HT5467 What is the Passcode for Restrictions since the iOS 7 update?

I did not have a passcode on Restrictions before this update.  And my passcode for unlocking the iPad is still the same and works fine.  I've tried using this passcode on Restrictions and it does not work.  I've tried 0000.  I've tried every combination I could think of that might be the basic one that the system might have put in there.  I don't want to have to wipe my iPad and have to restore everything if I can help it.  Since the update put the code on it, I was hoping that Apple can chime in here and tell us what code they put on it.  This is an iPad 2.
Also Location Services is OFF and gray out since the update.  How do I get access to it to turn it back on?  (that is how I found out that Apple put on a restriction passcode...trying to get location services turned on so that "Find My iPad" will work again.
Thank you,
Cindy

You should always do a backup prior to an iOS update, and frequently thereafter.
The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings.
Follow the instructions in  iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.
 Cheers, Tom

  • What will happen if i exceeded in entering incorrect passcode for restriction

    what happens if you try to enter incorrect passcode for restrictions too may times

    No. You just will not be able to get into anything that you have restricted, but it shouldn't disable the iPad.
    Actually, I just thought of this. Look at this app.... iPhone Backup Extractor. You may be able to extract the Passcode with this.
    http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/
    Then look at this article. It talks about using a Mac, but it gives the basics on how to use the extractor to get the Passcode.

    Unfortunately, there is no workaround to your problems. You would need to restore your iPad in order to once again have full functionality.

  • Help!  Is there any way to undo a passcode for restrictions if I've stupidly forgotten it?

    I need help!  I put a passcode for Restrictions on my son's iPod Touch, and I've forgotten it!  He is unable to get to the App store for updates or to buy anything.  He is so upset with me!  Is there any way to get around this?  We are up to 8 failed attempts, and each time it blocks any more attempts to try for longer and longer time periods.  He has games saved that he'll kill me if he has to start over on, so going back to default is not an option.  Please help!

    If you are up to it see the following. It is complicated but does not required restoring as new.

  • What is the next software update for my Mac OS X v10.5.8? What do i need to to do?

    What is the next software update for my Mac OS X v10.5.8? What do i need to to do?

    10.5.8 is the last free update available for your system. If you wish to upgrade to newer versions of Mac OS X, you will first need to purchase and install a copy of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard is back on the online Apple Store, at least in some countries. In the US:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    If it's not listed on the web site of the Apple Store in your country, call the online Apple Store, they may still have copies of Snow Leopard available.
    Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard, you then will have the option to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion, if you wish to do so and your system will support it.
    Regards.

    No.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory. The 4G only has 256 MB
    I would not expect any more updates for the 4G

  • What is the total space Update Rollup 7 For Exchange 2010 SP3 (KB2961522) will take after installation?

    Quick question. 
    What is the total space Update Rollup 7 For Exchange 2010 SP3 (KB2961522) will take after installation?
    Hasan

    Hi
    Your question is a big vague. Extracting the rollup will use some space but you can delete the files afterwards.
    Are you concerned about space while installing? If you have adequate space it shouldnt be a problem.
    Hope this helps. Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.
    I am asking space after installation, it will definitely install some files so how much space extra space it needed in exchange directory drive.

  • What happened to Auto-Correct in the iOS 7 update & can it be fixed?

    I am sooo frustrated & I can't take it anymore!!!
    My keyboard has essentially taken on a mind of it's own since I did the iOS 7 update. And by the 'coded' messages I receive from family & friends, followed by "#%*+ed Auto-Correct!!!" I know I'm not the only one!
    I find it changes words that are spelled correctly & are grammatically sound into something different. It doesn't know what an apostrophe is anymore. It has no sense of humor 'cause it can't figure out how to lol without capitalizing or turning it into something else. (My sister Quoll'ed at me earlier!)
    What's goin' on & how can I get it back to the only sorta-sucky, but mostly funny stuff it did in iOS 6?
    Thanks.

    I've observed this too and have written to Apple feedback. Suggest everyone else do so as well.
    What's happening is they've attempted to implement an autocorrect system that doesn't just look at the current word but the current word and the previous word. In theory that's a great idea, as sometimes the correct spelling will be dependent on context. Mostly, though, its effects are too aggressive and I find I'm ending up with many more errors than under iOS 6 (and I'm fairly accurate on the iP*).
    The thing I specifically complained out – since it makes no sense at all – is the way iOS 7 autocorrect seems to hate commas!
    If I type a phrase like "the line, therefore" iOS 7 will attempt to turn "line," into some a word without punctuation, e.g. "lines" or "lined". Only after I've typed "therefore" will it offer me the possibility of returning to what I actually typed ("line,"). And if I'm in a rush and don't tap the [x] on the proposed "correction" in time then I'm stuck with it and have to go back and manually edit. (Or I don't notice and end up sending someone a complete nonsense of a sentence.)
    This kind of autocorrect is completely nuts. Especially on the iPhone, where you have to go to a different screen of the keyboard to type a comma, so you're hardly going to do it by accident! And on the iPad the corrections almost never involve adding letters that are physically close to the comma key on the keyboard, so again, you're hardly going to hit the comma key by accident if you want, for example, "lines".
    My recommendation to Apple was that auto-correct should always respect all punctuation. (Or there should be a setting we switch on for "respect punctuation".)
    And that autocorrect should focus on trying to correct the kinds of "real" errors that are made by tapping on adjacent keys instead of aggressively trying to predict what we're about to say and actually changing our words.
    In the meantime, I've set up a custom shortcut [,,] which resolves to [, ] – basically on the same principle as two spaces resolving to a period. When I remember to use it, it mostly works quite well at giving me commas that stay stuck.

  • TS1363 What can I do for an Ipod that won't update, won't allow you to eject it, and can't reset either?

    What can I do for an Ipod that won't update, won't allow you to eject it, and can't reset either? I can simply unplug it from my pc and after a while it runs down and works fine after a charge. Wanting to clear data and sell but nothing seems to work. The ipod was originally set up on a different computer and with a different I tunes account as well. Would that make any difference?

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