My iPhone is disabled, and I need to restore it, how do you do this?

So I was just on the phone with Apple, and apparently you now have to pay for help on the phone? Stupidest idea ever, but what are you going to do? Anyways, some of my friends thought it would be funny to disable my phone, and now it says "Connect to iTunes" and whenever I connect it to iTunes, it says "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "jakes iPhone" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." How do they expect me to enter my passcode when it's disabled? How do I fix this, it's bugging me that I can't get into my phone. Also, I heard you have to restore your iPhone, how do you do this? I don't know how the new iTunes works, it's really frustrating.
P.S- When I tried to restore it, it says "Are you sure you want to restore the iPhone "jakes iPhone" to it's factory settings?"
I don't want to restore my phone to it's factory settings, that's what it doesn't get.
The point of the passcode is so that it doesn't get any person information taken away. But what's the point if this happens? I mean, either way, I have to delete all the crap anyways to get it working again... Please help me, thanks.

The point of a passcode is to protect your information from "friends" who do things to you like they just did. They have disabled your device and you have to restore your phone in iTunes. Hopefully you have performed a backup recently and you can restore from that backup. As far as paying for support, you don't have a mechanic diagnose and repair your car problems without paying so why would Apple or any other company not charge for support? However, any charge that you have to pay for support to fix this issue......I would have my so called friends pay the bill.

I work from home and they were checking my certificates and said that there is fiddleroot on my computer and I need it fixed. How do I do this?

I work from home and my headset is always cutting in and out and I am also being disconnected during work hours. This is a huge issue and talking to my tech support team they said that there is something called fiddleroot on my computer which makes certificates for every site I go to, which in turn makes my certificates I need for work not work. I need help removing this from my computer. Please help.

hello Tiffany2181982, unfortunately the fiddler2.com issuer in certificates might be a sign of unwanted software present on your pc that is intercepting secure network traffic. please go into the system control panel and uninstall programs like BrowserSafeguard, BrowserSafe, SafeGuard or other software that sounds suspicious and didn't get installed by you intentionally.
<br><sub>reference: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/982532#answer-520145</sub>
afterwards, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

I need help!! My iPhone 4s lost contacts in messages after restore! How can I fix this?

Earlier today I turned my phone off and back on...then I noticed that my contacts in my messages were not showing up, only the numbers. I tried to do a backup restore-- didn't work. I tried adding a +1 in front of all my contacts, that didn't work either. My contacts are still there, they are just not syncing with my messages. How can I fix this?

Connect the Nano to iTunes and restore it to factory settings. This process erases all content/media from the Nano and sets it back to its original default settings. See here for instructions on restoring it to factory settings.

As Niel stated, you cannot merge them.
You can keep the purchased items in your iTunes library and use them with no issues.
Just pick one of the AppleIDs and stick with that one.

FireFox doesn't fully close so whenever I reopen it refuses to open secure sites I had up when I closed it; it keeps thinking that the tab is already open and wont open another one. How do you fix this?

Whenever I close Firefox and then reopen it later on it opens the last webpage I had open before closing the browser instead of my homepage. It seems that exiting Firefox doesn't fully shut it down and just puts it into hibernation mode. This has become a problem because when I have a secure webpage open when I close the web browser, without logging out of the page, and then try to go to that page again it thinks that it's already open and wont open another page for me. This means that I can't even navigate to the page to log out. I think it might be just a setting with Firefox 4 but not sure which one, any suggestions?

For possible causes and solutions see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]].
