My computer is asking for a 6 digits code to unlock the system after updating it. How do I fix it??

I updated my mac with the usual update, and then suddenly my mac shut down. After trying to turn it on everything was fine except for the fact that I am not able to use it because I can't log on to desktop- my MacBook is asking me for a 6 digit code to unlock the system and I have no Idea why. Can anyone help me?? I live in denmark, so finding that code will cost me a lot of money

That sounds like a lock PIN put on via Icloud - can you log into iCloud and unlock it?

  • I bought a used macbook pro from a friend. Software updates are available, but when I try to update, the computer asks for apple id and will only accept the former owner´s. How can I connect my macbook to my apple id?

    I bought a used macbook pro from a friend. Software updates are available, but when I try to update, the computer asks for apple id and will only accept the former owner´s. How can I connect my macbook to my apple id?

    The first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.

  • HT4623 My daughter update my iphone using her itunes acct., which caused all her apps to download onto my iphone. Now when it asks for my password it has her email address instead of mine. How can I fix the problem?

    My daughter was updating her iphone to the iOS6 and everything went great. So, she was going to update mine. She used her itunes acct. instead of mine and it downloaded all her music and apps onto my iphone. Now when it asks for me to enter my password, it has her email address. How can I fix this???

    plug your iphone into your computer with your itunes account signed in to update it, (if you want your own apps ect.) if all you want to do is change accounts signed in on the iphone than simply open settings and scroll down until you see itunes and app stores touch the apple id tip top and signout, sign yourself in. any apps she has "purschased" that you have not.. i imagine will just cease to work.
    if you both share the same contacts, it won't be a big deal, however if you have work and her shcools numbers ect, and she just has mom/dad/buddies you may have double numbers and apps and what not by doing this, so if it does become a mess.. just get on itunes log into your account by clicking the store menu in itunes and going down to the account id on the bottom of that menu and just restore your phone.

  • Upgraded to ios 5, now my voice mail is asking for a password or code to unlock to get voice mail. Didn't have a passcode before upgrade, so how do I reset the passcode?

    upgraded to ios 5, now my voice mail is asking for a password or code to unlock to get voice mail. Didn't have a passcode before upgrade, so how do I reset the passcode?

    So now I went back to the screen that orginally asked me for my Apple ID and passort, and instead of entering my Apple ID i entered the email address associated with it and the new password.  It now tells me "You can't sign in because your account was disabled for security reasons.  To enable your account, reset your passwort at iforgot.apple.com"
    I have now changed my password twice and it still doesn't work.
    Until I get this resolved my tablet is useless.

  • I have two songs that show up in Music on my phone, but when the phone is connected to my computer, those two songs don't show as being on the phone in iTunes.  How do I fix this?

    I tried erasing all the music on the phone, and putting it back.  When I plugged in my headphones yesterday to listen to music while doing the dishes, and then pressed the button on the headphones to start the music, a song that I didn't add to my phone started playing.  I have the option to Show All Music turned off in settingsm but the songs still show up.  I am getting frustrated with this.

    I am trying to download a flashplayer and my computer is asking for the technical password for the computer and I do not know it. How can I work around that?

    There IS NO password required to "download" Flash Player, but...
    You CANNOT install software without your system administrator password, and that's with ANY software, not just Flash Player or Reader.

    I purchased photoshop elements 8 on line in 2010. I recently switched to a new desktop computer. Photoshop asked for my serial number. I entered the correct serial number (obtained from Adobe). It says it is invalid. How do I get this corrected so I can use the product I purchased?

    Hi Rosera,
    This is bad and I am sorry to hear that you are running into these issues.
    Let me connect with you, so right now, the current state is that you have installed copy of PSE 8 in trial on your windows 7 machine, and when you are trying to enter the serial number from your PSE 8 Box, it is saying the serial number to be invalid?
    It might sound pretty obvious, but please make sure that you are entering the serial number correctly and of PSE 8(in case you bought a PEPE box)?
    Have you tried the steps mentioned below by Barbara?
    If possible, you can send me the serial number through PRIVATE MESSAGE and I can check it on my end that whether the serial number is indeed invalid or that the issue is with your machine?
    Regards,
    Ankush

  • I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. Is it Lion?

    I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. As you can imagine this is very annoying. It says I am not connected to the internet and offers me a choice of nearby networks including mine and then asks for a password when I select it. Why does it do this with our new MacBooks (also with my son's brand new one) and not with the iPhone, iPad and older MacBook? They happily automatically connect to our network after entering the password just the once.

    Sig, I appreciate you trying to be helpful. I have no idea what issues you were having or what issue exactly pgrounds has been having. Your assumption that everyone's set up is the same as yours is false however. There are many many documented WiFi issues that are a result of Lion installs. Many have been solved by 10.7.1 and 10.7.2. Others have been solved by a large variety of work arounds. Others have not had their issues solved yet.
    I am one of those. I have an IT background, and I spent the better of five hours digging up workarounds and attempting all of them. For the benefit oh anyone who is having similar issues, I have posted links to all of those workarounds here. None of them worked in my case, but hopefully they will help pgrounds or others.
    So, once again, if you have a new idea, I'd love to here it. But if it has already been posted in one of these links, it's not helpful, let it go.

  • After updating iOS, I only see a black screen on my iPad asking for a 4 digits passcode, I've tried severeal times and now every time I try I get this message "Ipad dissable wait 60 min... I do not know what to do???

    After updating iOS 8.0, I only see a black screen on my iPad 4 asking for a 4 digits passcode, I've tried severeal times and now every time I try I get this message "Ipad dissable wait 60 min... I do not know what to do???

    Howdy mendjes25,
    It sounds like you’ve recently updated your iPad and now it’s disabled because the passcode you’re entering isn’t being accepted. I can imagine that would be frustrating. Take a look at the article linked below, it describes the alert you’re seeing and provides the possible resolutions for that issue.

    I hope this helps,
