Iphone was updated to IOS7. It has been locked since password is forgotten . Cannot retrieve mail as it is linked to icloud account. Is there any way to retrieve the password or reset it?

Go to http://iforgot.apple.com (on a Mac or PC) and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com; click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.

    It's not uncommon for it to not work the first time and sometimes, you have to try it a few times. Turn off your antivirus software and your firewall while you are trying to restore the iPad. Enable them again after you restore.
    If that still won't work, post back with detailed information as to what exactly does happen as you go through the process.

  • Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated.  How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated?  In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

    iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.

    I just "upgraded" my iPhone with the new software. As a low vision person, your phone was always previously helpful. I now discover that I cannot use the phone easily. The font has been changed to a very narrow typeface and the greyscale has been altered to reduce contrast. The background is now grey as well rather than white. The accessibility options permit only three choices. First, increase type size. With the the low greyscale, thin typeface, increasing type size makes it HARDER to read. There is no option for contrast enhancement. Third, the background switch options suffers from the same deficit as the white background. The third choice is to enhance brightness but without the option to change contrast, this is useless. Am I missing something? Can this be fixed? How? When? Are you planning a similar negative "update"/change to other devices?

    I am having the same problem. I have gone through every setting, set the bold font, contrast, larger font....everything I could find in any post to try and help - and between the new color scheme that makes it virtually impossible to use the pictures of my grandchildren as background (the picture colors now become the theme colors - which now match the colors of many of the "flat" icons...) I am finding the phone very difficult to use--espeically things like the calendar which has now become very hard to "see" and use. If I can't revert this thing to iOS6, I may have to get a different phone.

    I am trying to back up my new iPhone after downloading/updating iTunes with iCloud. I get this message: The required file was not found or has a permissions error. Correct this permissions problem and try again, or deauthorize this computer if the permiss
    how do I find the file and replace it or install it?

    I'll reload it tonight when I get home...basically, I bought a new iPhone and downloaded some new medical apps. also had to download an update for iTunes into my mac laptop so I could access iCloud (which was NOT on my prior iTunes software)
    When I synched my new iPhone with the newly downloaded iTunes, I registered my iphone and tried to "back it up" to iCloud and the message indicating that "the required file was not found or has a permissions error...." popped up.
    How do I correct the permissions error, or...am I able to do this somewhere? Or...how do I find the file that is missing?

    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

  • In updating to iOS7, my music was erased. how to transfer music from my iTunes back to my iphone?

    And my back up was screwed up because it required a password I couldn't remember.  The only way I could reset my password was when I backed up the iPhone again which now had none of my music.
    P.S. now my music button doesn't even respond on iOS7 when i tap on it - because it has nothing.
    HELP!

    Yea, I don't understand your music being in icloud, unless you use itunes match.
    there are no music in your itunes media library.
    Are these purchased songs?

  • I updated to iOS 7 but now that I am using my iphone, all my apps are gone. everything else has been recovered from i could except my apps. I have my apps backed up but i cant get them restored.

    I updated to iOS 7 but now that I am using my iphone, all my apps are gone. everything else has been recovered from i could except my apps. I have my apps backed up but i cant get them restored.

    Right click on the .exe file and select run as admin. This will allow it to run all the processes it needs and should help it work. If the problem is not fixed you should try waiting till a new update, that often fixes ios issues.
    On other problem could be a hardware issue, try a new cable and use it in a different USB socket.

  • HT5957 I recently updated my iPnone 4 and iPad to the iOS7.0.2 and now if I try to send a message to anyone that has an iPhone it will try to send it as an iMessage and if they are not around a wifi connection it won't try to send it as a text, any sugges

    I recently updated my iPhone 4 and my iPad to the iOS 7.0.2 and now I am having lots of trouble with messaging. I used to be able to send or receive iMessages from other people with iPhones. Or iPads on either of my devises and if the other user was not connected to a wifi connection it would automatically try to send the message as a text message.  Now if I send a message to an iPhone user from my phone and they are not connected to wifi, the message just sits there in limbo, and doesn't notify my that it wasn't sent. I have to manually tap the message and request to send it as a text message, I also can no longer receive picture messages from android phones, and relies to my messages from iPhone users are going to my iPad and not to my phone. Help!!!!

    Try the following:
    Go to Settings > Messages > iMessages > disable
    Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    let it do it's thing and reset.
    Then go to Settings > Messages > iMessages > enable
    You'll then have to go back to your Wifi and re-enter your router credentials.

  • I'm waiting for my new iPhone 5s to be delivered. I lost my iPhone 5 but did have it backed up on my MacBook Pro. I was using iOS6 at the time. Will I have a problem restoring the data to my new iPhone 5s assuming it will come with iOS7?

    No, you should not.  There are problems trying to go the other way, but updating a newer iOS release from a backup of an older iOS release has always been supported and is the basic means of setting up a new device from a previous one.

  • Iphone 3gs has no wifi in grey after 4.3.3 update

    I have had a 3GS since launch and it is long out of warrenty and when i recently updated my iphone to 4.3.2 firmware i found my wifi in grey reading "no wifi" i  was unable to access the wifi menu so i rebooted my phone a bunch of times and the wifi worked again but after a couple of weeks it has stopped working again i have done the following:
    Soft reset,
    deleted safari history, cache and cookies,
    Reset network settings,
    Restore and update to 4.3.3,
    rebooted a bunch of times.
    and still no results i am positive it is not a hardware issue as the bluetooth works fine and as far as i am aware the bluetooth and wifi share the same chip i have never experianced any wifi bugs with ios 3 and ios 4 has killed my wifi completley. I think it is some sort of software issue but any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Kind Regards,
    Nouman

    i would like to share with you how i fixed my iphone 4s after ios 7.0.4 update and lose of wifi, bluetooth greyed out.
    Ive resolved the grayed out wifi bluetooth issue, i just wanted to share thia with you and hope it works for you as well.
    Firstly i was innocently upgrading a fully working Iphone 4s no problems ever, after the ios 7.0.4 update i lost all wifi and bluetooth which was grey out.
    After having contacted apple they told me like everyone else hardwear issues, i never beleived this from the start as the iphone previously worked fine before the update. Also if you check settings - General - about phone - wifi has no address where as before it was fine.I almost believe in my case the ios 7.0.4 has deactivated the wifi hardware by not re-entering a address upon updating as a issue.
    As the iphone is out of warrenty apple informed me if the item has a issue we could replace for £166 for out of warrenty, "what for downloading apple software thats prevented a perfect phone from working"! I informed apple this is a common issue and on the apple support communities site many people have this issue, the response was dont believe anything online.
    Literally i searched the entire internet for solutions, from trying to downgrade software and use tinyumbrellas software to alter the host settings to enable itune to download without a popup message of  'this device isnt eligible for the requested build' basiscally a block download. To more obscure solutions such as placing the iphone in a freezer or using a hair dryer. Please check these online for further reference.
    I would just like to share the fact if all else fails and you dont believe the obscure solutions work please have another rethinken, as they did in my case as id like to share my resolution with you.Please check online for further references if you prefer, but i to was doubtful about this idea and melting the phone etc.
    Fix iphone greyed out wifi bluetooth problem - worked on a iphone 4s with recent ios 7.0.4 update worked fine before update on 7.0.3
    1.Place a hairdryer 6 inches away, apply heat for 10 sec.
    2.Then remove for a few seconds BE CAREFULL KEEP CHECKING.
    3.Then repeat, till phone gets hot and upon the screen the iphone will say to hot to use.
    4.Switch phone off and let cool down.
    5.When you switch on it reactivates the wifi hardware with the software and you can use wifi and bluetooth again.
    Im just a normal person thats had apple products for over 15 years due to being a designer, ive been messed about by apple and tried everything on the net and the only reason i post this is to offer a solution that may work for you as it did for me.
    If any one has another opinion then that is there opinion, but this worked in my case and what i state is my experience and thoughts on this issues.All i intend is to try and help others as other online advice helpped me.
