  • My daughter locked herself out of her ipod.  She can't remember the password and now we are locked out.  How can I get back in or restore it after she forgot her password?

    My daughter forgot her password on her iphone and we cant get it unlocked.  Is there a way to bypass her password or restore the phone so she can use it again?

    Did this back along to mine. Plug it into itunes on your pc (or Mac) and click on the ipod icon on the left hand side. When the device options come up on the main screen, click on restore. Follow the steps and it should restore to factory settings. If you had icloud activated on the ipod all previous purchases should be in the cloud and ready to download onto the ipod afte rit has been restored to factory settings, otherwise you'll have to download them all again. Hope it helped.

  • HT1212 my iphone screen is nonresponsive, not allowing me to enter my passcode.  I need to back up the phone so i can transfer the sim card to the new phone i bought and transfer the data.  ITunes won't recognize my device unless I unlock the home screen

    my iphon screen is unresponsive due to broken glass.  I need to back up via itunes but the phone doesn't allow me to ente my pass code.  Itunes says it can't recognize the phone unless it is unlocked.  Anyway to unlock it from the computer?

    Sorry you can't unlock it from the computer.  As you already know you need to enter your passcode.

  • I have been using my usb as my backup for time machine and now I want to unlock it and use it as a normal usb. How can I do this?

    I am having trouble switching my usb from a backup for my time machine to a normal usb for my files.

    Have you reformatted the drive?
    Just go to Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities folder), select the drive and erase it, formatting it as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition. You may want to change the name of the drive when you erase it.
    Have you tried that?

  • My phone was dropped by my baby and now it has lines on it and I cant unlock the home screen. Please help

    My phone was dropped this morning by my toddler. It now has vertical lines across part of the screen and when I try to swipe the phone open nothing happens. Any suggestions

    Some Apple stores are able to replace the screen on the iPhone 5, but they need to test it to be sure there are no other things wrong after the drop.  Take it to an Apple store genius bar and see what they can find and what they say to do with it.

  • Razr all of a sudden requires a pin to unlock the phone...

    All of a sudden, today, my phone is requiring a PIN to unlock the phone.  I cannot seem to find out how to deactivate this. I went into settings/location and security settings. and the "screen unlock secuirty" doesnt seem to allow to deactivate it.  Anyone know how to deactivate it?
    Thanks, Lisa

    Thanks for all your comments.  The first time it asked for me to create a pin number...I did (not really knowing it would be to unlock my phone).  Then when I tried to deactivate the locking system, it wouldnt let me.  The "Unlock" button was greyed out.  I took the phone to the verizon store and they figured it out for me.    Are you ready for this?????? Since I have my work email linked to my phone.  My work server made all employees automatically use pin numbers to unlock their phones, (if they access work emails from their phone, which I do).  Imagine that!!

  • My daughter forgot her 4 digit passcode to unlock her ipod; what do we do?

    My daughter forgot her 4 digit passcode that unlocks her IPod; what do we do to get in again?

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    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: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    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 iPod backup that iTunes makes.

  • HT201363 my ipad has been disabled due to one of my household trying the 4 digit pin to unlock it ..they obviously got it wrong..i have plugged ipad into myitunes on my laptop and it is still disabled..how do i re enable it ?

    my ipad mini has been disabled due to one of my household trying the 4 digit pin to unlock it..they obviously got it wrong...i have plugged into my itunes as requested on screen into my laptop but it is still disabled ..what do i do to unlock and re enable??

    Hey ade17768,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines what to do if your device is disabled:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
    1. Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes asks 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, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    2. If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
    3. When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
    4. When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
    5. Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • HT1212 i just bought an ipad air ... what's the default 4 digit code to unlock the ipad? i never set one on this device since it's brand new

    i just bought an ipad air ... what's the default 4 digit code to unlock the ipad? i had not had a chance to reset it yet

    There's no default 4 digit code.
    You need to force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to 6 very closely.

  • My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod has locked her out and says disabled connect to itunes.  The computer which this ipod was synced has crashed.  How can I fix this?

    My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod has locked her out ir says disabled connect to itunes.  The computer she last synced to has crashed.  How can I unlock this ipod? 

    The device will have to be restored but without the last computer it was synced to, that's not a possibility.
    Take the iPod to an Apple store or Apple certified repair shop.
    You will need a computer in order to sync, restore, and update the iPod in the future.
    "If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it."
