Trying to reset ipad location & privacy, but password is required
I have been having a problem with Find My Friends - the labels show the email addresses and I'd like them to show my friends' names. Following some instructions I found here in the community, I am trying to reset the location & privacy. However, when I try to do so, I am prompted for a password. I tried both the regular locking password and the restriction password. Neither works.
Is there a special password to do this step? Or is there another way to get the display to show my friends names in Find My friends?
Thank you!
Good news...sort of. I didn't solve the password issue, but I was able to solve the name issue in Find My friends without having to reset location services.
I went to settings>Privacy>contacts. I just needed to flip the switch to allow find my friends to access contacts.
I still wish I knew what password I need to reset Location & Privacy.....I have only set up 2 passwords on this ipad and neither works.

If you already have a valid rescue email address, send the email to it, wait a few hours, and check the spam filter. If you don't, use the instructions in that article to contact Apple as if you had one security question and lost the Apple ID password.

4 hours ago my iphone randomly turned off and now i cant get it to turn back on. Ive tried everything, trying to reset it, charging it but nothing works! the charging symbol doesnt even come up when i plugged in the charger. Please help!
Hello there, LaruaGalliers.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great troubleshooting steps for your issue:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Particularly:
Battery does not charge
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
iPhone or iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
If you see the image below, charge the iPhone or iPod touch with USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.
You should see this image when iPhone or iPod touch begins to charge:
If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning the iPhone or iPod touch off and then on again.
If the issue persists, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro. -
I just got a new iPhone 4S and tried to restore but it didn't finished downloading all the apps, tried to reset and restore again, but it wouldn't start over. What can I do?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Check USB connections
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware. -

2. Fill out and submit this form. Select the topic, Account Security. You must
have a Rescue Email to use this option.
3. This is the only option if you do not already have a valid Rescue Email.
These are telephone numbers for contacting Apple Support in your country.
Apple ID- Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. Select
the appropriate country and call. Ask to speak to the Account Security Team.
4. Account security issues almost always require you to speak directly to an
Apple representative to securely establish your identity as the account holder.
You can set it up so that Apple calls you, either immediately or at a time
convenient to you.
1. Go to www.apple.com/support.
2. Choose Contact Support and click Contact Us.
3. Choose Other Apple ID Topics and choose the appropriate topic for
your issue.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions.
Note: If you have already forgotten your security questions, then you cannot

the rescue email address beforehand.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have apple ID for my iphone 5, but unfortunately I forgot my security answers. I'm trying to reset my security answers, but rescue e-mail what is mentioned no more exist. Could you help me to change rescue e-mail adress?
Hope of your help.
Thank you in advance.We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple
You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact Support to get the questions reset.
I assume that you are in the country Georgia, not the US state. In which case try contacting Support via this page and explain that you've forgotten your answers, don't have access to your rescue email account, and your country isn't on the HT5699 page (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699) and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset you can then use steps 1 to 7 half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to update your rescue email address for potential future use -

I'm trying to reset my iPhone 4S but I have no internet as my wifi has broken and I have no data left, I have tried connecting to a computer which did not work any help would be grateful thanks
A reset has nothing to do with Internet access or data access.
A reset is simply pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.

Update on the Fafard class action lawsuit involving the cancelled Itunes gift cards here:
http://www.courthousenews.com/2014/04/22/67224.htm
Apparently, although complaint there suggested involved Best Buy only, it was the intermediary used by Apple that cancelled the cards not either Best Buy or Apple itself. Settlement would reinstate (make active) old gift cards. -
