I forgot my passcode!

My passcode is not working, and I kept getting locked out. Now, the screen says "Disabled, connect to itunes," however when I connect to itunes in order to restore my phone, it says "Cannot connect, Jamison's Iphone must be unlocked first." I can't even wait to try again! I am very frustrated, can somebody please help me?

LOST PASSCODE
You should be able to remove the passcode by restoring the device. Do the following:
1. Connect the device to the computer to which you normally sync;
2. Open iTunes (Note: If iTunes prompts 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" in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 )
3. Right-click the device in the left column of iTunes and select Back up (read this article on how to restore http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 )
4. When the backup is complete, select Restore
5. When finished, restore from your most recent backup
To restore read the restore section in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
If that doesn’t work you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

How can I turn off "Find My iPhone" in order to restore my phone if forgot my Passcode?

I'm trying to restore my iPhone 4S because I forgot the Passcode. I got a new 5c but when I went back to my 4s, I forgot my Passcode and now it is disabled and it says "Connect to ITunes" but iTunes says that "Find My iPhone" must be turned off before it can be restored, but I can't turn that off if I can't get into my phone. What do I do?

u may try what kappy suggested or
donwload a stock firm ware of your iOS from any external site
switch of your iPhone
put it in recovery mode ,connect to a pc/ mac with iTunes
open iTunes if it did not open on its own
it should pop a message saying "iTunes detected a iPhone in recovery mode"
click ok or hold option and click on restore
it pops up a finder window just select the firmware u downloaded
and let the magic happen
afterwards u can sync but don't restore from a back up it locks ur phone again

You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
This will tell you how to restore

You will probably need to use recovery mode

HT1212 My daughter forgot her passcode so we reset it as per your instructions above. The problem is that she can't redownload any apps. It is telling us that she needs 4.3 and we have 4.2.1 . We had all kinds of apps on it before but it won't let us redo

Please help. My daughter forgot her passcode and her apple id so we reset the ipod as per instructed I got her a new apple id. and now she can not redownload any of her apps. It says that she needs a 4.3 and she only has a 4.2.1. We are trying to download the same apps she had before and it won't allow it. I can not seem to get the 4.3. We are unable to download anything. Any help would be appreciated.
I was told it was a 3rd generation at purchase but when checking online it sometimes shows 3 and sometimes 2. I am totally confused and just want her to be able to use the device. Thanks and Blessings.

If you have iOS 4.2.1 or later on the iPod and there was version compatible with that version, then you should be able to get a compatible version by:
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

My daughter forgot her passcode, so "iPod is disabled. Connect to iTunes." But iTunes refuses to connect without passcode. Now what?

My daughter forgot her passcode and tried too many times to remember it, so now her iPod is locked with the message "iPod is disabled. Connect to iTunes." I tried connecting it to iTunes, but iTunes says it could not connect "because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPod touch before it can be used with iTunes."
Question 1: What are we doing wrong? Why does the iPod say to connect to iTunes if it CAN'T be connected to iTunes?
Some other threads suggest that the only option is to wipe/restore it. The problem is that she has a lot of photos she would like to rescue before erasing it. The Photostream had not been enabled on her computer, so I enabled it. Shortly thereafter, six photos appeared on her computer. But she says there are many, many more and she really wants them. We have waited weeks for more photos to appear, but no more have shown up after the first six. Why not?
Question 2: Is there anything we can do to coax the iPod to finish sharing the rest of the photos in her Photostream?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. You can't get info off the iPod in its present state
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
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: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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 backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
All you can to to get the photos is:
Photos
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe from the restored iPod via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

I need to use my old Trophy phone for a couple of days until I get my new iPhone, but I forgot my passcode, as I haven't used it in over a year. How do I get in?

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.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

HT1212 I did not sync my iPad to iTunes on my PC. Now my iPad is disabled because I forgot my passcode when I set up iOS 7 on it. I have tried to use the support info from Apple AND the cut and paste responses from people in the community, but it does not

I did not sync my iPad to iTunes to my PC. Now my iPad is disabled because I forgot my passcode when I installed iOS 7 to it.
Before anyone cuts and pastes the info from Apple support in response to this, I have already tried those steps. iTunes simply states that it cannot do anything since the iPad is locked with a passcode. I cannot access iCloud to use that specific advice as iCloud will not let me sign in; a message keeps coming up reading that there is an error with the server. Remote Swipe? Not sure. It is three hours later, and I am no further.
What else can I do? I never had a passcode set up when I first got my iPad. I would have bypassed this with the installation of iOS 7 if I had known about this.
Thank you in advance.

You can only play 720p video.
Download the 720p or standard def version.

How do you get your ipod touch unlocked ? i have forgot the passcode.

I have forgot my passcode to my ipod touch and its showing DISABLED now where i have the wrong passcode. How can i reset it or unlock it? I don't have the pc i first used when i bought my ipod touch.

If you can't remember the Passcode, you need to restore the device from the computer it was last synced with.
Follow the instructions for putting the device in recovery mode > iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
I don't have the pc i first used
Not good.
After too many unsuccessful attempts, you won't be able to try again until you connect it to the computer with which you last synced it.

My daughter forgot her passcode on her new ipod touch. How do I access it? The message says ipod disabled. I've tried resetting by holding on/off and home but hasn't worked

My daughter forgot her passcode on her brand new ipod touch. How do I access it now? The message reads, "ipod disabled". I've tried holding the on/off button and home button until I see an apple. Then asks me to connect to itunes. When trying to connect to itunes, it will not let me as it asks for the ipod touch's passcode (which we do not have!) What next?

Did you use the instructions I provided in the document above? It can be a bit tricky getting the device into recovery mode. Try a few more times.
What happens if you try DFU mode?
