HT201442 how do i get through the passcode screen to set my iphone back up

i am trying to us my old iphone because my current one broke. my old one is disabled from trying the passcode too many times, so i am trying to get through it. the phone is not activated because i cant get through it!

You don't.
It is all or nothing.
You should be syncing contact with your computer regularly, so they should be in whatever program you have chosen to sync.
You should be importing all pics regularly, so they should be on your computer as well.

HT201365 How do I unlock the activation code from icloud if I find my lost phone and I don't remember the passcode or never set one?

I forgot the passcode on my phone. Can I unlock it remotely, ie. via iCloud?

No, not if you didn't lock it by placing it in lost mode.

Why the properties cannot be set and saved?

HI
I made a java application using unmaneged ras.
I tried to do this :
try{
           reportClientDocument.open("rassdk://C:/test/aaa.rpt", 0);
           //trying to set user and pass for a table
           if (reportClientDocument.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables().size()>0)
                reportClientDocument.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables().getTable(0).getConnectionInfo().setUserName("user");
                reportClientDocument.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables().getTable(0).getConnectionInfo().setPassword("pass");
           //trying to set parameter name and description
           if (reportClientDocument.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition().getParameterFields().size()>0))
                reportClientDocument.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition().getParameterFields().getField(0).setName("param0");
                reportClientDocument.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition().getParameterFields().getField(0).setDescription("enter value for param0:");
         reportClientDocument.saveAs("test.rpt", "rassdk://C:/test",1);
           reportClientDocument.close();
          System.out.println("Finish");
        catch(ReportSDKException ex1){
               ex1.printStackTrace();
          catch(IOException ex2){
               ex2.printStackTrace();
The table(0) conn info and the parameter(0) are changed only at runtime but the changes aren't saved in the test.rpt report.
My question is why the test.rpt report doesn't get the properties that i set and how can I do this?

Checking from app whether a passcode lock is set for Ipad

Hi,
Since my app would be dealing with sensitive data of the user, I would like to know if there is a way I can check from my app whether there is a Passcode Lock set for the Ipad.
The reason I need to check this is because say if the user has in the app some information and then keeps it on the table and goes out for a couple of minutes. The ipad/iphone by default, goes to standby mode. If a passcode lock had been set, only when the correct passcode is entered, would anyone be able to use the ipad. This would provide an additional security measure to prevent any passerby to view the sensitive data from the app.
So basically, I would like my app to check whether the passcode lock is set and if not prompt the user to do it.
Is this possible and if so, would any one be able to point me in the right direction?

thanks for the link..
well, that still does not give me what I need.. I have implemented that functionality already in my app..
Since this is a client requirement, I need to make sure whether it is possible or not.. so again, I need to check from my app, whether there is a passcode set in the ipad ( so that only when the passcode is typed, will the ipad be unlocked) . if a passcode lock is not set in the ipad, then I should be able to tell the user to do it...

I clicked on an upgrade box and when the upgrade was done my ipad wanted my passcode to open it up. I have not had to use a passcode to open up my ipad since I set it up and cannot remember the passcode. Every time I try a passcode it disables

I clicked on an upgrade box on my ipad and when the upgrade was done my ipad wanted my passcode to open it back up. I have not had to use a passcode to open up my ipad since I set it up and cannot remember the passcode. Every time I try a passcode it disables for longer and longer. It is now disabling for an hour at a time.

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
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.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. 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.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Otherwise follow varjak paw recommendation

I set up a passcode to ensure the security of my iPhone 5 but, when I enter it on the home screen, I repeatedly receive an error message and my phone locks. Is there a way to reset the passcode when I am unable to gain access to my phone?

I figured that was the case, but I've used the same passcode for years and I can't seem to figure out how I managed to screw it up when I set up my phone. Without being able to access my phone for a restore, how would I accomplish this? iTunes? Thank you very much for you help!

TS3297 when I press the iTunes button on my ipod touch I get the message 'cannot connect to iTunes store' . My wifi is working fine, I can connect to safari & you tube, no parental setting in place, and time and date are correct. Can anyone help please?

When I press the iTunes button on my ipod touch I get the message 'cannot connect to iTunes store' . My wifi is working fine, I can connect to safari & you tube, no parental setting in place, and time and date are correct. Can anyone help please? I have restored my ipod to factory settings and rest it.

I also tried moving the date forward by a year and then moving it back to normal and it still doesn't work. i can't find an automatic update of time zones on my itouch to turn this off.

How can I check my passcode I updated today and when I am going to reset all content and setting my iPhone 4S they asked me for passcode when I entered the passcode the one I just update too is doesn't want to accept it

how can I check my passcode I updated today and when I am going to reset all content and setting my iPhone 4S they asked me for passcode when I entered the passcode the one I just update too is doesn't want to accept it

I have had the same problem with iPad recently not too sure why it happened but if you are completing a full reset anyway the easiest way is the restore via itunes on your computer and then set up a new passcode again. Resetting via itunes doesnt require a passcode so it should go straight through.
Hope this helps

Is there a way to keep my child from changing the passcode I set up on his iPhone4? If not, how can I gain access to his phone if he refuses to tell me the passcode?

He has an iPhone 4 running iOS 7.1.2. When setting up restrictions on his phone, there is no option to disable changing the passcode. He is very deceitful and has changed the passcode on it before, which resulted in me having to do a factory restore. I want to be able to see what he's looking at and doing on it.

I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places. I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file. There must be something else that's missing. My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive. If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess. I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={ Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period. I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive. Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me). As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

I no longer have the computer that I used to sync my Ipod touch. So Itunes does nto recognize it. My Ipod is diabled and locked so i cannot enter the passcode.

I no longer have the computer I used to sync my Ipod Touch when it was new. Now the Ipod is locked and disabled and Itunes requests me to enter the passcode which I cannot do becasue the Ipod is locked! Any suggestions?

If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
