I tried to reset my phone but it didnt work. I plugged it in but it doesnt do anything it just sits there with a scroller on the screen.
Try this:
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, 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.
* If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information. -
i changed the password on my phone and now i cant remember what it was and im locked out. is there anything i can do that doesnt erase all the data on my phone? help please..
In that case, you will have to install iTunes on the computer, put the phone into recovery mode, and restore it as a new device. It will be wiped. Everything on it will be lost.
There is no way to bypass a forgotten lock code. If there were, it wouldn't be much good. -
Ive just recently reinstalled both my pc's and now i cant recreate my sync acount.
How can i work around this ??Contact the App store for Apple ID help. Their support link is on the right of the App store window

i cant find the person who sold my iphone 5 to me
now i cant activate it because it is still activated to his apple idYou have no options but to find the previous owner. The Activation Lock is an Anti-theft protection that cannot be bypassed, not even Apple. If you cannot find the previous owner, turn it in to the police as it is likely to be stolen property.

My young sister made an icloud account on my ipad and we didnt use it for months ..
Now when i tryed to reset it it seems like i need the apple id password that my sister used to activate it .
But the problem is that she forgot the password .
Any help? I can prove that this ipad is mine and i bought it .If you forgot your Apple ID password
Regardless of whether or not you purchased the iPad, the Apple ID is linked ot your sister's account.
You can sign in using your Apple ID and password on the iPad, but all content downloaded using her Apple ID will be deleted.
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store -

Sorry... No. There is no workaround for Activation lock.
The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.

Prepare Your Mac for Sale
Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button. Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button. Then click on the Erase button.
Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive. If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive. The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now complete the OS X installation. At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer. Instead just shut it off. The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box. -
And now its saying my ipod is corrupt. None of my stuff was erased from itunes it was only erased from my ipod so why am I not able to just sync everything back onto my ipod? why is it doing this now? I think this is ridiculous that just changing one name would do this much damage.
There is a backup plan after doing the Restore. Read this.

Ive updated my iPhone 3G and now i cant activate it solution?
when i try to do it it just says your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporailey unavailble. Try connecting your iphone to itunes to activate it. but i dont know how and i cant do it the other way
More than likely, your phone was jailbroken. If that's the case, it is now permanently bricked.
