  • HT1212 My iphone is disabled after entering the wrong passcode.Followed the steps by connecting to itunes on my computer but still not helpful.Instead getting a message saying that i must turn off my icloud on iphone before i can resrore my device.

    My iphone is disabled.Followed the steps in itunes after connecting to my computer but getting a message saying that i must turn off 'find my iphone''  on my device before i can restore it.Impossible for me to do that because i obviously have no access to my device.Can anyone help me with this problem please?

    I think you should call via phone or perhaps take it to a phone store. I suggest taking your id, box packaging and other necessities such as the reciept of the phone being purchased.
    Hope this helped

  • IPhone remains disabled after Lost Mode turned off by owner

    Hi, my phone (iPhone 4, iOS7) was returned to me after I activated Lost Mode on iCloud. I have turned off Lost Mode on Find My iPhone, but my phone still shows 'iPhone is disabled' and I can only swipe to emergency calling. iTunes 'could not connect to the iPhone because it is locked and in Lost Mode’. Its location is accurate on iCloud/plays sounds so my 3G is fine. Please help, this is a real locked out owner and I am all ready to put in my legit Apple ID details and 4 digit passcode to enter my own (missing-and-found) iPhone.
    50 miles to nearest Apple store! T_T
    Thanks!

    If disabled, you'll either have to force into recovery mode & restore it, as described here:

    Or, login to iCloud.com, from your computer, find the phone, the erase it.

  • I have updated to 6.1and now the iPhone doesn't accept the pin code

    The iPhone is deactivated for one hour and I can' enter the pin code

    Maybe you should ask the rightful owner what the code is.

  • My iPhone is disabled after I downloaded iOS7. They are asking me a passcode even I never set up.

    I never set up a passcode on my iPhone 4 why they are asking me to do?
    My iPhone is still disabled since I downloaded iOS 7 this morning.

    That happened to me and it was a mess, install it at work with there wifi and it disabled my phone.  I do not have internet at home or a computer, just my iphone and ipad.  You will nee either itunes and a computer, or you will have to have your ime number, then you have to erase your phone. to do that you go to find my phone and it will give you that option.  Then when you erase your phone, then you have to call your carrier and they hook it up again to the inernet.   Those are the only two ways you can do it.  If you have icloud already you don't lose everything just your music.  your apps just go to update and you can reload them again.

  • What should I do when iPhone says "iPhone Is Disabled"?

    I'm using an iphone 4s with a latest update (ios7). I tottaly forgotten the pasccode. I couldn't recall the password even after a day of thinking. My iphone ended up showing " iPhone is disabled" after several times of entering the wrong password. The iOS7 doesn't show the time remaining for the next passcode attempt. It took me approximately 1 minute to retry my next attempt. The second,third,.....time was about 10, 30minutes and so on. I think i've reached the maximum number of attemps. It has been 6 hours now and it still shows "iPhone is disabled". After trying my last attempt ( i guess it's the last attempt), I found a few video tutorials ( ios7 new bug) that show me how to access photo album even without entering the passcode. I saved a picture of my phone's password in my photo album the night after changing it. Are there any ways that could help me to remove "iphone is disabled" so that my phone will be back to normal and I can access my photo album using the new trick that i found on youtube?? I read several sources saying that when i connect my phone to itunes ( computer that I've synced before ), i'll be able to re-enter my password. I just want to remove the "iphone is diabled" icon from my iphone so that it'll show "slide to unlock" and i'll use the trick to access my photo album. If that's not possible, how do I restore my phone without losing all the data.
    1) i need to find a way to enter password
    2) restore phone without losing data.
    PLEASE HELP ME. I HAVE SO MANY EXTREMELY IMPORTANT VIDEOS IN IT. HELPPPPPP

  • IPhone 5s disabled. Please help me. Thank you.

    Hello. My iPhone got disabled after entering the password 8-10 times wrong. I didn't synchronize it to iTunes nor back up. I keep seeing that I have to format it but I don't want to lose my data on it. Is there any way to recover my data ? If there is can you help me? Thank you.

    Sorry if you haven't been backing up to icloud or iTunes then there is no data to recover.
    You will need to proceed with the restore in order to use your phone again.   Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

  • How many times can you enter the wrong pin code on an iphone before it resets?

    How many times can you enter the wrong pin code on an iphone before it resets itself?

    Hey Robin.T,
    Thanks for the question. The following article provides the answer to your question:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you enter the wrong passcode six or more times, you'll see a message that says one of the following:
    iPhone is disabled
    iPad is disabled
    iPod touch is disabled
    You can also set your passcode lock to wipe the device after 10 unsuccessful attempts (Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Erase Data)
    Thanks,

  • Iphone disabled after 7.1.2

    Hi, I had never used an access code on my iphone 4 when I ordered it last week to install update 7.1.2. After the installation I pressed the bottom front button and got a screen that asked for an access code. Innocently I entered a 4 digit code that I often use for other things. When that didn't work I entered the pin code of the SIM card, then another pincode, then again the code I had entered first. Alas, nothing works and now my Iphone is disabled and unfortunately I have never made a back up, not because I didn't want, but because I didn't know I had to. Who can help: I DON'T WANT TO LOSE EVERYTHING STORED ON MY PHONE...?

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
