Restrictions passcode does not wok anymore. If I restore factory settings and do a back up will it restore the old passcode?  Hasn't been backed up in a while

The restriction passcode stopped working.  I did not forget it.  The iPad has not been backed up for a long time.  If I back up then restore factory settings then restore backup will it still be restricted with the old passcode?

  • ITunes is saying I have to do a recovery on my iPhone 4, but doing so will restore factory settings and I'll lose photos, contacts, etc. The phone is completely frozen and I can't do anything else. Help!

    I plugged my phone into my laptop this morning and it started doing an update. I walked away from my desk, came back and had an error message and a prompt saying my phone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. But when I click "ok" to do that it says it will restore the factory settings and I'll lose all media, data and contacts. I DON'T want to do that--the whole reason I plugged my phone in this morning was to download some new photos, so I can't lose them!
    The phone isn't working...it's showing a usb connector pointing to an iTunes icon.
    Help!!!

    If your phone is in recovery mode, you've already lost all data on the phone...its gone. Your only option now is to restore the phone, either from backup or as a new device.

    Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card.

    There is no difference, you didnt get "shorted" Mavericks is a FREE DOWNLOAD
    Open the APP store and download Mavericks.
    You didnt buy a "clearance" item, you just got an Air that was there at the shop before Mavericks was released.
    There is no difference other than a 40 min. download.

  • HT203977 is there any way to restore factory settings on an Iphone 5s that will not connect to Itunes because the phone is locked with a pass code.  Problem is that the screen is completely shattered.

  • IPod not seen in Itunes, restore factory settings and...

    It works, I have a working iPod until I decided to remove it from my PC (usually more than once). I took it in the car the other day, plugged it back into my computer and iTunes still saw it fine. Took it again today, bring it home, plug it back into computer and open iTunes. iTunes suddenly can't view the contents, etc. It works as a hard drive in Windows.
    I've reset and restored about 10 times now. It keeps doing this. iTunes sees it fine then randomly one day stops seeing it. Today when I plugged it back in, iTunes couldn't see it and then it suddenly had only one artists left on it (when I had JUST played it and it had 1,200+ songs on it definitely by more than once artist). All of my pics were still there but the music? All gone except the one artist. This has happened ever since iTunes had a update your software on your iPod warning. I did. Since then I have to restore every time or every other time that I want to connect it to iTunes, re-synch all of my pics and music, put the files back on the hard drive... and two days later do it all over again.
    It's getting really frustrating. Is there any fix that works and KEEPS it fixed? The ones listed on the site have all been tried, day after day, after day. sigh

    I had a problem with my iPod Video 60GB being updated when I updated to iTunes 7 and it got worse (had to wait a very long time for it to update my iPod if it ever did) when I updated to iTunes 7.0.1.8. Then I was advised that iTunes shouldn't have installed with the 'old iPod updaters' still installed, but it did. So I uninstalled the 'old iPod updaters' via 'Add and Remove Programs' in control panel. When I rebooted iTunes said the iPod software was missing and instructed me to re-install iTunes. After the re-install everything runs great. Presently, I only have iTunes 7.0.1.8, Apple Software Update on my computer and version 1.2 on my iPod.

  • Playing music the screen freezes and if i want to make changes it will not let me.I go to restore factory settings and afterwards i am able to listen,view album covers,and change the type of music i want.Is there a better way to do this? Thx

    When playing music on my ipad the screen freezes and i am not able to view album covers or make any changes i am only able to hear what i selected.
    This is the third time it has happened since i updated to the new IOS 5.1. It never happened before.
    If i go to Summary and restore the ipad to the factory settings then i'm able to run it as normal.
    Is this a glitch in the new software,or a problem with my ipad?
    Thanks for any help

    Thanks Russ H and Ross H!
    I'm finding Multicam, combined with Compound Clips to be extrememly efficient.
    I started with 2 different video clips, along with 2 different audio clips.
    Layed out both clips side by side (visually, they are on top of each other on the timeline),and made that a single compound clip.
    Then I laid out both audio clips on top of each other on the timeline and made those a compound clip.
    So now I have
    2 original individual Video shots
    1 compound video shot of the 2 above side by side.
    2 original audio tracks
    1 compound audio track
    Next I made a multicam track, and added to it all 3 video shots (2 original + 1 compound) And I added the compound audio track. I set that audio track to be "the" track.
    It's just a little bit of setup, but really not that bad, and the ability to use the multicam feature to switch between shots, while keeping everything in sync is fantastic!

  • Url does not show up in address bar...and when i type in a search box, the cursor jumps up to the address bar automatically

    I'm not sure what happened. However, I can never see the URL in the address bar anymore.
    I go from page to page, and the URL shows only for a split second, then disappers.
    All the address bar says is "Search or enter address"
    I copy and paste a lot of URL links for work, so this makes it very painful and a hassle now.
    Where now i need to go back, right click on a link, and do "copy link location".
    Where as i used to just go up to the address bar and copy the URL.
    Also, I notice now when I start typing on certain search boxes.
    The cursor automatically jumps to the URL address bar as soon as I start typing. Which is really annoying.
    It will only do it once it seems....but its annoying when i try to type a search...only to see that i've been typing in the URL address box cus it jumped up there.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Try some basic troubleshooting.
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    *In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    *In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • HT1551 My iTunes music library disappear from my AppleTv 1rst generation, and would not accept it back. The Video part works find, but the Music part does not. I reseted to Original factory settings, but still has same problem. Any body has any suggestion

    I have a 1rst generation Apple TV and My Music disappear; after trying several times trying to get My Music back, I opted by resetting it back to Original settings with no avail. The video part is find, all my movies are there, but when it comes to the Music nothing shows up.
    Does anybody know what could be happening here and have any suggestions how fix it ?

    So, when you go to Devices->AppleTVname->Music in the left panel of iTuens, you have:
    1. "Sync music" checked
    2. Either "All songs and playlists" or "Selected playlists" plus actual playlists selected
    Correct?
    And of course, in those actual playlists, there is music?
    Is htis iTMS purchased music, or mp3's?

  • Standard shortcut for "flow" does not work anymore

    Hi there :-)
    The standard shortcut for setting the flow of a brush or stamp does not work anymore. When using shift + 0-9 nothing happens. It works correctly for the opacity when I use 0-9.
    When I turn on the airbrush-mode it's not switching the commands entirely... Flow is still not settable with 0-9 but opacity cannot be set either by shift + 0-9.
    I can access the opacity by hitting "enter" and then use the tab to switch to the flow but that's not what I wanna do.
    Can anyone help my to find out what happened to These commands? The Shift-keys work fine btw... I'm using them for other commands (in and outside of PS)  .
    If anyone knows how to change these standard hotkeys let me know as well.
    Thnx, Michelle

  • Pages does not open anymore after the latest update

    I did all suggested problem solving steps, but after the last update Pages does not open anymore.
    It opens a window and immediately crashes again.
    I paid for it, and I used it for my business - and I'm so angry, that there is no support for apps in fact...

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Turn off iCloud for Pages on your mobile device at Settings > Pages > Use iCloud > Off.
    Open Pages on your computer and move any documents in iCloud to your desktop for safe keeping.
    Navigate to system preferences > iCloud > Manage and check that Pages documents are not taking any space in the cloud, delete them if they are.
    Enable iCloud syncing for Pages on your mobile device and launch the App.
    If Pages now opens properly, start to add back documents from your desktop one at a time (or in small groups if you have many).

  • I forgot the passcode to turn off restrictions. I have restored my iPad back to the factory settings and then synced it with the latest backup. The restrictions are still on and it is asking for the passcode. Can someone tell me how to get that off.

    I forgot the passcode to turn off restrictions. I have restored my iPad back to the factory settings and then synced it with the latest backup. The restrictions are still on and it is asking for the passcode. Can someone tell me how to get that off.

    The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings.  Hope you have a backup.
    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/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.

  • Double escaping suddenly does not work anymore.

    Hello,
    We have WCF Data Service that is configured to use
    double escaping according to this article
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/peter_qian/archive/2010/05/25/using-wcf-data-service-with-restricted-characrters-as-keys.aspx
    During a long time (a year or more) this solution worked well for us. And suddenly, a week ago, we found that on some our services (in cloud, in out of cloud)
    double escaping does not work anymore.
    For example, request to our service may looks like
    http://service-host/odata-service/ContentTreeNodes('ID-%257BFEE06CEE-F667-45A2-9014-394F4B7CD3B0%257D')/
    In sample above we have ID that without double escaping looks like ID-{FEE06CEE-F667-45A2-9014-394F4B7CD3B0}
    But when our service processes this request ID becomes like ID-%7BFEE06CEE-F667-45A2-9014-394F4B7CD3B0%7D.
    And that is means that .NET (WCF Data Services) infrastructure removes only single escaping and forget (ignore) to remove second one.
    We have an assumption that issue probably maybe caused by some Windows security update. Because on some PCs it works well.
    Does anybody have similar issues?

    Hi,
    I suppose you tried to uninstall this patch from Azure VM. If so then yes, it can not be done. Seems it prohibited by MS or at least I do not have answer how to do it.
    At the same time I had no such problems with out of cloud PCs.
    BWT, we recently found that we do not require double escaping anymore in our service, because single escaping now works well for us. Looks like MS fixed an issue regarding # symbol in URL path. Now if URL has # in some URL path (for example in entity ID),
    then single escaped # works well.

  • Java Web Start Application surprisedly does not start anymore based on new JRE1.7.0_45

    Hi everyone,
    we have to maintain a self-developed Java Application which is running based on JRE1.5.0_51 (x64). Our recent client machines have JRE1.7.0_40 (x64 too) installed in addition to the mentioned (and needed) JRE1.5.0_51 (x64).
    Everything was fine up to the point where we tried to install the newest JRE1.7.0_45 (x64) as the new version for doing the web start magic. The result is that our application (which is/was unchanged!) does not launch anymore. The strange thing is that we do not get any StackTrace, Exception or something else like this.
    The startup process simply hangs :-(
    Nothing has changed (application itself, firewall, network settings, hardware) apart from the new JRE version. It's reproducible at will. If I install JRE1.7.0_40 (x64) the application starts, if I install JRE1.7.0_45 (x64) the application hangs.
    I can say for sure, that in both cases (*_40 AND *_45) Web Start is able to do the synchronizing job and to launch the application base on the correct JRE1.5.0_51 (x64).
    My guess is that in case of an installed JRE1.7.0_45 (x64), the application hangs when it tries to connect to the database (Oracle 11g) via JDBC.
    I found a little hint in the Web Start Console. Therefore I had to switch the trace level of the console to 3 (which includes security, network and basic)
    In case of an installed JRE1.7.0_40 (x64) - which leads to a running application - I will receive the following output:

    These last "network:" log entries will never stop. This will lead to an infinite loop which results in a great memory leak. I have to kill the process via windows task manager in order to get rid of it.
    Does someone out there has the same problem? Are there any new additional security issues which prevent my client to establish the database connection on port 1521?
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks in advance for any hint on this issue!

    Alex

    Resolution: We still were not able to solve this issue! The only way to get out of this is to install the JRE1.5 as the x64 variant. In this case no switching from 64-bit to 32-bit is needed and everything is on track again.
    But this is still strange and unexplainable :-(
