    My iphone is locked by a password that I do not remember.  I have never sync my phone with my computer.  What can I do to reset my phone?

    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212. If you have not backed up your iPhone to either a computer or iCloud you will reset the phone to a New state.

  • This is my first iphone and I have never synced a phone to my computer.

    I have no contacts stored on my mac and don't want to lost my contacts when my phone tries to sync to my computer.  I also don't want all of my music to sync onto my phone.  What do i do?

    Just check the 'Manually sync music' box (or some iteration of that) when you plug it into iTunes under the iPhone tab.

  • HT4097 what if I have never syced my ipad with my computer how do I restore it

    i lost all my info on my ipad 2 after trying to upload ios6 and need to restore it did the itunes bit but not working I hae not synced to my computer so not sure what to do now?

    Do you have a backup anywhere? No matter if you do or not, if you need to restore the device, you can restore it through iTunes. It will bring it back to factory settings which is necessary if your device is in recovery mode. Then, if you have a backup, you can restore from that

  • HT1212 I got "ipad is disabled, connect to itunes". I have never synced my ipad with itune and don't have a backup. how can I bypass this message without restoring the device. I have many articles on my ipad that I can not afford to loose.

    I have upgraded my ipad2 to the latest ios. shortly after this message came up: "ipad is disabled, connect to itunes". I have never synced my ipad2 to itunes and don't have any backup. Is there any way to bypass this without restoring the device? I have many articles on "iAnnotate" that can not afford to loose.

    You can't bypass it, you will need to connect iPad to a computer's iTunes, and you may need to put it into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad, which will remove all content from it.
    You haven't been backing up to the cloud either, and/or keeping copies of important documents/files elsewhere e.g. on your email account, Dropbox etc ?

  • I have a 3GS iPhone, version 3.1.2.  I have never plugged my phone into a computer or synced with iTunes.  If I do so now, I will I lose everything?  What steps need to be taken to ensure that all of my data, contacts, photos, etc. are not lost?

  • HT1212 I followed the I have never synced with itunes directions, and I appear to have lost everything that was on my itouch.  Now what?

    This is the most frustrating site and instructions.  I got locked out of my iTouch and had to do a system restore.  I followed the directions for having never synced with itunes directions, as I inheireted this itouch from my dad and when I tryed to sync before it looked like I would wipe out everything on it, which I DID NOT want to do.  Now, after following the directions, I have wiped out everything that was on it, pictures, songs,...is there anyway to restore what was on the itouch?

    Looking at those directions I am not seeing the device in itunes.  Here is what I followed from:  iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode under if you have never synced your device with itunes.
    "Connecting the device may result in this error message: "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device."
    From:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5229504
    So I followed these directions and in step number 5 it was uploading (I believe) for about 30 minutes.  When that was over there was no other directions and the device was still locked.  So I repeated the steps.  This time it restored the device, but when I get on it, I lost all music and pictures, along with a few apps.  The apps are no big deal as they were free downloads, so I can redo those with no problems.  Trying to follow your directions above and clicking through the links, my main problem is that I have no devices showing in itunes.  I just down loaded it today, so it is the latest version.  So what now?

  • HT1212 What do i do if my ipad air is disabled and shows no time and i have never sync it to my computer and icloud is not signed in? Please reply.

    What do i do if my ipad is disabled, show no time, i have never sync to my computer, and have icloud not signed in.

    If the Device is disabled and you have No Backup... all you can do is Restore using iTunes on your Computer and then Re-Sync your Content.
    The Restore will Erase all Data.
    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore...

    2)  If necessary Place the Device into Recovery mode...

    Note on Recovery Mode.
    You may need to try this More than Once...  Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...

  • I have forgotten my password to my ipad but i have never synced it to a computer before... what do i do?

    I have forgotten my password, and i have never synced it to a computerr before... what do i do?

    Unfortunately, you'll have no choice but to reset it to factory condition, using iTunes on a computer.  Any data you had on it is gone, unless you can remember the password.  Your apps will still be available to re-download, without having to re-purchase them.

    But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

  • I am trying to restore an older iPod Touch, but do not have the passcode.  I am getting an error message saying that I need to free up some space, but I cannot because I don't have the passcode and have never synced this device to my account.  Help..

    I am trying to restore an older iPod Touch, but do not have the passcode.  I am getting an error message saying that I need to free up some space, but I cannot because I don't have the passcode and have never synced this device to my account.  Help..

    If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    Otherwise follow varjak paw recommendation

  • HT1212 I have followed the instructions for "if you have never synced your decice with itunes" and my computer is telling me the device has been restored, however I still don't know how to unlock my phone??

    Having followed the instructions for "if you have never synced your device to itunes" and my computer displayed the message that the device has been restored, my phone is still saying its disabled and I should connect to itunes. What do I do now??

    Put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

    If that still fails, you'll probably need to go to an Apple Store or call Apple Support for further assistance.

  • HT1212 What if we never synced the iPad on a computer?  How can we unlock iPad if my daughter cannot remember her password?

    My daughter changed her password and can't remember it.  Suggestions online say to go back to the computer we synced it on.  What if we never synced the iPad on a computer?  Any help?

    You can restore the iPad using recovery mode (most likely needed) on any computer. She will lose everything on the iPad though. Purchased content can be downloaded again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought it with.
    This will tell you how to restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode

  • How to restore disabled iPhone to computer that i have never synced with

    My iPhone 4s is disabled i have a new laptop that i have never synced with what can i do to get my iPhone restored to the original settings ?

    You have to restore your phone as new to use it again.
    That is the only option you'll have since you don't have a backup in iTunes, if you have a icloud backup you can restore from that and get your data back.
    Otherwise you can only sync back your purchased items in iTunes.
