Please help. I set a password on my restrictions and now I've forgotten it. How can I reset it.
Follow the instructions in iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

I don't remember setting a pascode in the restrictions and now I can not get my icloud on, can you help me?
If you don't remember the restrictions passcode, your only option is to force the phone into recovery mode and restore it as a new device.
Do NOT restore your backup. The restrictions settings are part of the backup. -

I entered a password on the backup, and now that I want to restore I can't remember the password. Is there a way in which I reset the password?
If you do not know the password, then you cannot use the backup.
Sorry -

‘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.

I really don't know computers.
I have been working here now for three months and it is just me who works here so I can't ask anyone.
It was working fine until all of a sudden when i press get mail i get:
please enter a password for user ...... on server ...... .
I have not set the pasword and I can't get in contact with the person who did.
Is there any chance of deleting it? Go passed it? I work at a hostel and we make all our bookings via email. I really need this to work!You administer your email password with your email provider. You need to work with them to reset a forgotten password.
Go to their web mail or email help site and look for a link to reset your password. -
I accidentally set my ipad's keyboard to arabic, and my password for it has all english letters, and now I can't get into my ipad.
What do I do?Have u backed up your ipad to iTunes recently? You could restore it from a backup. That would restore your ipad to a point in time that your keyboard was in English.

A while back I had an upgrade available to me. I had Lion when I bought this Pro. The upgrade is Maverick. After downloading and installing the upgrade, my computer started freezing while doing anything. I might not get this completely written before it freezes. The keyboard is getting hot, and I have to use the power button to turn it off. After it has sat for at least 10 minutes, I can turn it back on. I might be able to do some work for 5 minutes, or up to 30 minutes before it freezes again. Some of my programs are not working, either.
I would appreciate any suggestions anyone might have, or even go back to Lion, if I can figure out how to.
Thanks.Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -

My desktop doesn't seem to recognize that I already have a sync account, so I tried to set up a new one. When I put in my email address, it was rejected as already in use. How do I get past this roadblock?
Hi truckerdude40!
You may have some previous iTunes software still on your computer that would be preventing you from installing or launching the new version of iTunes. Here is an article that will help you completely uninstall iTunes and all related components:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

And here is the link that will help you download iTunes again once you have completed the uninstallation:
