Is there a way to remove my restrictions passcode and not lost everything?

I had a passcode on my restrictions before the iOS7 update. Now, I need to use it, but I forgot the passcode. I keep seeing things that say that it has to be factory restored. Is there a way to not lose all my data and still remove the passcode?

The whole point of the passcode is to keep others from seeing the data on your phone. If you could get around the passcode what good would it be? The best thing is to set a pass code and then remember what it is.

  • HT201304 If I forgot my password is there any way to remove the restrictions and backup my iPod from the computer? I tried reseting it to factory defaults and then backing it up but it still has the restrictions on.

    I'm trying to remove my restrictions, and i reset it to factory default, but everytime i back it up the restrictions are still on. I don't want to have to register as a new ipod and loose everything i've bought and added.

    - Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - If you are up to it see:

  • HT1689 I allow a friend to use my credit card (cc) to buy applications.  Is there a way to use the cc once and not to be saved in to iTunes?

    I allow a friend to use my credit card to buy applications. 
    Is there a way that the cc information not to be stored in his iTunes?

    As I understand it you'd have to go in and remove it from the iTunes account. And if it's his account he'll have to go in and do it.
    If I were you? If you have iTunes gift cards handy just get one of those. I set up my iTUnes years ago and all I use are gift cards. Yeah, the remainder of the $15 dollars sits there, but if anyone gets into my iTunes that's all they can get, whatever balance I have.

  • Is there a way to record just the arpeggios and not the notes being played?

    I am recording the Arpeggios from my Motif rack ES into Logic Pro 7.2 in midi format but when I try to do this, the notes that I play on the keyboard also get recorded along with the arpeggios? Is there a way to record just what's coming out of the midi out (of motif rack es) and not the keys that you are pressing to kick off the arpeggio?

    Either check your Motif's owners manual to see if you can disable the keys or make sure the keys are out of the arpeggio's range and use a transform object in the environment to filter out the unwanted notes.

  • I have various devices with different capacities, but my iphone 5 won't sync as it says i'm overcapacity? it there any way to store onto the icloud and not the device?

    I have an ipad and iphone 3gs 32gb, an iphone 5 and nano 16gb and also purchased 15gb on icloud. My iphone 5 won't sync as it says it is over capacity. Is there any way to store on icloud and not my device? Is having the various capacities on each device is pointless?

    Just select less to sync with the iphone 5.
    Each device will only sync what you select.

  • Got a new hard drive, is there any way to get my purchased music and not purchased music on my macbook?

    My macbook pro's hard drive had to be completely replaced and none of my data could be recovered. Is there any way that is 100% sure to not erase all the music off my ipod touch and get all of it (purchased and not purchased) back onto my computer without any software?

    Hi, Shelby.
    The iPod doesn't actually support that. But good news: With the latest version of iTunes, you can re-download all your purchased music for free. Just open the iTunes store and click on Purchased on the right hand side.
    As for the rest, a quick Google search shows there is no Apple supported solution.

  • Cannot access iCloud because I don't have the primary email and password I originally set it up with. Is there any way to remove this primary username and password without either the email address and the password?

    How do I delete an old iCloud username and password. I have neither of them anymore and cannot access icloud to change settings. Set up a second username and password but icloud still won't rcognize the my birthdate and security questions answers I've answed. hope somebody else has had this problem. Thanks

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • Is there any way to get my restrictions passcode from my iPod 2nd gen without restoring?

    I cannot sync with a computer or use the app store until I accomLish this task, so please don't tell me to. Thank you in advance!

    Sorry, but if you don't know the passcode, and you can't sync without it, you will need to plug the device into iTunes, then restart it in DFU mode and restore it.

  • Is there any way to ask Siri for directions and not have navigation automatically start?

    Sometimes I just want to know how far and how to get to a destination without using turn by turn navigation. If i ask Siri how far a place is I get the distance in air miles not driving. So then if I ask how to get there Apple maps opens and begins turn by turn navigation. I would rather ask and then select to start  if I want, this is how it works with Google Now. Has anybody figured out a way to do this? If not Apple should make it an option in settings.

    Hi there,
    If you are publishing to a video format ( .mp4 ) output then it is not possible to insert the interactivity like buttons, or click boxes.
    If you have published the .swf, .htm or HTML 5 and if you have embedded a video inside that then that can have a button or click box on the last slide.
    Please elaborate more on your requirement and also tell the version of Adobe Captivate and Operating System.
    Thanks.

  • What to do if I forgot my restrictions passcode and apple ID is disabled?

    I can't use restrictions or update/download apps, please help!?!?!?

    The only way to remove the restrictions passcode is to restore the iPod Touch using recovery mode and set it up as new.  If you restore from a backup, the restrictions passcode will be restored as well.

    If your Apple ID is disabled and says "for security reasons" then you will just need to reset your password.  Here's the instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2446
    If it says Apple ID Disabled and does not say anything about "security reasons" then you will need to contact the iTunes Store to get it fixed. Here's how you can do that: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
