    itunes will not recognise my encryption password even though it has been reset. cant restore to last backup?

    I'm not aware of a way to reset the password for an encrypted backup. If you have forgotten the password for an encrypted backup, your only alternative is to put the phone in recovery mode and restore it as a new device. Your data will be lost.

  • Ipad wont connect or reset

    My ipad wont connect to my mac, so i tought i moght be a good idea to reset to factory settings.. but when i do that, is just keep showing loading screen for hours... help me!?

    Your reset to factory settings was not a good choice. In your circumstances I WOULD HAVE recommended -
    Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
    Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
    Thirdly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
    Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
    HOWEVER, in your present circumstances I hope you have a backup and I suggest you go down the route of putting your iPad into recovery mode and doing a Restore from your latest backup. See here for the guidance -http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and note the Additional Information at the end.

  • Just got a new iphone and it wont connect so I can restore all my apps etc.. tried different cords and outlets but no good ..

    Just got a replacement iphone 4 and it wont connect to itunes for me to restore things. It started to sync but then itunes froze so once I tried to connect it wouldnt do it .I tried new cords, new outlets, and new computer but nothing.. ahhhhh less stress when I had no phone i think ... help

    Try unchecking the "Encrypt backup" checkbox. You will still have to enter a password, but you can go through a lot of passwords faster this way. If you ever had a corporate Ms Exchange account try your old domain passwords. Also try familiar passwords all lower case.
    Finally, there is a professional password cracker that is made primarily for the law enforcement market by Elcomsoft. It will always be able to find your password, but it may take years to do it if you had a really good password. You can give it a list of passwords that you have used, however, and it will try variations on them, as well as dictionary searches. It's expensive, but there is a trial version that will give you the first two characters of your password.

  • Iphone wont connect to itunes to restore

    been in the usa for two weeks during which time phone said it needed to restore by connecting to itunes.  Now back in UK and phone will not register connection with itunes on my home pc.  phone screen just saying 'restore needed'.  Any ideas?

    There are four primary causes of the activation error:
    The activation server is unavailable. Rare, but it happens. Usually fixed within minutes.
    Your antivirus or firewall (or your router's firewall) is blocking access to the domain gs.apple.com on ports 80 and 443.
    Your phone is jailbroken.
    Your phone isn't jailbroken, but the computer you are connected to during the restore or update was used to hack or jailbreak some other iOS device, and its network database was corrupted in the process.
    Perhaps this will provide you some clues as to how to proceed. If your iPhone has not been jailbroken, Apple has some troubleshooting suggestions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3424 
    If your iPhone has been jailbroken, you're on your own. We can provide no assistance for jailbroken devices in these forums.

    i cant restore my apple iphone and it is stuck in recuvery mode and i dont know what to do

    If you can't restore it in recovery mode then you'll have to try DFU mode to restore it (see

  • Cant restore?? Help please??

    My ipod has suddenly stopped me putting songs onto it, it keeps coming up with the errors (-53)
    Ive tries to restore it, it says it restoring but when its finished my musics still on it.
    Can anyone help??

    In addition i have to say that i am VERY dissapointed with apple customer service. There is no support contact information (at least i couldnt find one), there is no german support forum and the support pages are obviously wrong. For example the part in which they explain how to restore your ipod.
    Let me quote:
    "Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download of the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
    * Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
    * Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
    * Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software available.
    * Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software available.
    Thats definetly wrong. I dont get these 4 option, my only option is to restore and update.
    I cant understand why i cant restore my ipod without itunes connecting to apple-server. And as stated above i cant get a working connection (always timeout error) - all my other software which updates per internet works fine (for example antivirus software). Thats really annoying.
    And on top there is no one i can contact personally if things dont work properly.

  • Mail & Calendar frozen - reset/reboot/restore does not help

    My mail and calendar apps do not work - cannot send or receive mail from yahoo, gmail and exchange.  Cannot sync with exchange calendar or create appointments.  When Intry to access any of the "Mail, Calendar, Contacts" settings - the General Settings app freezes and I have to restart.  I have reset, rebooted, restored...to no avail.  I am on version 5.1.1. 
    I also have an iPhone 4 configured to use the same mail and calendar accounts in the same way and have no problems.
    Suggestions appreciated!

    I've had the same problem for about 2 weeks now. it'll sometimes freeze. i converted back down to iTunes 6.0.4 from 7.0 and still the same thing happens. i've had this for almost 2 years and this is the first prtoblem i've had w/it. i wish there was an easy solution. nothing seems to work. when connected to my mac, it doesn't show up in iTunes and soemtimes not even the desktop. it's very troublesome.

  • Ipad2 lost w-fi connection and i cant get it back, help!!

    I've got a problem with my ipad2. Since last weekend its stopped being able to connect to the internet. Every time i try to connect it says 'unable to join network'. I've tried resetting the router, and the ipads network settings, and rebooting the ipad itself. I also tried turning the wi-fi off in ipad settings then turning off the ipad. When i rebooted the ipad, it had automatically turned the wi-fi back on, and as before it says 'not connected'. Attempting to join my network with password brings up 'cannot connect to network'. And nothing works. My laptop (using same wi-fi) and PC connect and can get online just fine and all the router lights are green. My router is a Netgear DG834G. Any ideas?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • How do I retrieve photos/data etc. from my iPhone 4 before a completely erasing restore! It'stuck on a "connect to iTunes" to restore screen!  Help please!!!

    I connected my iPhone 4 to my PC to sync all my new info to iTunes/PC, but it said it was not able to recognize it and needs to do a complete restore!  How do I retrieve photos from my iPhone 4 before a complete restore! It'stuck on a "connect to iTunes" to restore screen and won't do anything else!  I tried rebooting the phone (holding the top button and the home button and the SAME "connect to iTunes" screen comes up.  If I restore, I will lose ALL my unsynced photos, apps, and data from the past week (INCLUDING pics from a concert WITH band members!) Help please!  MAYDAY!  My prior backup does NOT contain these photos/apps/data! Ahh!!!!

    I am having the same problems as this person. I see that someone said there is no way to retrieve the pictures once it gets stuck in recovery mode.
    Then further along someone said that there are data retrieval methods except they have something to do with jail breaking a phone.
    My phone is already jail broken. It was kind of a gift from the company I work for- it was a fellow employees before. He jail broke it and then it was given to me. After I got it I activated the 4 and tried to back up everything. It didn't work and "Springboard" forced the phone into safety mode. So I could use it with the old dude's apps and my contacts. I made the mistake of using the phone for wedding dress shopping with a friend. I took tons of pictures.
    After this I found out the messages I was seeing meant it was jail broken. At&t said to force restore the phone - iTunes wouldn't recognize it in safety mode. I'm an idiot and didn't realize what this meant for my pictures. It didn't work (error 1611) - thankfully. Now it is stuck in recovery mode (iTunes icon and USB cable picture).
    Can I access that media in any way? It never suceeded restoring itself so is it still there? The phone is jail broken already so is there a method I can use?

  • My new iPhone 4s wont connect with my laptop!!! HELP

    today i had my new iphone 4s delivered, i charged it using the wall charger, and when i went to sync with my itunes, the phone wasn't connecting to the laptop, i phoned apple support who talked me through re-installing itunes, when he suggested i try the phone on another computer(which was air mac) my phone connected straight away, the apple advisor said the problem would be with my windows, but its all completely up to date, ive got windows 7, thing is, my old phone (3g) connects fine and itunes is opened straight away, why wont it work with the iphone 4s, please help, thanks!!

    First be sure that you are running the lates version of iTunes.  If you are running 64-bit Windows you need to use this version of iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1427.  If you are using the correct version and it's up to date and your computer still won't connect, then you need to uninstall iTunes and all of its components by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.  You need to follow this guide, uninstalling all components in the order specified or it will not be successful.  Once done, reinstall the latest version of iTunes.  Note: uninstalling iTunes only removes the application; it won't touch your iTunes library or data.

  • Urgent Help Required for Connect Four Game

    Hi all,
    I am a student and I have a project due 20th of this month, I mean May 20, 2007 after 8 days. The project is about creating a Connect Four Game. I have found some code examples on the internet which helped me little bit. But there are lot of problems I am facing developing the whole game. I have drawn the Board and the two players can play. The players numbers can fill the board, but I have problem implementing the winner for the game. I need to implement the hasWon() method for Horizontal win, Vertical win and Diagonal win. I also found some code examples on the net but I was unable to make it working. I have 5 classes and one interface which I m implementing. The main problem is how to implement the hasWon() method in the PlayGame class below with Horizontal, vertical and diagonal moves.
    Sorry there is so much code.
    This the interface I must implement, but now I am only implementing the int move() of this interface. I will implement the rest later after solving the winner problem with your help.
    Interface code..............

    I am sorry for all this junk code but I only understand it this way. Your urgent help is required. Looking forward to your reply.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your help but I really don't understand the table lookup algorithm. Could you please send me some code to implement that.
    I will send you the formatted code as well
    Thanks for your help.
    looking forward to your reply.

    Hi all,
    I am a student and I have a project due 20th of this month, I mean May 20, 2007 after 8 days. The project is about creating a Connect Four Game. I have found some code examples on the internet which helped me little bit. But there are lot of problems I am facing developing the whole game. I have drawn the Board and the two players can play. The players numbers can fill the board, but I have problem implementing the winner for the game. I need to implement the hasWon() method for Horizontal win, Vertical win and Diagonal win. I also found some code examples on the net but I was unable to make it working. I have 5 classes and one interface which I m implementing. The main problem is how to implement the hasWon() method in the PlayGame class below with Horizontal, vertical and diagonal moves.
    Sorry there is so much code.
    This the interface I must implement, but now I am only implementing the int move() of this interface. I will implement the rest later after solving the winner problem with your help.
    Interface code..............
    interface Player {
    void init (Boolean color);
    String name ();
    int move ();
    void inform (int i);

    // BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    int player1;
    System.out.println ("What is your Number, player 1?");
    player1 = scan.nextInt();
    System.out.println ("Hey number"+player1+" are you prepared to CONNECT FOUR");
    System.out.println();
    return player1;
    //Player.move();
    //return player1;
    }//end move method
    public void init (Boolean color)
    public void inform (int i)
    public String name()
    return "Koonda";
    }//end player1 class
    Player2 class...........................

  • IPhone 4 reset itself, photos lost -URGENT HELP NEEDED

    Hi there,
    Urgent help needed!!
    Tonight I was taking extremely important photos throughout an event on my iPhone 4, however, my iPhone 4 ran out of battery once I was near a charger I plugged it in and for some reason my iPhone had reset itself. Back up icloud options were from yesterday, but the photos that I was taking at the event are needed urgently. Is there any way possible I can recover the photos that were taken?
    Thanks in advance!!!!
