HT201274 how can i retrieve my restrictions passcode? i cannot unlock my phone if cannot log-in my restrictions passcode
how can i retrieve my "restrictions passcode"? i cannot proceed to unlock my iphone 4 if cannot supply the restrictions code.
thanks!
You can not do so. If you can't remember it, you will need to put the phone in DFU mode (google for instructions) and restore it as a new device. Do not restore your backup. The backup contains the restriction settings.

I have 3 apple devices an IPad Air/ iPhone5 and iphone4s they all currently running the IOS 8.3 and my question is:
How can I retrieve the restrictions passcodes in all of them without have to restore them all back to the factory settings ?
I have all the backups in my Icloud , but if I do that they all will come back to the same settings I have now which includes the same passcodes I don't remember. I had all my passwords and passcodes saved before, but I cant find them.
looking forward to hear from one of you out there...
Thank you!There's no way around restoring the device as new if you cannot remember your restrictions password. If there were, it would make having a restriction password useless.

Purchased songs in the past then recently purchasd new songs, but the new purchases replaced all of my old purchases. How can I retrieve my old purchases? Cannot find them in any of my playlists.
If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again. -
Doesn't work as eror 503 is no where in FAQs

iOS- Understanding passcodes
A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
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.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
2. Connect your device to your computer.
3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
4. Select the Summary tab.
5. Select the Restore option.
6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
necessary to create another.
7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
logo while starting up:
After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
you see "iPhone is activated."
9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, 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 turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information. -

Put in the restrictions passcode, and then Disable Restrictions.
Otherwise, you can't. That's the ENTIRE purpose of a passcode lock. -
HT1911 how can you retrieve your passcode for your ipod if you have forgotten it?
how can you retrieve your passcode for your ipod touch if you have forgotten it and it became disabled?
You cannot retrieve it.
You can do as the manual tells you to do and restore the ipod.

How can I retrieve my four digit security code? I've never been asked to use one before when trying to do an update.
There is no way to retrieve the 4 digit code. You have to restore the device if you don't know the code and you cannot unlock the device. There have been more than a few users that are asking about this and they are all saying the same thing that you are saying - they never set a passcode before.
What is the exact message that you are getting when you try to update? -
TS3274 How can I retrieve the iTunes and App icons to my home screen?
How can I retrieve the missing iTunes and App icons to my iPad home screen?
If you can't find them on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find them via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then are they hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps and iTunes being set 'off' ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -

My Ipad mini is disabledTry this first - I saw a recent post where a user with the same problem after an iOS update used his Apple ID password.
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

‘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 cancelling 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.

My kid accidentally removed my camera and apps store icon how can i retrieved it?
These cannot be removed, as they are original Apple supplied apps.
They may be buried in a folder somewhere.
One way to retrieve them is Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
It is possible your kid restricted these apps. Check Settings > General > Restrictions -
I've lost my Aps icon, how can i retrieve this?
I have lost my Aps icon, how can I retrieve this. I was told by Apple to restore my phone which resulted with me losing everything but still cannot retrieve the icon, can anyone help?
I assume you mean the App Store? If so, it cannot be deleted. It's either on another screen, in a folder or has been restricted under Settings > General > Restrictions.
If none of those, try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout. -
how can i retrieve password for iphone 4s
If you mean the passcode, there's no way to retrieve it. If she enters it incorrectly too many times, the phone will become disabled and she will have to restore it to remove the passcode. If this happens, have her follow one of the solutions listed at the bottom of this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212. The preferable solution is to back it up and restore it in iTunes on the last computer it was synced with (see "If you have previously synced your device with iTunes").
