I can't open my Iphone without a passcode which I don't have.    How do I get it?

I downloaded 8.1 onto my iphone and now it won't open without my passcode.   I don't have a passcode.   I got one when I started the download but it was only good for 3 hours.    How can I use my phone???

If it's in the Mail app then does tapping the 'file' not give a Done button at the top ?
If that doesn't work then try closing Mail completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    I can't backup my iPhone 5. It says I don't have enough storage. So I've deleted like 6-7 apps and its still says I don't have enough storage. And it also says the same thing when I want to buy new apps or music. Also my messages won't send; I have to turn my phone off and resend then just to they can send. I can't even take any pictures because it says I have no storage.(I currently have 1,658 photos and 72 videos by the way.) What can I do? I just my phone in late December. I didn't think it would act up this bad before I even had it for a year. Please help.

    Your phone needs more storage, buying storage on iCloud.com doesn't change that.
    Delete some of the stuff off of your phone, it's full.

  • HT2534 Can't open a Mac App Store account without credit card (which I don't have), what to do?

    I tried opening a new account in the App Store since I got this new 5s and apparently can't open an account without credit card
    What to do? Need help immediately

    You'll need to open an account in the iTunes Store via the instructions in the article from which you came, getting a free iOS app. You then should be able to get free apps from the Mac App Store. Note that the instructions apply only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID without providing a payment method.

  • I can't open My Documents. My mac says I don't have the permissions

    I am running mavericks on a Imac early 2008.
    But suddenly my documents were away out of my finder dock.
    I founded my documents folder in user/(username)/documents.
    The only problem is I can't open it. Its says I dont have the permissions for it.
    Please help me I have importent conntent in my documents.
    (sorry for my bad englisch)

    I was looking for the Permissions section which you have collapsed. Expand "Delen en bevoegdheden:" (Sharing & Permissions) and repost.
    Anyway your Username should be in the list and be set to Read & Write. _spotlight set to Read only and everyone set to No Access.
    If your username isn't in the list and or not set to Read & Write click the Lock icon, type in your Admin password, Add your Username to the list and or set the permissions to Read & Write for your Username.

  • How can i make my iphone a wifi hotspot when i don't have wifi in the first place?

    hello all
    i need a wifi hotspot for my iphone but i don't have a way to conect to the internet at my house.
    can i get some help?

    It's not clear from your post what you're actually trying to accomplish. Using your phone as a WiFi hotspot means that you are using the phone's cellular data connection to create a WiFI network for other devices to connect to. Is that what you're trying to do? If so, contact your carrier and have the feature added to your account.
    If you're trying to get broadband internet at your house so that you can connect to your phone to a WiFi network and avoid using cellular data, you'll have to find an internet service provider in your area and arrange for service with them.
    Best of luck.

  • HT1414 How do you even get the iPad to show up in iTunes if it is locked?  It keeps saying that it can't open the device without the passcode... I don't understand how I am suppose to get into iTunes to fix it when the problem is that I don't know the pas

    Can anyone please help?  Thank you!

    You need to use recovery mode and this explains how to do it. You will lose everything on the iPad and will have to either sync with iTunes to get all of your content back or download it all again using the purchased tabs in the iStores on the iPad.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Or you can follow these Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

  • TS1398 Can't access without a password which I don't have.  Now what?

    Something I have apparently done has resulted in a requirement for a passwword in order to use wi-fi.  Previously it worked fine.   What can I do now?

    Your wifi network your connecting to is secured. It's not the iPad. It's your router(if your network) or someone put a password on, if its a shared like apt building or something. If its your wifi network, I'd check on how to access your router or reset it to factory fault settings(most by holding reset button with pin for 30 sec). Search how to access it, by googling your router make and model.

  • HT202157 I have just went to use my airplay and it's now asking for a passcode which I don't have what can I do

    I have just went to use my airplay and my airplay is asking for an apple passcode which I didn't set any suggestions

    In the Airplay settings section on AppleTV there should be an option to enable/disable Airplay a password - basically used to stop someone hijacking someone else's AppleTV display unless they know the code.

  • How can i open my iphone 4s when i have forgotten my passcode ? without deleting everything on it

    how can i open my iphone 4s when i have forgotten my passcode ? without deleting everything on it

    Put it in recovery mode to restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screenand iOS: Recovery mode
    If you have previously synced your device with iTunes
    You may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device.
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
    Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
    When the backup is complete, select Restore.
    When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
    If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore 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.

  • Can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod

    can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod?

    The SIM card is not required to use an iPhone as an iPod or to be used for anything else besides cell phone related services.
    For a no longer activated iPhone, the no longer activated SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated must be inserted in the iPhone in order to install an iOS update and for no other reason.
