my daughter updated her iphone 4S to IOS 7.0.4 and now her password doesn't work to unlock her phone.
How do you re-set the password?

If you cannot remember the passcode for the Screen Lock, you will need to Restore the device...
1)  Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore...

  • Hey you all, I have recently updated me iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1 and I checked my reminders built in app, and it seems like everything I had in there was lost. I have tried many things, but none seems to work. I can no longer add in any remainders.

    Have you failed to regularly backup the device to iTunes or iCloud?  If so, the data is gone.
    If there are backups, restore the most current one from prior to the data disappearing.

  • HT4623 I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 and lost all of my contacts.  My phone was less than 30 days old and I did not have an account with iCloud prior to the back-up.  Any way to restore my contacts or are they lost forever?

    I have the exact same problem.  I did the update on my iPhone 5 yesterday, opted for the iCloud set up in the update and then it wiped my contacts.  They are not on my phone or in the cloud...

  • I just updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.1 and lost my contacts. How do I get them back?

    This morning I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.1 and everything is fine except most of my contacts are gone. The text messages and calls are still listed, but with phone numbers and no names. I went into my icloud and they are deleted from there too. How can I restore them all? They are all still in my address book on my computer.

    I had this problem post 6.1. Not sure if it was a coincidence, but I'd just recently changed my password after being convinced I'd been hacked, due to being told I was entering my password wrongly, repeatedly by iCloud / iTunes.  It turns out my iCloud account on my Settings -> Mail, Contacts and Calendars was listed as Inactive.  Putting in my details, turning off Contacts over iCloud (thus deleting them) and turning them back on again, repopulated my contacts from iCloud with numbers attached to them.

  • HT4623 after I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.1 I can't access my WiFi (The greyed out Wi-Fi button)

    after I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.1 I can't access my WiFi (The greyed out Wi-Fi button)

    Most likely the iphone was hacked to unlock it from the original carrier
    updating the iOS will relock a hacked iPhone to that Carrier

    Hi jonnarink,
    Try this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    In short:
    1) Make sure the iPhone is not connected to USB and, if it is on, turn it off by holding the power button and the home button together(takes about 6 seconds)
    2) Once it's completely off, hold down the home button
    3) While holding home, connect the USB cable and keep holding home until iTunes recognises the iPhone
    It will force the iPhone into recovery mode, then you can connect to iTunes and restore your backup. Bear in mind that it will likely need to be updated to 5.0.1 anyway.
    :edit:
    Sorry, just saw Ralph Landry1's post above mine(typed mine a while ago, only posted now!) with the same link

    You need to do more research before you make purchases like this. You've wasted your money. The ONLY officially unlocked iPhone model sold in the US is the GSM model, and that model is only sold by Apple. That's the model iPhone you should have purchased.
    Did you read & understand my initial post? Especially this part:
    The unlocking of the GSM portion is just for International travel in order to use local sims. You still have to pay Sprint for the use of their international GSM partner’s network on a “pay as you go basis”.

  • I use find my iphone but by mistake I locked it so how can I unlock the phone

    I use find my iphone but by mistake I locked it so how can I unlock the phone.

    If it has been Disabled after entering the wrong passcode - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
    Unfortunately, you must restore it in iTunes on your computer.   There is no way to retrieve a forgotten pass lock code.
    You will need to Restore your device from the same computer that you most recently synced to. See - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

    That is correct.
    That is the price of a replacement iphone once your iphone is outside of the warranty period

  • I Updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.0 and lived

    I read all the reviews that said don't update an iPhone 4S to iOS 8 and I get that there is a performance hit because the 4S is now 3 generations old.  But I also checked out a number of YouTube videos of people running the iOS 8 Betas and finally the GM on 4S's and I couldn't see what the big deal was.
    So I spent 45 Minutes updating my phone last night and I am quite happy with the results.  Yes there is a tiny (and I mean barely noticeable) difference in speed of switching between things.  It is not enough to really bother me so I am happy there.
    I like being able to respond to a text message without having to stop what I am doing. This alone makes up for the difference in screen speed.
    I have tried out as many of my apps as I have had time to since last night and so far only one seems to be broken by the update.  It is Lagu, the music player that is a very close approximation of the iOS 6.X music player that I really loved.  The app runs, it just won't actually play the song I select.  I sent a notice to the developer and I hope that he is able to fix it.
    I found this update to be easy and simple.  I always do my iOS updates through iTunes on my PC because from what I have noticed over the last 5 years of owning an iPhone since Apple started offering OTA updates they tend to seem to be the ones that cause the most problems.
    I will watch battery life today and see what happens, but so far it seems to be as good or better than I was getting with iOS 7.1.2.  I was one of the lucky ones I guess and I didn't get the battery killing bug that so many people seemed to get hit with.
    Wifi seems to be working just fine.
    I listen to TuneIn radio on my way into work on the train (90 minute train ride with no wifi) and the show I want to listen to isn't available on a plain old pocket radio (Remember those?) so I have to listen on my phone.  Between the streaming radio and my fiddling with my phone all the way in I burned through about 50% of the battery.  So I will see what happens today when i am at work and not spending so much time digging through settings to see if anything has changed because of the update.
    So far I haven't found anything that the update changed or reset to default so the programmers seem to have done a good job with this update.

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

  • After updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5, I can see it in iTunes in the source list, but after selecting it, there is no summary or anything to configure my sync options. I just see 'iPhone' written. What can I do to fix this?

    I just updated my iPhone and my iPad to iOS 5.
    Restoring the backup just worked fine as well as syncing the music and videos, but my Apps weren't synced at all.
    With my iPhone I got it done, after I installed some of my apps using the cloud and suddenly the all were installed during the next sync with my iTunes. All the stored data of my apps were on the iPhone, so I didn't loose anything.
    But with my iPad, this didn't work as well. I seem to have to install all apps by my self from the cloud.
    But my major problem is, that when I connect my devices to my Mac Book Air, they are shown in the source list, but except for showing 'iPhone' or 'iPad' I see nothing. I can't configure any sync options, so I am not able to do change or do anything.
    When updated to iOS 5 I used to restore the backup from before updating my iPhone/iPad in iTunes.
    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards,

    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, particularly before any update or restore.
    You should also be syncing your contacts to your computer regularly.  They hsould be in whatever program/service that you have selected to sync.
    If you have failed to do this, then they are very likely gone.
    You can try restoring from backup.

  • Updated iphone 3GS to IOS 5.01 and now I cannot restore or activate phone

    Hi,
    Today I updated my stock iphone 3gs to IOS 5.01 from 4.3.5. All went well until I noticed that my apps had not be restored. I attempted to restore my phone in iTunes but now all I get is "There is a problem with your iphone" message appear in iTunes and on my device.
    What can I do to restore the phone to working condition? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Kind regards
    Mark Sheehan

    Better yet, just got off hold with Apple Tier 2 Tech - their Verification Server is down. Give it time for a fix.

  • Updated my iPhone 6 with iOS 8.3 and now it keeps freezing

    updated my iPhone 6 with iOS8.3 and now it keeps freezing have to constantly re-boot.  anyone else having the problem?

    Well, I went to an apple store and they told me that I have to restore the iphone with VF -something- mode, this is made thru itunes. Now, I have an iphone 5s and I am running still Snow Leopard (OSx 10.6.8) on my mac and it work brilliantly, although they do recommend to do so on a fully updated computer.
    But that does not excuse Apple, because let's face it, in recent days they have dropped the ball, on equipment, ideas and software, proof of that is that my mac book pro from the mid 2010 still has an optical audio inlet, the software runs more efficiently than the Yosemite and… well who's going to buy a watch worth 1000 quid with a battery that only last for a DAY, serious?
    Back to the original matter in question, here's an article that can help you with your problem.
