I am trying to restore my iphone because I disabled phone by forgetting the passcode. I have followed all instructions I found on line but it is telling me I have to turn something off on the phone but I can't since I don't know the passcode. Help

I need help. I forgot my passcode and have disabled my phone.
Trying to restore but it is not allowing me to without turning off find
my iphone on the phone. I can't do that because I need the passcode.
What do I do?

That is where I am trying to restore from but it keeps telling me I have to turn off "find my iphone" on the phone but I can't do that since I don't know the passcode..

I want to prevent MyDay from starting up when I switch on. I have followed all instructions for doing this, but to no effect. I have unlocked and relocked.

I use an Macbook from 2006 with OS X 10.7.5
MyDay starts up every time I switch on. I don't use it, so want to remove it from the list of programs which start automatically. I have followed all instructions for doing this, and have of course unlocked and relocked the relevant page in Systems Preferences, but the instruction never 'sticks', and MyDay still starts every time. Anyone know what to do?

Check StartupItems...
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/StartupItems
Click Go. If you see any reference to MyDay, delete it. That does not delete the app Just keeps it from launching when you startup your Mac.
Just to be sure, you checked System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items ??
Unlocking or locking the padlock icon only prevents other users from changing your preferences.

TS1398 I have followed all instructions and still can not connect to my WiFi. We have 3 other devices in the house that connect automatically. Help.

I have followed all of the suggestions to troubleshoot the inability to connect to the WiFi in my home. We have 3 other Apple devices that connect automatically. What do I do next?

in Settings>WiFi - you've got it turned on right ?
Do you see your network in the list "Choose a Network" ?

Why can I download Gmail to my mac's mail - but I can not send? I have followed all instructions I can find but it still won't send. Any thoughts?

I have a strong desire to use the native apps on my Mac for mail and calendar - but my new position is using Gmail.
I can send mail and calendar works fine - but I can not send mail. I have followed all the directions and still can't see to get it to work.
Is there a step I am missing? Has anyone else successfully tackled this issue?
Thanks
Bill

Are there any error messages to give us a clue?
There is no 'issue', millions of people use Gmail with a Mac, they send mail so the 'issue' is with your machine so we'll concentrate on that. Post the SMTP settings that are in use for this account, post the authentication method as well, tell me whether you have activated Google's '2 Factor' authentication method if you have.

HT201412 I have followed all instructions to set up email and i am receiving fine but cannot send

I followed all instructions to set up email and I am receiving fine but cannot send keep getting message stating username or password incorrect?

The sending of email is handled by the SMTP server. Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Go to the account in question and check the SMTP server settings. In some places in the mail app, it says the username and password are optional. In actuality, it really isn't. If you cannot modify the settings and get it to work, then delete the account entirely and set it back up again, making sure to get the username and password correct in all areas.

TS1368 Have followed all instructions - but still cannot connect to itunes

I dont know what to do - I have done everything in all of the instructions on how to connect to itunes....but to no avail. This is arecent problem. It just started happening to me - on my Mac Pro.
I have spoken to Comcast, I have rest my Network, I have deleted files, I have updated to the latest version, reset my password, and several other things. I am not sure why Apple doesnt want me to connect.
Seems like I am asked to update itunes every week but they cannot figure out how to connect me to the itunes store. Sigh.
I support Apple - but I am happy to start to buy music on Amazon.com if Apple cannot figure this one out. Seems like miloipns of others have this same problem and nothing happens.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

I have transfered my music to a new computer. I have a iPhone 4S 64g and I have a lot of music. I believed i have followed all instructions to do this. I have even unistalled itunes and reinstalled. Synching to new computer not responding well

Can anyone provide more specific info when transferring iTunes to new computer. i have completed all steps including the ones ive seen on the forums since others have had same issue. Uninstall iTunes. Reinstall iTunes. Check synch all music uncheck synch all music...When I try to sync with new computer it transfers music, some go into downloaded songs only, if i connect to old computer its better, and then there is the new cloud! I am regretting changing computers but it was time. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I just want my iPhone 4S 64g to synch correctly and completely.

It is probably best to start over. These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

Would like to change my security questions since i don't know the answers

i recently added a new gmail address, changed ITunes e-mail to new one, made a new password. have been getting prompts via the old address, but it will not accept the old password associated with that e-mail. can't get in. can't figure out how to explain this to ITunes. i think i have made progress, but when making changes on my account details, saw that the security questions do not instantly call up answers i know. want to change my security questions. HOW?

iCloud is insisting i sign in under my old id but i added that id to the new id under the new password: So irritating that it won't sync them between my macbook and my ipad!

HT1212 I have followed all the instructions listed above, but I have not been successful with unlocking my iPod. It is currently disabled due to a forgotten passcode. Are there any additional options that I have to unlock my iPod touch?

Are there other alternatives to unlock my iPod touch and reset my passcode? I have followed all instructions posted and my iPod is still disabled. Can anyone provide recommendations on this matter?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
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.

HT201210 during a software update on my ipad it crashed. I can no longer see it in itunes. and the picture on the ipad shows the cord and the itunes icon. I have attempted to restore following all instructions and nothing helps. any advice?

I attached Ipad to my computer to sync. I received a message indicating there was a new version of the software. During the update, the Ipad crashed. The screen on the ipad is showing the iTunes icon and the USB cord. The ipad no longer shows up in my devices. I have followed all instructions online to reset the ipad,and I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it. No change. The same screen appears on the ipad within seconds of turning it on.

Same here. And iTunes doesnt recognize the ipad anymore, even though it works fine with my iphone. Plugged the ipad into my other laptop, i get the recovery mode message, but nothing works.
Tried calling apple support, but since my 90 days of free phone service is past, those morons want me to buy applecare. Yea, ill pass.
