I locked up my restrictions and don't remember my pass code. That was 2 years ago now I want to use FaceTime, iCloud etc and I've restricted myself.... HELP somebody. PLEASE

I have an IPad2. When I first got it my 9 year old nephew was using it a lot &hi noticed stuff was missing like photos and apps and new stuff had been added.
I wanted to lock up stuff so he could not download and get rid of things I wanted on there. I set my restrictions up so I thought I was safe. I inadvertently locked myself out by forgetting the lock code for my restrictions. It's been 2 years and I need to set up things I am locked out of. Can anyone help me ? Is there a way to reset my lock code on my restrictions?

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

I bought photoelements 7 a few years ago, now I want to use and can not. i don't want to upgrade

I purchased Photo elements 7 a few years ago and it is sufficient for my needs. but now i can not get into the program, I have account number and password. i am not interested in upgrading to version 12

In your Adobe A/c did you look under 'My Orders.? That's where you'll find the download link.
If it's not there, you can download PSE7 from a link in the comments here - http://prodesigntools.com/direct-download-links-for-lightroom-3-and-photoshop-elements-8.h tml/comment-page-1#comment-2186. Make sure you also read the linked instructions. Follow those very important instructions EXACTLY or you will likely encounter authorisation errors or download the latest version instead.
You will still need your serial number. You should be able to findthis in your Adobe A/c under 'My Products'.
Cheers,
Neale

HT201441 Need to erase my old iphone but... It's locked (I don't remember the pass code#, it is not connected to wi-fi or cellular #so I can't erase from my icloud). Help??

I need to erase my old (unused currently) phone so my kids can use it on wi-fi and play games but it's locked & I don't remember the pass code. Any one know how to erase it and start over without the pass code.
PS it is not currently connedted to wi-fi so the simple "erase device" using iCloud won't work.

Here is a guide how you could reset your iPhone via iTunes, if you cannot remember the passcode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

I just updated my phone to the latest version.... but when restarting it asked for a passcode. I haven't had a passcode in at least six months and don't remember what my old one was. What can I do to access my phone?

Hi, I am unable to reset all settings.. I don't remember the pass code.. I am able to reset network settings and other settings. Can someone please help

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.

HT1222 Hi , I don't remember the pass code to upgrade the software , how can I get it ?

How can I get my pass code to upgrade my software ?

The pass code is whatever you set it as.
It is not located anywhere and can not be recovered.
If you forgot it, you will have to wipe and restore.

I gave an ipod touch to my daughter and she wants to reset it but I don't remember my pass code. Is there a way to bypass this or how do I reset it?

I gave an ipot touch to my daughter and she wants to reset it because you can not delete the games my grandchildren put on it. When you hold the game you want to delete wiggles but never has an "X" to delete. We tried to reset it but wants a pass code which I don't remember I s there anything I can do? Thanks

Could you mention the names of apps?
It should/can be deleted except the pre-installed system apps!
If you have forgot the password and want to restore it completely, here's the guide:

iis there any way I can avoid security questions? These were set years ago. Answers were probably ambiguous. Now I'm using a new device and being asked security questions the answers to which I can't remember.

I jailbroke a phone and don't really care if it is jailbroke anymore. So i want to go to 5.1 and I can't figure out how to enable bonjour which seems to be the problem

I jailbroke a phone and no longer want it that way I would rather upgrade to 5.1 software and the problem seems to be because it disabled bonjour from i tunes . ,
How do i enable bonjour or just how do I get 5.1 software on a jailbroke phone?

Bonjour has nothing to do with this.

I was using my debit card for itunes now i want to use the gift card and it keeps going to my card information

I want to use my itunes gift card... everytime i try to download music it keeps going to my debit card information. Why wont it use the money that is credited to from the itunes card?

Did you perhaps create multipe Apple IDs without realizing it?
To investigate, go here.

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. 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 turn off.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.
