HT4623 how to stop passcode lock

I want to stop the passcode lock on IOS 7.  THis appears to be automatic, but I am sure there must be a way to disable.  Any ideas?

General-Passcode lock- turn passcode off seemed to work for me. Still have to slide but it unlocks with no code.

    If you're talking about your passcode lock, and you have gotten to the point of being disabled, you'll have to put your phone into recovery mode, then restore through iTunes.

  • How to set Passcode lock time in iOS 7.02?

    In upgrading my Sprint, iPhone 5s from iOS 7.0 to 7.0.2, when go to Settings/General/Passcode-Fingerprint/Require Passcode, it is now set on "Immediately", when, in 7.0, I had it set for 15 minutes.
    When I touch the word "Immediately", the screen shows the word "Immediately", followed by a checkmark. Below the word "Immediately", is a text line stating "Shorter times are more secure."  However, when I touch the word "Immediately", the drop down menu that previously appeared under Version 7.0, which provided a choice of Passcode lock times, no longer appears, so I cannot change the time settings for the Passcode lock function.
    Is the choice of time settings willfully no longer available, or is this a bug?  If a bug, is there a workaround?
    Thank you!!

    I found an answer, as I had the same issue.  And of course, like many things Apple, it's fairly simple.
    The issue arises when you have Touch ID enabled.  Once you disable Touch ID, you will then have choices of longer periods before a passcode is required.  Of course then you don't have Touch ID, but mine rarely works anyway.  My skin is too dry and it fails constantly.

    This was strange but has to do with how startup disk and nvram interact

    I think your problems were solvable and not that the Sonnet card and 5,1 is not bootable, in fact the 5,1 is easier, there are more supported cards.
    I have the 1,1 where the Sonnet Pro is recommended but for data only and are not bootable because of the 32-bit EFI firmware. NOT the 4,1 and 5,1. The 2008's are problem child and have a mix of PCIe 1.1 slots, first implementation of EFI64 that also has problems. Also the 4,1 has two PCIe 2.x slots 3 and 4 that share a controller but that simply limits bandwidth.
    I would have left the TRIM support and NVRAM changes in Yosemite to a separate thread if you wanted to focus on the Sonnet Tempo Pro support in Mac Pro 2010-12 5,1s.
    Also the make of SSD can vary and they also have their own firmware as do bootable controllers along with the EFI of the Mac, all of which have to work together.  Meaning it might be that Samsung 840 va 840 EVO vs 840 Pro will all be slightly different but my experience is Samsungs work well (as do others like Crucial with the proper firmware - and there was/is an issue with the firmware of the Samsung 840 but not with booting).
    The PCIe card gets seen and treated as external and therefore 'eject' but of course you can't when it is the system boot drive.
    One thing I found last week and meant to mention:  After installing or changing PCIe cards, RESET SMC made all the difference in the world with the long boot delay. Some PCIe cards will add a few seconds, system has to search the device tree which now shows another controller with multiple devices - and sometimes NVRAM and SMC are what I will call "dirty" and need to be rebuilt and reset.

  • How to set passcode lock expirey date

    Hello,
    I am having problems with the "passcode lock" on my iphone 4S that it only lasts 24 hours before it needs resetting. In the "passcode lock" function in General Settings I cannot select either "Turn passcode off" or "Erase Data" The Exchange account associated with the phone has no password limitation set, does anybody have any ideas?
    Thanks

  • HT4623 how to stop a software update?

    my phone is saying it doesn't reconigise my sim card from "simple mobile" i just want to stop the update!

    There is nothing to stop... it has already updated the iOS on the device.
    iOS is doing what it is supposed to do, activate using a valid SIM.
    Your device is carrier locked, either install a SIM from the carrier it is locked to or contact them to see what their conditions are for unlocking.

    If you forget your passcode, you must restore the iPhone software. You can use iCloud or iTunes to restore iPhone from a backup.
    Restore from an iCloud backup: Reset iPhone to erase all settings and information. Sign in to iCloud and choose Restore from a Backup in the Setup Assistant. See Reset on page 138 of manual.
    Restore from an iTunes backup: Connect  iPhone to the computer you normally sync with, select iPhone in the iTunes window, and click Restore in the Summary pane.
    OR
    You will need to place the Device into Recovery mode...
    And All Data will be erased...

  • How to stop screen lock in maverick

    My MacBook Pro running Maverick  sleeps even though I have set it to never sleep.
    I think this may be related to the fact that the computer requires a password to awaken the computer.
    This all means that if I am running a job that takes hours I can't leave my computer because once it sleeps it stops running the job (backing up files to the cloud).
    I would like to remove the requirement of enterring the password.
    I would like to control if and when the computer sleeps.
    Can anyone help with these?
    Thanks,

  • The passcode lock code at the iPhone 4 was broken into by a program from Internet. ( By connecting the phone to a PC that program tells the passcode) Does someone knows how to prevent unauthorized opening of iPhone? How to secure the passcode ?

    My daughter has an iPhone 4 secured with passcode lock. A visitor in their house took her unattended iPhone, connected to the PC, from a certain program got her pascode and did open her phone to go through her private messages. Does someone knows how to prevent this? How to secure the Phone from unauthorized opening?
    Thanks in advance for all suggestions!!!

    Hi igmusla,
    It seems someone has stolen your daughters phone there is an application called FindMyiPhone if she had location services on and the thief hasn't disabled it you can possibly track the phone down. Sadly you cannot stop the thief from gaining access to her phone and personal information. Please report your phone stolen to your local police station and call Apple aswell, they can possibly put a lock on your phone aswell as put it into a carrier block which prevents the thief from calling anyone or putting a new sim card in it.

  • HT1212 I took the passcode lock off of my iPhone 5 and now I can't get on to my iPad. It is asking for the passcode and when I use the one that was set up it locks me out. How can I get past this?

    I have the iPhone 5 and with the new sofware update it added a passcode lock. Same for the iPad. I removed the passcode lock from my iPhone and now I can access my iPad. It is still asking for the four digit passcode. I tried using the one that was orgingally programed and it disables it every time. How can I get past this? I have tried to do a restore and it still takes me back to the lock screen. Please help!

    Force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to 6 very closely.

  • How do I restore my ipod to factory settings, but I have a passcode lock, and my screen is broken so I can't type in my password when I connect to itunes?

    Okay so I have had my ipod 4th gen for almost 2 years buy the screen has fallen out of the back casing, (I bought it as refurbished) and I am trying to reset it to factory settings, so when I get a new one I can register my device on apps/games since some apps require that you can only register on one device, but I think the thing that connects to the screen is ripped so the screen won't turn on and I can't physically touch it. What I want to know is how can I restore it with me not being able to type in the password lock since the screen is broken?
    or is there a way to disable the passcode lock through the computer?

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

  • Touch screen stopped working. Is there anyway to force a full backup of the iPhone without typing in my passcode lock or is there anyway to force it to connect to a WiFi network so the phone can backup to iCloud??

    Hello all, I could use some help with my iPhone 4, I hope this is the best place to ask!
    The Problem:
    I want to do a full backup of my iphone to either itunes or to icloud. Unfortunately the iphone got wet and isn’t working properly. The phone turns on and still works, but the touch screen no longer works. I have a passcode lock on the phone so iTunes will not allow me to backup it up until I type in the passcode (which I cannot physically do). WiFi had been turned off before it got wet so it won’t connect to any known WiFi networks either to backup automatically to iCloud.
    What happened:
    I had been travelling for 6 months and went tubing on a river with my iphone in a dry bag. Unfortunately the dry bag failed and filled with water ruining my iphone.
    What I’d like to do:
    It’s an old phone and I was planning on buying a new iPhone anyway. I would love to do a full backup to either iCloud or to my computer so when I get a new iPhone I don’t lose anything. I’ve already connected it to my PC and downloaded all the photos and videos off the phone so at least I haven’t lost that, but I would like to be able to recover all the text messages, WhatsApp messages and notes I had created during my 6 months of travel.
    The last time it was backed up to my pc or to icloud was in April, so there are 6 months worth of very meaningful data I would love to keep to remind me of my travels!
    Is there anyway to force a full backup of the iPhone without typing in my passcode lock or is there anyway to force it to connect to a WiFi network so the phone can backup to iCloud??
    iTunes recognizes the phone just now and I tried upgrading the phone to iOS7 in the hopes that it would first backup and then upgrade. Unfortunately all that happened is the phone upgraded to iOS7, but it didn’t backup to iTunes. Now the phone is stuck at the iOS7 welcome screen and I can’t do anything else with it.
    Any ideas or tips would be welcome!
    NOTE: This is NOT a jailbroken iPhone.

    If there is no other way around this, is there anyway to completely wipe the phone then??
    The Apple store agreed to give me a new iPhone 4 as a warranty replacement for $150 (I travel a lot and I have a factory unlocked phone, so this is still worth it for me).  But before I trade it in, I would like to make sure all my data is backed up on the device first.
    When I try and restore the phone now on iTunes, it says I have to turn off Find My iPhone on the phone first before I can restore it.  Now since I can't use the screen I can't really do that.
    So how do I completely wipe the iPhone???
    Thanks!
