i just buy a new iphone 4S, i wanna sync my data from 3GS to new iphone but i forget the password for the 3GS

Connect your 3GS in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

  • HT1349 why when i start the new ipad, it shows  " Enter the password for the CalDAV account "Yahoo!"?

    when I start my new ipad, it shows  " Enter the password for the CalDAV account "Yahoo!"? so, i need to tap the cancel button 2 times. after that, i can use my new ipad. I just bought the new ipad 21.05.2012. yesterday, worst to worst, i cannot used my new ipad because after i tap the button cancel 2 times, the new i pad just hanging there with the box Enter the password for the CalDAV account "Yahoo!". It doesn't moved and I hate it so much.

    Most likely your yahoo password setup in your mail account is wrong. When you wake your ipad it checks for mail right away(even though it has when it sleeps). Your password or something with your Yahoo mail is wrong.
    Assuming caldav is your yahoo name. If its not a yahoo email, you have email setup wrong. Its your email.

    Unfortunatly the only way that you can get it off is to get the old user to input the password.  You may need to contact that old user and see if he can put the old password in.  hope this helps.

    I recently had to get a new windows computer, old one crashed. My tech guy got all my itunes library over to the new one, and all my songs are there. However, some won't play and ask me for the password for the apple id they were purchased under. 2 of these ids are obsolete and I have no access to those accts. The songs all played on my old computer without prompting me for a password.
    Any ideas how I can get around this hassle and get them all to play? We're talking about 800 songs that are being obstinate. The new computer is authorized under my "new" Apple id, which I have used for years.

  • Whenever I start my iPhone or iPad I get a message:'Password required/Enter the password for the CardDAV account. Can someone tell me what the CardDAV is and how to eliminate the message?

    Each time I start iPhone or iPad I get a message: 'Password required/ Enter the password for the CardDAV account'. Can anyone tell me what that is about and how to eliminate.
    Also this began happening the same time my Yahoo mail account was hacked which resulted in my mail program (on mini) to fail. It crashes on startup.
    Thanks

    Thanks Steve that did it on my iPad. It was the yahoo account. Im beginning to think that Yahoo is dangerous. It was the hacking of my Yahoo mail account that started these problems. My mail account on my mini still does not work. I posted the problem here and got real professional advice  but to no avail it still doesnt work and I cant re-install the OS because Im in China and their Great firewall keeps the net too slow.

  • My apple id for icloud is linked to an invalid email address and i do not have the password for the account.  I need to delete the account to access my icloud on my iphone.  any ideas?

    my apple id for icloud is linked to an invalid email address and i do not have the password for the account.  I need to delete the account to access my icloud on my iphone.  any ideas on how to override this issue?

    If you updated the old ID at one point to create your current iCloud ID, 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.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • What is the password for the new user account that is set up via Migration Assistant?

    I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro, and used Migration Assistant to download My Documents from a previous PC desktop. The migration was successful, but afterwards the new user account that was set up to house all the new documents became inaccessible to me.
    My administrator's password works for my computer and I am able to log in and out, change settings, etc.
    However, if I try to log in to the new user account, no password works. Through the administrator's account I have also attempted to change the password, and I am allowed to do so, but when I use the new password I set up, it still denies me access.
    Additionally, if I log out the administrator's account and click the new account to log in, it prompts me to make a new password for the account, and whatever I enter is also rejected as "incorrect." (The screen shakes)
    I am very frustrated my inability to access this information I must use to work, and I have no idea what the password might be, or how to change it properly.
    PLEASE HELP COMMUNITY! I have only had my mac for about a week and I have had it up to hear with this "user friendly" system.

    You can change the password from Visual administrator. login to visual administrator, and select services,, under that you will find the system details. change the password.
    even if the visual administrator password is expired then u can go thorugh configtoo.bat and there u can change the password.
    if that even not possible then u need to login to sql and can execute the commands for changing password.

  • I signed out of an itunes account to a new one, however when trying to update apps it asks for the password for the old account, how do i get rid of this?

    I have an old iphone with old itunes accounts.  I have signed out of these in the settings tab and put in the new account, however when i go to the App store to update apps it comes up with the old account and there are no other options.  I cannot see this account anywhere else, does anyone have any suggestions?

    You can't.  Apps are forever tied to the AppleID that purchased them.  Delete the apps with the old AppleID and purchase them with the new AppleID.
