Q10 has locked me out completely. Won't turn on but red light flashing to specific pattern

Help! Turned my Q10 off yesterday to reset as emails not getting through. Now won't turn back on - just a little red light flashing at top right of device in a specific pattern. Nightmare-any ideas??

Connect your Q10 to the known working OEM wall outlet charger.
After being connected several minutes, LEAVE it connected and remove the battery a minute, and reinsert... does it reboot?

My BB won't turn on the red light flashes and the key's light up

Hi
I have read all posts relating to my problem, but one thing my BB won't do is resgister on my computer. The phone will not turn on, has the red light flashing and the keys light up, but the screen will not come on. I have tried taking the battery out, charging it all night, all the recommended/ideas from this sight, but no joy. I have only had this phone since July last year. I haven't been able to try updating phone etc as it won't register on my or my husbands computer please help
Louise

Hi,
The way you presented it made me think it had just happened.
So you have had the phone since July has it ever worked?
Most likely you are missing some or all of your device OS and you'll need to reload the device.
Because the phone can't generate enough signal you will have to "force detect it". I've attached the link below. If you want to proceed I'll need what version of Device OS and what version of desktop manager software.
Thanks,

i have a new email so have a new apple ID now and am trying to change it in icloud. but it has locked me out and won't send my email a reset password link for some reason. even though it says its sent, it doesnt come to the email address. help!

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

My Iphone 4 has locked me out. Homescreen will show up but cannot get slider to open keypad. SOmetimes if I tap enough things the key pad will display. When I enter the passcode it will not register. If I hit each passcode number twice it will register but then tells me I have the wrong code. I also have boxes and rectangles that appear to highlight items which never used to come up. Anyone have any experience with something like this?

Wow! Its impressive for you to load iOS 4.2 onto the iPhone 4S. How did you do that?
Moving along, press and hold both the power button and home button together for about 10 seconds. Then, press the power putton to turn it back on.

Try:
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

My daughter cannot get into her IPOD with the current password. She changed her password but it has locked her out and won't let her in. It says it is disabled and to try again later. Can her password be sent to her email address? What can we do?

Hey panda1111,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Follow the steps below to try and bring the BlackBerry Z10 back to life:
Ensure that BlackBerry Link is installed on the PC or Mac OS
Ensure the computer has an internet connection.
Launch the BlackBerry Link Software.
Note: A backup of the BlackBerry device should be tried before a reload.
Turn off the BlackBerry device. Make sure there are no flashing LEDs and that the LCD is not still being lit by the backlight. If there are any flashing LEDs, hold the power button for 15 seconds until the LEDs stop.
Connect the BlackBerry device to the computer.
When prompted with Cannot communicate with device, click Restore and then click yes allow the update to be downloaded and installed on the BlackBerry device.
If the restore button is not seen press the vertical dots in the lower right corner of BlackBerry Link and select disconnected device. Highlight the disconnected device you are working with and attempt steps 4 to 6 again.
If the issue still persists, then I suggest contacting your network service provider for repair options.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

After installing iOS 5, my ipad 2 will not accept my access code and has locked me out

after installing iOS 5, my ipad 2 will not accept my access code and has locked me out. Any ideas?

I don't know if your symptoms are the same as mine, but my problem is the same. Specifically:
My update seemed to go fine, but I noticed that items in Notification Center were not current or missing, as compared to the iPhone. Also, when iTunes saw the iPad without it being connected by cable, the portion of the iTunes screen that displayed the OS status was blank, and it told me that I had to connect physically to update. When I did, iTunes confirmed that iOS 5 was indeed installed and current.
With this, I decided to shut down the iPad completely, and restart it. When it came back up, the lock screen had changed. I now get a full keyboard (not just a number pad). When I attempt to enter my 4-digit passcode (and I know I'm entering the correctone), the iPad won't take it. Now it's completely locked and I can't access it.
The odd thing is the way the screen changed to display a full keyboard on the lock screen. This didn't happen to the iPhone.
All devices are running the current versions of everything.

My iPhone 3 is disabled and has locked me out

My iPhone 3 has locked me out saying it is disabled and to connect to iTunes. So I connect it to iTunes, then iTunes says it cannot connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a passcode? Both ways I'm locked out of the phone completely.

See if this helps

My ipad has locked me out. It says ipad hasnt been backed up. Needs to be plugged in, locked, and connected to wifi. It won't let me do anything. How do I fix it?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Should each person in my house have their own apple id and password?
Can each of the different ID's be linked back to my apple account so that when they purchase apps and music it will be charged to my credit card?

Ask Google... they locked you out of the email account.
