Once the restoral from iCloud to the iPad has taken place, how do I get a reset / restoral of the activation lock code ?

You could only pass the activation lock by entering the password of the account which was associated with the device.

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

  • HT201365 help me disable the activation lock code on iOS7

    Is there any way to disable the activation lock code on iOS7?  I don't want to have to type in a code every time I use my phone!  There's nothing out there on the web and I fear it's built in to the new security features.  If so, I'll change back to the old 6.  Thanks.

    duh.  it's still the same!  thank you for responding!!!

  • HT201365 how do i locate my lost iphone pls

    Please how do I find my lost iphone

    The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
    If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
    If locked with a passcode, and running iOS 7.0, then phone cannot be activated or the passcode removed without knowing your Apple iD/Password. It will be nothing but a useless paperweight.
    If not running iOS 7.0, the phone can be forced into recovery mode & restored.

  • How to restore iphoto library lost files

    I need to know how to restore my iphoto library. I was trying to backup my photos using an external harddrive. I clicked the option key then opened iphoto. I tried to  send the photos to my ext harddrive but could not. I even tried to import my photos to files on my desktop, then drag and drop, but could not. I've done this before but now it won't work.Now when I can't open iphoto, here is nothing in my library. I had 10,000 pictures in labeled albums. Now nothing. How do I get the option mode off? The iphoto library has a foggy-gray look to it and I can't click on anything. My photos are still in my picture folders in my finder.
    Thanks for any help!

    1 - Never make any changes of any dsort to the structure or content of the iphoto library - and it is best to jsut stay out of it as there are no user servicable parts in it
    2 - to restore your iPhoto library you must first have a backup of it - do you? Time Machine or other backup program? or an exact copy of the iPhoto library?
    3 -
    I clicked the option key then opened iphoto. I tried to  send the photos to my ext harddrive but could not.
    exactly what did you do? this makes no sense - option launching iPhoto does not give you any option to send anything anyplace - it does give you the capability to select a different library.  If you did that then option launch iPhoto again, use the select library options and select your iPhoto library on your main drive

  • If my password expired can i restore and get past activation lock?

    I can still log into iTunes but icloud says my password has expired. I lost by backup key and i am not totaly locked out of my account. Will i still be able to restore my phone to disable the activation lock and link it to my new id?

    no i was on apple support for 2 hrs trying to see if i cant recover my account but its impossable. the fourms give me this message along with icloud and along with the dev fourms.
    no i did not get scammed or anything i cant log in due to loosing my backup 2 step authentication key and my phone is not trusted when i updated to 7.0.2 which is why im asking if its possable to log in during restore into the activation lock because my itunes still works and will continue to according to apple support. they cant touch your account once 2 step authentication is enabled

  • HT201365 How do I unlock the phone after locking it through "Find My iPhone?"

    How do I unlock the phone after locking it through "Find My iPhone?"

    If you placed it in lost mode to lock it, sign into icloud.com, click on lost mode and turn it off.  If it is locked with Activation lock you'll have to provide the password for the iCloud ID you are being prompted for in order to use it.

  • How to restore the greek keyboard passcode lock in IOS 7.0.2

    Anyone know how to restore the keyboard passcode lock back to the greek style in IOS 7.0.2? I heard it's an option in the new firmware update but can't figure out how to go back to it. Any ideas?

    Yes, but you might not want to do this at the present time as it's likely your phone will not recognise the new password once set. See other posts.

    How can i unlock my i cloud lock? i have got password from my seller but it says wrong password. but i can log to i cloud from PC

    If a second-hand iOS device has been 'Activation locked' then only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
    If you are unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all. Apple cannot unlock it for you.
    You should if possible return it to wherever you bought it and ask for a refund as in this event the device is completely useless.

  • HT201365 erasing device is enough to bypass Activation Lock for new owner or unregistering it is required too?!!

    I sold my ipad mini a year ago and of course I erased it, but it still is in my products list and haven't Unregistered it yet. So my question is that, Erasing All Content and Settings is enough to bypass Activation Lock or device should be unregisted too?

    So if I hadn't sign out my device, and my friend would have restored it, in that case Activation Lock would be required? right?!

  • N97 Mini - Phone Data Lost when Lock Code is chang...

    Hi,
    I have changed the 'Lock Code' of my N97 mini under Settings>Phone>Phone Management> Security Settings> Phone and SIM Card> Lock Code. And to my surprise, after I changed the Lock Code, I found that all my contacts, messages and notes are lost. But Photos/Videos/Recorded files are available. I have tried all the ways but could not see the contacts/messages/notes/calendar entries. Unfortunately I donot have a back up of the data. Is there a way to restore the contacts/messages/notes on the phone?

    That won't work... reason being is you need the following requirements for the iPhone 4.
    Mac system requirements
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 10.1 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    iTunes Store account
    Internet access
    Windows system requirements
    PC with USB 2.0 port
    Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.1 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
