HT201304 I am a parent who set the restrictions on my sons phone and stupidly forgot the password. It has locked me out and I still can't remember. How can I get back in without resetting his phone? He will freak if I do that!

Help!!!! Need help figuring this out

You cannot. There is no way to recover or reset the password except to restore the phone as a new device. You cannot even restore from a backup, because the backup contains the Restrictions passcode and will just bring it back. Sorry.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

Change your password.

My daughter cannot get into her IPOD with the current password. She changed her password but it has locked her out and won't let her in. It says it is disabled and to try again later. Can her password be sent to her email address? What can we do?

My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod has locked her out ir says disabled connect to itunes. The computer she last synced to has crashed. How can I unlock this ipod?

The device will have to be restored but without the last computer it was synced to, that's not a possibility.
Take the iPod to an Apple store or Apple certified repair shop.
You will need a computer in order to sync, restore, and update the iPod in the future.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

HT1212 I need to remove the restrictions from my iPod Touch, but I forgot the passcode. How can I reset it? I tried syncing it with the computer, but don't see an option to remove the passcode.

The internet&app store applications were removed from my iPod by restrictions. My father put this block in place and doesn't remember the passcode to reset the restrictions. How can i reset them without the passcode, or reset the passcode?

You can't. The only way to remove the Restriction password is to: a) Restore the iPod using a backup that predates the setting up of the Restrictions password; or assuming you don't have such a backup b) Restore the iPod to Factory Settings/New iPod.

I'm having trouble getting into my ipad. There is message on the screen in a small box saying my subscription to a film has expired. When I press 'ok' in the small box nothing happens and I cannot use the ipad. I have tried turning it off and on but the same message is there and I cannot use the ipad. Any suggestions, please?

Try this and see if it helps.
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

TS4036 I just uploaded the new 7 update 2 days ago and now my phone has locked me out and is saying disabled , i called verizon and the said to contact apple . it asked for my pass code but i did not remember it and tried it to many times and it is locked

help!!!!! i just uploaded 2 days ago the new 7 update to my phone , then yesterday morning , it said disabled and asked me for my pass code . I couldnt remember what it was , so after trying different ones it finally locked me out for good. how do i fix this !!!!!!?????

If your phone is disabled from entering the wrong passcode too many times you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

I am locked out of my new ipod touch 5 how do i get back in?

Help - my daughter is locked out of her brand new ipod touch 5 she just got for x-mas. She can't remember the password she put on it. What can we do?

For teh 28th time today:
Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and 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 iPod backup that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTuns purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Over some images my imac cursor has changed to a hand with a blue magnifying grid - how to I get back to normal?

Sometimes when moving over an image, mt cursor changes to a hand with a blue magnifying grid. How can I disable this?
Thanks!

Thanks sberman ... unfortunately that option is & has been unticked. It has happened to me two or three times but my memory ain't what it used to be so I can't recall the exact circumstances. It went away by itself this morning after an overnight shutdown so I don't think it can be a "preferences" item. Only thing I had to do this morning was to change trackpad batteries. Maybe low batt power was the cause? Interestingly before I posted the query here, I was searching all over the net for a similar problem and could not find even one related post or comment anywhere. And this post has 53 views with only your reply so maybe it is a spurious / unique problem? I'll leave the post for now as the problem seemed to have fixed itself and if it happens again, I will re-try everything first, including checking batteries. Somehow I thought mnaybe I had hit a keyboard shortcut in error but I can't find any reference at all to this kind of behaviour. Wierd!! But thanks very much for your reply!!

I changed my password and hit the wrong key. How do I get back in without restoring it and loosing everything.

I had to change the password on my 1st Generation ipod because my freinds knew the password when i changed it i set it to 0000 and when i locked it it would not accept my 0000 password. Is there anyway to unlock my ipod ir change the password or even get the currnt password I have to unlock it without erase all og my apps and restoring it to the factory settings.

No. 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.
