I locked my macbook while in icloud and now cant get back in

I have done this before with no problem but this time I think I got kicked off the network I was on and now I have a white screen with an alternating picture of an earth and a question mark. I can't do anything with it. I have tried rebooting and taking out the battery but nothing changes. Anybody got any suggestions?

Are you able to boot the MacBook to the Snow Leopard install DVD? If so, go to Disk Utility and try Repair Disk on the hard drive (NOT repair permissions) and report the result here. We'll keep working with you.
Best of luck.

    i have locked my macbook pro 10.7 through i cloud and now it needs 4 digit pin as a password.pls help me to open the macbook with password.

    You just input the 4-digit PIN that you were given when you locked your machine over iCloud.
    Pretty simple - unless you don't recall the PIN.

  • I changed a few settings and now cant get the iPad to shut off with the shut off switch and can't back to the settings icon to change it back. Any ideas?

    I changed a few settings on my iPad and now cant get the iPad to shut off with the shutoff button and the button to get to all the icons won't let me get back to settings to change the settings back.  Can anyone help?

    Have you tried resetting your iPad?
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • I hit Forget Network and now cannot get back onto my wireless home network. All of my other computers and iphones are fine.  How do I get the network back?  It shows in my list of networks but when I use the password and try to join it says not connected.

    See if the iPad will accept the password after you restart it. It's worth a try.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You could also try a reset as well.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    Were you running iOS 7 beta?  If so, as a developer you need to log into the Developer forum for assistance.
    Not a developer and running iOS 7 beta?  Then you've stolen Apple's software and will receive absolutely no assistance from this forum.  Enjoy your iBrick!

  • My iphone has synced with a later date than photos taken and now cant get resent photos back?

    my iphone has synced with a later date than photos taken and now cant get photos recently taken same with messages :-(

    iDevices do not sync with a date... they sync with the computer.
    If the user has restored the device using an older backup, simply restore it with a more current backup.

    Technically, the phone CAN be tracked using the "serial" number, but no one will do that for you.  If your phone is offline, there's no way of reaching it.  Most likely, it's already been restored and either put up for sale on eBay, or is being used by the theives themselves.
    Sorry, but there's nothing else you can do other than report it to your carrier, the police, and change all your passwords to any account that might have been in use on the phone.

  • Somehow my sons contacts got into my phone by icloud and i cant get my contacts back

    can u please help me i had more then 200 contacts from my friends to family to buisness

    It shounds like you are sharing the same iCloud account.  When you do this, any content you sync with the shared account is merged and the merged data appears on both devices.  Also, any actions taken on either device are reflected on the other.  If you son was syncing contacts with your account, then found your contacts on his phone and started deleting them, they would have been deleted from your phone too and are now lost. 
    If your contacts are no longer in your account on icloud.com, then they are no longer in iCloud and you will have to use another backup source to recover them, if you have one.
    To prevent the problem from occuring in the future, make sure everyone's devices are on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID.  You can continue to share the same ID for iTuens and App store purchases; it doesn't have to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.
    To move your son to a separate account, have him go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with a separate ID to create the new account.  This only deletes the account from his phone, not from iCloud.  Your phone won't be effected by this.

  • An email account to an apple id was hacked and now cant get in to verify the account settings.

    Hi,  My girlfriends email account wad hacked and despite all efforts to get back into it we are unabke to and we cannot verify her apple id anymore. Is there anyone at apple we can contact to change the email account for a id?   For some reason when we try to log in to verify the apple account it doesnt accept her birthdate either which is bizzare.  Cheers

    The same thing happened to us, my husband and I have 2 seperate Itunes accounts and both attatched to a credit card, when we upgraded our iphones, same thing. Couldnt log in and no emails. Husband kept telling me he got purchases but they werent from me as I use Itunes cards. We called apple and it was a big fuss and not really all that helpful. All the devices are mine, not his and it was verify after verify after verify, to no end. Finally I gave up because the hacker had re routed the recipts to another email and apple wanted me to provide the email and the secirity question, well, how can I know the hackers email or what they replaced as security questions???? Frustrating. Now I am living with some dufuss tracking all my whereabouts on my macbook -so no privacy and no hopes in having secure passwords, and I synced my iphone and it's now having the same. This is very frustrating. Loved my mac, loved my phone loved my ipod and Ipad, but when your being tracked by a faceless unknown person and it costs how much to remove it's frustrating anyone else have this happen? It makes me want to just go offline.
