HI Reneesh,
thank you for the quick reply. I am currently trying to restore my phone using itunes. it says downloading time is about 4 hours given my poor connection. let me see if this works. if not, i will follow your advise. Apple service center here in the Philippines is currently on holidays so I am left to my own devices. Thanks again!

Afther repeatedly wrong pass code (iPhone 4) How to use the correct code now?
Others used repeatedly the wrong pass code on my iPhone 4. I do have the correct code and don't want to loose my content. How to handle now?
If you no longer are permitted to enter the right passcode, then it's too late to save anything:

Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode
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.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software. -
i have my daughters iphone 3, i want to use it as an i-pod, but it keeps receiving messages from some her friends is there a way to stop this from happening, please help, my phone is maxed out and would really like the storage for music, thanks
It sounds like it still has her information on it, so it might be efficient to navigate to Settings, then General, then Reset, then Erase All Content and Settings. You can then set up the phone again, using your information. This way the phone will be yours, officially, and her data and information will be removed.

Hi ,
I'm sorry you have to put your device in the DFU mode which means that you're gonna lose your data in your phone
Have you upload something in your cloud ?
I'm here if you need more help -
PLEASE HELP
my iphone 4 is out of warranty and its screen has cracked but its completely working WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE TO GET IT FIX ?$99 is the carrier's fully subsidized or discounted price which requires signing a new two year contract with the carrier. Apple's out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price which pays for an exchange at a significantly reduced price off the full retail sales price has no effect on the existing contract nor requires signing a new contract with the carrier.

Iphone 4 unable to restore after locked for multiple wrong pass code attempts
My sons Iphone 4 (from verizon) has been disabled since too many attempts to input wrong pass code. It asked to connect to Itunes, have done every step to restore it and it is stuck on RESTORING IPHONE SOFTWARE; IPHONE RECOVERY MODE. It has not really progressed at all since it started that step and it has been more than 3 hours or so already. Im so scared to unhook it from the usb but i do not know what else to do. Have tried before in our MAC but would give me an error message so i tried with our windows laptop and it worked fine. But now its stuk on recovery mode.... DOES ANYONE HAVE A SUGGESTION ON WHAT ELSE COULD I POSSIBLY TRY to restore the phone???? please help!!!!
Sounds like the mess I got into when giving my little cousins and iPod Touch. They, of course, set a passcode and forgot after a few brief secondsand dissabled it. Even worse, you can't make and emergency call, plus they left it in airplane mode. I looked up how to put the iPod into restore mode. I did so on a computer it was not authorized by. Everything seemsed okay until the process evetually just stops midway every time and I have to start over. Eventually I just took a trip to the Apple store and they did it in two minutes. They said I was going to lose all the data (which would've been annoying because I got them like 60 free apps all downloaded on the slowest wifi in the world0, but suprissingly I didn't lose a thing. i even got t osee all the videos they recorded with the device for the brief time they had it. Just understand Apple makes certain tasks such as this almost impossible to accomplish at your home, forcing you to take a trip to the store. At least they are always nice about it. Good luck!
Thank you for choosing Apple. -
My iPad locked after 1 incorrect passcode entry and I tried what a senior advisor told my to do, but it could not download the info unless I entered the correct pass code, which I can not do since it does not give me the opportunity. How do I get the window to enter my pass code?

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

How many times can you enter the wrong pin code on an iphone before it resets?
How many times can you enter the wrong pin code on an iphone before it resets itself?
Hey Robin.T,
Thanks for the question. The following article provides the answer to your question:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you enter the wrong passcode six or more times, you'll see a message that says one of the following:
iPhone is disabled
iPad is disabled
iPod touch is disabled
You can also set your passcode lock to wipe the device after 10 unsuccessful attempts (Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Erase Data)
Thanks,

I have set up iTunes Match on only 3 devices (my Windows 7 desktop and 2 iPhones) and am now trying to authorise my new Windows 8 (Toshiba) laptop but I keep failing to authorise the laptop using my one-and-only Apple ID. Does anyone have advice to solve this problem?!
Hi all. I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues. Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem. …without even a re-boot.
Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab. Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
Open the Users folder.
Open your user folder
Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
Open the Installer Cache folder
In Details view sort on Name
Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco. The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”. Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear. Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
Good luck… -
I have a software update on my iPhone but it asks me for a 4 number pass code does anyone know what this code is as never been asked before and don't have one
Hopefully, you use a passcode to unlock your lock screen. It is that passcode that is required to update IOS. See Settings > Passcode.

I updated my softwarew in my iphone. The update completed but when I wanted to open the device, access code is required, I typed . the code, it can be wrong i try again but then the device is locked. at pelephone corporetion said the solution is to delete everything on the device and
. Reinstall the software
. Is there no other solution' may be i can cancel the codeYou can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device. If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match.
Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy. -
I have given my iPad and iPhone to my wife, she has synchronized with her Apple ID but it keeps going back to my Apple ID when she tries to purchase something in iTunes. Do I need to deregister the device and register it in her Apple ID?
What id shows at the bottom of the Featured tabs in the App Store apps on the two devices ? If they still show your account id then try tapping on the id and log out of it and your wife can then try logging in with her account.
Any content that is already on them that was downloaded by your account will remain tied to your account, so only your account will be able to download updates to your apps. -
my kids enetered the wrong unlock code on my ipod touch too many times and now the screen says IPOD DISABLED connect to itunes. I have tried connecting it to itunes and I cant because the ipod is locked. need help please! any ideas? Thanks, Nick
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

You can only add songs to your iOS device from iTunes via Wi-Fi sync or via your cable, not Bluetooth.

That's an entirely different issue, unrelated to your iOS devices.
