I have a situation where I find my restrictions have been turned on and I dont know the passcode to unlock them. Is there a solution that doesnt risk all the data on my phone?

Hello,
    I recently purchased an Iphone 5s, 16 GB, version7.1.2, , model ME305LL/A.  I've been having some issues however. 
It appears someone has entered a passcode for "restrictions". I do not recall ever having engaged this feature and the
only proof I have of that is I am unable to find the passcode! There are 379 photos on this phone which I would like to keep. But
I am unable to backup my device because of the restrictions being turned on. I do not want to lose the data. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I did try to get help by going into the local Apple store.  However, I was told that the only way to get it working again, now that I am locked out it, is to get on itunes and do a complete factory reset. This of course would fix the locked out issue but I would loose all the pics.

    What happens when you try to restore the iPod? Error message?
    If this program will not get the iPod out of recovery mode your data should be safe.

  • I have purchased MOVIES from Apple iTunes and want to know how I can burn them to my DVD so I can watch/view the movies on my TV's located in my house?

    I have purchased MOVIES from Apple iTunes and want to know how I can burn them to my DVD so I can watch/view the movies on my TV's located in my house?  Pls post what you know or works for you - I see the movies on iTunes but am unable to locate them in any folder on my computer???  Thank you!

    So what is meant here is spend more money - wrong answer.
    For that reason most people prefer to buy movies on DVD. They are easily shared, foolproof, and super easy to use. I love Apple TV and iTunes for music and TV shows, but I would never purchase a movie that was not on an optical disc.
    When I head out-of-town I can grab a couple of DVDs to watch on my new MacBook Pro during the flight. Easy and uncomplicated.
    DVDs offer another advantage. You can watch your movie without depending upon a complicated and delicate infrastructure. Also, movies are frequently censored for political correctness (Star Wars is a recent example).  Despite public pressure for a release, the Disney movie “Song of the South” remains banned.  Even cartoons like Johnny Quest are now censored.  Only people who purchased physical copies years ago have them as they were originally produced.
    When you possess a physical copy of the movie the PC patrol can't mess with it.

  • I have a iphone 4s and the wifi settings on my phone randomly went grey and turned off and i dont know how to fix it any ideas?

    My wifi isnt working need to know how to fix it because now im using all my data, not sure how to fix it hoping someone will know

    How exactly does someone search for a resolution to an issue without the specifics of the issue?
    The iPhone never displays any errors with "something about programming".
    Before you go any further, stop being vague.  READ the error message and post the precise text of the message here or google it.  Otherwise you risk wasting time, losing data, or possibly bricking the device by doing unnecessary and irrelevant troubleshooting.

  • HT201210 Can somebody please help me, PLEASE!?! I have sentimental pics on my ipad but I have locked myself out, and don't know the passcode to unlock it.

    The sentimental pics on here can't be replaced cuz they are of my son and his best friend Scooter, his dog. We moved and couldn't keep him so I had to take him to the Humane Society where he was adopted.  I have tried to get the info of the new family that has him, but of course for privacy issues, they won't give it to me. So now that you know how desperate I am, please is there ANY way that I can restore the ipad without knowing the code? My son is heartbroken already at loosing him, but if I can't restore the ipad, he will loose all the pics that he has of him. I can verify any and all info of the purchase or anything that would need verified.

  • Find my ipod has been turned off

    got an email saying find my ipod has been turned off and have lost my ipod wondering if there is anything that can be done

    What model iPod? From that message it appears that you did not have a screen-lock passcode or somebody else knows it. Also they may know your Apple ID and password.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the device and report to police and carrier if iPhone or cellular iPad
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the erase (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 or later on the device. With iOS 7 or later, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

    Hi,
    don´t be worry, this would not be a problem.
    You have to take the same Aplle ID on both devices, then you can sync them via iTunes by using all universal apps on each device, create playlists, albums and all the things you need and sync it, no problem...

  • We have a situation where in an existing application after go live we need

    We have a situation where in an existing application after go live we need to add a new dimention. The fact is after adding the dimension the existing data will not have any value against this dimension(will have only null values). If so will it create a problem in loading or reporting?. How to resolve it?.

    My experience (on BPC 5.1 MS, and earlier versions) has been as follows:
    1.) create a new dimension, with at least 1 member. Pay particular attention to which member is the first base member in the hierarchy. (If you're planning to have multiple hierarchies in this dimension, wait for now on the ParentH2 etc. Start with just 1 hierarchy until you've completed these steps.) Process the dimension.
    2.) add that dimension to an existing application. When the application is processed, all of the existing data is assigned to that first base member of the new dimension.
    3.) If that's not sufficient, and you want to assign some data to another member of this new dimension, either use the "Move" package, or write custom SQL script logic, to get the data assigned to the correct members.

  • I have a friend who I was helping out with his iPhone. He has since lost it. I believe I backed it up to my machine but have no idea where to find it. Is it possible to find it and read the back-up file without the original device being connected?

    If he gets another device - you should be able to restore it from your computer to the point where you backed it up
    Otherwise that file cannot be read

  • Hello, I have long been using Mozilla Firefoh, but I can't restore a theme (in the browser before I used the theme in anime), I do not remember how to install it and where to find, maybe it was not a topic, and skin. Please help me solve this problem.

    (in the browser before I used the theme in anime), I do not remember how to install it and where to find, maybe it was not a topic, and skin.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

    i have connected my phone to itunes and now my phone doesnt work its just got this thing stuck on my phone screen and i dont know how to fix it??

    Wow I see from the other responses to similar questions that the phone may be jailbroken.  I thought I was purchasing an unlocked phone that was legal to use with any system.  What a disappointment, I will have to go back to where I purchased this phone and let them have an ear full.
