My iphone 4 is locked, is there any way to reset it to factory settings without using a pc? see the details first please

so, i know that there are many questions about a locked iphone, but my case is quite different, i think.
i just happened to change my passcode this morning before fasting (i'm fasting) and then i left it charged while i went to sleep. stupidly, i didnt write down the new passcode and after a good sleeping, it seemed i've lost my good memory about the passcode and i cant get closer to what it is. ive erased my phone through find my iphone, but i have no idea how to use the phone brand-new because the phone isnt connected to any internet connection (my connection is a bit obstructed here so its really difficult for me, hence my country), so it seems i cant enter the setup assistant. ive tried to enter recovery mode with itunes on my pc, but my itunes is not the latest version (it's still 11.1.xxx), so my itunes didnt detect any iphone in recovery mode but instead always ask for new software update for the device. i cant update my itunes due my connection problems. si im stuck with remembering what's the passcode until now. i dont care if i have to lose all of my data, as far as i can use my phone again, i just can re-isntall all the apps later. so please can anyone help me? im so desperate. thanks.

If you've erased your phone through Find My iPhone, you've erased the saved WiFi passwords along with everything else.

  • Is there ANY way possible to MANUALLY restore factory settings for an ipod classic, FROM the device ITSELF (as opposed to restoring from iTunes or forcing a reformat elsewhere)?

    I have 3 iPods:  1 Touch and 2 Classics.  The Touch and 1 of the Classics are both working fine; the other Classic is not showing up in iTunes, My Computer, or in Device Manager.  While I CAN do a simple reset, it accomplishes nothing, and I am UNABLE to get the faulty Classic into "disk mode".
    Based on what I've encountered thus far, I have a suspicion that my faulty Classic somehow thinks it's formatted for the Mac, as I DO see the serial # and I do NOT see "Windows Format" in the About screen on the ipod itself.  Is that even POSSIBLE?  I have never used a Mac, but that's what the documentation I've read on this Support Site have lead me to believe.
    The faulty Classic will charge ONLY in a wall charger; it clearly wants nothing to do with my laptop as it refuses to stand up and be recognized in iTunes or in My Computer....why??!!??    I DID try all of the other obvious troubleshooting items; I tried different USB ports, different cords, different laptops, and even different ipods.....BUT....all is well with everything else BUT for this pain-in-the-@$$ ipod.
    IDEALLY.....since my ipod refuses to make itself available for me to "restore factory settings" via iTunes, the way it SHOULD be handled....., I'm wondering if there are any hackers out here that know of a way to FORCE a MANUAL restoration of factory settings of the ipod, via super-secret "key strokes" on the ipod itself (and not via the iTunes software that is curently useless for this particular ipod)....?
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!  Without your assistance, my Classic ipod remains an expensive door stop and/or paper weight.  It's behavior at this point is nothing shy of rude and inconvenient!

    There is no way to restore/reformat the device without connecting it to a PC or Mac.
    Have you checked the iPod's dock connector for signs of bent/damaged/corroded pins that could prevent a full connection with your PC?  If there is any lodged debris, take a can of compressed air to it to blow it all out.

    If you aren't going to live that long maybe you should give up with computers and start enjoying the few remaining hours.

  • Is there any way to restore it to factory settings with out the disk?

    I got a macbook off of a friend with all the proper disks, did the installation and set up and did all the updates. Now after having restarted the computer with the new updates I'm trying to install iworks(it always asks for the admin. name and password), but it keeps saying that I have the incorrect administrator name or password yet I can log on and off just fine. Is there any way I can fix this or reset it to the factory settings with out having to use the disk?

    OK, then you can try this instead:
    I lost my admin user (OS X 10.5)
    If you are unfortunate enough to delete your only admin user, or remove his admin capability, then as long as you have another user with login capability, you can give that user admin rights as shown below.  Print this post out in a mono-spaced font, and type carefully, paying attention to spaces and punctuation, since you cannot copy/paste in Single User mode.  Caution: in single user mode you have root privileges. Be careful!
    Substitute the name of 'youruser' below. 
    Boot into single-user mode which will eventually get you to a shell prompt (ending in #). Then type the following (Press RETURN after each command): 
    /sbin/fsck -fy 
    Repeat the above until it says your disk is OK. Then continue with 
    /sbin/mount -uw / 
    /usr/bin/dscl . -merge /groups/admin users youruser 
    If you get a message saying "invalid path", then type these two commands first:  
    /usr/bin/dscl . -create /groups/admin gid 80
    /usr/bin/dscl . -create /groups/admin passwd '*'
    and then repeat the "dscl ... -merge" command.
    Then:
    reboot 
    You will now be able to login as 'youruser' and have administrative privileges.  Membership of the 'admin' group is the only thing that distinguishes administrative users from ordinary users.

  • I have the newest Apple TV is there a way to reset it to factory settings and sync my itunes library to it

    I Have the newer Apple TV I have had it for awhile is there a way to reset  even if I do not have itunes open I can sync only the episodes I want of shows?

    Except for the earliest model, Apple TVs stream; they don't synch, because they don't have much storage of their own.
    Please explain again what you hope to accomplish.

  • Any way to update PO document through DTW without using "Doc Entry"

    Dear all,
    Just have a question.
    I need to use DTW to update existing PO document. I realized that I have to have Doc Entry to be entered in the DTW template.
    Is there any way to update PO document through DTW without using that field, "Doc Entry"?
    thanks
    Tony

    Tony,
    A similar situation related to Bank files was resolved with one of my clients on the following way...
    The file from the Vendor can be an any order or format on the Excel.  Till the time it is consistant it should work fine..
    We created a Job in SQL Server to read this Excel file and to use the DocNum to get the DocEntry from SAP PO and output another excel file which is exactly the template format for PO Update.
    This may even not be required in your case.....
    You can get this done through an Excel Macro....which will connect to the database and using the DocNum get the DocEntry and update the Excel....
    This is 100% achievable and a better solution for regular use

  • I formerly had an iPhone 3 with my iTunes account/music on it. I've recently purchased an iPhone 5s. I no longer have the iPhone 3. Is there any way to retrieve music from my account and put on my iPhone 5s?

    I formerly had an iPhone 3 with my iTunes account/music on it. I've recently purchased an iPhone 5s. I no longer have the iPhone 3. Is there any way to retrieve music from my account and put on my iPhone 5s?

    Yes.  Sign in to the iTunes Store with the same Apple ID you used to buy the music in settings on the phone.
    Then tap on "purchased" in the iTunes app on the phone and download the music to your new iPhone.

  • Hi am having problems with iTunes,I have all my music on my 4s but I bought the iPhone 5 today.us there any way that I can transfer music over to my new phone without using the library?as it doesn't seem to be on my PCM anymore.

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

    my on/off button does not appear to be working on my iphone 3.....is there any way around this....anyway around this?...the phone also periodically just switches off.

    Likely a hardware issue... no way around that except to get it repaired or don't use it (the button).
    Try restoring to solve the switching off problem.

  • My iPhone 5s is stolen and I want to restore iPhone photos from iCloud. I have use iCloud to backup the iPhone photos. Is there any way to restore my photos from iCloud to mac?

    My iPhone 5s is stolen and I want to restore iPhone photos from iCloud. I have use iCloud to backup the iPhone photos. Is there any way to restore my photos from iCloud to mac?

    The backup of your iPod Touch would include your camera roll photos.  Restoring the backup to another iPod Touch or iPhone would recover them.  Photos will not be restored by restoring the backup to an iPad.
    Note: Apple deletes iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so be sure to do this before then.

    My iphone was recently stolen. Is there any way to access my purchases in itunes (without having transferred them to a computer)? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hm, good suggestion, but I've actually already done this (and I've had a friend go through the steps with me). There is just NOTHING that is showing up under any of the categories in the cloud for downloading. The thing is, I'm just not sure if I enabled cloud-sharing or not on my iphone (although I know I've backed up my data through cloud on my iphone at some point). 
    Any other suggestions?

  • Is there any way to set a password so that txt messages only open when the password is entered

    Is there any way to set a password so that txt messages only open when the password is entered?
    Please help! Thanks for reading:)

    Hello Damien,
    There is an option to set a passcode for the entire iPhone.  You can use the following steps to set this up:
    You can configure a passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
    Once enabled, you will be prompted for the passcode whenever you:
    Turn on or restart the device
    Wake the device
    Unlock the screen
    Note: You can specify the amount of time the screen must be locked before requiring a passcode.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Understanding passcodes

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • HT4528 Forgot password to log on to phone, is there any way to reset?

    Forgot password to log on to phone, is there any way to reset?

    Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
    Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
