Go elsewhere:
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.
Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

Sounds like you encrypted your iPhone backup, & if so it's asking for the encrypted backup password. Do you have a company Exchange account on your phone?

Backed up my old phone to my computer. trying to sync new phone and retrieve old info. It is asking for a password. I never gave it one. How do I get to my stuff????

backed up my old i-phone 3 to my computer. tried to sync new i-phone 4S to computer to restore info. It is asking for a password. I never assigned one. How do I get to my info????

iTunes will recognize your new phone as a different device from your old phone. Do you have any information on your new phone that you want to save? Restoring to the backup of your old phone will overwrite your data and settings with those of your old phone. If you want to save any data on your new phone, you'll need to do this first. After doing so, connect it to iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Restore from Backup, when prompted, selecte the backup of your old phone to restore from.

I get asked for a password when i did not yet set one (after a system reset for the same problem)

I am getting asked for a password when i have yet to set one. I have already done a reset and am still getting prompted for a password, which I do not know.

If you can't remember the Restrictions passcode you have to either:
- Restore the iPod from a backup that does not have the passcode, or
- Restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software

I updated my iPad to 8.0.2 and now I'm stuck in waiting when I try to update my apps. How can I fix this?

I updated my iPad to 8.0.2 and now I'm stuck in waitiIng when trying to update apps. hiw do I fix this?

I Have posted this boilerplate over and over again here. Hopefully something in here will help fix your "waiting" apps issue.
1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
2. Reboot 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.
3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first.
4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. Apps may also be able to be deleted in Settings>General>Usage>Storage if you cannot get the X to pop up on the icon.
6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.

TS3274 My Air Ipad keeps switching to voice-over, it will not allow me to enter my password. It keeps saying that I've entered the wrong password. It's asking for a password of zero value. How can I correct this.

My Air Ipad keeps switching to voice-over, and it will not allow me to enter my password. It keeps saying that I've entered the wrong password. It's asking for a password of zero value. When I enter my personal password that I created, it say it the wrong password, then it say try again in 5 minutes and shuts itself down. Is anyone else having this issue and how can I fix it?

Hello SharonLo
Your best bet would be to restore your iPad if it is not accepting your passcode. Check out the article below to walk you putting your iPad into recovery mode and using iTunes to restore it.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
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 shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

I want to get my parents setup with an imac and iPad. They are elderly and we live in different countries. I want to know what solution exists so I can be the remote administrator to maintain and keep them up and running .. I dont want anything fancy.

I would like to setup my eldery parents with an imac and ipad which I know will greatly help them in their daily life. The technology they love to play with whenever I visit, but they can never keep anything running or sync'ed unless I am around. Medical and other issues make this a real challenge for them. Unfortunately, I live in a different country and see them maybe once per year. I'm surrounded my apple products but never tried remote administration and wondered what I would need (software and hardware) to make this noble venture sucessful. Anyone out there has some experience or recommendations? I'm looking for something that is simple and reliable to implement ...

JokerGirl,
This is Scott J, I work for Intel and wanted to try and help you out. Sorry to hear about your current PC and your knee!
I agree with the bigger screen. I have the Samsung ATIV Smart PC with a screen 11.6" which is great to watch shows/movies! anything bigger is almost too big for a tablet (personal opinion).
Yes, most if not all tablets will have speakers and a headphone jack
You can watch YouTube
Only certain models have keyboards, you will want to specify this when making a purchase. Note: most keyboards are sold separately.
Covers are usually pretty easy to come buy, as well as screen protectors (clear plastic that covers and protects your screen from scratches, etc.)
Depending on the Operating System (Windows, Android, etc.) you will have access to an app store where you can buy and download content. Alternatively you can access your favorite sites to read news, get books, magazines, etc.
Hooking things to your tablet - different tablets will have different ports (USB, HDMI, etc.) Question to ask prior to making a purchase as some do not have ports (iPad). Back to my Samsung, I have several ports and do hook it to my TV
Tablets can run anywhere from $150-$1,000. The mid-range $400-$700 should fulfill all of your needs above and more!
Here's an article that might help you narrow down your search: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/gadgets/high-tech-gadgets/5-tips-for-choosing-the-right-tablet....
Happy Holidays!

HT4946 I accidently backed up my I Pad 2 to my computer and when trying to restore it, it asks for a password that I never set.

I connected my iPad 2 to my Windows 7 computer through iTunes. At this moment it began to back up without me realising. After I was finished transferring a movie, I have discovered that all my music has disappeared. Thanks in advance.

If you do not know the password for the encryption, the backup cannot be used.
Backing up the device has absolutely nothing to do with having media on the device. Backups have never included the media on the device.

HT5622 New Ipad setup has not asked for a password just an Apple ID says ID is already being used reset forgotten passsword. But hasn't asked for a password?

Setting up new Ipad and it asked for Apple ID but no password. Next screen says ID is being used. Reset password? Why? How do I go on with setup?

You do not have to enter an Apple ID in order to set up an iPad. You can do that after the device has been activated. Can you back out of the setting and remove the Apple ID then move forward and deal with it after the iPad is activated?

I dropped my iPhone 3G and now there is a white screen that will not go away.. what can I do to fix this?

Okay so I dropped my iPhone 3G today and ever since it has been stuck on this white screen that has stripes on it. I have tried holding the home button with the up volume and the power button for a while and that didn't work. I also tried just the home button and the power button. I also tried taking it apart to see if something was loose but nothing was. PLEASE HELP I don't want to get rid of my iphone!

Applecare+ for iPhone covers two instances of accidental damage for a fee of £49 per claim (in the UK).

If you don't have Applecare you can usually get a refurbished unit from an Apple Retail Store cut price - though they may not have any 3 models in stock and you may be 'forced' to upgrade to a 3GS.

My Ipad dropped off the sofa and now I cannot get the screen to appear - it sometimes shows up bright yellow and green. What can I do to reset? or whatever?

I cannot get the screen to appear - can see if it's on or off. There are times when the screen is bright bright green and yellow then disappears. Can I reset it? if so how?

It will cost you approximately US$219.00 to US$299.00 depending on the model.
Apple will replace the entire iPad; they don't repair.

HT4623 I have a new handset as my previous one was damaged. With regards to backing everything which option do I choose when backing up, set up as a new iphone or, restore from this backup iphone?

I have a new hanset as my previous one ws damaged and everything was lost. When backing up which option should I use "set up as a new iphone or, restore from this , back up Jo's iphone"..
Thanks.

You may do whatever you like.
If you want to set it up using the backup of your old iphone then choose that.
If you do not then choose as new.
