I want to clear my settings and have forgot my passcode

You will need to try to restore your iPhone from the same computer that you most recently synced to.

If you can't do the restore then you will need to try Recovery Mode.

    Want to reset factory settings but recovery drive is not recognized

    If you can't perform a system recovery from the hard drive, you will need to order recovery disks from HP for your laptop.
    Here is a link to HP's support page:
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/drivers.html
    If you type in your laptop model number, it will bring up a list of drivers and such for your laptop. If HP has recovery media available for your laptop, there will be an option on that page to purchase it.

  • *** I want to clear my cache, but..........

    I would like to clear 3.96gb of cache files out of my system folder to speed things up on my computer, but wonder if it's okay to trash all the files in there. I'm guessing yes, but wanted to check.
    Here is the path that I would like to delete:
    Finder>HD>Users>Myusername>Library>Caches
    Is it safe to delete everything in there?

    I hesitate recommending to do it, as I don't know if emptying files which are currently being written by the same user could potentially leave one with a partially corrupted cache file.
    I've seen persistently corrupting cache files after attempting to remove cache files from there.

  • Sound problem: I want to restore factory settings, but...

    My iPhone 4S is having all kind of sound-related bugs, and I'd like to restore it to factory settings, hoping to get rid of these problems.
    But I've read many times, that iOs 8 and 4s are not a good match.
    Is there any way I can restore my iPhone to factory settings, but stay in iOs 7?

    No - sorry. Once you restore your device to Factory Settings, the latest iOS will download to the device.

  • I only wanted to restore my settings but i ended up restoring everything (i.e. all data got deleted), how can i get my pictures and books back?

    How can i return my phone back to what it was 10 minutes ago and no i haven't backed up my phone since last year so i do a restore from what i have in my computer, this will only return my phone back to what it was a year ago. please help.

    If you haven't backed the device up in a year, and you did not copy the pictures and other data  off before restoring it, then your stuff is gone.
    It is important that you back up your data, just like with your computer, regular backups are vital for recovering data when things happen.

  • Found computer after wipe, but forgot my passcode. Any way to recover to use the computer??

    I wiped my laptop after I spilled water in it and thought it was fried. It is back up and working and it wiped. Now I cant remember my passcode. Is there a way to get it, so I can start using my laptop again?

    Then I apologize for derailing your attempts to get assistance you really need.
    I can request this be moved to the appropriate sub-forum (Lion, Snow Leopard) to get it back into the sights of those who can help ... and do NOT put an "Answered" on this thread until you do get your answer or some will not even bother.

  • I wanted to reset all settings in my phone, but it requires passcode. I forgot it, unfortunately. What can I do? I am using iphone 5s.

    I can't add video on instagram. It always fails. I read on the web that i shoul reset all settings. So I wanted to reset all settings. But it requires passcode. I forgot that passcode. What can I do? Is it possible to change that passcode?

    To change the passcode if you have forgotten it the only option is to Restore your iPhone to Factory settings by connecting it to iTunes on your computer. And you can try the below steps to Reset your iPhone settings without need of any passcode.
    Reset ( No Data will be lost )
    First Make sure the Battery of your iPhone is Charged and then press and Hold the On/Off switch (On top  of your iPhone) and the Home Button (Button at the bottom of your iPhone screen). Hold both the keys simultaneously for atleast 10 to 15 seconds and you should see an Apple Logo coming up on your screen, once you see the Apple logo you can then release both On/Off switch and Home button and wait for your iPhone's Home screen.
    After your iPhone is Reset try to do what you were trying and see if it works or else you will have to Backup your iPhone and then Restore your iPhone to fix your issue as Restoring device fixes many of the issues

    I have a GalaxyS5 and want to clear out some memory.  All my pics are in the cloud but I don't want to keep all of them.  After I sort and cull how to I move the keepers to my external hard drive?  Can I do this directly from the cloud?

    rwethereyet,
    Keeping your pictures safe is definitely important! Once you have synced the saved pictures to your phone you can transfer them from the phone to your computer. Are you using the Verizon Cloud Desktop app?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If you have the cable, just connect it to both and the desktop will show up on the external display. Then, you can select different modes, changing arrangement in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement, or using shortcuts > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5019

  • HT201274 I was given an iphone 4s by my sister as she got a new one, now i want to clear it so that i can set it up with my own details, if i erase all content and settings will this affect anything on her new iphone as it is synced to the same gmail acco

    I was given an iphone 4s by my sister as she got a new one, now i want to clear it so that i can set it up with my own details, if i erase all content and settings will this affect anything on her new iphone as it is synced to the same gmail account

    her contacts are connected directly with the Google Server so as long as they are saved to her Gmail account she should be 100% fine.. the only contacts she may lose are the ones that she added directly onto the phone and did not sync to her Gmail account.. so you should just double check with her on that
