I can't reset my iphone with forgotten passcode and apple id password

everytime i hard reset my iphone, it keeps on saying that "photos cannot be imported because your iphone is locked with passcode", it always stops in 17minutes remaining.. please help me

Good day mycradle,
If your iPhone is locked with a passcode and you do not remember what it is, you can erase the iPhone to regain its use. Note that any data that is not backed up will be lost. See this article -
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Safe computing,

  • HT1212 How can i reset my iphone 4s if i forgot my restriction passcode and apple id password and security question answer

    Hello guys..
    How can i reset my iphone 4s IF i forgot my restriction passcode, and apple id password AND security question answer?..
    AND I also forgot the email that i used to create the apple id.. Thats why i cant reset my password using the "email authentication"...
    PLEASE HELP.. Thanks... I cant use my iphone properly.. im stock with my OLD Apple id..

    Its simple - if you honestly cannot remember a single piece of security information associated with the account, or even the name of the AppleID itself, the only possability of help is to call Apple and ask them if there is anything they can do.  There is nothing anyone here or elsewhere can possible do to help you.
    Apple offers several means of ensuring you can recover an account or AppleID, but if you cannot remember a single one of those security features, then only Apple can, if at all possible, help you and only then if you pick up a telephone and talk to them.
    The strong odds are that even Apple will not help you.  I know that with the two step verification option, if you cannot at least remember two of the three security features used with that system, they will tell you the account is simply lost to your for good.  They can only be help responsible for helping you recover information up to a point - at some point, it all comes down to you remebering at least some of your own information.

    can you activate an iphone with one sim, and than once it is activated use it with another sim?

    It could be the activation server is unavailable right now, however have you or anyone else ever used that computer to jailbreak or hack another phone? That can have an affect on the hosts file. You can check this regarding information on the hosts file or security software problems.
    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

    This error occurs when iTunes is unable to reach gs.apple.com in a timely fashion. Follow the steps below in Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com.

  • Can I use my iPhone with my Mac and PC's iTunes?

    Can I use my iPhone with my Mac and PC's iTunes interchangeably?
    Will it erase all my songs?
    I am assuming since both versions of iTunes (Mac and PC) are registered under my email it's okay--- would that be right?
    I don't want to have to put back each song again
    thanks in advance!

    With the iPhone, you can sync all iTunes content with only one computer. Trying to sync iTunes content with a second computer will result in iTunes erasing the content from the first computer. However, non-itunes content such as contacts, calendars, mail settings, notes, etc. (anything in the Info pane) can be synced from another computer.

  • Can I sync my iPhone with a Mac and a PC?

    I have many contacts in Outlook on my corp computer, but all my pictures and iTunes on my Mac. Can I sync to both and only synch for Contacts on my PC and the rest on my Mac? If not, then I have to transfer all my Outlook contacts to my Mac Address book, right? Thanks.

    Yes you can by not automatically syncing the iPhone with iTunes on each computer when connected and with only sync checked items selected for iTunes preferences on each computer.
    Select and deselect the items you wanted synced with iTunes on each computer.

  • How can I stop my iphone 5 from asking for Apple ID Password constantly?

    I've had this problem ongoing for awhile now and it's starting to drive me nuts.
    A few months back I was using an app where you could purchase in-game points which would come through your apple ID. I purchased the points and they never arrived, but it's like my phone is constantly now trying to buy the points over and over. Randomly even when the app is closed I'll be asked for my Apple ID password, even if the app is deleted from my phone. If I enter my password it'll go away for a little while and then try again later. So I figure it is just continually trying to make the purchase and fails each time.
    I've contacted the support for the app and they never reply to any support email questions, I've looked around online and similar problems seem to be fixed by people looking at pending downloads sitting in itunes on their PC, but there is nothing pending at all. I've changed my Apple ID password. I've made sure it was synced with my phone, I've cleared it from my phone and re set it up again ... nothing seems to work.I even reset my phone entirely and it continues to ask .. it's like the problem is linked more with my apple ID rather than the phone itself. But I'm out of ideas of how to stop it.
    Any suggestions? It's incredibly frustrating!

    Turn the account off in settings.

    I forgot my iCloud password, recovery email and security questions, How can I activate or unlink the Apple ID that was used to set up my iPhone? Please help me with this issue. Thank you.

    You need to enter the password for the old Apple ID on the phone when it asks.

  • I have recently found an iphone with a passcode and i need to know if there is anyway to find out who it belongs to, please help.

    i have found this iphone 4 down the local pub and i have had it in my possession for almost a month now and none has come to claim it, is there anyway to find out who it belongs to or if i could find out stuff about them like maybe a home contact but i dont want to mess around bypassing the passcode incase it removes data, what can i do to find out who it belongs to ?

    The only way for you to get past the passcode would be to restore the phone as a new device in iTunes, thus erasing all data on the phone. Unfortunately, this is the only way to get into the phone, but any owner info will be gone. However, you will be able to see the phone's IMEI number, & with that you can contact various carriers to see if the phone was reported lost or stolen. The carrier won't tell you who the owner is, but they will be able to contact the owner.

  • Can I use Airport Express with Comcast router and Apple TV?

    I want to connect my iPod Touch (version 8.1.2) to a home stereo wirelessly.  I am considering getting an AE Base Station.  I have a Mac mini running OSX 10.9.5 connected wirelessly using a Comcast router.  I also have an Apple TV, which I have not yet connected to my TV.  Here are some questions.
    Are there any problems with doing this.  In particular, can I continue to use the Comcast router?
    Also, I have seen some comments saying that the cable modem slowed down when AE was added.  Is that true?  Thanks,
    Owen

    The stereo doesn't have wireless (or bluetooth).
    My understanding is that the iPod Touch has a built-in airplay transmitter.
    If so,  connecting the AE Base Station to my stereo would allow sending music from my iPod to my stereo.
    Is that correct?  Thanks.

  • IPhone flicks between passcode and apple logo screen

    When i turn on my iphone i'm taken to the enter passcode screen for about a second before the apple logo appears (the same as the startup screen, but with the loading wheel below it). As i press the screen or home button, it flicks between theses two displays. The phone also gets very hot after about 10 minutes of this. Strange thing is, the phone works when connected to my docking station. I tried the usual reset (home screen + screen lock for 15 secs) but afterwards my Macbook doesn't recognise it. I also tried selecting reset from the settings menu, but stupidly i've set a restrictions passcode that i can't remember. Since apple won't help me over the phone, even though this is a blatant fault with their product, has anyone here experienced something similar? Please help!

    Did you try to connect in recovery mode and restore, as explained in this article?

  • How can I reset my iPhone 4 with a broken lock button?

    The screen on my iPhone 4 went black but all the sonds are still working. I know resetting the phone would fix it, but my lock button is broken. Is there another way to reset my phone? I have a MacBook Air, so I'm sure there's a way to do it through that, I'm just not sure how. Help please!!!

  • I lost my keycode and can`t reset my iphone 4

    please, i can not reset my iphone because i  lost the key code

    If you have forgotten your lockscreen password, connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

  • How can I unlock my iphone with a black screen to back up to itunes?

    How can I unlock my iphone with a black screen to back up to itunes?

    Reset the phone:  Press both the home and on/off buttons for AT LEAST 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.  (No data loss)
    If no response, connect to AC adaptor, charge for at least 30 minutes and repeat the reset if needed
    If still no response, there is a hardware failure that needs evaluation by Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.
