Partner going mad because he's convinced I've tried to gain access to his iPad 4 . It's disabled for 5 mins after he entered the wrong passcode just once . Is this a glitch? I haven't touched it ! Please help?
Ok .... My partner is going mad because he is convinced I have tried to access his iPad 4. He typed in the wrong pass code just once and it has disabled itself for 5 mins leaving him convinced that I have tried to get into it . I haven't. He is really angry and I've done nothing . Now he has turned the wifi off and my kids can't play their xboxes .
Is this a glitch possible on ipad4?
What other possible causes are there?
The iPad has been banged screen down on hard surface a couple of times..... Could this attribute to the issue?
Please will someone answer me? He wont believe me and I haven't touched anything
If the iPad has been "banged down on hard surface" it is possible that just a touch of the screen, or coming near the screen, may have resulted in a false entry. Or it could be the kids.
Either way you need to dump your partner and get your kids out of that environment. Your partner has anger management issues and needs counseling.

I am unable to register my debit card after creating my apple ID. Whenever i click "continue" after filling all the debit card details, it shows that, "Your payement method has been declined". Please help me people, why is it so.? Also, i would ike to tell that my bank is, Union Bank Of India and it facilitates the auto conversion, rupee to dollar.. I think there is a different problem. Please help me guys.!!
The card must be issued in the same country as the store you are trying to use. If you're trying to sign up for the US Apple Store, it must be a US card with a US billing address. If you're trying to sign up in India, it must be an Indian card with an Indian billing address.
Apple will run a small charge, which will be credited back, to make sure the card is valid. If it is a debit card and you do not have enough in the account to cover the authorization, it will be declined.
It is possible the currency conversion you mentioned may be causing a problem. Contact the issuing bank if you are sure you have enough in the account and you are signing up for the correct store. -
My little children Majd entered the wrong passcode for more than 10 times, my iPhone automatically got reset all data was deleted. I managed to retrieve the contacts only but I'm unable to retrieve my SMS's and my photos???? Can you help me please ???
Hi,
Did you ever back up your phone on the computer?
Did you use photo stream at all?
May I suggest changing your passcode lock to a letters and numbers lock (if not all ready it will make your iphone more secure and a restore lock otion shouldent be needed). Then change your setting as well preventing restore after ten incorect passwords.

My daughter has entered the wrong passcode too many times on her iPOD Touch, it is now disabled. When I connect to iTunes, it will not let me go any further until I enter the correct passcode. I no longer get the option to do this, all I get is iPOD disabled. Help Please
Restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

I have had the same account for over 4 years. I have had my ipod touch for 2 years and have always been able to access the itunes store and download content from my pc and my ipod touch. A few months ago, I started to receive the message that I've entered the wrong password but I know that it is correct. I can download all I want from my pc without any problems at all. How do I get my device to accept my itunes password so that I can get back to downloading content directly to my device?
I'm having the same issue. Just hooked up a Mac Mini and running the internet just fine over wifi, but Facetime isn't working. I'm going to try resetting my router in the morning.

Hello, I am and IIN Intitute of Integrative Nutrition in New York student. My iPAD 2 is part of my school material and was uploaded with all Videos and Audio classes for the whole program. I recently typed in my passwork incorrectly and disabled my iPad it is giving me the message " connect to i-tunes". I am afraid to loose my lectures. Could anyone help me with some information please? Thank you very much. Wouga22
If you do not have a backup you are going to lose everything on your iPad and even if you do have one, you may still be out of luck.
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
Read this very carefully before you proceed. Sometimes iTunes will allow you to restore the iPad without having to use recovery mode, but if you need to use recovery mode and don't have a backup, that is where you may have a problem.

If you need recovery mode ....
Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.

My Macbook pro is acting Crazy....the Cursor just keeps on jumping everywhere and not responding when I use the trackpad....Even when it does respond it is very slow...I thought it was the trackpad acting up but realized it wasnt when i plugged in a mouse and it still did the same thing...this happened one other time and shortly after my computer froze...I had to restart for it to work but restarting dosent help this time...can someone please help?...Is this a Virus?
It is not a virus. See my Mac Virus Guide*.
As to what it might be, that's hard to say. You should try some basic troubleshooting... Repair the hard drive with disk utility. Boot in safe mode and see if it happens then, log in to a different user account and see if it happens there, reboot from another system and see if it happens.
Apparently some people have had this kind of problem caused by swelling batteries that push on the underside of the trackpad and cause all kinds of strange problems. Is your machine's underside deformed at all?

I've installed iTunes 10.2.1 but my computer doesn't recognise the hardware certificate and denies it, and the installation isn't complete. This results in my iPod being unrecognised and so, it cant synchronize with iTunes. Please help me! My system is a Windows XP.
Malware can cause digital signing issues, I would run a malware check with the free version of MalwareBytes:
http://www.malwarebytes.org/
After that, the is a Microsoft fixit for:
The software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP. (Tell me why this testing is important.)
This software will not be installed. Contact your system administrator.

My iPad2 was being used by my wife. She put a passcode on it. She hasn't used this iPad for a while and forgot the passcode. She entered what she thought was the 4 digit passcode but the iPad did not accept it. She tried different combinations and eventually disabled the iPad. Now it has this message: "iPad is disabled connect to iTunes". I connected it to iTunes and iTunes is asking for the passcode to be entered into the iPad before it can be synced? I can't enter the passcode because the iPad is disabled. Please help how I can solve this. Thanks.
You may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and resync/restore your content to it.

My iphone is disabled.Followed the steps in itunes after connecting to my computer but getting a message saying that i must turn off 'find my iphone'' on my device before i can restore it.Impossible for me to do that because i obviously have no access to my device.Can anyone help me with this problem please?
I think you should call via phone or perhaps take it to a phone store. I suggest taking your id, box packaging and other necessities such as the reciept of the phone being purchased.
Hope this helped -
That's all I can tell you because that is all it says.
Did you find a solution?
Same problem over here as well, FF 7 is ok but FF8 / FF9 and Thunderbird 8 / 9 crash on startup.
They both work if I start them in safe mode with everything enabled. -
