If you have forgotten your passcode lock is the only way to unlock is from the original computer?

If you have forgotten your passcode lock is the only way to unlock the phone to connect to the original computer? Is there no way to connect to itunes? HELP!

Restoring as a new device means you will loose everything. You can restore from a backup, but if that backup includes the same passcode you cannot remember now, then it will just put it back in place and you will be right back where you are. If the backup does NOT include the passcode currently on the device, you can restore from that backup.
If restoring as new, you will loose any pictures in camera roll not already saved somewhere else (like your computer). You will loose any contacts also not already saved somewhere else.
Once you've restored the iPhone though, you can re-sync the contacts and other content from your backup copies on your computer. iTunes and App store content can always be redownloaded.

How do you change your rescue email if you have forgotten your security questions?

I've had my IPad for about 2 years now and I have bought a lot of apps since but all of a sudden it asks me to answer my security questions whenever i try to buy an app! I click the link to the apple Id page and it says resend security information to my email. apparently the end of my email ends with yahoo.com and whenever I log on to that it's yahoo.ca and I cannot find the email with the instructions to change my security questions!! So please me as this has never occurred before! How do you change your rescue email if you have forgotten your security questions? And can you somehow purchase apps without answering your security questions because I just put 25 dollars onto my apple id and I don't want it to go to waste! Please help me!

You won't be able to change the rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

Verizon is using the Elipsis tablets to steal data from their customers. The only way to stop data from registering as cellular data is to pull the SIM card. This occurs with wifi enabled and cellular,dara disabled. If,you take your tablet to a Verizonstore they will upgrade your data plan to cover the overage and credit the upgrade. You will then have to remember to downgrade your plan or continue to pay for more data. Verizon, how would you feel if I walked into one of your stores and started filling my pockets with merchandise? If cought can I just give the product back and say "oops, sorry"

Today, my FCC complaint hit the same person working on the BBB complaint. Jimmie has been very nice and seems willing to work with this problem. We have been able to come to an agreement. I paid the purchase price for the phone and he returned my upgrade and unlimited data plan. This is what would have occurred if Verizon had given me correct information to begin with. I am happy with this result. He also brought quite a few instances concerning the handling of my transfer and upgrade that did not follow proper procedure. I am also confident that I would not have resolved this without complaining to BBB and or FCC. Verizon had no interest in solving the problem nor did they show any propensity to keeping a 20 year client. Even though this last CSR was very polite and helpful, his sole job is to respond to formal Federal and State complaints. He is required by law to address every complaint and report the reporting agency the agreed upon results - good or bad. Again, I suggest - If you are not getting the proper customer service, complain to someone outside of Verizon. Jimmie had not received any complaints registered with Verizon directly and I still have not had any contact with any other management representative that I was told would call.

It is unclear the advantage to pre-ordering the new iPhone 5. What I have read is that it will ship on the 21st? If so the only way to get one on the 21st is go stand in line. Please correct me if I am wrong.

if you don't have time to stand in line or don't want to risk getting there too late and leaving empty handed from the apple store preordering will guarantee you one but possibly in a slightly longer timeframe

If you have forgotten your security question how can you change them?

Have not had to use this option so I really have forgot all about setting this up till the other day.. But when this come up that I did have to use I found out I forgot what I had use.. Stupid me.. Any way I did get my password rest and thought changing this would be simple inside my account.. Wrong... Appears you have also know your old one to change it.. Now this is so stupid.. I don't want to have to pay for support to have apple to reset this option.. Does any one know if Apple has a Email support to help with issue like this.. I may never need this option again but really it was a pain to get around it.
Thanks Everyone

Contact Apple, they can reset the security question infomation and you shouldn't need to pay for support on this. There is no troubleshooting your paying for, you're just having assistance for account security

[Fix] Windows 8 and 8.1: Easy fix for when you have forgotten your password.

Don't worry, It happens to everyone at some point. ;-)
If you are running Windows 8 or 8.1 you may be able to reset your password from another PC on the Microsoft website. This only works if you use a live account. If you do, you can access the password reset here: Microsoft Password Reset.
If you use a local account you can reset the password in the Command Prompt by following these steps:
Shut down the computer.
Turn on the PC and start repeatedly tapping F11 right away until it prompts you for your keyboard layout.
Select your keyboard layout.
Select Troubleshoot.
Select Advanced Options.
Select Command Prompt.
Type the following into command prompt: copy c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe c:\
Press enter and it should confirm that 1 file was copied.
Type the following into command prompt: copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe
Confirm by pressing Y and hitting enter.
Close the command prompt and select Turn off your PC.
Turn on the PC.
Click the Ease of Access icon in the bottom left hand corner of the login screen. You will now notice that the icon will now open the command prompt instead of Ease of Access options.
In this command prompt window type: net user "yourusername" "yournewpassword" (without the quotes). NOTE: The username should show on the login screen, and is typically your name. If you're having trouble type net user and hit enter to see a list of users on the PC. For example, for me the actual command I would type would be: net user greatdekutree password123
Close the command prompt.
Log in with the password you chose for step 13. VOILA!
Now that you're back in we should get your Ease of Access settings back. It's pretty much the same few steps we did before but switch the commands:
Shut down the computer.
Turn on the PC and start repeatedly tapping F11 right away until it prompts you for your keyboard layout.
Select your keyboard layout.
Select Troubleshoot.
Select Advanced Options.
Select Command Prompt.
Type the following into command prompt: copy c:\utilman.exe c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe
Confirm by pressing Y and hitting enter.
Close the command prompt and select Turn off your PC.
I would also suggest that you create a password backup reset disc or USB drive now that you're back in Windows. See here for help with this: How to Create a Password Reset Disk on a USB Flash Drive in Windows 8 and 8.1.

Thank you both for your help...I have two questions related to this problem. The first one is do I lose any functionality by moving to the basic setting? That question is more out curiousity than anything. I also was reading that sometimes this problem in Windows 8 can be caused by video card drivers not being up to date. Do you all think updating my drivers maybe a good idea before trying the basic fix? I had assumed (bad idea) that because it was a new computer the drives would be up to date but from reading, I learned that is not always the case. Thanks again. Kirsten

How do I get all of the music on my computer to transfer to my Iphone? For some reason, itunes has picked up some songs but not others. example, I have several CD's loaded in which only 1 or 2 songs from the CD shows up in itunes.

I have about 70 Cd's loaded on my computer as I had previously owned another MP3 device before I got enamored with the Ipad and Iphone. My problem is itunes will not recognize all of this music. To give a specific example, I have an old Bon Jovi Cd "crossroads" , itunes only recognizes 2 songs off the Cd. How can I get itunes to recognize these songs? They do not show up on itunes anywhere but if i go to my music folder I can locate the songs and it even shows the itunes logo but, the songs will not play with itunes. I've got a few hours of music i would like to have on my iphone. Can anyone please help me with this?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything on the computer, then sync.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone to your computer - File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
