I was recently locked out from my iPhone.

I was recently locked out from my iPhone. I dont want to wipe it totally though. Help?

The only methods are described in the this article.  Your data will be erased, but if you backed up your phone to either iCloud or iTunes, you can then restore the backup with your data.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

  • HT1414 I was recently locked out of my I Phone and had to have it restored at the Apple Store.  My question is, how do I restore all of my contacts from my Macbook?  Is it possible to restore my contacts without restoring everything else?

    I recently had to have my I Phone restored and unfortunately lost my contacts along with everything else.  My wife and I share a MacBook.  Is it possible to download our contact list onto my I Phone without downloading all of my wifes calendar, notes, etc...?  If so, how would I go about doing that?  I appreciate any help.  Thanks.

    Restore the device from the most current backup on the computer it normally syncs with.
    Now, that being said, unless you were syncing your contacts to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service, it is very likely they are gone.

  • Locked out of my iPhone 4 but iTunes won't let me restore it. Help!

    I'm locked out of my iPhone 4 but when I try to connect it to iTunes to unlock and restore it, iTunes is requiring me to enter my passcode on my phone, which the phone won't let me do because I'm locked out. Help please!?

    You need to restore using the computer you previouisly synced with, otherwise you'll be asked for the passcode.
    You didn't forget your passcode (that you use every day) AND lose the computer you sync with on the same day, right?  In that case, get the passcode from the phone's actual owner, or use recovery mode.

  • I got locked out from my iPad mini during setup, keep ask me for passcode but I didn't set one up.  Reboot unsuccessful, iTune won't let me connect because I didn't enter my passcode. How to fix this?

    I got locked out from my iPad mini during my initial setup.  Keep ask me for passcode but I haven't setup one.  Reboot and restart didn't solve the problem, tried connect to iTunes but it won't let me because it requires the passcode.  Tried my Exchanged password, Apple ID password and my iPhone passcode but none work.  Any idea to resolve this?

    Try and force your iPad into 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.

  • A song I purchased on iTunes has dropped out from my iPhone - but it still shows purchased in iTunes...but it won't let me download it again.

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • Locked out from Apple ID

    I couldn't answer a security question, and I was locked out from my Apple ID. It said I couldn't change my password for 8 hours nor could I make any purchases. Would my apple ID be returned to normal after the 8 hours, or am I permanently locked out from my Apple ID?

    Hi jjang_maya
    Your Apple ID is not permanently disabled. You can contact AppleCare Support by phone for enabling your Apple ID and resetting your security questions / password.
    Kind regards

  • I got locked out of my iphone and it says i had to connect to itunes but how do i fix it now

    i got locked out of my iphone and it said i had to come to itunes to fix this and now i cant figure out how to reenable my iphone can anybody help me?

    Start iTunes on the computer you used to setup/backup the iPhone, connect the USB end of the cable to the computer, then while holding the home button on the iPhone connect the dock connector end to the iPhone.  That will put you in recovery mode and iTunes should see the iPhone.  Then proceed to restore from backup as that will remove the passcode and allow you to access the iPhone.

  • HT4972 Im locked out of my Iphone 4 help me cant restore

    PLEASE someone help Im locked out of my iphone 4 the password is not the one i thought so can i byepass the passcode with out restore

    1. Start iTunes on your computer (be sure it's up to date).
    2. Plug cable into USB port on the computer, not an external hub or keyboard port.
    3. Connect cable to phone.
    4. Press both home and power buttons until the Apple logo appears, then continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes detects the phone in recovery mode.

  • HT1296 I recently purchased songs from my iphone.  All good...  But I then went to put them on my ipod touch.  They seemed to have downloaded but the songs wont play and the song title/the text, appears in a grey colour.

    I recently purchased songs from my iphone.  All good...  But I then went to put them on my ipod touch.  They seemed to have downloaded but the songs wont play and the song title/the text, appears in a grey colour and there is a downlaod symbol in front of the song title.  what do i do next??  They play on my iphone and from the itunes library but not from my ipod touch.

    If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
    If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

    I am locked out of my iphone. In resetting my passcode I must have hit a wrong digit, because the 4 digits I thought I used Don't work (and of course not my old passcode). I have tried the instructions both for "if you have previously synced your device with iTunes" and "If you have Never synced your device with iTunes" . Neither has worked and I'm in a vicious circle with each time after lengthy downloads it still all ends with the program, & my phone, asking for my passcode to proceed.  I'm not sure if I have ever synced to my mac book (i may have) but my address book seems to automatically update on both devices without the need to plug in. Thank you for any knowledgable help that could efficiently get me  out of this passcode ****!

    Hi DRussell,
    If you have not sync'd your device to your Mac then you will have to force the phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device. Read the information in this link and follow the instructions to recover the phone:

    I am locked out of my Iphone. It says to log into my itunes to unlock. I log into my itunes and it says to put my password into my phone but I can't it just goes to the emergency call, How do I unlock my phone?

    Place the iPhone into Recovery mode. If successful, this will require restoring the iPhone with iTunes which is required anyway in this situation.

    i was trying to change from my iphone 4 to my new iphone 5, and i backed up my contacts onto iclould, when i restored my iphone 5 on my computer, the contacts were wiped from both devices, how do i recover the contacts?

    On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
    Make sure Contacts is switched ON. It may take a few minutes for the data to sync via Wi-Fi.
    If you are using iCloud, there's no need to connect your iPhone to a computer via iTunes to sync your contacts.
