  • HT1212 So my phone is locked and I'm having a tough time.

    So i changed my password to go in my phone. But after a while i forgot it and i disabled my phone for a long time(2 days). So i went online to help me with this problem and it said this.
    If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
    If you have chosen to encrypt your backup, it will contain the passcode. Disable backup encryption before restoring from backup. Learn more about iOS backups in iTunes.
    When the backup and sync is complete, select Restore from Backup and choose the most recent backup of your device.
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
    So i tried but i cant do it. I have an iMac and i cant do it and it tough for me. Can you pease help me?

    Only your carrier can unlock a phone, if they even allow that.  The two major carriers in the US, for example, do not unlock iphones under any circumstances.  If not in the US, visit your carrier (or call them up) to find out what their policy is.

  • File locked, need to unlock it

    Hi all:
    Due to a system crash I have ran fsck to recover the file systems. Then, when rebooting the system, I have found that a Veritas service, called qlogck, claims that its configuration file (/etc/qlogck.conf) is locked. So I must type ctrl-d to continue the boot process. How could I unlock this file, so that the boot process run normally?
    Thanks and regards,
    Felix.

    The reason I'm asking, we have a bunch of computers we inherited that have some permissions issues within each user's respective home directory ("~"). The issue effects Acrobat Pro X's ability to launch ("Internal error occurred") since it tries to get access files/folders it doesn't have access to when the user launches. Recursively setting ownership to the respective user fixes the problem (and follows Apple's guidelines). However, that one file appears to have the unix file lock set (man chflags). So we are using a pre-installation script on our push policy to loop through every home directory. It appears the above file is the only one that won't let us change permissions.

  • HT1212 my iphone screen is broken and i need to access it through itunes but my phone is locked. it cannot be unlocked on the screen but is there any way i can do it on itunes?

    my iphone screen is broken and i need to access it through itunes but my phone is locked. it cannot be unlocked on the screen but is there any way i can do it on itunes so i can access it?

    Depends, if you've synced with this iTunes, while that passcode was enabled, you won't be prompted to enter the passcode when connecting your phone. If you have not synced, while that passcode was enabled, you will. So, if you fall in the later, there is no way to do what you want.

    Hey carla1958,
    Thanks for the question. The following article provides some solutions if you are having issues with passcode lock:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    5. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    Hi - I need help. I would like to use my old iPhone 3 as an iPod for music only. Problem is that my phone is locked with a password I can't remember. I havent used the phone since I got my iPhone 4. Anyone who know how I can reset the phone to standard installation or just get acces to the phone. There is no SIM card in the phone.

    Hi Lawrence,
    Thanks for your prompt response, however I have first seen it now. I have placed an active SIM card in the iPhone turned it off and on. It now says SIM locked, please write access code. The problem is I don't remember the password. When I connect it to iTunes it tell me that I have to write the password before it can be used with iTunes...... Do you have any good ideas? I see you are from the NYC area.... used to work there back in the early 90´   Those were good days..... What a City

  • When I try to restore from backup, it says my phone is locked and I need a passcode, but it isn't locked

    When I try to restore my contacts on my iphone 3G from my MacBook Pro, it says that my phone is locked and that I need a passcode, however, it doesn't give me the option to enter a passcode. I checked to see if it was locked and it is not. For some reason, the sync process thinks it is. Any ideas?
    Thank you

    You're right about the computer. Our computer guy couldn't get my computer to work right so he used a coworkers. However, when it says I need to enter a passcode, it doesn't give me a popup or anything to do so...?

  • HT4113 uh my phone is broken and won't turn on. so I'm getting a new phone and need to back it up but i need to unlock my passcode to backup but my phones locked sooooo idk ;/

    uh my phone is broken and won't turn on. so I'm getting a new phone and need to back it up but i need to unlock my passcode to backup but my phones locked sooooo idk ;/

    Nothing you can do, sorry to say.  If it will not turn on there is absolutely nothing you can do now to backup what is on it.  The whole point of a backup is to have made it before disaster strikes.  Now, with a dead iPhone, all you can do is accept the loss of your data.
    You will be able to re-download iTunes and App store purchases since they are tied to your AppleID, not your device.
    Have you been using iCloud for backup?  If you have, then you should have a backup in iCLoud you can use to restore your replacement phone with.  iCloud backups are automatic (once every 24hrs, whenever your device is on wifi, plugged in and asleep).
