Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. You have no iCloud since that requies iOS 5 If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes. If yo do not have a backup yo can't restoe from backup

HT1212 Iphone is locked but I can't restore because "find my iphone" is on. I'm prompted to turn it off in settings but, obviously, I can't because I'm locked out due to too many incorrect passcode attempts. What should I do? PS: I downloaded IOS7 toda

Iphone is locked but I can't restore because "find my iphone" is on. I'm prompted to turn it off in settings but, obviously, I can't because I'm locked out due to too many incorrect passcode attempts. What should I do? PS: I downloaded IOS7 today. My passcode was never enabled! But after I installed the new software it automatically turned it on. I hadn't used it in so long, I couldn't remember my last passcode, hence the lockout.

Hello 199Seth
Reset the password and that will take care of activating your iPhone.

You can't. Until the previous owner removes the activation lock, the device is useless to you; Apple won't remove it unless presented with proof that the registered owner is dead.

Just got new hard drive and now itunes wont work

I had my hard drive replaced in April and started having problems right away. I finally had a chance to bring it in today and they replaced the hard drive again. I don't have an external hard drive so I couldn't back up my music that way, so I tried using CDs and that didn't work either. At the store, the guy that was helping me suggested I use a flash drive. So, he did that for me. He said when I set up the computer I should open the flash drive first and drag and drop the saved music into the music folder and then open itunes. I did the first part but when I opened itunes I got a message saying "The file 'itunes library' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes.
Does anyone know what that means? itunes wont open at all and I can't even listen to my old music. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you try using the File>Add to Library option? I would dump everything you put in the music folder, since it's not recognizing it, and then try to re-import it using that option.
Technically, the prompt means that you're using, for example, iTunes 7 to try to open a file that iTunes 9 created, and it won't be able to do it. Do you know what version of iTunes you used to create the original file, and which version you're using now? It's hard to imagine the one you're currently using is older than the one creating the file.

After i installed ios7, my ipad ask for paascode that i never set it up with and now is locked. what should i do to unlock it !?

My ipad after installing ios 7 is locked and asking for passcode that i never gave it to. what should i di to unlock it. Thnx

Are your sure that the iPad is not asking you to CREATE a passcode. It will do this as part of the iOS 7 upgrade. If the device is truly asking for a passcode and it is now locked take a look at this Apple support page

TS3274 my ipad said "iCloud Backup - This ipad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. backups ......" i couldn't click as its seems to locked. what should I do?

My ipad looks like been blocked. what should I do? My ipad said.
"This ipad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi.
What is my ipad's problem?

You need to make sure that you are connected to a WiFi network and have a good amount of battery power left, if not plug in a charger to be on the safe side. Once done go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Backup Now
This is basically your iPad giving you a gentle reminder to back it up.

My iphone 5s got wet, what should i do?

Yesterday, I was at a pool party with my friends and i brought my iphone 5s that was in a water-proofed bag(its like a ziplock bag but more secure) to the pool (for you know selfies and ****) and i put the bag with my iphone in my pocket then went in to the pool. Of course, I was very unsure with this idea but my friend said it'll be okay so i just left it in my pocket for just about 1 min or 30 sec in the pool because i got worried and checked it. WELL WHAT DID I KNOW, WATER WAS IN THE BAG BUT LITERALLY MY IPHONE GOT WATER DAMAGED BY A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER IN THE BAG. And yes, i checked if the bag would be secure many times before i went in the water. So after i realized that my phone got water damaged, i immediately wiped it with a towel and blow dried it for 10 min or so but nothing occurred, screen was still black. I was trying to find a bag of rice but of course, it was a pool party, noone has a bag of rice1?!?? So i just put my iphone to sit and didnt touch it until i got home. Today, it still doesnt show any signs of resurrection so im going to take it to apple this week.
Well, life isn't naive so i just accepted it plus im in apple care so whenever my phone gets damaged, it'll be repaired by apple but one thing i'm worried is about the data because it has been a month since i last backed up my phone.
Can apple retrieve my data (especially my photos, photos are so important)? What should i do to retrieve it in any way possible???
Any suggestions or advices are appreciated, thanks.

I had dropped what was my iphone 4s in the toilet once, panicked, got it out, dried it....came home left it overnight in RICE. Next morning it worked as if I had not dropped it. Give it a shot. Good Luck!

My apple account got locked what do I do

My iPhones apple account got locked because I forgot my questions what do I do to get it unlocked

Locked? Does it say it has been disabled?
You can log into appleid.apple.com and it might unlock it. If it doesnt, then it might be for security reasons and you need to contact Apple Support to get it unlocked by calling 1-800-MYAPPLE.

In explorer when I go to my banks sites - I see a lock - what should I look for in Fkirefox

I have only used explorer - so I am new to this browzer. When I visit my bank or am about to use paypal I see a lock, so I know the site is secure - what should I look for with Firefox?

They've been silly and removed it.
I've posted my thoughts on this here.
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/811720#answer-227481
You now need to click on the icon on to the left of the websites address on the address bar!!!
So if you look up now you'll see mozilla.com icon on the address bar!
Edit; '''In addition this would be a workaround for FF5 to get the Padlock back!!'''

HT5576 My ipod just got stolen what should I do?

How do i block my apple id and credit card info?

Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.
