I forget the lock code and now I can not access the iphone. What I can do?

I forget the lock code and now I can not access the iphone. I try to restore it, but ask me to go to iphone settings to which I have no access and I can not download the latest version of iOS to do it.
Thanks!

If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod), however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password to activate the device after restoring:

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

I took pictures on my iphone when it was on the lock screen and now I can't view the pictures in all of my photos. How do I view them?

If you go to the Photos app, is there content in the Photo Library? These would be pictures that are synced to the phone from the computer. Photos in the camera roll are those that you take with the phone, or save from email, MMS on the phone. What type of pictures are you trying to get rid of? If you are trying to get rid of the synced photos, you need to connect to iTunes, select the iPhone in the device pane, then go to the Photo tab in iTunes and remove the check mark by sync.

I have a MacBook in Japan.

You will need to try to restore your iDevice from the same computer that you most recently synced to.
Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If you can't do the restore then you will need to try Recovery Mode.

TS1292 I received a gift card and when I typed in the code, it accepted the incorrect code and now I can't redeem or get ahold of Apple to assist

I tried using my iTunes gift card and put in the code and the serial number and they were accepted but before I typed it in again to make a purchase, I realized that the first letter is the code wasn't showing up and I had to put in under a light to see there was a ltter. When I tried putting in the new code it said it had lready been redeemed, though it has never been used. I can't get a hold of customer support and haven't had this happen before. Any suggestions?

See if this page helps : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1292 - there is info towards the bottom of the page for how to contact iTunes support.

Acrobat 9 stopped working, demanded uninstall/reinstall, uninstall locked up and now I can't do anything

I have used Acrobat 9 Standard for years. It recently stopped working. When I start it, I get a message that I must uninstall/reinstall. A repair attempt failed to fix the problem, so I started an uninstall. That locked up and I had to shut it down using Task manager. Now I cannot do the install because it says the uninstall is running. I am running Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit on a Toshiba Satellite laptop. Any help would be appreciated.

To stop the install, you will have to reboot. Then run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html and remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder. Reboot again and you should be able to reinstall. The updates have to be obtained from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/. The updates web site only goes back to Version X.

I forgot my iPhone pass code and now I can't backup my phone

Last night I changed my pass code due to privacy reasons. Then when I went to put it in today it didn't work. I tried and waited patiently whilst it was disabled. Then I accidentally disabled it again and now it must be connected to iTunes. I don't mind having to restore it but I want to ensure I don't lose my photos. When plugged in to iTunes it tells me that for it to access it to respond from iPhone, which for obvious reasons I can't do. So I need some help! Please I am a teenage girl who basically lives on her iPhone so pleaseeeee help!

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

Mail locked up and now it will not close or allow me to reboot or shut down. Any ideas? Thanks

My mail has locked up and I can't reboot or shut down the computer. Also in mail the left click does not work; it is just stuck. Any ideas? Thanks

BTW - there is also the Force Quit option in the Apple menu dropdown. Wasn't sure if you could select menu bar options, so gave you the keystroke shortcut.
Cheers,

Thunderbird erased many important, random emails from gmail and now they are not even on thunderbird. what do I do? It's been over 30 days.

I wanted to print all the emails from a gmail label. My googling suggested that Thunderbird would do this. I didn't see any warnings about Gmail's stealth setting that it would ERASE me emails from the server, but it did. And now Thunderbird has no emails in it, leaving me with years of lost work and pictures. It has been over 30 days since this happened, as I didn't realize it had happen as, oddly, it didn't erase all of the emails, just some (likely because Thunderbird crashed every time I tried to use it and didn't do a full pull of my gmail e-mails, but kept telling me it was out of space which it was not as I have a huge drive).
Does anyone have a suggestion regarding where I can find my e-mails? I tried to do a restore on my backup drive (where I had downloaded and used thunderbird) but it says there are no earlier versions. I am in the process of begging gmail to help me, but I don't know if they can.

Well, the only thing you can do is go to Gmail in a web browser and hope your e-mails are still on the server. If they were deleted there, then there really isn't a way to get them back. :(

Itunes recently updated on my PC and now it will not recognize my iPhone. How do I get it to recognize so I can sync?

I updated iTunes this morning and afterwards I went to sync my iPhone and iTunes will not recognize the iPhone. The computer will, but iTunes will not. How do I get iTunes to recognize the iPhone so I can sync. I do have the phone connected to the computer with the cable.

Going to venture a guess your Apple Mobile Device service isn't started.

I updated itunes64 (W7) and now it does not see my iphone 4

Downloaded Itunes 10.2 and ran the update. Immediatley after, Itunes no longer recognised the iphone, or my Ipad although it appears in windows.
- It seems to hang for a long time before it decides it does not see it. I have spent hours on this and have tried:
1.) Uninstalling and reinstalling all Iphone, Itunes and Quicktime files and associated files in the user/application data folders
2.) Have been through the registry and deleted all keys associated with apple, itunes, quicktime (took forever)
3.) have deleted any file created by Apple Corporation in sys32 sysWOW64.
4.) have deleted the apple folders in my music.

Downloaded new iTunes and now it will not recognize my iPhone or iPad

I just installed the latest version of iTunes yesterday. Now it will not recognize neither my iPhone nor my iPad. Is there a fix coming for this?? I can see from the comments that numerous other folks are having the exact same issue.
