I downloaded the new ios 7 and when I restarted my Ipad it asked for a pastcode I could not remember a pascode and entered my apple id info. now my ipad is disabled and as a senior I don't know how to get my Ipad working again. Any suggestions?
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.
You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

Did/ hit something while half asleep and was asked for my recovery password, I didn't know it & not sure what I did after that but it wont boot up just searches with a light grey whit -ish screen. Cant get it to clear. Any advice?
Charlies Secret Angel-Try to boot in Safe mode, see if you are able: Hold down shift and then power on. For wireless keyboards, hold down shift after the chime.

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTunes and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER

Screen is asking for a 4 digit passcode. what is it ? i never saw it before
today my i phone display asking for a 4 digit passcode. i never had seen this before and had no passcode. i can't use my phone
Someone put it on there.
If you don't know it, you can restore your phone from the computer to which it was last synched to remove the password,
If that computer is not available, you'll have to put the phone in DFU mode and restore it as a brand new device. -
I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac through the Apple website.. I have downloaded all from the disk into my Mac, no problem with all the other Word etc, but Outlook is asking for the key number: I have put it in but its obviously not the right one...???? In the box with the disk came the product key, have put it in and it doesnt work. Please help..x
unfortunately - you can not. you can't even buy outlook by itself at microsoft's own website.
does it have to be outlook? maybe you can get away with using something else that's outlook compatible.
how about trying Thunderbird for Mac OS?
or maybe you can call apple and let them know you purchase the wrong version - they might give you a break and just pay the difference for the home and business version.
good luck -

Hi, My network went down earlier in the week. Now the network is fine, I can connect through the ethernet cable, but my macbook airport no longer detects it, when prompted, macbook will find it, but I get asked for the WAP. When I put the password in, it 'times out'. Prior to the network problem my macbook worked fine everytime. Anyone know the answer?
My guess is all the issues are probably related and fall back to malware.
AVG is probably correct in identifying malware. So I suggest you try some cleaning tools other than Emsisoft .
ones I use (all of them one after the other until I find one that can cope) are;
Roguekiller http://www.adlice.com/softwares/roguekiller/
Malwarebytes anti malware Free http://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/var2/confirm/
ESET online scanner http://www.eset.com/int/home/products/online-scanner/
So first create a clean boot in Windows using Microsoft's instructions https://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135?wa=wsignin1.0 and then run the anti malware applications.
My outside looking in guess is that malware has set itself up as an internet proxy and is is downloading copies of itself and other malware, blocking some mail port as times as downloading more malware is more important, and probably breaking your tivo as well..
Try the malware programs first. If that does not work I will try and talk you through some logging to see what is happening. -
my phone is locked and is asking for a 4digit code. I have not idea what that would be. I have entered every thing I can thing of and nothing works. Please help.
If you are unable to remember your code you will need to restore the iPhone. Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212

I locked my MacBook from my iPhone with the "find my iPhone" app and now it's asking for a 6 digit passcode
Normally, you d want to connect to computer, iphone had been synced with previously. If computer does not exist you may have to enter phone in recovery mode, just search youtube for iphone recovery.

Hi
I lost my iphone in the plane and I am now wondering what I could do to get it back. I have complained to the airline but iam not optimistic about them finding it. any experience on what to do?The only way to locate/disable/erase any lost/stolen iPhone/iPod Touch is through Find My Phone or a similar app. However, this requires that Find My Phone be setup/activated, on your phone, before it was lost/stolen. You would then login at iCloud.com & try to locate it. This requires the phone be turned on & have an Internet connection. There is no other way to locate a lost/stolen iPhone. Apple can't/won't help you, nor will your carrier. Report the loss to the Police, your carrier & Insurance company. Change all of your passwords.
If your carrier offers Blacklisting & they Blacklist the phone, it will be unusable as a phone.
If locked with a passcode, all a thief or whoever finds it has to do is force the phone into recovery mode & restore it. While this deletes all data on the phone, it also removes the passcode so the phone can then be used as a phone or touch. -
just uploaded ios 7.0.4 on phone after it was finished it asked for apple ID password for my ex's appleID , how can I change this id on phone to my apple ID seen some old messages but they were for older versions of firmware revision. Im in barbados and cant access local weather or use locating software because I couldnt enable without password and she doesnt remember it!!
thanks jdHey there JohnDent,
It sounds like your phone is associated with another Apple ID and so you cannot finish setting it up. I found this information for you from the article named:
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
If the previous owner is with you and can access the device
Ask them to enter their Apple ID and password on the Activate iPhone screen (shown above) to remove the device from their account. You can then proceed through the rest of the device setup process.
If the previous owner is not present
Contact them and ask them to follow these steps to remove the device from their account:
Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
Choose the device from their Find My iPhone device list by clicking All Devices and selecting the correct device.
Click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
After the device has been removed from the previous owner’s account, turn it off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button located on the top right side of the device. Then restart your device and proceed with device setup as you would normally.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

I lost my new apple 4S iphone I believe at Newport Village in Port Moody, BC, Canada. I immediately called my network Telus Mobility and reported the phone lost / stolen. They then put the phone on restricted service. A day later one of my friends / contacts in my phone received a call from a person who was at Newport Village and had found my iphone. The unknown person wanted Miles (my friend) to meet him at Newport Village so he can return my iphone. Unfortunately my friend was not arround to meet this unknown person who found the phone. Miles (my friend told this person that he could leave the phone at the local IGA only feet from Newport Village. I went to the IGA but to my surprise the phone was NOT there. I immediately installed the app "Find my iphone" when I first bought this new iphone 4S but everytime I check it, it says that my device is not on. So I'm wondering what the best way I can go about finding my iphone. I was told by my Telus rep that I could relay a message to the iphone offering a reward should he return it to me. Please if you can help me in any way, I would be eternally greatful. I'm on disability and on a fixed income so simply replacing the phone is not an option for me.
<Email Edited by Host>If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it. You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does. If it does, you will get an email informing you.
