The home screen is locked and i cant remember the password. How can i open the screen?

Hey 1966Gt6,
I found an article that goes over what to do if you've forgotten or can't remember your passcode. Check it out here:

    I think you can fix by plugging it in and restore plus back up. Go to apple.com to see if there would be another way.

  • My ipod is on lock and i cant remember the combination

    i acidentally put my ipod on lock and i cant remember the combination. what do i do?

    Damon,
    From your link;
    "Unlocking iPod
    You can unlock iPod in one of two ways:
    1. Enter the combination on iPod using the same controls you used to set the combination. If you do not enter the correct combination, the digits onscreen flash red. When you enter the combination correctly, iPod will unlock and return you to the last viewed screen.
    2. Connect iPod to the primary computer you use it with (the first one iPod synced with), and open iTunes. When you disconnect iPod from the computer, it will no longer be locked."

    You can login to your iCloud account and remove the iPhone for our devices and then restore by the recovery mode as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 or you can do a remote erase from the iCloud account.

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup

    Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up    
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store    

  • How do you setup a user mobile account, with the home directory stored locally and not synced to the server?

    I want to be able to setup a user mobile account, with the home directory stored locally and not synced to the server.  What is the best way to do this? I am running Server 10.6 with 10.6 clients.  Open Directory will be used to authenticate and manage preferences.   Also, this one account will be used simultaneosly in a computer lab setting, so files will be stored locally in the client, hence the need to NOT sync to the server.  Any Ideas?

    You can't. You will have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    The screen-lock passcode is a good security feature.

  • Hi, I forgot my email and password and my iphone need to activate i dont know what to do and i cant remember the email address or the password please help me I dont wanna lose my phone :(

    hi, I forgot my email and password and my iPhone need to activate i don't know what to do and i cant remember the email address or the password please help me I don't wanna lose my phone.

    IF you forget your email and password and you are stuck in the activation process, it usually gives you a clue on what is your email like w********[email protected] If you really own the phone, you already have a clue on what is that email add. Then go to appleid.apple.com, click on manage my device, enter what you think is your email addy (no harm in trying that it wont lock) then click on i forget password. This will give you an option to either sent the password to an alternate email. If you have several, then sad to say you have to open it one by one and check including your spam mails. Another option is to answer some security questions you made while creating an apple id. Your last option is to call apple support. If you know the email add and you can prove ownership, they can reset the password for you

    You are allowed to have two machines with activated installations, so if you only had one installation, you still have the option to install on a second without doing anything further than that.  If you originally downloaded the purchase thru Adobe then you might find a download link available in your Adobe account online.  You can also download thru the following page if you can find your version:
    Download and Installation Help -
    https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
    You can have the first installation deactivated to free up the activation and have it available for another machine again as well.  YOu need to contact Adobe Support thru chat for that.  For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

    iOS 7 has an antitheft feature. A stolen phone can NEVER be used again, except by the original owner or with the authorization of the original owner. If you bought a stolen phone that was your mistake; get your money back. While it's possible that the seller "forgot" their password, that is an easily corrected problem. In most countries knowingly possessing stolen property is a crime. Even if you don't know it is stolen, it can be taken from you and returned to the rightful owner.
    If it really wasn't stolen, and it was an honest mistake on the part of the seller, the seller can easily correct the mistake and authorize your activation of the phone.

  • HT3412 I want to send a Photo book to Belgium but I can't change the Country (now is Italy) in the shipping contacts  but only the address (name, street, city) and there is Italy fix. How can I do ?

    I want to send a Photo book to Belgium but I can't change the Country (now is Italy) in the shipping contacts  but only the address (name, street, city) and there is Italy fix. How can I do ? Can I send from my country a photobook in another country?

    You can change the Print Store location from iTaly to Belium in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane:
    Then try to order.  HOWEVER, you still may not be able to order.  Over here in the States the shipping address must be in the same country as the billing address of the credit card used.  It may be the same way over in Europe.
    Give it a try and see. Let us know how you fare.
