I forgot my passcode. and i need to restore my iphone 4 in order to reset the passcode. But I haven't backed up to icloud recently and REALLY cant lose my 1000 photos, contacts, ect. How to i backup before having to reset every thing?

You can't. If there was a way to get into the phone and backup data without a passcode, what would be the purpose of the passcode?
Either think harder, or prepare to lose all your data.

Then there's nothing you can do. Only the previous owner can help you. They must either provide the ID and password, or erase the phone and remove it from their account as explained in the article you were reading. There's no way around this.

HT1212 hello i forgot my passcode and i need to restore my iphone with out loosing its data can u please help me

can u please say me how to restore my iphone wen i forgot my pass code with out loosing its data

If you have not had a backup of the data before, you need to check this support document you linked here from about removing the passcode. Without a current backup, you are going to lose data.

I wanted to restore my iphone beacause i've forgotten the passcode but it is asking me to update my software even though my iphone is up to date. and in the end , the update is showing error.

hello. i am having hard time with my iphone 4s. actually, i did set my passcode using the tamil keyboard. my passcode was 'ka' and 'lai'. there's no such alphabet in the keyboard. in order to get "lai" we've to tap "la" and "i". so, it will transform into "lai". i did this in my settings. and when i locked the phone and tapped the word "ka', "la" and "i', this time the two alphabets are not transforming into "lai". it keep remains as two different alphabets. so, i couldn't unlock my iphone 4s. then, i decided to factory reset it via itunes. but, there's a problem again. when i tapped the restore button it is asking me to update iphone software even though it is up to date. and yet when i clicked the download button, it will start the downloading process but after sometime there will be an error in downloading. so, until now i couldn't unlock my iphone. i hope there will a reply as soon as possible.

How do I view and manage certain files that I have stored in iCloud? I know that I can delete an entire backup, but is it possible to delete certain photos/contacts/notes etc. from that backup?

If you are now in the UK then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they can remove the balance from your account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

When I create a photo stream in ios6, everyone who is logged in to my iCloud account can see and edit my stream (on their iPhones only). Not just the email addressees that I sent the photo stream link to. Is that how photo stream security is meant to work

When I create a photo stream in ios6, everyone who is logged in to my iCloud account can see and edit my stream (on their iPhones only). Not just the email addressees that I sent the photo stream link to. Is that how photo stream security is meant to work? Is so it means my whole family can see any photo stream I set up. Hence no security? Can't share the pics with the wife then :(

The whole idea to an icloud account is that one user uses it and has all their devices synced together. Different users need different Apple IDs to create their own icloud accounts. Note that everyone can still use the same ID for an iTunes account (to share purchases).
To create a new icloud account, go to

HT4623 I tried updating to iOS6 via itunes bc my storage space was pass limit and now my phone is telling me it's in recovery mode and I need to restore it. I didn't back it up. How do I take it out of recovery mode and keep the information on my phone?

You cannot. If it is in recovery mode, the data is already gone.
Did you fail to make sure everything was on your computer before updating?

Hello babichanjacob
Change how it syncs by enabling Manually manage music and videos, then you can drag and drop the music that you want on your iPhone. Revert it back to test to see if that resolves the issue.

On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
Make sure Contacts is switched ON. It may take a few minutes for the data to sync via Wi-Fi.
If you are using iCloud, there's no need to connect your iPhone to a computer via iTunes to sync your contacts.

So I bought an iphone 4 from ebay and when I got it it was already signed into an icloud account. When I contacted the seller he said he would try to get the password but i haven't heard from him. How can I sign out of her icloud w/out the password

If your contacts are synced to your computer then they are in the supported app you are syncing with.
When you set up syncing of contacts on your device, which application did you select?

My laptop was stolen and I need to be able to connect my iPhone4 to the new laptop and transfer content (photos, mp3's, apps etc.) to the new laptop. I'm afraid to try a sync in case it deletes all the content off the iPhone. Any suggestions?

You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

I sold my iPhone4, and I need to restore it before shipping it. The buyer has asked that I don't install iOS6. Is this possible? Does the restore process force iOS6 onto the phone? Before I backup/restore it, it has iOS5.1.1 installed.

I told you, I can't restore iOS. In order to restore my iPad, I need to update it to iOS 7.0.4, but my iPad needs available space to update, but I don't have any. I can't delete anything at all, so yeah.. are there any possible ways to restore my ipad without updating? If not, please state other ways to solve this problem.
