IPhone 4S : I have reset and forgot my passcode to get into my phone. I have guessed my pass code so many times that i have completely enabled my iPhone 4S. How do i take care of this on an iTunes account?

I have the iPhone 4S, and have only had it 5 days. Two days ago, I accidently reset my passcode and did not write it down. I have no idea what the passcode is, and have tried so many times that i have totally enabled my phone, and it says connect to iTunes to take care of it but i have no idea how. PLEASE HELP ME

Connect your iPhone to your computer and launch the iTunes app if not already launched.
Since you have never synced your iPhone with iTunes on your computer which can include much more than music, more than likely you will be prevented from restoring the iPhone with iTunes the normal way. This prevents someone from syncing your iPhone with iTunes on another computer in the event your iPhone was lost or stolen.
If you are prompted to enter your passcode when connecting your iPhone to iTunes on your computer, you must place your iPhone into recovery mode. If successful, this will require restoring the iPhone with iTunes - as a new iPhone. iTunes creates and maintains a backup for the iPhone when syncing, which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process, but since you don't know the passcode and you have never synced your iPhone with iTunes on your computer, a backup will not be created. You will lose data on your iPhone such as contacts, notes, calendar events, etc.

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

HT201210 I was in the middle of installing the new update using the wifi at a local restaurant when I lost the wifi signal and my iPhone shut down, and now I can't get into the phone. I only get the iTunes logo with the cable pic. What are my options now?

Your only option is to connect your iPhone to your computer via USB (as the diagram indicates) and restore using iTunes.

HT203977 is there any way to restore factory settings on an Iphone 5s that will not connect to Itunes because the phone is locked with a pass code. Problem is that the screen is completely shattered.

If the screen is completely shattered why bother to try and restore the phone?

Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

my lock button is broken
If your lock button is broken, the only solution is to get the phone replaced or repaired. There is no way to reset the phone without a functioning lock button.
and im at work so i cant get the serial number to you

How do i take 2 devices off of my itunes account and get separate account

I have a itunes account for my iphones and my kids each have a ipod touch. I want to take them off my account so they can create their own for downloading apps without me having to log into itunes for them. How do you do this?

You can go into Settings>Store and sign out of one account and sign into another one. You account will still have to be used to to update any apps purchased with your account.
You can create a new account without a CC by:
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Note that the minimum age for an account is 13.

I press reset and now i can't get into router interface?

Yestoday i was just experimenting with my router. I set up a restriction for 12am to 12:05am to see if it will block my sister's internet just for the fun.
However it did not work.
Today my internet was slow because of my sister's laptop. Probably downloading some soft of content. I decide to press the reset button therefore her connection would be taken off.
However now i want to fix that. I understand how to get into my router's interface:
-By going to my computer and then typing 192.168.1.1 on top...
-Yestoday when i did that it worked. I was able to get into router interface, but now i can't. It gives me "cannot find server"
I don't understand why i can't get into my router's set up~
Can this be fixed?

it might be that the reaosn why you're not accessing up the router's set-up page is because the computer connected to it is not getting a valid IP adress already...
to check this...
go to START, then RUN
type in cmd
in the command line, type in ipconfig
take note of your IP adress... that's the computer IP adress..
Now, take note of your default gateway... that is equivalent to your router's IP adress...
in the same window, type in (ping default gateway #) ping 192.168.1.1 . if it replies, then your router's interface should be able to open up
launch internet explorer, then type in http://192.168.1.1

How do I take off another user off my iTunes account? It's a x family member and we share one iTunes account but I'm the main person on it.

A ex family member is under my iTunes account and I need to try to remove him but can't figure it out.

You can edit the information on your Apple account in a number of places (they all link together)
On Apple.com - http://store.apple.com/us/account/home
On the Apple ID Website - https://appleid.apple.com
On iTunes - Choose Store > 'View Account' from the Menu Bar.
On an iOS Device - Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store > Tap on the 'Apple ID' > Tap 'View Apple ID'
Good Luck!

How do I take credit card information off my iTunes account?

I just bought a new iPhone and had to update all my Apple ID information. It did not give me the option to opt out of including my credit card info. so I put it in. I bought $25 iTunes card and thought that if I booth the app it would automatically ask for the iTunes code. It didn't so I got charged on my credit card witch it now negative. After I figured that out I put the $25 on my iTunes the right way with no issues. Today I the app I purchased said I need to update it but as I to update is instantly brings up my credit card info. and says there is a precious purchase issue that needs to be resolved. How do I take the credit card off? Do I need to put money on my card in order to clear things up? And would erasing my card also erase the app I bought?

First you will have to take care of the outstanding balance. Then you can only adjust the payment method in iTunes on the comptuer, not on the phone.
To take care of the balance, you will have to contact iTunes support. http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html No one here can help you with this.

HT1918 How can i take a credit card off my itunes account?

I cannot update any of my apps on my iPhone because it says there is a billing problem with a recent purchase. I've never purchased anything on my iPhone from the app store, but i have entered a credit card number on it. I was wondering how to get on my iTunes account and remove the credit card from it, so that i can update all of my apps.
Would removing the credit card fix the problem? And if so, how do i do it?

Computer -
iTunes - Opened
Store - Which is located at the top left
View Account - Enter your Apple ID password [If prompted]
Billing Information - Click Edit
iOS Device -
Settings
iTunes & App Store
View Apple ID
