I locked my phone and need to restore
i locked my phone cuz i forgot lockcode pass word
Forgotten Passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

uh my phone is broken and won't turn on. so I'm getting a new phone and need to back it up but i need to unlock my passcode to backup but my phones locked sooooo idk ;/
Nothing you can do, sorry to say. If it will not turn on there is absolutely nothing you can do now to backup what is on it. The whole point of a backup is to have made it before disaster strikes. Now, with a dead iPhone, all you can do is accept the loss of your data.
You will be able to re-download iTunes and App store purchases since they are tied to your AppleID, not your device.
Have you been using iCloud for backup? If you have, then you should have a backup in iCLoud you can use to restore your replacement phone with. iCloud backups are automatic (once every 24hrs, whenever your device is on wifi, plugged in and asleep). -
I just tried updating my iPhone 4GS and it says I have an error, and need to "restore" the phone before I can use it with iTunes??? I don't want to lose the pictures on it! What can I do to save them?

No, sorry... did not happen becasue no such model exists.
If the device is in recovery mode, any data on it is already lost.
The only options are:
Restore the device to get it functional.
Enjoy the paper weight.
For what reason did you attempt to update the device without first ensuring that your data was safe, meaning backing up the device and copying important pictures/videos taken with the device to a computer? -
HT1430 I locked my phone and cant remember pass code
I locked my phone and cant remember pass code
LOST PASSCODE
You should be able to remove the passcode by restoring the device. Do the following:
Connect the device to the computer to which you normally sync;
Open iTunes (Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes" in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 );
Right-click the device in the left column of iTunes and select Back up (read this article on how to restore http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 );
When the backup is complete, select Restore;
Whenever finished, restore from your most recent backup.
To restore read the restore section in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
If that doesn’t work you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it. -
My iPhone does not have Facetime on it. I've tried going into restrictions, but there's a passcode that doesn't seem to be one that I've used before. Is it possible to reset the phone and then just restore a portion of the old information? I've tried several pass codes and now am locked out for an hour after being locked out for 5 minutes and then 15 minutes. It said that I had tried 7 pass codes prior to these, but I don't remember ever trying to get into restrictions before.
I've looked up other posts on this, and my phone was purchased in the US and does not have an AE in the model number.Help for forgotten passcode > iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
When you have access to your iPhone again, FaceTime is a pre installed app that cannot be removed.

I deleted my icloud calendar from my iphone 5 and need to restore it
I deleted my icloud calendar from my iphone 5 and need to restore it. Can I do it or is all the data lost? Also the calendar I have on my iphone does not sync into icloud now.
You will have to restore the phone. Connect to the computer you normally sync with, restore the device then restore from backup. See this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
As it states in there, if you do not have access to the computer you normally sync with, or you have never synced the device, you will have to restore the device as a new device and all data will be lost. -
I have an oritinal iPad and need to restore it to factory settings. I've followed the instuctions from the reset menu. When it powers back up it takes me to a screen indicating I need to attach it to iTunes. The iPad was loaned to me so I did not have a need to back it up. Can anyone help me restore the settings without connecting to iTunes?
Helpjere-
When you reset to factory settings, you erased all content and settings. That restored it to factory settings except that it kept the latest iOS update.
The person who loaned it to you can connect it to iTunes on their computer. They will be given the option to restore from their backup.

When I send a text message I do not get any confirmation that it has been delivered. Is there any way of getting an automated message confirmation delivery and time? I was used to this with my old phone and need to know that my text message has been delivered to the recipient's phone, and when.
Thanks. So there's no means of knowing whether a text message has been delivered, not to mention time of delivery. Perhaps I've gone for the wrong phone. It might do a lot but seems to miss out on some basics.

Help! I synced my iCal from my old iPhone to iCloud. It worked great. I've done this because I'm switching to a Samsung phone and need to sync my iCal to my Google calendar. In attempting to do so today, my iCal is empty. How can I retrieve my iCal info??
This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that? -
I have photos on my phone and need to e-mail a bunch of them, I can't find them on my computer where did they go?
Welcome to the Apple community.

Also I have deleted all apps that can have access to the camera and i have updated the new IOS.What else should I do ? Is this a hardware problem?
Looks like a hardware issue that will have to be taken to a store

Try reseting. You may lose everything on phone though
To reset
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
'Home Button' is the Black depression in the Iphone that you can press
'Sleep/Wake Button' is the black raised area at the top of the Iphone -
