Locked my iPhone remotely and now it won't unlock.

After locking my iPhone remotely with "Find my iphone"/www.me.com), I unlocked it with my phone. Next I went into the settings and switched the code to a new one. Later I went to unlock my phone and the newest code wouldn't work but the old remotely assigned code did work. The next time I unlocked it, the latest code worked (after 2 attempts) but the remotely assigned code did not. Now, neither code work and I can't get into my phone. What should I do? Thanks!

Hello!
I know exactly what your problem is. I think. Anyway, when you do the remote locking with Find My iPhone, on the computer it asks you to put in a passcode. You must type that passcode into the iPhone in order to get it to unlock! If you can't remember what that passcode is, do another remote lock with a new passcode and than try that new code in the iPhone.

  • My Internet was messing up so I turned it off and on. It still wouldn't work so I turned my iPhone off and now it won't come back on. What can I do to fix it?

    I was trying to fix the internet on my iPhone so I turned it off and back on, then it still wouldn't work so I i turned my iPhone off and now it won't turn back on. Now when it's plugged into the wall or the computer the Apple Logo comes up for about 6 seconds and turns off, then back on for another 6 seconds then turns off again and it just repeats, and it really frustrates me. What can I do to fix it?

    I had a similar issue with my phone.....it just shut off and wouldn't come back on even thought it was charged.  My daughter toggled the mute switch several times and then she pressed and held down the home and lock buttons.  It worked......would be worth a shot.

  • I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there.  I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working.  Please help.

    I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version.  I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again.  I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again.  My blue tooth doesn't work either.  I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this.  When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue.  My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!!  I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue.  Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it.  Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
    June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

  • HT4061 We just updated our mom's iPhone 4, and now it won't turn on.  When it does, it says "iTunes" and wants me to connect to it.  Nothing I do makes it go away, and I can't get it to turn on.  Help!

    I just updated my mom's Iphone 4, and now it won't turn on.  When it does, there is a "itunes" icon, with the cord picture, which is asking me to connect to Itunes, I believe.  Can't get past this screen to even turn it on.  What do I do without having to restore her entire phone, which I have no idea how to do that?

    You need to restore using the recovery mode described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 and may need to do that more than once to succeed.

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
    You also said: "It also will not let me download any music onto it." What happens when you try to sync music to the iPod?

    Hello Nikmuz,
    It sounds like your screen is either black so it looks like it is not on, or it is just plain not turning on at all and it is also not being recognized in iTunes. I would recommend the followng troubleshooting from this article to help you determine whether that is the case or not, named:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • Dropped iPhone 5c and now it won't turn on

    My cousin dropped his iPhone 5c and now it won't turn on. It doesn't charge or make any noise. What should I do?

    Try to reset the phone
    Hold the sleep and home buttons until the apple logo appears and allow normal boot up - there is no data loss
    If this does not work - then chances are that there is hardware damage that cannot be fixed through the user troubleshooting methods and bring it to an Apple or authorized repair store

    I reset everything on my iphone 4 and now it's stuck on a loading scree and my lock button is broken. what do i do?!

    There is nothing you can do as you won't be able to reset the device.
    You can wait until the battery goes flat then try connecting it to power so it restarts. If the same issue occours then you'll need to restore it on iTunes by entering recovery mode.
