No. If you failed to turn off Find my iPhone BEFORE you upgraded to iOS 7, you will need the original Apple ID and password. If you upgraded to iOS 7 you will need this info; there is no way around this. If it is the device passcode you will need to restore your iPhone in order to reset that, which in the end will require your Apple ID and password in order to activate the phone once it is restored.
Why don't you have the original Apple ID? Where did you get the phone?

I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is! Can anyone help??
You selected Encrypt iPhone Backups in iTunes. Then you entered a password.
It would be that specific password it is asking for.

I am trying to download video from the BBC iplayer and the download helper will not start. How do I get it to start?
No, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:

And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key. -

any ideas
I assume you mean it's asking you to restore your phone. If that's correct, then you will lose the data on your phone if you haven't backed it up. If you have backed it up you will be given an option to restore from this backup at the end of the restore process.

Just upgraded my iPad Mini to iOS7. Asking for a passcode
I've never given my iPad Mini a passcode.
I've just upgraded it to iOS7. The process never asked me for a passcode, either. Then, when I started it up after the upgrade, the first thing it asked for was a passcode.
I tried the usual "default" type codes, like 1111 and 0000 but it has now locked me out and says the device is "disabled".
Any ideas, please? How can I get this thing working again, and avoid the same happening again?
Thanks.
TomOK, success.
Used recovery mode and restored from the backup created as part of the iOS7 upgrade. This time, when the iPad started, it asked me things like whether I wanted Location Services on, and THEN said that if I wanted to use "Find my iPad" I'd need a passcode. On the previous start up, all these introductory steps were missing and the iPad went straight to asking me for a (non-existent) passcode. This is clearly an example of the installation bug mentioned in the Australian news item I posted above.
Anyhow, I now seem to be running, with no loss of data, just a fraught hour of my time.

IPhone is asking for an old Apple ID's password when updating apps.
So here's a strange thing. I have two Apple IDs. As far as I can tell, everything is set-up to use only 1 of those IDs, and the other, I just don't even touch. But when purchasing or updating apps on my iPhone, it asks me for the password of teh Apple ID account that I don't use. I know you can't delete an Apple ID account (which I find VERY annoying!), so does anyone know how I can just completely migrate to the primary account so it stops asking me for my old password on the old account?
Edit: This question is posted using my old account because I can't seem to log into discussions or communities with the new one. What the heck?!My understanding thus far is that each App purchase is tied to only the xact Apple ID that was used to purchase it. So supposedly if you change your Apple ID those Apps bought on the Old Apple ID are not transferable to a new Apple ID. The reason for this would be that otherwise people could endlessly share their purchased Apps with other Users with different Apple ID's, who would not have to pay for the use of the Apps.
Hope this helps -

Just upgraded to 9.1.4, now being asked for a serial number from my packaging, which is 1000 miles away at the moment. Any way out of this? Thanks.
Add me to the list. This is a nuisance.
Fortunately, if i click on cancel, Logic will start the next time i run it without asking me. (But it asks again the third time i run it, and so forth - really strange!)
Please report this bug to Apple! http://www.apple.com/feedback/logicpro.html

My iphone will not sync to itunes. It will connect to the computer but will not show up anywhere in itunes. PLEASE HELP!!
Hey there Kellee,
It sounds like the device drivers for your iPhone are working in Windows, but the phone is not showing in iTunes. You should be able to get that showing again with the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
Start with these three steps, and there are more in the article if you need them.
1. Update iTunes
Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select "Check for updates" in the Help menu.
2. Check the USB cable
Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might support only charging those products (and not transmitting data) or they might work only with the product with which they were sold. Using one of these cables to sync could cause issues. If you are using a third-party case, such as an extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows XP: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Open the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program" (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features"). Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type Control Panel,and press Return. Click "Uninstall a program". Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,

I have recently switched from a PC to a MacBook Pro.
I have a large number of documents and photographs on a multiterrabite external drive, backed up on a second multiterrabite external drive.
Both external drives are formatted for MacIntosh. This has been verified by agents at an Apple store and also at Best Buy in two different cities.
This is the problem:
The MacBook Pro will not allow me to cut-and-paste to and from or to click-and-drag to the external drive. I can copy-and-paste, but then I must send the original to the trash, which doubles the time and effort. Is there any way to cut-and-paste?
Also, the MacBook Pro will not allow me to rename multiple documents or photographs. I can click-and-rename a single one, but this is impossibly time consuming. I can batch-rename in iPhoto, but when I transfer the photographs to the external drive, the rename does not transfer.
I’m reduced to using my wife’s Toshiba to cut-and-past, rename, and transfer documents. It works perfectly. Is there any way to do this on the MacBook Pro?
Thanks!

No, this is a philosophical difference between Apple and Microsoft. Apple believes that it's dangerous to cut a file in case the user never pastes it; in that case the file is lost. Microsoft seems to not have this problem (if I remember Windows correctly) because they don't delete the originating file if it's cut but never pasted.
Even though Macs have a lot of keyboard shortcuts, philosophically Macs have traditionally been mouse-first. This applies to file copy operations. In your case, what a Mac user would do is open the source window, open the destination window (on your second drive), and then Command-drag the selected files from the source to destination window. This is because a normal drag would leave the originals behind, while adding the Command modifier key tells OS X that this is a Move, not a Copy, so don't leave the originals behind.
(In addition there are different rules for drag-copying within the same volume or between different volumes. If you drag between two folders on the same volume, the files are moved. If you drag between different volumes, the files are copied unless you hold down Command to delete the copies on the source volume.)

Two problems in this case. First, batch file renaming is not built into OS X unless you build something with Automator. However, there are many utilities that can do batch file renaming which you can find at macupdate.com or on the App Store. Since I work with media I often batch rename using one of the media managers I have lying around like Media Pro or Adobe Bridge (comes with Photoshop).
iPhoto is a database front end designed to shield the file system from the consumer and let them concentrate on creativity and sharing. As such it is often a poor choice for managing files directly. When you "transferred the photographs" chances are you moved the originals, not the ones iPhoto edited which are stored in a hidden folder.

There will not be a way to do it exactly like Windows. As described above, there are ways to do it "the Mac way." If it is possible to remove judgment on which way is "better" you might find the Mac way to be acceptable, but of course sometimes we simply prefer what we're used to. -
I live in the UK but visit the US regularly. I plan to buy a MacBookPro in the US but have read that it will not play UK DVD's. Is this so? If so, is it possible to change the codes?
All modern & new Macs can play both PAL and NTSC DVDs. I do it all the time and it works perfectly.
The DVD drive is set to its first region code when you first play a DVD in it. So when you buy a Mac, whatever type of DVD you play first will determine the initial region code that is set. If it's a PAL/Region 2 DVD it will set the DVD drive to region 2.
The only thing you have to watch out for is if you have a collection of DVDs that have different region codes. In those cases you may be faced with changing the region code in the DVD drive in order to play one or more of the DVDs; and as others have noted there is a limit to the number of times you can change the region code (most modern DVD drives allow up to 5 changes; the 5th change becomes the permanent change). This is due to industry licensing practices.
If you have DVDs that are Region 0 or All Regions you don't have to worry about region codes.
