HT1212 ive tried all of the above suggestions and my iphone is still disabled any other ideas?

i have tried numerous times to restore my disabled iphone 4s through itunes but itunes keeps asking me for the passcode which i dont remember. Thats how i got into this mess, forgetting my passcode. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

The article you have referenced tells you how to get around the passcode requirement. If you are not able to get past it, then you have to go to the "If you have never synced with iTunes or do not have a computer" section. You have to put the device in Recovery mode to get past the issue.
Reread the article and follow the Recovery instructions.
Cheers,
GB

    Try to drag an app into folder and then drag it out.
    Or reset you iPhone. Hold down Power and Home buttons until Apple logo appears. Release and wait to reboot.

  • TS1362 I have tried all of the above "fixes" and the cd that I just downloaded won't play properly. It says that the song is 3:33 long but only 1:40 of it plays before skipping to the next track

    How do I fix a cd that did not download correctly. I have tried all of the above fixes, but the songs either stop halfway through, or won't play at all.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • I have tried all of the above solutions and I am still getting repeated crashes or messages interrupting anything I am trying to do

    At first the messages and crashes were only happening if I tried to play a game (Farmville) on Facebook. Then after a week I started getting the crashes and messages on Facebook. Now I get interrupted and crashes and messages on my Hotmail, Facebook and anything else I try to do. I have done all of the solutions on your site but none of them have stopped this. It did work a bit better when I downgraded the Flash to 10.3. But that only lasted a couple of hours and then I was right back to the way it is now. It makes it very frustrating to try to type an email, answer a friend, check my facebook and god forbid I try to play my game. I have actually gone two days in a row not even being able to get on to the game never mind play it. The message I keep getting is: Shockwave Flash might be busy or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the plug in now or you can see it the plug in will continue. If I don't click the wait button soon enough, then it crashes. If I click the wait button, I might get the same message over and over for almost ten minutes minutes before I can continue. Not only does it freeze the game, but it also freezes the computer. I can't get off, I can't go open another tab, if I have my emails open doesn't matter because everything freezes and I can't continue with anything until it stops. I am really sick and tired of this, its been going on for so long but it used to happen once maybe in half an hour, now what used to take me an hour to do on the computer can take upto 8 hours and thats only checking my game, email, etc., once. I used to be able to go on in the morning for an hour and then back on a night for an hour or so before bed. Not now. Please help, I don't know what else to do

  • I am having trouble downloading purchase, I keep getting an authorize computer message, I have tried all of the support suggestions and have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes to no avail.

    I have tried everything the support page suggests, checking ID, deleting SC file, changing account allowances in windows, I have even uninstalled and reinstalled itunes....I am at a loss for what else to do.

    "itunes did not download properly; please reinstal."
    What's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

    Bookmarks are not syncing to ONE of my Macs, but showing up on other Mac (work), iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Macs are on Mountain Lion. Tried all of Apple's suggestions - and the one Mac is still not updating/syncing Bookmarks or Reading List. What's going on? Do I have to wait to OS update? It seems lots of peolple were having issues before ML, but I as fine. Since ML, I am having all kinds of issues!

    Yeah, I literally have tried everything except deleting my iCloud account (I'm close, but that would require so many changes that it is way too painful to consider at this point).
    I am still waiting to hear back from Apple Support. Hopefully something can be done, or they can do a reset on their end.
    Thanks for taking the time to respond though, much appreciated!

    If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem with the wireless card or with something else.

  • HT201412 I have tried all of the above and still can't get my ipad to respond

    I have tried all of the above and still can't get my ipad to respond

    Everything? Did you see the very last part about restoring the iPad and did you notice that there is another link in that step in case you cannot restore the iPad?
    Symptoms
    Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch may occasionally stop responding to buttons, switches, or touchscreen input and may exhibit one or more of the symptoms listed below.
    Resolution
    If any of these symptoms occurs, follow the steps in this article to resolve the issue. The device:
    Does not return to the Home screen after pressing the Home button
    Does not wake from sleep after pressing the Sleep/Wake button
    Does not turn on (or power on) when pressing any button
    Appears frozen or unresponsive
    Is unable to "Slide to Unlock" or "Slide to Power Off"
    If a single application is not responding or freezes when it opens, you can force it to close
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. When the red slider appears, release the Sleep/Wake button.
    Instead of dragging the red slider, press and hold the Home button for six seconds.
    If the device does not return to the Home screen, see the steps below to restart.
    If the device is unresponsive or certain controls aren't working as expected, try restarting
    To turn off the device, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.

    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Home button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, let the device to continue to charge until it turns on.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes

    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.
    Additional Information
    Ensuring that your iOS device is kept updated to the latest software should minimize the occurrence of these issues.

  • Inbuilt isight camera is detected in system profiler but no image is being detected only a black screen shows up. I have tried all of the troubleshooting instructions and it still wont work. The iMac im using is OS X 10.6 and was an ex-floor model

    Hi,
    I would try a Safe Boot first.  (This will take longer than a normal Boot and you will need to Restart afterwards).
    If it were an older OS I would also suggest going to System Preferences > Displays and making sure the display is set to Millions.  (My MacBook Pro does not have this option in Snow Leopard so I did presume Snow Leopard does not have it).
    With some laptops there have been some issues with the cable up the back of the screen pulling loose with regular and frequent use of the lid, but this will not apply to you based on your specs.  (it does take time to appear and is also somewhat rare). However it seems enough contact with the camera can make it appear in System Profiler and power it on but not give a pic.
    If a Safe Boot does not work I would also try a PRAM reset.
    Shut down the computer.
    Restart it holding down Apple/CMD (or ⌘)+ALT( ⌥)+P+R Keys until you have heard three Start Up Bongs.
    This is actually "less" destructive in that it clears less memory items than Safe Boot but they are different enough to warrant trying.
    Do you have an older version of iGlasses installed ?
    The one for Leopard does not work for Snow Leopard.
    Do you have  Web Browser open ?
    This may point to  Google Video Chat Plug-in and Flash Conflict.  It would be rare to allow another app to access the camera even if not displayiong a Pic. 
    (Chrome Installs the Plug-in as does the standalone download).
    Knowing  what "any application" exactly you are trying might help us pin it down.
    Any additional downloaded  apps that can use the camera ?
    Do you happen to have something balck in front of the camera ?

    Are you leaving the box unchecked to Manually manage music & videos? You don't need to to add anything to the iPhone.
    Simply drag the playlist to the iPhone to manually add it.

    I did all of the above recommendations and still Biblexpress is not working. Should not the developer have an update to care for the problem?

    You should contact the developer directly to inform them of any issues.
    There should be links in the App and if not, there should be links
    to the developer's site and support in their presentation in the App Store.

    However, I suspect you zapped the Mini, maybe the lower voltage part since you siad  the fan works.
    The power surge could have went into HDMI and damaged the TV.
