In addition to what Niel says, consider that your hard drive may have failed. Hopefully you have a backup.

Mac is stuck on the reset password screen.
If it hasn't got iOS 5+ pre-installed then you will need to connect it to a computer's iTunes in order to activate it.

My Apple TV is stuck telling me to plug it in when I downloaded the new software. How do I get past this? I do not have the cable the diagram is asking for.
If you can't get to the menu options, then unfortunately the only option is to purchase a micro-USB cable and connect it to iTunes to restore your Apple TV: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4367

Whenever I try to purchase new apps on my Ipad, it asks me two security questions. I don't remember them and don't even recall answering them in the first place. I want to change them but can't get past not answering them. How do I fix this?
The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

The phone has been restored from settings from an old iPod Touch. The Apple ID username there worked well then, but I have since updated that. The email is no longer useable (university) and the passwords I have tried do not work - nor should they since I have updated my Apple account. Again, it's only when I try to access the App Store on my iPhone does this Apple ID problem surface. Please help! Thanks.
Settings -> Store --> AppleID

I guess it has been a year since I last purchased something on I-tunes and my account is saying that they couldn't authorize my card for some of my purchases. I am trying to add a new credit card to clear this up and it keeps saying that I have to enter a valid security code. I have tried 2 different cards and I get the same thing. I have also added an I-tunes gift card and that isn't clearing up the money that I owe. It is showing that I have a $25 credit for that. How do I fix this, I have been trying for days and all I have got from the e-mail tech support is that its my credit card issuer that is causing the problem. Thats not correct because one of the credit cards that I am trying to use, is a prepaid Visa gift card. I know that these work on I-tunes because I have used them before in the past. I am getting very frustrated with this whole process, I just want to clear up my account and buy some new music!! HELP!!
You probably ran into blocks & locks.

Keep tapping the B key and it should reappear, or click-hold/right-click on whatever tool is currently visible right below the eraser.

After downloading latest update to my iphone3, I found a "game center" app. I opened and tried to sign in using my current info and kept getting msg that password already being used (yeah, by me). How do I get past this so I can download and use my games?
THANK YOU, LIMNOS, I FIXED IT!!!!!!!! [And yes, I was being REALLY dumb.]
Just in case the following is helpful to anyone else:
The switch has to be done manually since all of the sort categories--except album artist--have changed to automatically sort with articles, which is a bit of a pain if you have a lot of articled artists, but there is actually a way to WRITE IN how you want your artist (or whatever) to sort. I just changed my POLICE to COPPERS as a test, and by golly now all the music comes up/is reorganized under C right below Coolio, still listed as The Police!
Before the newest update, the auto-sort always sorted ARTIST to my liking (i.e. ignoring the article), so I never bothered to check out any other tab save Details and Artwork, but voila:
[For any other dummies out there, here's how to get to this screen: right click song or songs-->Get Info-->Sorting.]
Dankeschön, Limnos, really appreciate it!!! But hey, I guess it could be worse when you only have use of half your brain... -
I wish to reset my ipad (as advised by the Apple Store) to attempt to resolve an issue with a non-responsive part of the screen.. However, when I select General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings, I am prompted for a a Restrictions Passcode (which I have never set). I have now entered random codes 11 times and the ipad has not reset. How do I get past this? I am now at the point where I have to wait 60 mins before I can enter another random passcode. I just want the ipad to clear down, erase everything so I can start again.
The other option is to force iPad into Recovery Mode.

I'm trying to update my daughter's Ipad2 to the new IOS 8 and it's got stuck on the connect to ITunes display. We don't have a computer to connect it to and it's never been connected to one. How do I get past this?
You can try a soft-reset of pressing and holding both the home and sleep buttons for 10 to 15 seconds so that it reboots, but you are likely to get the same screen. If it does then it will need to be connected to a computer's iTunes so that it can be reset back to factory defaults - do you have a friend with a computer with iTunes installed on it, or is there an Apple store nearby that you could try going to (if there is then preferably make a Genius Bar appointment at it, or don't go at a busy time) ?
Has she been backing up to the cloud ? If she has then she should be able to restore to that. If not then what she can redownload for free from the stores will show in the Purchased tabs in the store apps. -

my younger brother has disabled his i phone and it doesnt say try again in so many minutes it says connect to itunes when i do it never seems to work when i restore and update how do i get past this?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
