I set the login passcode and now my phone is jacked.

I can navigate around my phone and use it just fine, until it randomly freezes. Also, I cannot for the life of me get in to disable the passcode. I know this is causing the problem because everything was working perfectly until I set the passcode lock. I can get as far as Settings > General > But it freezes when I click Passcode Lock, changes to blue and then nothing happens. I can get into other areas inside the General settings just not the ONE I need to.

you don't want to get locked out because that will force you to do a restore and if you don't have a back up you might lose some of your stuff. so first is backup:
1. back up your iphone, do an itunes backup

2. hard reset
home button and sleep/wake button hold till you see the apple logo.
test to see if it still freezes
if that doesn't help do a restore and ste up as new by following this article:

after setting up as new try the passcode lock again and see if ti works. if it still messes up go to expresslane.apple.com and set up a call back.

That's because the device has not been synced to that computer. As per my earlier instructions... you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

Oh no Mr.Ected!
I can see if we can get your phone back on! I understand how important it is to have a phone. Have you tried this to see if we can get it back on? http://vz.to/1DZhteH . If it is still goes to a red Verizon screen and then to black we might need to do a master reset. While the phone is off try this:http://vz.to/1DZhXkU Be mindful this is the last resort because it will erase everything on the phone. If you have done back up assistant in the past you will be able to get you contacts back. Please let me know if you need any more help.

Updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reacticate it

updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reactivate it.
Every time i connect it to itunes all it says is "There is no SIM card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate." Even thought there is a sim card connected in my phone.

Is the SIM from a supported carrier?
Is the device carrier locked, officially unlocked, or hacked to be unlocked?
Has the SIM been reseated? If not, try that.
Also, basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore. Has any of that been tried?

I can not connect to my home Wi-fi. I put the wrong passcode in severall times and now it says that I am not able to use my home internet. How do I get back to the place where I can put in the correct passcode and connect. Not sure what to do and really don't want to take my phone back to sprint.

Click the blue button next to the wifi name, then hit Forget Network.
Then try to connect again and use correct password.

my iphone is disabled. how do I restore it?

You'll have to use a computer to restore your phone. If you hold down the home button while plugging your phone into your computer itunes should recognize that it is in recover mode. Then you'll have to restore the phone as new.

HT201412 ok i did the new update and now my phone wont even start up! the apple logo comes up then the screen will flash and the phone will shut off. any ideas?

as listed in the title, my phone just flashes on me no start up just flashes from the apple logo to shutting off and back and forth i did the update this afternoon (9-26-2012) and it still wont start up!!!

Something in your backup may be corrupt. Try wiping it and setting it up as a new device, then sync your apps, data and media back to it from iTunes. DO NOT resotre from your backup. If the problem is contained in the backup, it will bring it right back again if you restore.

Need help.. changed the password on my phones,, it won't take the new password and now my phone is disabled.. what do i do now?can't restore it caz i can't get in to it to shut off find my phone life iTunes is telling me to do. what do i do now???

Hi yana79,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know that it can be frustrating when your iPhone becomes disabled due to passcode. In this situation, if you cannot remember your passcode, you will need to restore. If you have a backup in either iTunes or iCloud, you can restore from that backup. Keep in mind that the backup you restore from will have the passcode attached to it that was enabled at the time of the backup. Please use the attached article for more information.
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
Best regards,

I did the latest update and now my phone screen is stuck on trying to connect to iTunes

After uploading the latest update, my iPhone is frozen on a screen that shows a power cord with an arrow pointing to iTunes. when I try to turn the phone off, the screen goes blanks theNetherlands Apple symbol comes on and thenit goes back to the iTunes screen.

You need to connect your phone to a computer with iTunes, and restore it to factory settings. You can then restore the device using a previous backup (if you have one).

I set the login passcode and now my phone is jacked.
