Will the iPhone pass code prevent restoring the iPhone using iTunes ?

Hello everyone,
I've set up a pass code on the iPhone that prompts me for it everytime I come out of sleep mode. I was wondering, if someone steals my iPhone can he restore the iPhone to factory settings using iTunes on his computer even with the pass code on?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks guys for your answers. That protection of the data is very nice ! Especially with mails etc on the phone !
If I wanted to restore the phone without knowing the password I would absolutely have to use the computer where I pluged the iPhone for the first time ? What happens if let's say I forget my passcode, and change my computer?
I have another question if you don't mind that's not really on this precise topic but relates to it a little bit: if someday I get a new computer and trash this one. Will I still be able to connect my iPhone to it and use iTunes to put apps and songs on the iPhone etc like I do now ? How does this work exactly please?
Thanks again for the help guys ! This device is just great but I'm really a total stranger to iTunes, Mac and their products unfortunately.

Do i have to activate my iphone 5 with a nano sim, if i have it activated, and i restore the iphone using itunes

I dont have a nano sim yet, and in applt store, they activated my iphone 5 with a nanosim, but i have a problem, and i have to restore my iphone. if i restore it with itunes, will i need to activate it again after the restore, with a nanosim, or its not necesary?????

The Verizon iPhone 5 is already unlocked, just add foreign SIM

HT2693 cant activate my iphone using itunes ( cant activate by this time please try again later)

how can i fix this?

There are four possible causes of the activation error:
The activation server is unavailable. Rare, but it happens. Usually fixed within minutes.
Your antivirus or firewall (or your router's firewall) is blocking access to the domain gs.apple.com on ports 80 and 443.
Your phone is jailbroken.
Your phone isn't jailbroken, but the computer you are connected to during the restore or update was used to hack or jailbreak some other iOS device, and its network database was corrupted in the process.
Perhaps this will provide you some clues as to how to proceed. If your iPhone has not been jailbroken, Apple has some troubleshooting suggestions here:

If your iPhone has been jailbroken, you're on your own. We can provide no assistance for jailbroken devices in these forums.

TS4036 I am trying to restore my phone using iTunes back up and iCloud back up. Both won't let me do it. They said that it could not be completed. What can I do to get my phone restored?

I had to wipe my phone clean because of storage issues. It kept saying I didn't have enough storage for pics or apps, but I only had about 75 pics and 1 extra app. So, I backed up my iPhone on icloud and itunes, then cleared off my iphone using the steps in the settings. Then, when I am going back to restore my iPhone using iTunes back up and iCloud backup, it fails in both locations. It says it failed to be completed.
What now?

Thank you Terence for your help. I was able to restore my backup from my time machine ext drive to a new 1tb seagate ext drive. so i felt sort of ok. but yesterday that older ext drive i used for time machine wouldn't open! i called applecare and they trouble shooted with me and said it's probably a goner and data is probably corrupted. it's only a few years old and i'm very careful with it. my husband accidentally dropped my new drive last night -- i know, unbelievable, i was SO upset, poor guy -- but I'm so stressed with all of this. i have 10 years of photos and videos. so now i only have the one newer drive with a backup. i have to buy another one today to backup again so i at least have two backups. i tried to delete a ton of files last night to free up the 30 gb of space i need to get my full library back on my mac. i have 90gb free and deleted 7 years worth of photos i had on picasa that were in my "pictures" folder and also a ton or random photos and videos i had in that same pictures folder and thought that would give me the 30 gb but it hardly freed up any space at all! do you know why that is? all of this stuff is really a pain and really stressful. thank god i did have a backup in the first place but now i am panicked the one i have left will somehow crash. especially after my husband dropped the drive lastnight! it didn't fall far and fell onto a wood floor and seems fine, but after my older ext drive crashed yesterday -- and i lost my entire iphoto library a fewweeks ago off my mac -- i feel cursed. any answers you have would be great. thank you.

You need to restore via recovery mode, follow the article below to do this:

TS3682 im trying to restore my iphone with itunes and it gives me this error "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time."

This is usually a symptom that the phone was hacked/jailbroken. Was it?

Are you getting an error message?
Are you using the latest version of iTunes?
Are you using a laptop or a desktop?
If it's a desktop, are you using a USB port in the front or the back?
Are you using the Apple charger that came with your phone?

Can't Drag and Drop to iPhone using iTunes 10.7.0.21

I cant manually drag and drop my video files to my iPhone using iTunes. When I click on my device and go to summary and check "Manually manage music and videos" and click apply I get a message saying " The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with another library?"
" An iPhone can be synced with only ones iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents, of this phone with the contents of this iTunes library"
My options are to erase and sync or cancel. I do not want to erase the contents of my iPhone can anyone help?

To recap... here is a fuller version of my advice on "how to move a library from one computer to another."
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.
As I said in the other thread if you want to be certain of attracting my attention simply post into either of these threads to which I've already posted. These come to the top my active list whenever a new post is added to the thread. Otherwise I keep a general lookout across a number of forums for the threads where I think I can help, but I don't get to read everything...

I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes. All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone. I am unable to locate them on my computer. HELP!!!

I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes. All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone. I am unable to locate them on my computer. HELP!!!

OK, I understand. Try this ... it's much safer. It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS. So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this.

You can't. You'll need a computer with iTunes installed.

HT4137 When I back up my iPhone using iTunes, where does the information get stored?

I have a problem.
I have an iPhone that has already been synced with an HP laptop. This PC is now in need of repair but the price of repair was too costly so I bought a MacBook Pro to replace it.
I would like to now sync my iPhone with my new MacBook using iTunes but when I attempt this I get a message stating that all the information in my iPhone will be replaced by all the information in iTunes (which is nothing). I cannot afford to lose all the information in my iPhone but also I cannot update my iPhone using iTunes because it has not been paired with my new MacBook and I am told that it can only be paired with one computer at a time. I cannot unpair it with my old PC because my old PC doesn't even boot up anymore.
I was told that I could Backup the information in my iPhone by control clicking on the icon in the toolbar to the left of the iTunes screen which would then let me sync safely. I have now done this but I still have nothing to show for this in the iTunes library (no music, photos, notes, contacts etc.) and I have no idea where this backup has been stored.
Also in the help menu in iTunes it says that media files such as songs, videos and some photos AREN'T backed up but can be restored by syncing with iTunes (how is this possible to restore something that hasn't been backed up in the first place?).
I am really stuck with this and hope that someone out there can help.
Leigh

The first step in the sync process is to create a backup. On a mac this backup is located at
~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup. The backup does not included iTunes media as it is assumed to be in the iTunes library you are syncing with. Also, as you have discovered, when you first sync with a new iTunes library iTunes will erase all iTunes media on the phone (music, videos, etc.) and replace it with the media in the library you are syncing with. Photos from Camera Roll (which are taken by the phone) are part of the backup. Photos in Photo Library (which were synced to your phone from your computer) are not; again, because it is assumed they are already on your computer as that is how they were synced to your phone in the first place.
What, exactly, is still on your phone at this point?

Is the only way to restore my iphone on itunes?

I can also restart my iphone from Settings and it looks as if it gets the same results. Will restarting my iphone to it's factory settings be like getting a brand new phone? A while ago, I went to my local Apple Store and they used a website that gave her the history on that iphone i.e. Unclean reboots will restarting my iphone remove that?
