HT201210 I updated the ipad and when finished it asked me for a passcode. I tryed my password 3 times and now cannot get into the ipad. It says it is disabled.

I updated my ipod this morning and it worked fine. I never needed a password to use my ipod before this. I tryed to get back in and it asked for a PASSCODE. I tryed my password 3 times and now it just shows "ipad disabled"

In case anyone has had the same problem as me, I have just managed to fix this by doing the following:
Switch off Mac
Switch back on in Safe Mode (Hit power button, then hold Shift key until a loading bar appears at the bottom of the screen).
Switch off Mac again
Remove power cord and wait 15 seconds
Plug power cord back in and hold down the keys alt, cmd, p, r all at the same time until you hear Starting chime for a second time and hopefully your audio will back.

I changed my passcode, and then forgot it. Is there any way to fix this without restoring it?

Your options are to remember the passcode or restore it
On the plus side if you used iCloud or synced with iTunes theres a good chance you will get most of your data back after restoring

When I plug in my IPOD Nano into a USB port, the computer recognizes it as a printer. It then attempts to install the printer software, which is already installed. The only way to fix it is to unplug the printer. Any thoughts?

HT1338 I have just bought a new MacBook Pro, switch it on and followed the Setup Assistant. Now the Mac is asking me for a password to access the computer. Assistant Setup did cover a password to access Mac. Not a good start, as I cannot get into the driv

Just open up the box to my new MacBook Pro. Have gone through Assistant Setup. The Mac is asking for a password. Assistant Setup did not ask for a password to be setup. I cannot get into the computer as its requires a password that I did not set up? Why it is doing this I have no idea. I tried my Apple ID password, no luck. Any other options?

At the risk of asking the obvious, Have you tried not entering anything and then hitting "Return"?
Hope this helps

I have the Iphone 5, and it shuts off randomly and the screen glitches. I have taken it into verizon and had it reset but the problem still continues. Is the only way to fix the problem to get a new phone?

I have the Iphone 5, and it shuts off randomly and the screen glitches. I have taken it into verizon and had it reset but the problem still continues. Is the only way to fix the problem to get a new phone? Also, why is it if I do need a new phone I can only get a refurbished one when I am paying insurance every month?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

How can I reset my lock passcode without plugging it into the computer or restoring it or resetting any data?

I went I to my phone and I tried to unlock my passcode but it did not let me in, how can I reset my lock passcode without plugging it onto the computer on iTunes, or restoring it or deleting any data ?

You don't. The only way to remove the passcode if forgotten is to restore the device. If you have a backup, you can restore to that last backup, but anything done since that last backup would be lost.Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

HT201365 My iphone is disabled and cannot open it to save my life! Help! I'm using the only passcode I have and cannot get into the phone to disable the Find Iphone. I'm frustrated!

My iphone is disabled and have tried the only passcode I have, to no avail. Cannot turn off the Find Iphone because I can't get into my phone.

So, you're not talking about trying to turn on the iphone using your passcode, but are talking about the phone being disabled from having used Find My iPhone to put it in lost mode - right?

HT4993 Forgot apple password, changed it my wife can get into on her phone and on the ipad but I cannot get into the apple account from my phone. What do I need to do?

We forgot Apple password, changed it. I can't get into Apple but my wife can get into it on her iPhone 5s and we can get into it on the ipad but I can't on my 4S. Any suggestions?

Hello there, pacase1.
From what I understand you've changed the password but can't login to a particular feature on your iPhone 4s. If that is the case, the following Knowledge Base article provides some good pointers to use depending on which feature/service you're trying to sign into on your iPhone:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID

If the issue is still with your password, feel free to review the following documentation:

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
