I set up a restriction code and forgot what it was. How can i recover this?
Sorry, but you can't recover the restriction code. You'll need to restore the iPad as a new device. Do not use a backup file during the restore; the restriction code is stored as part of the backup.
Regards.

Can't restrict an app because there is a restricton passcode that no one knows. Can't reset phone without it. Can't reset it in apple id mangement because she did a typo in her email address when setting the phone up. I would just create that email but "live" is no longer a usable domain. What do i do? Oh and the phone was given to her by someone who was getting a new phone so there is no warranty or insurance or anything of that nature.

I set a code for volume limit and forgot what it was....wat do i do?
help me
To reset the code, you will need to select the iPod in iTunes and click Restore.
This will erase the iPod and restore the iPod OS (and remove the screen lock and volume lock codes). -
iPod 5 generation. ios 8.1.2
I forgot the restrictions code, and I'm trying to reset my iPod, but because of restrictions, it won't let me! I cannot do the thing with the computer, because I never backed it up on a PC before. I've also tried the so-called 'default' code, and it didn't work, either.There is no default code.
- Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes. For how to restore: iTunes: Restoring iOS software
You have to either:
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.

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. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times. -
for some reason i have more than one apple id, not sure how, must have set one up ages ago and forgot about it. can i delete one, or merge them? how do i know im not going to lose info if i delete one account?
You can neither merge or delete them. Pick one and stop using the other. If they both have purchases associated with them you will have to keep using both.

if i used the same apple id and email to set up both my ipad and ipod what can i do to be able to use face time to call from one device to the other
They can share an Apple ID, but each device must use a different email address when setting up FaceTime. Create a gmail email (or hotmail, or ...) address and use that on one of the devices when you setup FaceTime.
You don't actually have to use the 'new' email address, it is probably just used as an index to reference the correct device when initiating a call via the FaceTime server. -

My keychains haven't been working so I deleted something and I forgot what it was
My keychains haven't been working so I deleted something and I forgot what it was, but it was obviously something big and now my mac is saying that it cannot find a place to store a keychain or there is no keychain available or something along those lines. I need help with this problem ASAP. This is how this problem started:
1) A couple days ago i changed my password and turned my computer off.
2) Today I powered up my mac and it says "This application would like to use keychains please enter your keychain login."
3) I didn't know what the password was so I went on Safari and the messages kept popping up.
4) I went on Safari typed in my problem and it came up with a question similar to mine on an apple webpage.
5) I clicked the webpage and it was telling me these steps to follow to make the pop up messages stop and how to reset the keychain login password
6) I followed the steps and one of the steps were to delete something so i did
7) I then tried to reset my default keychain but it said "This specified keychain could not be found"
8) so i got worried and restarted my computer and it still had the pop ups and i had to relog into my account.
9) I got relogged into my account and the messages kept popping up.
So now i come to you all smart mac users asking for your help and ASAP. Please help me I don't know what i did and i want my mac back to the way it was.
HELP ME!!!! Answer ASAP PLEASE I NEED YOU SMART PEOPLE!!!!!Hello Chewey
Best thing to do here would be to reset your keychain to factory default. I’ll explain below. But first let me explain the consequences: doing the action below means that your iMac will forget your passwords until you enter them again once more. Think email passwords, wifi passwords, website passwords etc. You don’t have to change all these passwords, you will have to simply enter them once more, so hopefully you either know them by heart or wrote them down in a safe place at one point.
Either way, I think at this point you have little choice, as your description makes me think your keychain is completely broken anyway unfortunately.
So here we go:
1/ click on the Finder and locate the menu called “go” in the upper left corner of your computer display. For reference, this will be somewhere to the right of the classic -menu. Once found, click on it and select: “Go To Folder”
2/ Type the line below in the box that appears, including the ~ (or copy-paste it from here of course) and click the [GO]-button.
~/library/
3/ Now the Finder will enter a folder with a lot of technical-looking folders. Scroll around until you find the folder called “Keychains” Move this entire folder - with contents and all - to the trash.
4/ Once trashed (you don’t have to empty the trash if you don’t want to) restart your computer via: > restart. If this doesn’t work (might happen if a lot of password prompts are hanging around for example) just forcefully restart it this once.
Your issue should be solved and you’re now left with the slight chore of re-entering your passwords one-by-one as your computer asks for them. -

I had to change my Apple ID password because I forgot what it was. Now, my account doesn't have the itunes money in it that was there on my last visit. How do I find my funds?
ChrisJ4203,
Thank you for the help. Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID. I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone. In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one. My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID. Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

HT1212 my daughter set a pass code and forgot it how can i turn it on
ipad locked out after daughter put a pass code and forgoy it
Restore it http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If it ask for the passcode when restoring, the last thing to do is take it to a apple store where they have unlimited access to all apple device restores without any passcode verification -
