I forgot the password to turn the restrictions lock off. Help!
Try hard to remember it! There is no way to recover from a Restrictions Password lockout (unless you have a backup from before you set the Restrictions password). In order to remove the Restrictions password, you must restore your iPod to Factory Settings. Everything on the iPod will be wiped, but you can redownload your purchased apps for free.

i forgot the password of my restrictions and i cant even back up my ipod becuz i fotgot the password what can i do ?
Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- If you are up to file manipulation see:
How to reset forgotten Restrictions...: Apple Support Communities
What do you mean by this: " i cant even back up my ipod becuz i fotgot the password"? Password for what? -
after hibernation, when trying to login to MacBook Air, it does not accept my password. I have to shut off and then get prompted with the following: Mac OS X wants to use the "login" keychain. I put in the password there and it works. any suggestions?
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access. -
iCloud password works on everything but erasing all data. I got a new iPhone and need to wipe this one but am not sure how else to do this since the password is not working. Any suggestions?
Firefox also makes regular backups of your bookmarks in a folder named bookmarkbackups in your personal settings folder. You can restore the backup to your new Firefox, but unlike importing the HTML-format file, it is a complete drop-in replacement, so if you have saved new bookmarks you do not want to lose, the export/import method may work better for you.
By default, Windows hides your personal settings folder so the easiest way to access it is from inside Firefox. You can use either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This will launch a window showing your Firefox settings files.
You might want to back up this whole folder if you have other data you want to preserve from your XP computer.
Either way, you should find the bookmarkbackups folder here and when you click into it, find maybe 10 files with dates in their names.
The procedure to restore the file once you have it on removable media or some other convenient place is described in this article: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].
Regarding the other files and what you might find of use: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]. -
I am trying to login into my user account but I set a simple masterpassword and everytime I input the password it says login failed. Any suggestions?

Disable the password protection - Turn passcode off in ios 6.1
Hi,
Yesterday, I've upgraded my iphone 5 to ios 6.1
Since then the phone asked me to enter a new password and from that point on, I can't disable this option and every time my phone gets locked and I open it I need to enter my password.
How do I disable it ??
from the settings options I can't this option to Turn the passcode off is in gray (Disable).
Does anyone know what to do ?
Thanks,Do you have an exchange account from your school or employer set up? If so, they have overridden the default settings to enforce passcode use. They do this simply by pushing out a security certificate via their exchange server. The only way to get rid of those restrictions will be to remove the exchange account and no longer use it.

O2 have discontinued my email address and I have forgotten my password. This email is the 1 I used for my iCloud account. So now can't get into my account at all? As if I do the forgot password thing it can't be verified through my email?
Go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.

So blue tooth was working just fine with my wireless keyboard and now not so much. I see the Bluetooth icon on top and its not allowing me to see anything about the setup like it did before. now it's just telling me that it's "Not Available"....... looked for Bluetooth options on preference window and all it found me was the sharing folder where there was nothing about bluetooth.
Shut your Mac down - not reboot, do a shut down - then boot it up and see whether the problem has cleared. As it happens, I had exactly the same thing a couple of days ago: a reboot didn't cure it but a shut down did.

I can't get my IMac to shut down without turning it off any suggestions??
Whenever I need to shut my computer down from the apple menu it hangs. It does the same thing whenever I try to restart it. It's annoying. The only way I can get results is to physically shut it off. Help
Create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if the issue persists.

I forgot the passcode to turn off restrictions. I have restored my iPad back to the factory settings and then synced it with the latest backup. The restrictions are still on and it is asking for the passcode. Can someone tell me how to get that off.
The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings. Hope you have a backup.
Follow the instructions in iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.
Cheers, Tom -
I forgot the password on my iPad; I have it backed up on my Mac, so I saw that I just should back up from iTunes. I tried to do that, but it says to first turn off "Find my iPad", which obviously I cannot do because I don't have my password!! Help!
Have you tried using Find My iPad on a computer to remote wipe your iPad?

How can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone
how can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone setting
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPad and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).
