We forgot our access code and now are locked out, what should we do?  Thank you

Our ipad locked us out (to many passcode tries, only four) and now wants us to log into itunes, but nothing happens and  now I do not know whant to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Feeling like it looks outsided, burried in snow.   Adam

If you have forgotten the passcode, then the only way to recover is to restore to the factory settings, which will wipe everything from the iPad. So anything that was not transferred to your computer or backed up will be lost.
Did you actually have a passcode set? Some folks have run into issues with MS Exchange passcodes becoming the iOS devices passcodes.

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

  • HT4097 I did a reset on my iPad now it will not accept my pass ode and I'm locked out what can I do

    I did a restore on my iPad I was trying to take a screen shot but did something wrong I was following a manual app anyway it turned out I preformed a reset by pushing the off button and front control button together as a result it re set it self and now it won't accept my passcode and I'm locked out what can I do can't get to apple shop as on holiday in austria

    If you can't unlock the device because it will not accept the passcode, there is only one thing you can do.
    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    Instructions can be found here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    You may have to use recovery mode if that didn't work.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    BUT .... Just for the heck of it, reboot the device before you resort to restoring and see if ithe passcode will work.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    You need to connect to iTunes and restore the iPhone to remove the passcode...then from a recent backup restore the content.

    if its  not 7.0.1 then you can forcely factory resetting ...
    plug phone to your itune... (does not matter its recoganize or not)
    hold power button and home button togther until phone got power off and come back on..
    release Power button when Apple logo comes...
    contine hold Home button...
    and you will see iTune see phone connected...
    release the home button and and follow instruction on itune to restore iphone...
    (make sure you have latest version of iTune and All windows or mac OS updates/patches)
    & you will be done..
    if you failed to do so... make sure you updates your Mac or Windows system Updates...
    let me know its works for you or not.. because i had same issue and i fixed it... that way
    thanks for your time

  • My I Mac showed an error while updating the OS and now just hangs. What should I do?

    I Mac asked me to update the OS from 10.7.3. It showed an error and now the computer just hangs. Its become excuriatingly slow. Takes about 15-20 minutes to boot up and takes hours to perform any function. I tried to update the OS again but it keeps showing an error in connecting to the server. What do I do.?

    Have you tried booting into the Recovery HD to check/repair your disk. Restart holding Command+R - once booted select Disk Utility and then select Macintosh HD and click on 'repair disk' If it fixes anything click repair disk again until you get a clean pass. Whilst in Disk Utility you could also 'repair disk permissions' With Macintosh HD still selected click on 'repair disk permissions'. Once done, restart as normal from the Apple menu.
    Then try updating again using the 'combo', available here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1582
    If you still have problems you could try a Safe Boot: restart holding down the shift key until you see the grey progress bar. Once booted restart as normal from the Apple menu.

    Hi,
    I tried to log in to iCloud but a message appears telling me I "can't sign in because my account was disabled for security reasons....reset password at iforgot.apple.com". I don't know why this happened.
    I reset both my Apple ID and password.
    When I tap Settings iCloud is listed on the left side between General and Mail, Contacts etc.
    Tapping iCloud brings up a log in screen for iCloud which shows my old Apple ID and requests the password. If I put the password in I get the message as above.
    If I use the new Apple ID/Password I get the message "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated....
    In settings there is no option to "Delete Account"
    Any suggestions??

  • I made purchases on my iphone then had it replace without transfer and now its all gone what should i do?

    i bought an entire season of scrubs then had my iphone replaced without having the chance to transfer the purchases what should i do?

    Purchase it again.
    In the future, sync the device and transfer purchases more regularly.
    You can also contact iTunes customer support and ask them for the opportunity to redownload the content, but keep in mind they are under no obligation to grant that opportunity.  Video content is single download.
