Unable to unlock iphone even if itunes password is correct

Hello, I recently changed my itunes password but after my phone went to a lockscreen i am unable to unlock it using my new itunes password. I am sure the itunes password is OK because i am able to log in to icloud and even to the itunes applicaton on my PC but i am still unable to unlock my phone using the same, new password.
Please help!

The unlock code for your locked screen is not the same as your iTunes password. It is usually a 4-digit code that is a different sequence of numbers.

The ipad can find my wifi connection but just wont accept the password. connected with no problem in the Apple store.
any suggestions,
thanks.

Does the iPad connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

since installing itunes 11.1 i am unable to connect iphone/ipad to itunes?

Hey there Jantje1,
It sounds like you are unable to launch iTunes and get an error message instead. I would try the troubleshooting outlined in this article named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
If it comes down to uninstalling, then re installing iTunes altogether, use this link to download the 64 bit version of iTunes directly.
iTunes 11.1.3 for Windows (64-bit)

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

It is possible to unlock iphone without connecting itunes?????

it is possible to unlock iphone without connecting itunes?????

You cannot unlock from the carrier yourself...only the carrier can process and send the unlock...and you MUST use iTunes to process and implement the unlock.
If your iPhone is disabled for another reason, you need to follow the article above, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

TS1398 im having real problems connecting to my home wifi, it keeps coming up saying unable to join even though the password is correct, this has been ever since i updated software to ios6

Im having real problems connecting to my home wifi from my i phone 4s, it just keeps saying unable to join even though the password is correct,
I have tried resetting my network settings but to no avail,
yesterday I reset all settings then it actually worked, however today the problem started again so I repeated the reset but it still isn't working
This has only started happening since i upgraded software to ios6
Please help

Here is what I would do:
Shutdown all computers connected to the router.
Power off the router.
Power off the modem (cable or DSL).
Wait 30 seconds.
Power on the modem. Ensure all lights are lit and the modem is online.
Power on the router. Ensure it's communicating to the modem.
Turn on your Macbook Pro first (the one experiencing the issue. Check it's connection. If it's still having issues, removed the networks it can attach to, turn off WiFi; then turn WiFi back on and reconnect to your WiFi network.
Turn on other Macs in household. Check their connections.
Sometimes "rebooting" the modem and router fixes connectivity issues.

Unlock?
Passcode lock? Restore the iphone.
Carrier lock? Only the carrier to which it is locked can do that.
Something else? Please explain

Another rep said pay 8€ we will send an email telling you what to do with the code in the email all via iTunes again. No email or code received. What a mess.
You're being lied to. There is no code. The unlock process is summarized as follows:
You request an unlock from the carrier
Your carrier enters the request into their system
time passes...and passes...and passes
Eventually someone at the carrier approves the request
The approved request is sent to Apple
It goes into a queue at Apple
Eventually (usually 1-2 days) Apple updates their activation database to show the phone as unlocked
You then connect the phone to iTunes on your computer and click the "Restore iPhone" button in iTunes
If the request has been processed, when the Restore is complete you will get a message "Congratulations. Your iPhone is unlocked"

Unable to unlock iPhone 5 while phone is locked in VoiceOver mode.

Used the accessibility VoiceOver feature for playback while driving. Was unable to unlock phone. Pressing the triple-click feature did not work. The timeout feature disabled the phone from 1 to 60 minutes with each unsuccessful pass code attempt. Dreading having to reset my phone I connected to iTunes. I was able to turn off the VoiceOver feature using the configure universal access feature and unlock the phone.

I own my iPhone 5 since it first came out in fall of 2012. I have never had an issues with the phone dropping WiFi until last month when two weeks into my biling cycle I have received notification from my carrier that I've burned through 75% of my 2G data plan. At first I thought that maybe I have left some apps running and didn't pay attention to what was occuring. So during the next billing cycle which started 10 days ago, I reset the cellurar data usage legend on the phone and kept a close eye on data usage. My phone is on wifi 99% fo the time. When I am not of wifi I only refresh my email account and check the weather. Prior to the last month, I usually use about half a Gig a month. As I've tracked my data usage with my carrier this current cycle, I found there are numerous cellular data usages during the time that I was connected to wifi. I find myself turning off my cellular data which is ridiculous. I know it's not my router, because when I used my friend's wifi, the phone still registered cellular data usage. It was all small amounts during each time, but 10 days into my billing cycle and my phone burned to 1G of data!! I still have 3 weeks of cycle to go. I've also completely rebooted my phone by erasing and reinstalling the iOS. Which btw, did not help. I cannot believe that others have reported this issue and Apple hasn't addressed it yet. The phone seems to be dropping wifi when in sleep mode. This is not normal as I've owned the phone for over a year and haven't had any troubles until last month. Does anyone have any updates on how to deal with this issue without replacing the phone?

I'm trying to get organized and I just added a bunch of books and pdfs to my itunes library. They were all added immediately to my ipad and iphone even though, itunes automatically putting books on my idevices

I'm trying to get organized and I just added a bunch of books and pdfs to my itunes library. They were all added immediately to my ipad and iphone even though I did not want this. I added them to itunes using add to library and I have both devices set to sync only selected books.
How do I do this in the future so this doesnt happen? Its a lot of work to now manually erase them from each device and it sent my phone over capacity.
thanks

I dont see the difference in the posts. I dont think theres anything inaccurate or misleading about what I wrote. The items were immediately added to my ipad and my iphone, even though I have them both set to sync only select items. As soon as I added new titles to my itunes library, they were immediately added to the devices. Not on the next sync. Immediately. Both devices were plugged into the computer at the time. Sorry if I failed to mention they were plugged in but I dont see the signifigance youre making out of it. The problem persists anyway.
Now that I did a test without the devices plugged in, the new items were still added as soon as I plugged my devices into the computer ( I do not have them set to sync over wifi).
Since I have both devices set to manually select items to sync, of course I want to manually select new items to sync. For instance, I am not going to read any of these magazines or books on my phone, ever, and I dont want to waste valuable space with them.
So I'm trying your advice:
I just tried deselecting sync books. It erased all content from ibooks on my device. I then dragged
one title onto the device, and it just goes back to syncing select books, with the one title selected.
It appears that wont work to solve my issue. The next time I add something to itunes it will be put on my phone. Is this really something most people want? To select to manualy control what content is synced, but then have things automatically added. It seems inconsistent to me.

Unable to unlock iPhone 4 from Telstra

Help desperately needed to unlock iphone my son's iphone before school starts?
I have an iphone 4 bought through telstra a few years ago. The phone is in perfect working order. I gave the phone to my son and also put him on a telstra plan that expired in december (2013). Due to my ever increasing dissatisfaction with telstra, I decided to put him on pre-paid with another carrier (Optus) and I have been having nightmares ever since trying to get the phone unlocked from the Telstra network. Now school is about to start again and I really need him to have this working for safety and security. Here's what I've tried;
2 weeks ago, called telstra and they confirmed that they "unlocked" it and just to follow all the usual instructions in this thread, wait 72 hours etc (see below), no service
72+ hours later plugged in to itunes, nothing. Tried several more times over the next few days, nothing
removed SIM, restarted phone, nothing
went to optus store, removed SIM, inserted other SIM in iphone and it worked
put our SIM in store phone and it worked. Optus said to go back to telstra and repeat the process
went to telstra.com.au/unlock, to try to 'unlock' it again. Followed all instructions, waited 72 hours etc, nothing
repeated the above another 72 hours later, nothing
plugged in to latest version of itunes, backed up, restored default settings, nothing
plugged into different itunes account/computer, nothing
went to the Apple 'about unlocking' page and followed the instructions, nothing
posted help request to Telstra corwdsupport, Telstra emplyee responded with "At this point I would suggest contacting Apple directly and asking them for support. The reason I suggest this is because an unlock request from Telstra is simply us recording the IMEI number, checking its one of ours and then sending it to Apple to process."
After all this, the phone is still locked to Telstra and school starts tomorrow.
Can anyone in the Apple support community offer any insight?
Or can anyone from Apple please respond privately so that I can give further details in order for Apple to confirm whether or not the request to unlock has been received at Apple.
Any help, greatly appreciated.

If you're still connected to Telsta, a Telstra SIM card is still installed in your phone. Install the correct SIM card from your new carrier. If the phone were still carrier locked to Telstra, you would get a message that the SIM card from your new carrier isn't supported.

Changing sim in a factory unlocked iPhone- connect to iTunes?

Can someone please confrim as I am getting mixed messages from Apple and other users. I have bought a factory unlocked iPhone 4 from the online apple store (Canada) and activated it with my Canadian (Telus) micro sim by connecting it to iTunes. Works fine. When I travel to another country and get a new sim will I have to connect iTunes again to activate the iPhone with a new sim (eg. AT&T or T-mobile)? Some say that I need to only activate once and then I am free to pop in any micro sim (Canadian or Foreign) without going through iTunes prompt again. Others tell me that i will have to bring my computer with me to connect with iTunes to activate the new sim. Also I was told by apple that i can't stick a new AT&T sim in in iPhone 4 to activate the phone while in canada because I need an active carrier signal. I will have to activate in the US. Is this true?
You folks with unlocked iPhone 4 s please chime in and tell me your experience. Your help is gratefully appreciated.
Cheers!
ian

The problem is sloved. Turns out that Apple sent me a replacment iPhone 4 that was only unlocked to Canadian carriers. The iPhone 4 you buy on the apple.ca online store comes world wide unlocked. At first they were trying to tell me that the apple online phones are only unlocked to Canandian carriers but this was confrimed with sales that no they are world wide unlocked. Apple updated my profile for the iPhone4 and now I can stick any sim (Rogers, Telus, Bell, A&T, T-mobile) into the iPhone 4 and there is NO prompt to connect to iTunes. Also confirmed that you do not need to be near an AT&T carrier signal to have the iPhone activate. I was in Canada and stuck in an AT&T sim and it found Rogers on roaming and it was fine.
