MY IPHONE 4 HAS COME UP WITH A MESSAGE, 'PHONE IS DISABLED, TRY AGAIN IN 23,562,928 MINS. hOW DO i UNLOCK THIS?
Hi, my iphone screen went 'large and I was distracted for a minute or two. When I came back to it it had locked me out, however, it was impossible to return to a normal size print to log in. I finally reduced the print by reconnecting the battery. Now It says I the phone is disabled, probably due to all my failed attempts to log in with print enlarged. How do 're-able' my phone? Apple keep asking for me to send data from my phone which I cant do while its disabled.
If the iPhone is in recovery mode, all data is already lost.
Restore it.

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

My iPhone had become disabled after someone attempted to unlock it an absurd number of times. It now says I must wait 3,600 minutes before I can unlock it. I have the correct password, but it will not let me enter it. Is there anyway I can bypass the 3,600 minutes?
Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately I'm pretty far away from the computer that I usually sync with. Also, I read that page and it was helpful other than the phone remained locked after restoring it. I've now restored it a couple of times and it is still telling me I must wait 3,600ish minutes until it will allow me to enter a passcode and unlock the phone. Any other suggestions?

Ever since I installed IOS7, my Iphone 5 (10 months old) has always opened with a message that my voicemail password is incorrect. But I've never at any time put in a voicemail password, so I can't get into the site to put this right, and it didn't happen before I installed IOS7. The message goes away as soon as I cancel it, but it's very irritating. Any suggestions?
Call your carrier & have them reset your voicemail, then set things up again. Most carriers require a password for voicemail.

Hi, i have an ipod touch that has been locked out. Children were playing with it and now have forgotten the password. I have red screen that says to connect to itunes. itunes won't open because the message comes up saying the ipod is locked with a password. Also, this is not the computer that this ipod was last synced with. Can someone help me open this please. Cheers.
Place the iPod in Recovery mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.

In my library, many listed songs, when activated to play, give a message "unable to locate file, do you want us to search for it?". If you say yes, it never finds it, as it the songs are gone. Any thoughts on what's going on?
This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

Ref: iphone 3G. I was visiting the US last week. My iphone battery completely drained overnight. I re-charged it but ever since it has either come up with a message saying it's registering or saying I need to register it. I'm concerned that if I re-register it on itunes I'll lose all my data. I originally registered it a couple of years or so back, when it was new. Any advice much appreciated.
Thank you for quick reply. The data is still there - every so often when I switch it on, it comes up with the main icon screen, rather than the emegency calls only screen (which it does most of the time), and I can get to my contacts, photos, and so on, but it won't connect to any mobile/cell network provider, including my network here in the UK - O2.

Iphoto '11
Iphoto on my macbook pro has stopped working. It comes up with a message saying that the library is either being used by another user or it is unreadable. Any ideas why I should be receiving this message?
"Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable"
Offered solution doesn't work:
Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
I can't download photographs from my iphone or my digital camera.
Any ideas on how I can solve this problem?
There is a possibility that when I went to update applications that I started to install Mavericks which I then interrupted and cancelled. I am not definite that this caused this problem but it was at about the same time as when this problem started.
Many thanks,
EdI have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
