I upgraded to iOS 7 and did a dumb thing

I upgraded to iOS 7. When asked to type in a 4-didit, I blithly did, not realizing what I was really doing. Later when I wanted to use the phone, it asked me for the code, which I had completely forgotten. I have tried to correct this by following Apple's various suggestions on how to change Apple ID. But no help on recoving the passcode was available. I have tried so many times that I now get the Phone is Disabled message. What can I do? I never used a passcode on any of my earlier iOS.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

I have changed operator and also changed IOS and did a back up of my old phone in Itunes so i would keep all my contacts etc. Now when i want to get everything back in the phone, Itunes asks me for a password, which i do not have. How to bypass this?

I have changed operator and also changed IOS and did a back up of my old phone in Itunes so i would keep all my contacts etc. Now when i want to get everything back in the phone, Itunes asks me for a password, which i do not have since i did not enter any password when i did the back up. Is there any way I can bypass this password request? Otherwise i have lost all my contacts etc.
Greatful for help.

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service like Gmail, iCloud, or an Exchange server.

I want to upgrade the IOS of my Cisco 2821 from Version 12.4(11) to v 15.1 (XB), but I have CCME v 4.2 (0), is there any problem if I only upgrade the IOS and leave the CCME as it ?

CME is part of the IOS, so you can't upgrade the IOS seperately from CME.
That said, if this is a production environment you should proceed with caution and be prepared to roll back as you may find bugs, etc.
You should also look at release notes and make sure your phone firmware will still work or needs to be upgraded too.

Upgraded to ios and safari crashes

Upgraded both iMac and iPad and now Safari crashes on the iPad.

Other people have also reported issues with Safari on iOS 5. See if any of the following help.
Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I had Snow Leopard and upgraded to Mavericks, and did the various up-grades. Today when I went to open iPhoto, I got a message "iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have permission to make changes to it". Now what?

I had Snow Leopard, and up-graded to Mavericks, and did the various up-grades in iPhoto to become compatible with
Maverick. Today, when I tried to open iPhoto I got this message: "iPhoto Library is locked, on a locked disk, or you do
not have permission to make chages to it". Now what? I can't access my iPhoto Library.

First open the iPhoto Library package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot:'
Look for the file named iPhotoLock.data and move it to the Trash in the Dock. Launch iPhoto and see if that helped.
If not Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

HT4972 I have music on my itouch that I did not purchase from itunes, but downloaded from CD's that I owned. If I upgrade my iOS and sync my device, will it remove that music, requiring me to reload it back onto the device?

I've found that certain apps that I desire require a certain iOS level, so to speak. However, I have been hesitant to sync my itouch (3rd generation) to itunes to upgrade, mainly because it warns me that my media will be removed. Most of the music on my device has come from CDs which I have downloaded onto my itouch and not from itunes, so the music is not on my itunes itself. Since I do not fully comprehend what "syncing" my itouch to my computer will do, I would like to be certain that if I do sync my device all media will be removed. If this is the case, then I must persue ways to back that music up before I proceed with the syncing. If you could let me know as much information about this as possible, I would be truly grateful. Thank you.

You will probably lose the music.
Why is it not on your computer?

Upgrade to IOS and ACS authentication not working

Hi. I have just upgraded my 1200AP to IOS Version 12.2(11)JA1. I am using LEAP with MAC address auth in the ACS (version 3.0). I cannot get onto LAN though. Error on ACS failed auth report says 'User Access Filtered' even though the MAC of the card is in there. I can still authenticate with AP's that are still at old version though. A debug on IOS AP shows that the ACS is replying with a FAIL auth after LEAP negotiation and the ACS interestingly gives the failed MAC address as AAAA.BBBB.CCCC (note dots between) making me think that the AP is sending it in that format instead of AAAABBBBCCCC. I cannot add the MAC to the ACS in the dotted format as it is a 12 character string. Is this a format issue with the RADIUS passthru? Has anyone any idea why this is happening? Thanks for any help in advance.

Just thought I would let you know that I have got the cause of this. This happens if MAC authentication is enabled in the ACS. Once I turned that off it worked again. I think it is due to a format error in the data sent from ap to acs.

Upgraded to IOS* and phone reverted to an old Apple ID

Hi all, I've just upgraded to IOS8 on my iPhone 5 and it's reverted to an old Apple ID that I no longer have the email for or the password. This means that I can't turn off Find My iPhone and access iCloud to delete the device and switch over the the new Apple ID.
This has also caused the password prompt to pop up every few seconds........ GRRR!
How can I shut the old Apple ID down and use the new one? Especially when the password prompt goes to an email address I no longer have access to?

Are you not just able to sign out and then sign in with your new details.

Hello Miss Moo,
If I upgraded to 10.5, would any of the problems such as misplaced files and apps, etc. in Tiger 10.4.11 interfere with the upgrade.
If it's Apple Apps, like Safari, Mail, etc., then there will be new versions to replace all the missing files/components.
The Mac OS X Installer stops with 2 minutes remaining and it can't finish copying the disc.
How much free space is on your Hard Drive?
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Were any errors reported?
That second Disc thing happens frequently, the best way around it is to do a Custom install, and eliminate enough Printer Drivers, Languages, Fonts, and Applications you don't need... then it may skip #2 altogether.

I live in Zambia and there is no itune store here.I just upgraded my ios and now i want to install apple apps but unfortunately itunes store cannot recognize Zambia in my billing plan.Somebody help because i need most of these apps which i have lost.

How can i have a billing plan if my country cannot be listed in itunes store.Is there any other way i could download apple apps without a billing plan?

The living issue is complex in my case. Legally speaking, I have no personal residence globally. I just live wherever my father goes, which is everywhere. I'm an expat and it seems that these sites aren't really expat-friendly. They seem to be built for localization and assume everyone stays in the same place.
I don't know what I'd be considered. I'm a US passport holder and live in China, but I only speak some Chinese and I can't read it (it using non-latin characters is just too much for my mind's memory to handle). Besides that, I'm not interested in popular Chinese apps. They tend to just be annoying and kooky and generic and put together badly, often full adware and spyware (speaking for most Chinese software, in fact). In fact, a lot of apps I want are illegal in China (YouTube, Facebook, etc) and I use a VPN to use the services. I assume I wouldn't find these apps on the Chinese store. In fact, last I checked, there wasn't many English apps on the Chinese app store. This is probably due to their strict moderation or something.
I've been going to international schools since I got here and college would be in English too. I can speak some Chinese, but not read it.
Well, I guess the answer is that I can't use the App Store in English. So I guess I'll just sign out everything on my phone involving my Apple account and just start using third-party tools to do my business.
