HT1212 forgot passcode on iphone 5s and cannot restore it

I forgot my passcode on iphone 5s and cannot restore it. I tried the recommended methods listed on Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support but they did not worked. Every time I tried to restore it kept asking me to allow access on iphone which I forgot the passcode. I do not have find my iphone on this phone nor icloud. I am willing to lose all my datas just to get my phone back to working. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Apparently you did not follow the instructions in that article that address your issue. If you forgot your passcode, then you cannot restore it. You have to erase it by selecting the appropriate link under Erase and Restore.
Erase the device. Once it is erased, it will no longer need a passcode. If you are talking about an Activation Lock, that is a different matter. Is that what you are referring to?

Iphone 4.1 cannot restore nDrive application

I upgraded my iphone to 4.1. On my previous version I installed nDrive. For some reasons nDrive is not yet available on the iTune store. While upgrading I get the error -402653180 and nDrive is not installing.
I've payed 29€ for nDrive and now I'm not able to start from the store and update it again, maybe from the store.
I did the same thing on my fresh new ipad 3g. Same thing.
I cannot believe that Apple leave customers like me alone.
Any Ideas
Francesco

If you are talking about the Navigation app nDrive then you won`t find it on the iTunes store anymore, apple removed the app do to copyright infringement. Apple also revoked the apps certificate which is why it will no longer sync. I believe there is a workaround but you would have to Google it, It maybe worth contacting apple as you my be able to claim some if not all of the money back.

Are you aware that 4.2.1 is the last iOS version compatible with a 3G? You never could install iOS 6 on it.

Removed device from find my iphone and now cannot restore

Hi,
I use an Iphone 4s. I forgot my passcode and in the attempt to unlock it disabled it so it says " disabled and connect to itunes" but here's the problem: prior to this I removed my device from the 'find my iphone' feature and now everytime I click restore/attempt recovery it says in itunes " remove from your iphone settings find my iphone feature"! Since my phone is disabled I obviously can't do that. Please help! I need to unlock this

No it actually didn't work!
It seemed it was rebooting it but when it lit up I still got the message as if the phone had been stolen saying to contact my boyfriend!
And then when I try to set it up it says the activation server is unavailable... so it's as if I hadn't recovered it at all!
Do you have any other suggestions I could try??

IPhone 6 Plus Cannot Restore, Error 53

Device: iPhone 6 Plus
Computer OS: Windows 8.1 Single Language
iTunes Version: 12.0.1.26
Previous OS: iOS 8.0
Restoring Version OS: iOS 8.1
Error: Error 53 after Verifying the restore files, Picture
Error Code does not shown how to fix in Resolve iOS update and restore errors
Now my phone is stuck in Recovery Mode, Please Help

I purchased the phone from UAE and using it in India. I got an error code of 53 while updating the software through Itune. The phone is struck since three weeks. Hardly I used it for 10 days only. When I pointed out this to apple support they advised me to go to UAE and get it repaired/replaced there because the product has no warranty outside UAE. When I raised this problem,the reply from apple is disappointing and I have no other option except to take it to UAE.
Also apple said that u must read out the regulations prior to buy anything from UAE. I accept that, I did a mistake by buying iphone 6plus from UAE but I never expected apple will sell an inferior product in UAE. I bought so many other electronics items and phones from UAE and all t of them working so precisely and nicely except i phone 6 plus. The phone was not available in india that time and my curiosity to buy the phone in UAE backfired me. Phone price was little cheaper but that was not the case. I want a specific model 1524 which was not available in India during that period.
I do admit the mistake. But I have a big question for alpple. Apple should clarify a traveler should carry 3-4 setts of phone while he is travelling to different countries? One for UAE one for India, one for US and one for Singapore? May be Specifications changes to country to country. But it should work on GSM/LTE/CDMA.
regards.

IPhone 2.1: Cannot restore backup after upgrade?

OK, here's my scenario:
Had 2.0.1 on my 3G. Decided to upgrade to 2.1. I have a PC, and I do not sync my contacts with any email account (yet). So, I made a backup of my iPhone with iTunes prior to the upgrade. Good strategy, I thought: Backup, Upgrade, Restore. Hah, what was I thinking?
Made the upgrade. iPhone started up just fine, but it was empty. Restore my data.... thunk iPhone decided that something wasn't tasting too good and refused to accept the restore. In fact, it froze my iPhone every time, causing it to get stuck in a loop of vibrate every 10 seconds with the Apple logo on the screen. Hmmm...
Several attempts to factory restore / DFU and re-upgrade, downgrade, but the restore messed it up every time. gulp I've lost my contacts!?
Nah-uh...
No way....
I refuse to accept it..
Using a method of search, I searched those recent MDBACKUP files for the word "addressbook" and found two files. One for contacts, one for contact photos. The filenames are just ridiculous. Anyway..
I moved the backup folder somewhere else, created a new one with the same name, and added these two files along with the three PLIST files which they're matched with.
I started a manual restore.
It copied and restarted.... and it restored my contacts. Wow.
I tried this trick again, this time adding the files with my Safari bookmarks.
Presto.
Thank goodness.
So, if you ever need to just restore your contacts or bookmarks or the like, this is one way to do it. Anybody have a better method?
-- dijitul in Hawaii

What do you open the folder with to find the one with contact info... test edit? Also... how do you find out what plist files they are associated with? This may sound simple but it's not really for a basic Mac user. I shouldn't have to do this after a standard update. Not good..
But if I can get more in fo I will give it a shot.
Thanks.

Use recovery mode, you might need to do it a few times.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Cannot Restore Apps On Older iPhones

I am still a happy user of an iPhone 2G, running iOS 3.1.3 (the latest compatible iOS version).
Some time ago, possibly after a faulty App Store update, my Slovoed application (a German dictionary bought 2-3 years ago for $20) stopped working.
I first tried to reinstall it from the App Store : no luck, the present Slovoed version (3.28) is not compatible with iOS 3 anymore.
I then thought, no problem, since I have a Mac iTunes save of my iPhone 2G, I will restore the proper Slovoed application from iTunes : no luck, apparently iTunes kept only the latest, incompatible version of Slovoed, possibly because I was synchronizing on the same Mac not only this iPhone 2G under iOS 3.1.3 but also an iPad mini under iOS 6.1.
Searching the Internet, I then discovered that when you save/synchronize, iTunes keeps only the latest versions of Apps in the /Users/<user>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications folder, pushing the previously saved versions of the Apps to the trash.
You can recover IN THE TRASH (!!) the .ipa files of the applications... as long as you have NOT emptied the trash since.
No luck again in my case...
I then tried to get the compatible Slovoed 3.01.ipa file directly from Slovoed support : they refused "for security reasons" (?!), suggesting I get a refund from the App Store !.
At that point, I am completely stuck : I paid for an App which I cannot restore at all with the proper original version.
Bottom line : you can buy an Application on the App Store, install it on your iPhone, synchronize regularly your iPhone with a Mac or PC, and still being unable later on to restore the proper compatible version on your iPhone when you direly need it !
This would never have happened on any old Mac/PC for which you had kept the install disks !
One can understand that Apple wants to accelerate its older iPhones obsolescence, but it is completely abnormal you cannot restore from the App Store older applications you fully bought, when the latest versions have become incompatible, and while iTunes does not keep proper Apps backups.
Shame on you Apple, at some point there will be enough people with the same issue to give ground to a nice class action suite...

Answering to so many posts in such an authoritative way obviously gave you a false superiority complex...
But may be if you don't want to understand what is plainly written, it is just because you are a troll paid to discourage those too critical about Apple ?
It is Apple who decided to have the App Store maintain a single App version for download, when they could as easily differentiate between versions depending on the iPhone version or iOS version.
It is Apple who built a save/restore mechanism in iTunes which does not allow restoration of Apps properly saved.
Sure, Apps developers could have Apps running on all 6 versions of iOS. But that never happened in the Mac/PC world, that will not happen in the iOS world, and anyway that's not what I am asking for.
I am asking for a save/restore mechanism WHICH WORKS and restores the iPhone in the same state it was when saved, APPS INCLUDED !!!
