I have an old iPhone that is locked

I have an old iPhone that is locked that the kids used to use to play games on. I can't remember the password. iTunes will not let me reset/restore this device because find my iPhone is active on this device. I obviously can't turn it off on the device first because I don't remember the password. I thought I would be able to restore anyway from the iTunes account and computer I have always used with it. Any tips?

Log into iCloud.com on your computer and see if it show up there, then erase it there. Then connect to iTunes and reload a recent backup or start as new.

I recently purchased a new computer and just downloaded itunes. I have an old iphone that has over 1,000 songs that I want to put on itunes. How do I get the songs on my iphone onto itunes?

Help! I just bought a new computer and am trying to get the songs from my iphone to itunes on the computer. My old computer that had all of origional songs on itunes crashed so all I have is my old iphone. How do I get the songs to go into my itunes library. I would like to purchase a new iphone and plan to load the songs on it after I can figure this out? Please Help?

Restore them to the new computer using the bakcup of the old one. If you don't have a backup of the old computer, you can re-download music purchased from the iTunes store. If they were imported from CD's, etc. You will either have to re-rip them or purchase third party software to extract them from the phone. The iPhone is not a backup or data transfer device.

I have an old iPhone (3s) that I've now replaced with a newer one. I would like to use the old iPhone in the same way I do an touch. When I plug it into my Mac laptop, there is no recognition on my computer of this old iPhone. What can I do?

Basically, no, but as long as all the music is in the same iTunes library and it doesn't contain protected content from more than five Apple IDs, you don't need to. If desired, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

I have an old iphone 3 with all of my music on it. The laptop that had them stored in itunes has long since died. Ive got a new iphone 5 and Mac and would like to put the music onto the new iphone.

I have an old iphone 3 that has all my music on it. The itunes library that had all the songs in it is on a laptop that died. Ive got a new iphone 5 and Mac and was wondering how i can transfer the music from the old phone to the new one??

You can transfer the purchases you made on your old iPhone 3 by plugging it in to iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from your IPhone to the iTunes on your computer. This will get music you purchased in iTunes, apps, etc. (e.g., movies).
But for the rest you would need to restore a backup of your newly deceased computer.

When you see the old number come up in the suggested choices look for a blue arrow to the right of the Contact. Tap the blue arrow and then tap Remove from Recents.

I have an old iphone 2g/3g. However I dont use it as a phone but as an ipod. Since its the oldest version, I tried updating it to the newest version that all the iphones seem to have. I tried to restore it but now it's stuck on the connect to itunes menu. An error appeared with the error #: 1015. What should I do. Getting a new one is not the answer Im looking for. What should I do?

The 3G stops at iOS 4.2.1 does not support abve that level .
Nothing you can do

If I have an old iPhone 4 that is not factory unlocked how could I unlocked? Don't want any anymore to jailbreak it

If I have an old iPhone 4 that is not factory unlocked how could I unlocked? Don't want any anymore to jailbreak it

I have looked around here. And I've actually in person helped a number of people clear a jailbreak from an iPhone and they work fine. The OPs biggest hurdle is likely to be the process of obtaining an unlock from the cell provider.
The mistake many people make is waiting to Restore until the unlock is approved. They should Restore prior to even getting the unlock approval then do it again after they receive it.
As most people know who have been here awhile we see the ones who have problems, not the ones who have successfully done the process.
If you go by ASC noone would ever buy an iDevice.

I have an old iphone4 that I want to give to a friend that has a different carrier than I. I'm havaing difficulty understanding the instructions from Apple. Why do I need to restore my phone if I have already updated my iphone 6

I have an old iphone 4 that I want to give to a friend that has a different carrier than I. Why do I want to restore my old phone to "unlock" it. I erased all data when I updated my new phone.

If you have arranged with your carrier to unlock you iPhone, and they have sent you an e-mail telling you that it has been unlocked and to follow instructions to unlock, then you will need to restore in order to complete the unlock.

I have an old iPhone 4 that finally stopped working. I have an unlimited data plan and want to keep it. When I called customer service, I was told like in the past that if you purchase the new phone at full price, you can keep your old plan. However, after some time on the phone i was told by the csr and supervisor that their system is not allowing them to complete the transaction without changing to a limited data plan. I was told to try going to a store and buy the phone. Same thing happened. Has Verizon changed something and not told their employees?

Seems like people having this problem are those coming from a phone that doesn't have a nano SIM card...so when Verizon issues them one they end up changing their plan. No clue why this keeps happening but stay on top of them. As long as you initiated the request for your plan to be reinstated within the 14 day time frame they should put it back. Interested in seeing how this plays out. There is still one phone in my house that hasn't been upgraded (an iPhone 4). I'm hoping when we do upgrade it at full retail they won't mess with her unlimited data plan

You can activate iMessage on the old one so it can get your iMessages. The old phone will NOT recieve SMS/MMS messages sent to your number.
