IPhone Restore. Any Help Is Appreciated

       So I have an iPhone 5 that I forget my password to, I've been trying to restore it, and it won't let me. I put my iPhone in recovery mode and I've plugged into iTunes and it says downloading software for iPhone and the after that download is done my phone turns back on and on itunes it pops up please enter password and problem is don't know what the password is. Please help, I'm desperate.

Is it asking for your iCloud password or is it asking you to enter a passcode on the screen? If it is the screen passcode you didn't follow the Recovery Mode instructions correctly.
If it is asking for an iCloud password then the phone is Activation Locked. You will need that passcode to restore the phone. If it is locked to your Apple ID you can use https://iforgot.apple.com to recover it. If it is someone else's passcode you will need their help.

  • Problem with iphone songs, any help greatly appreciated...

    Well I've been having this problem with all my songs in the ipod section of my iphone for a few weeks now, ever since I bought the new iphone. There's a very subtle popping or crackle noise in between almost every song when I change or skip through tracks and I can't seem to fix this problem.. or maybe it's a problem all iphones share? I bought my first iphone, it seemed to have that problem, then I exchanged it for my second iphone which I received last night... and it still has the problem! I've seen similar problems on other mp3 players like the ipod shuffle.. I'm not very good at explaining the problem I'm encountering so please take a look at this other forum, the problem discussed in it is the same problem I have, only with iphone instead of ipod shuffle:

  • I have an iPhone 4, and I'm able to save photos that have been emailed to me on the iPhone.  However, I cannot figure out how to save a video attachment that has been emailed to me on the iPhone.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I have an iPhone 4 and I can save photos (to my camera roll) that have been emailed to me on the iPhone.  However, I've been unable to figure out how to save  video attachments that have been sent to me on the iPhone.  Any help would be appreciated.   

    Apparently not. I have both an iPhone 4 and an iPad thatbive upgraded to iOS 5.0.1.  While it is reported that if you click on the attached video file and hold that you will be presented a "Save Video" option, all I see is "Quick Look". Thinking it might have been GoodReader, I unknow installed GoodReader but still no option. I wonder if this yet another feature in iOS 5 that doesn't work on upgrades

    Can someone at least point me in the right direction?

  • Why has my ipad mini stopped connecting with my iPhone 4S? I used to use it to download books, or transfer emails to my ipad mini. It was fine 3 days ago, now I get a message saying " cannot join with iPhone" Any help greatly appreciated.

    You can try resetting your iPad and iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • TS2755 My husband and I have a linked apple account and i cloud. Now he is receiving all of my text messages. How can I fix it to where he only receives his messages and not mine? Any help is appreciated!

    My husband and I both have iphones and both are linked to the app store and i cloud. Now my husband is receiving all of my text messages and has all my contacts. How can we get it to where he does not receive my messages anymore? Any help is appreciated!

    Best way is to get your own Apple ID, but until then have him go to Settings > Message > Receive at and remove your phone number.

    Adjusting the date or time didn't do anything for me either. I'm guessing my two options are to either do the full restore from scratch and not apply any backup ... Or possibly wait for an iOS update that might resolve this issue.
    I'm not that much of an avid twitter user that I need it implemented natively in all my devices - so for now I'll probably value all my game save data, internal settings in apps e.t.c. over that functionality (or over the amount of work it would be to get me back to where I am now after a full wipe). I'll see what happens after the next iOS delta update. I'll reevaluate the full wipe after that if the issue hasn't been resolved

  • Need help setting up airport express as bridge (Any help is appreciated)

    Hello so before my wifi was switched I was able to use my 802.11g airport express as a wifi card for the xbox 360. I then decided to upgrade my main base station from an 802.11g base station to and airport extreme 802.11n. My problem is that my airport express cant extend the airport extreme network to my xbox anymore because they are different 802.11 versions. So can anyone help me configure this so I can get this back? Any help is appreciated.
    My Current Setup:
    Internet => Airport Extreme 802.11n => Wireless => Airport Express 802.11g (to extend network for xbox)=> Ethernet => Xbox 360
    Thanks!

    As I said, WDS is a nightmare for most users. Apple hides the settings from users to discourage use of WDS.
    I do not recommend that you do this, but have a feeling that you will do this anyway.
    I will not be able to help you sort out WDS problems.
    On AirPort Utility 5.6, click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab below the icons
    Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the Wireless Mode selection box and the WDS settings will appear
    Apple's instructions for WDS are here:

    I have the old machine backed up onto an external firewire disk but can't hook that up to the new imac as I'm waiting for delivery of a firewire 400/800 adaptor - therefore starting the old machine up as a slave is also subject to the same delay.
    I was hoping there might be some way to create a network between the 2 machines (and 2 different versions of the OS) to be able to transfer data across immediately but perhaps I'll just have to wait for my firewire adaptor to arrive.
    I don't understand why you're buying a Firewire adaptor, since AFAIK both of your computers have Firewire already built in.
    All you need is a firewire cable. Connect the Firewire socket on the old machine to the Firewire socket on your new iMac.
    Then start the old machine in Target Mode (i.e. by holding down the T key on its keyboard, while it's starting up, until you see the three-legged T icon hopping around the screen of the old machine.)
    At that point you will also see a new icon on the screen of your new iMac. This is the hard drive of your old machine.  By clicking on it you can navigate through it any way you like, just as you would normally.
    Just drag across whatever you want from the old computer to the new one. This will leave everything on the old computer untouched.

  • New to programming (any help is appreciated)

    Hello, I am having trouble with the following program, any help is appreciated! I am having trouble figuring out the MONTHMATRIX (code is below).
    Initially all locations are set to zero. The column indices 0 through 6 represent the days Sunday through Saturday, respectively.
    I am trying to complete the code ion MonthMatrix class. The constructor, MonthMatrix will set the matrix to all zeros. The setMonth() method replaces the appropriate positions in the matrix with the dates for the month. For example, if MonthMatrix M = new MonthMatrix(); then the call M.setMonth(2,30) would change the Display matrix to :
    0 0 1 2 3 4 5
    6 7 8 9 10 11 12
    13 14 15 16 17 18 19
    20 21 22 23 24 25 26
    27 28 29 30
