Hi ratcat14!
I have an article that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

I forgot my password for my iphone 4 and it is now disabled. I am trying to restore it through itunes, but it say I have to put my passcode into my phone first. Is there a way to restore without using my passcode?

The instructions are in that link. Just follow them VERY CAREFULLY. Especially the part about:
Turn off your device and leave it off.
Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes. [but DON'T connect it to the iPhone yet]
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
When you see the iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.

See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password...

If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

If it is second hand, try putting it in recovery mode, and restoring it with itunes on a mac or pc.

My iCloud apple id is my old id, which i do not know the password for. Since this email is no longer working, i cannot reset the password on it. Recently my iPhone has been asking me to sign into my iCloud id which i have been unable to do. Help?

As i dont know the password, it is restricting my use of the phone, as the verification box contiually reappears. It has stopped doing it now for reasons i do not know, but how can i prevent this in the future?

Call Apple and speak to someone in account security. Fix the problem with your account.

TS5223 After my iphone updated to ios7, it reverted back to my old icloud account which I do not know the password, do not have access to the email it sends the reset to and the reset for security options say my birthday information is wrong.

Help!!! I've lost all of my contacts and information after the ios7 update. After the update I plugged my phone into my MacBook and it reverted back to my old icloud account. I checked my MacBook and everything on there is connected to my new icloud account. I'm not sure why this has happened, but I have been trying for two days to get my new icloud account back. My phone won't allowe to log out of the icloud account it is logged into because I don't know the password. Simple solution, reset the password. Not so simple. I don't have the email address associated with the account anymore. So I attempted the security question option. When I entered my birthdate, it said that it was incorrect. I have tried multiple times and nothing will work. Can someone please help me??

If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

HT201442 Just bought a brand new ipod touch a month ago and went in to iTunes. There was an update for me so I downloaded it to my ipod and then it went into recovery mode. Tried to restore it in itunes but was told this device isn't eligible. Help!!

Just bought a new ipod touch a month ago. Went into itunes to burn music and had an update to download which I did. Then I get a message that my ipod has gone into recovery mode. It's locked up with a black screen with iTunes logo and picture of a plugin on the screen. Tried to restore it as recommended but itunes said this device isn't eligible for the requested build. Error codes 3194 and 17. This is very frustrating considering the cost of the ipod and how new it is. Now what do I do? Buy another one? Can anybody fix these types of things? Is this a common occurance or am I just unlucky?

I have a MAC 10 and am trying to import photos from my Kodak Workforce 6 into Photoshop. Any ideas on how to go about this?

I have a MAC OS X and a Kodak Workforce Scanner 6. I am trying to import photos from the scanner to my Photoshop Elements 11. Any ideas?

Perhaps you need to install the optional twain plugin:

How do I change my apple email address, I don't have access to that email as I've not got the password for the retrieval of my iCloud set up, thanks :)

I've tried all the passwords I can think of for my old email (which I had when I originally set up my apple account) but cannot get access to it for the likes of my email verification codes for iCloud etc and I can't change it to to my existing email add because apparently it's my backup email/rescue email. I'm not using my phone to it's potential as I can't get into iCloud, any clues? Thanks

I have purchased a new macbook air today and don't know the password for it?

I have purchased a new MacBook Air today and dont know what the passord is that was created today - in truth i discussed with the sales assistance that i didnt want one and im sure she just tabbed through that section!!!
Im now trying to load Office:mac and of course need a password!
Does anyone know what to do?

Maybe give your man a call?
There are ways to reset passwords, but it's probably easier to just ask the guy.

I have created an Apple ID which has been verified but when I go to download a free app it reverts to an ols (alternate apple ID and not the one that has been verified. I do not know the password for the old Apple ID

I have created an apple ID whiuch has been verified however when I go to download an app mit reverts to an old apple ID and asks for a different password which I do not have. How can I edit or delete the old (alternate) password and ensure that it only refers to the current Apple ID when requesting confirmation. Note the old Apple iD is a gmail account and I read somewhere that you can not edit or delete gmail or me.com apple IDs? Is this the case?

Did you create a brand new account or change an existing Apple ID?
