HT1212 my ipad is locked and saying connect to itunes and im trying to connect it but its saying you need to type the passcode in but i cant because its still saying its locked what do i do
my ipad is locked and its saying connect to itunes which i have done and on itunes its saying ipad can not connect because its got a passcode but i cant type the pass code in because its locked what do i do
You need to follow the instructions in the second half of that page
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.
So you need to click on the 'If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer' heading and follow the instructions underneath it

Just got a new Iphone 5s. On my Iphone 4 I had to double click to show what apps were running and then to hold my finger on an app to deactivate it. Do you need to deactivate the apps on the 5s? If so how do you do it.
Double tap the home button to reveal the "Recently used Apps" then slide the App preview (not the icon) upwards to quit the App.

i have no idea what to do please help
Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software. -

TS3297 I get the 'cannot connect to itunes' message when trying to connect to the store on my ipad2.
I can access my account fine on my PC, ipad software is up to date and I've reset the ipad numerous times but still no joy. Does anyone have a solution please?
Many thanksThere seems to be an issue with the iTunes store. There are quite a few posts with similar complaints, but I have not seen a statement from Apple.
Some report that logging out of your account and then log in again seems to work. -
when I connected the phone to itunes it says that the phone cannot be synced to itunes because it is protected by a passcode and i need to put the passcode in but the phone is disabled and doesn't give me the option to enter the passcode
If you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into Recovery Mode & restore as a new device.

When I try and open adobe illustrator I get a pop up message saying "To open “Adobe Illustrator CS6” you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime." it also says "Click “More Info…” to visit the legacy Java SE 6 download website." When i click more info it transfers me to an apple page which never loads, its just a blank page. I downloaded Java SE 6 like it says it needs but it did nothing. All of my other Adobe programs such as bridge, dreamweaver, lightroom, Photoshop, indesign, and flash all work except for illustrator. What can I do to fix this?
Go to Apple and look for the Java for OSX 2014-001 link. Download from there and install it.

While I was updating my phone, there was an error and it's stuck on the screen where it has the cable connecting to itunes. I tried to connect, but it's stuck. I've tried different cables and ports, but nothing works. Is there anything I can do without erasing my phone? I can't remember the last time I backed up my phone and I turned off iCloud because of the space it was taking up. I keep shutting it down and turning it back on, but the same screen appears. If you think you have a solution, please share!
Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
Unfortunately, the data on your phone is already gone if you're seeing the connect to iTunes logo. -

I lost my ipod. Found it using "find my iphone" but had already "locked" it remotely. THe instructions I read indicate d I'd receive an email from Find My Iphone App with the unlock code...I never received this message/code. THe screen message says "ipod isdisabled: connect to itunes" I've tried to backup and restore, have tried to wipe it remotely using "find my iphone' and have followed the instructions on apple support to enable...none of these have been successful. Basically the ipod is in locked mode and will not resond. When I tried to restore it using itunes, a message indicating that it could be neither restored nor backed up because it was locked with a passcode...anyone else had this problem and what is the fix? THansk!
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
