There is now a restriction passcode on my iPod. I never set it. Can one be set automatically or did someone have to go in and set it?

There is now a restriction passcode on my iPod. I did not set it. Can it be set automatically or did someone go into my iPod and set it? I tried the default 0000 - it did not work.

Okay. I hope I can remeber all my steps exactly because I fixed my own problem...with absolutely no help from Apple. I opened itunes. I connected my ipod touch to my computer. On my itunes page that shows my songs in the upper right side under the search library box there is an itunes button and since I am connected there is an ipod button. DO NOT CLICK THE ARROW in the ipod button...just click in the mail part of the button. On mine it opened to a summary page that gave info on my ipod. The menu bar has Summary, Apps, Tones, Music and more. I clicked on the Music button. I chose to Sync the entire music library. That replaced what was on my ipod but what was on there was going to be put back on so I was okay with it. I then clicked the Sync button on the lower right side and it sync'd and all my songs are on my ipod again. I hope this might help someone else. Good luck.

Updated to iOS 7.0.4. Now a restrictions passcode has been set, not by me. How can this be fixed without resorting to factory restore?

Hi Mullan13,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Restoring your device is the solution for this issue, but if a backup was made you can also use that after the restore. This article provides details on how to go about this:

I realize it may not be the solution you were seeking but you should be back on track after performing these steps.

How do I reset my restrictions passcode on my iPod touch 4G?

I've been scouring this support site for 3 days. I have attempted many of the suggestions all to no avail. I need to reset the restrictions passcode on my iPod touch 4G as I have forgotten it. The back up I have on my iTunes is very recent and therefore to reset and restore will give me the same problem. Is there any way to reset the passcode if I don't know it? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. If any answers could avoid directing me to other links contained on this site that would be helpful as I've tried all of the solutions listed. iPod touch 4G iOS 6.1.6

Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes. For how to restore: iTunes: Restoring iOS software
You have to either:
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod

I never set a restrictions passcode but my ipod is asking for one help?

Can anyone help me? I'm trying to do a reset of all settings but it asks for two passcodes, my normal one to unlock my ipod but then it asks for a second passcode called a restrictions passcode but I never set one.

What do mean by full setting reset?
A few other users has said that they had a Restrictions passcode but they said then never set one. Two possibilites.
- A glitch set one
- Someone got hold of yur iPod when the screen lock was off and added one.

hello. i forgot my restriction passcode. i havn't back up so i can restore. i want to reset my iPhone4 as new.. please help me.. please???

The Restrictions passcode is part of the backup, so you would not want to restore from backup. To restore as new, just connect the phone to the computer and iTunes, and restore. If you cannot just click on restore, you may need to put the device into recovery mode. Search for infomation on that.

Help, I had aperture open and working on a image and did not have a battery in and bumped the power off. As a result it will not open my master, it is locked. when I try to open that Library it says There was an error opening the database for the library. I have tried every thing. I updated the other libr but now it will not open the main to update. What do I do?

Try starting Aperture with the command and option keys held down. You'll get 3 options.
Try each, starting at the top, in order, checking after each to see if it fixes the issue.

'Locked' can have two meanings. It can mean locked to a specific carrier (service provider); if you want to unlock it to use it with another carrier only the original carrier can unlock it.
More likely you are talking about the other meaning, where a phone is 'Activation Locked'. Is this a second-hand (used) phone? If it is, and the previous owner has set up Activation Lock, this will prevent you doing anything with the phone at all.
If this is the case, only the previous owner can unlock it, either by giving you his Apple ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices - details here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
If you can't contact the previous owner to get him to do this you will be unable to use the phone. Only he can unlock it: Apple cannot do it for you.
On the other hand, if it is a new phone and you have managed to set up a passcode (though this is nothing to do with iCloud) please see this Apple Help page:

Is there a way to get a version of the Garage Band app that runs on version 5.1.1? I have an iPad 1 and can't get any higher iOS. The App store is telling me that Garage Band only runs on iOS 7.

Unfortunately the answer is still no.

Only one of my earbuds on my bose headphones works with my ipad, iphone and macbook- if I hold them there the right earbud will work, but for the life of me, I can't get them to both work. Why is this? And is Apple doing anything about this?

While Apple's headphones have (finally) admittedly gotten better of late, I still prefer the much more comfortable headphones & sound quality that Bose makes and that I spent the money for.

I added some songs to my itunes but now my itunes won't play the songs - it says it can't locate the song although the Itunes match is turned on and it says all of my songs are in the cloud - anyone have any thoughts

Did you delete the hard copy of the songs from your computer after you uploaded them?
If so just highlight the said songs and delete but do not check the box that says delete from iCloud and your songs should play fine.
This happens when the original file is moved from the location that itunes was looking for it at and if you did this because you uploaded it then it will still be in the cloud you just need itunes to read from cloud and not think it's supposed to be finding the original file

There is now a restriction passcode on my iPod. I never set it. Can one be set automatically or did someone have to go in and set it?
