HT4113 how do i reset my iPhone without iTunes?

i would like to know how can i enable my iphone without itunes.

A reset has nothing to do with iTunes.
What is meant by "enable" the iPhone?
If it is locked with a passcode and the passcode is unknown or forgotten, the only way to get the device functional is a restore via iTunes on a computer.

    how can i reset my iphone without update to ios 7.0.6

    You can wipe the device without updating:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    I would be remiss not to mention that iOS 7.0.6 patches a security flaw.
    If you choose not to update, your device will be at risk.

  • How do i reset my iphone without a computer?

    At school a few friends took my iphone and put a passcode on it without me knowing. They changed the code multiple times and didnt remember the correct code. Now my phone is disabled and says connect to itunes. When i connect to the computer itunes says'Itunes cannot connect to this iphone because it it is locked with a passcode. You must enter the passcode before you can use it with itunes.' Since I dont know the passcode i cannot access itunes to reset my phone. I logged on to my icloud account and went to 'Find my Iphone' and clicked on erase iphone, but you cant erase it unless the phone is connected to wifi. At the time this happened my data was turned off since i was picking up wifi from the school, problem is im not at school and therefore my phone cant pick up internet especially since it is disabled. Ive called Verizon and none of the thingsthey told me to try worked so they told me to contact you. Can you help me?

  • HT201401 How can i reset my iphone if the Sleep/Wake button does not work?

    My camera shuts off every time that I try to take a picture. I would like to reset my IPhone in order to try and solve the problem. My Sleep/Wake button does not work.
    How can I reset my IPhone without the Sleep/Wake Button working?
    Thanks for the help.

    When pressing the sheep/wake button, the iPhone's screen is not turned off if on and does not turn on if off, and pressing and holding the sleep/wake or on/off button does not bring up slide to power off?
    And you can't do a reset by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?
    If so and there is no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes, make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby since more than likely there is a hardware problem.

    I have tried resetting an iPhone 3 and I am unable to activate and sync it. How can I reset the device without using a computer?

    Hello anacc,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
    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.
    While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
    Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
    iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
    "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • Someone changed my passcode! How do I reset my phone without a power cord or iTunes?

    Well earlier this week, my iPhone 5c was stolen. but I got it back from the school's office. I had a passcode sent on it before so i simply entered that passcode into the phone but it wouldn't let me in at all. Now i guess you can say that the person who took my phone bypassed the passcode and changed it. I was wondering how do you reset the phone without a power cord or iTunes?

    Unfortunately, you can't.  You will need to access the computer you sync with and use iTunes.  This link will provide help:

  • How to reset my ipod without itune

    i forgot my password and i need to reset it but without itune, can i do that ? and thanks

    Only if:
    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
    otherwise you need a computer with iTunes and an interner connection
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    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        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    Thanks for your reply. Having read through relevant topics it suggests that if I sync my iphone with the correct account on my pc it should use that one thereafter. i will try both.
