I have reset my passcode and forgotten it.

I've tried everything and can't get into my phone because I have no idea what the code is. Is there a way i can get into my phone or find out what the code is without resetting the whole thing because I have very important stuf on it which I can not delete. Please help ASAP.

The only way to remove a forgotten passcode is to restore the phone. If no backup to restore from, you will lose all of your data. That's the whole point of the passcode, to protect the data on the phone.
Either force the phone into recovery mode, as described here:

Or, login to iCloud.com, on your computer, locate the phone, then erase it.
Either will remove the passcode.

Lisa,
You'll need to connect the touch to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restore it to factory settings. See this article for help on getting your iPod touch into Recovery Mode.

I have lost my passcode and cant sync my iphone either

PlEaSe HeLp I have lost my passcode and cant sync my my phone either so i cant access anything to change it.

Hi,
I'm not sure if that would work, but just give it a shot.
Don't only hold the home button and the wake/sleep button down till it resets,
try holding it down for about 30-40 seconds.
This time it should not just reset. You just have to make sure it's long enough. You will see ;-)
But then, you will have to put everything back on it again.
Better than having no access, I guess ;-)

Sorry to hear about this problem. What site are you trying to log in on? Is it a Mozilla site? Usually you don't need to register or sign in to a Mozilla site to use Firefox. Usually you can just go straight to where you want to go.

Have you tried rebooting your wireless router by removing power from it for about 30 seconds, then powering it back up?

HT201210 I attempted to update my IPAD to IOS6 and it failed, following this restore keeps failing with error stating recovery failed. I am stuck. I have reset several times and retried recovery mode only to get the same endless loop of trouble. Please

I tried to update my IPAD to IOS6 and it failed following this recover mode will not wortk either. I have reset multiple times and tried recovery again only to get the same error stating that recovery failed. The error states unknown recovery error. My system OS is up to date with OS X 10.7.5. Itunes is up to date with 10.7 (21).

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- The Additional Information paragraph of
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Hello,
It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
Reset the Firewire bus
If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device. A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
1. Shut the machine down.
2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
3. leave it for 10 minutes.
4. Connect back up and reboot.

HT4623 My ipod does not have a "software update". I have reset the ipod and now can't download anything to it.

I have reset my ipod and cleared all the info on it. Now I am unable to download any apps. It says I need to update the software but I don't seem to have that capability. What do I do?

Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

TS1424 Whenever I try to update an app or download a new one I get an error message stating "unable to connect to iTunes"....I have reset my iPad and router but still get the error message

Whenever I try to update any apps or download a new one I get the following error message "unable to connect to iTunes". I have reset my iPad and router and also done the same with my iPod but get the same issue.....need some support please?

There are a number of threads from other people reporting the same iTunes connection issue, it looks like there might be a problem at Apple's end - but you could try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works, but it probably won't until Apple's fixed it

I have reset my passcode and forgotten it.
