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...

  • 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:

  • I just got an iPhone 5s, and I restored from a previous back up and now I can't restore the phone without "turning off the find my iphone setting"?

    I just got an iPhone 5s, and I restored from a previous back up (mistake) and now I can't restore the phone to start again without "turning off the find my iphone setting" but it's using an old email address as the icloud login, which i don't have a password to / never used for an icloud account. I have gone and changed my settings to a different email on my icloud / apple ID but on my phone it won't let me change the email address for icloud, it's greyed over and keeps trying to verify?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • HT201303 It appeared that the seller didn't disconnect function to find my iPhone and now I can make nothing with phone.

    I bought iphone 5c phone on Ebay, the seller in the description specified that phone is completely cleared and ready to work. It appeared that the seller didn't disconnect function to find my iPhone and now I can make nothing with phone. I have an invoice about purchase, I can provide the page of the transaction and screenshots from phone.
    I appealed to the seller to remove this device from the iCloud at distance, but he at all doesn't wish me to understand and speaks only about phone return, and it categorically doesn't suit me now.

    I stand by statement that the iPhone is likely stolen
    Whoopsie!
    Another reason: You said he doesn't understand that find my iPhone is activated. If the phone was originally his, he would have known what it was since he had to turn on find my iPhone to begin with.
    Doens't mean they know what FindMyiPhone is or that they even activated it.
    Many (most?)  users simply click thru without reading anything and don't have a clue what they are clicking on.

    You need to use the credentials for the iCloud account that was used to turn on the Find my iPhone service.
    If you can't remember yours, you can recover it here: https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid
    If you've been walking around for 2 years with someone else's account set up for Find my iphone, then you'll have to get hold of that individual. If you can't, there is no way to bypass activation lock.

  • HT201210 I was in the middle of installing the new update using the wifi at a local restaurant when I lost the wifi signal and my iPhone shut down, and now I can't get into the phone. I only get the iTunes logo with the cable pic. What are my options now?

    Your only option is to connect your iPhone to your computer via USB (as the diagram indicates) and restore using iTunes.

  • I updated my iphone  to ios 6. now i can not charge my phone with any cable. it says charging do not support this accessory. what should i do now? can anyone help please!!!!!!!1

    i updated my iphone  to ios 6. now i can not charge my phone with any cable. it says charging do not support this accessory. what should i do now? can anyone help please!!!!!!!

    I upgraded my iPhone 4 last evening to iOS 6, the upgrade completed and the device was usable. Then in the morning I went to the device to check E-mail, Voice Messages, Test Messages, etc... and the phone was dead. I tried plugging the device into a charger (for a couple of hours) - still dead. Plugged into computer with iTunes, device not recognized or discovered, and iPhone was still dead... Took the iPhone into an Apple Store and the Technician looked it over for any visible signs of defect/malfunction, then performed various tasks to breathe life into the phone - nothing... His suggestion, at this point, was to replace the phone. He speculated that the iOS upgrade possibly corrupted the iPhone's charging firmware, and that this device was now a BRICK. Keep in mind that the phone and it's charging abilities were perfectly fine prior to the iOS Upgrade. I hate to go through the replacement hassle and the cost ($159.00) when the iOS upgrade caused the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!

  • I tried adding mobile accessibility and now i can't unlock my phone.  Can anyone help?

    I tried adding mobile accessibility and now i can't unlock my phone.  Can anyone help?

    From
    http://www.windowsphone.com/en-GB/how-to/wp8/basics/accessibility-on-my-phone
    Tap Restart phone.
    After  your has phone restarted, a message about the lock screen will be read  aloud. Tap the lock screen at any time to hear the time, date and  notifications read aloud. To unlock your phone, flick the screen up.   (If you have a password, tap any number key to hear that number read  aloud, then double-tap to enter the number as part of your password.)
    If this is the first time you've turned on Mobile Accessibility,  you'll be presented with a training session to help you quickly learn  how to use it. (You can return to the training at any time by  triple-tapping the screen to access the Quick Menu, then selecting Support > Touch Training.) Otherwise, the Mobile Accessibility home screen will load.
    Worse case a hard reset will clear it (you will of course erase the phone)

  • TS2846 I had my number changed and now I can't use my phone. Do I need to reprogram it? And how?

    I had my number changed and now I can't use my phone. Do I need to reprogram it? And how?

    You need to contact your carrier. If the carrier is GSM you need to get a new SIM from them. The easiest way is to take the phone to any of their retail stores and they can do it on the spot.
    If the carrier is Verizon or Sprint in the US just call their support number.

  • My Mac will not allow me to downlode the latest iTunes and now I can not connect my phone and computer. THis is very frustrating! HELP!!!

    My Mac will not allow me to downlode the latest iTunes and now I can not connect my phone and computer. THis is very frustrating! HELP!!!

    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then  "About This Mac".  Write down what it says about "version"and report that here.  Now continue to "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    Even my 12 year old Mac lets me download the newest iTunes.  Of course I can't install it but any computer can download the installer files so we need to know precisely what you are trying and what error messages you are seeing.
