Device locked with a passcode:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
*** You CAN 'Restore from a Backup', but if the backup was made while passcode was enabled, then the backup will restore the device with the passcode still on it. If you don't remember the passcode, you will need to restore the device as 'New' or 'Restore from a Backup' that doesn't contain the passcode in it. ***

I forgot my passcode, then I decided to restore through Itune but it says iphone 3 could not be restored error 1015 occurred. what should I do?
Was the computer used to jailbreak a different iOS device? Are you trying to forcibly install a version of iOS other than the current version for your device? (4.2.1 for the 3G, 6.0.1 for the 4 and 4S, 6.0.2 for the 5).
Those are the only other reasons you would get that error other than an extremely rare hardware failure. -

How can I retrieve stored information on iphone when I am unable to enter passcode to unlock the phone.
Hook the phone to a computer running iTunes and backup to the computer. Copy pictures off the phone manually to the computer.

Hello,
Since I updated my iphone none of my music that I did not purchase through itunes no longer works on my iphone. It is weird, the music is on the iphone but in gray and the iphone does not recognize it. The only songs that I could play are my songs that I downloaded on my phone that were purchased through itunes.
Another error: When I purchase a new song on itunes it doesn't put the song in my purchased playlist like it used too. In order for me to play that song I just purchased I have to go back to the itunes store and play it directly from the place I purchased it from which is super annoying.
Frankly I am really disappointed with the constant errors from upgrades that should be "Up grades" Not "down grades". Not sure why is going on but not seems to work the same anymore. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with my iphone music?
Thank you,
DagoYou will probably lose the music.
Why is it not on your computer?

how do i get the encrypt iphone backup password??
Tips here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
If the backup you're trying to restore from is encrypted, you will not be able to use that backup if you can't remember the encrypted backup passcode.
If on a Mac, & you elected to save the passcode to your Keychain, you can recover the passcode from your Keychain. Otherwise, your backup data is unrecoverable.
While you can continue to sync/backup, if you can't remember it & want to remove it, you'll have to delete your existing backups, & restore your phone as a new device. Your data will be unrecoverable.
You delete your existing backups here: iTunes>Preferences>Devices. -

Have purchased music through itune app on my iphone, now my iphone is dead
I have purchased music on my iphone through the iphone app, unfortunately I haven't backed it up in my itunes library on the pc, now my iphone is dead, won't even restore to factory settings, can I retrieve the music already purchased on my iphone or have I lost it all?
On my Win 7 pc, I installed latest itunes and went to the new quick link "purchased" however this only allows me to redownload apps and books,no music. Do i need to wait for IOS 5 for my iphone to enable me to download all of my lost music (as per the site this version of IOS is not scheduled for release until the fall?)
What I find puzzling, is that under my "account details" from the Itunes store on my WIN 7 PC I can see my history of purchases going back to 2005 but cannot download to my devices ?
Any suggestions ? -
When I play a movie through iTunes, audio has no issues but video stutters and skips
Hey everyone,
I have a Dell 17R, Windows 8 64 bit, intel i7-3630QM at 2.4 GHZ, 8gb ram, Nvidia GT-650M at 1920x1080 using driver 320.49
When I play a movie in iTunes, the audio works flawlessly but the video will be smooth for a few seconds, stutter and then skip small 2-3 second spots. I haven't noticed that the parts skipped are any more graphically intense than other spots and there is no discernable pattern.
In the past, I have been able to play movies through iTunes with absolutely no problem but when I downloaded this most recent one a few days ago all of my movies have been experiencing the same issue.
When I stream other videos from other sources I do not experience the same problems as I do when I use iTunes. Streaming 1080P over youtube or a similar services is no issue.
I have updated my video drivers to the latest version as well.
I am at a loss, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

Unlocking procedure for i phone through itunes store?
Can anyone just tell me how to make my iphone sim free by unclocking it through itunes store.
I have an account and orange.fr tell me i can unlock it now, so i can give it to my wife but can,t find any way of doing it? I have a new 3g iphone now so have put my sim in this and it works fine. ps my wife is also with orange.fr
thanksHello Franco.
I am not aware of the iTunes application unlocking the iPhone so you can use it SIM free or with another provider.
If Orange France has stated you can unlock it. Typically they can do something on the backside releasing it from their exclusive network. Once this is done then you can use another provider.
But you would need to contact Orange for this and see if it is even possible for them to do on their end. -
HT1414 How to enter passcode with voiceover
How to enter passcode with voiceover?
Have you tried to enter the passocde this way?
When you see the password entry keys, tap each key once to select it, then double tap the key to enter it. So if I had a passcode of 1234 I would:
tap 1, pause, double tap 1 (see the entry field get filled)
tap 2, pause, double tap 2
etc.
It should work the same way for a full password, only more tedious.
There is another possibility worth trying first. Triple tap the
Home
button. If you have Accessibility set up this way you should get a popup that will let you turn Voice Over off.
I copied the text from this forum.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
