What is the factory set restriction passcode? I need to erase all content and settings on my handset as I have just upgraded to 4S and need to wipe my old handset off all content. It keeps asking for a passcode even though I never set one. Thanks

Restrictions passcode for iPhone 4. I need to erase all content and settings for handset

There is no factory set restriction code. If you need to completely reset then follow the instructions you find here:

The Age app keeps asking for my password even though I am a subscriber. The developer can't fix it.

The Age app keeps asking for my password in subscriber content pages, even though I pay for subscription to access all areas. The Age can't fix the problem.

Try deleting and re-installing the app
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.
Be a little more insistant with the app developer. If it his/her code after all.

Windows 8 user cannot connect to public OS X Lion share as Guest, keeps asking for a password even though the folder is public?

As title suggests...
OS X Mountain Lion public share works fine for Mac's but as a guest from Windows its adamant it wants a password. If I use proper credentials it will allow me in the public share from the windows PC but I dont want to add creditinatials it should be an open folder to Network (LAN) WORKGROUP users.
OS X Guest account is set to "allow guests to connect to shared folders"
The Public folder is set in "Sharing" as READ ONLY everyone.
Mac's can access the share without needing credentials.
Windows PC asks for Username and Pass (have tried Guest (no password) or just pressing enter (no details)

Try this on your PC:
Start->Run...->Open:\\<ipadressofyourmac>\<sharename>
You will be prompted for your username and password.
Or
'My Computer'->'Tools'->'Map network drive...'
enter:
\\<ipadressofyourmac>\<sharename>
in the 'Folder' field.
Click 'Connect using a _different user name_.'.
Enter your server username and password.
Click 'OK'.
Click 'Finish'.

My yahoo mail keeps asking for my password, even though I entered it correctly.

after my mail comes up and before I can read any emails, the system goes to a screen asking for my password. I enter my password, go back to mail, and before I can read any mail, the screen asking for my password pops up again and does it all over again.

HT201272 How to retrieve previous iphone backup from laptop to sync onto new iphone? Keeps asking for a passcode before it will restore the backup. No idea what the passcode is.

I backed up my previous iphone the other day in anticipation of it being replaced (wifi stayed grey non stop) and now I have my new phone and want to put all of my old data on but it keeps asking for a passcode before restoring the backup. I've put in what I thought it would be but get nowhere. How do I get the password or change it?

If your iPhone was passcode protected, check out the first section here.
Or it could be that the backup itself was encrypted in iTunes; that is discssued further down in this same article.

My phone was stolen and now I am trying to load everything from my Itunes on my Computer. It keeps asking for a passcode? I don't know what they want??

Can you help me get all my previous information from Itunes onto my new IPhone?
My other one was stolen and now I can't transfer my pictures and music. It keeps asking for a passcode? I have tried my apple passcode, my phone code...What does it want?

If iTunes is asking for a password to restore from an iTunes backup, then yes, you did set one up. You must have selected 'Encrypt iPhone Backup' when you created the backup. If you don't remember the password, then you'll have to restore the device as new.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

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.

Maverick install is asking for an admin password which I never set up to begin with.

Maverick is asking for an admin password which was never set in the beginning. I have tried all help suggestions to no avail Help

I got to the same problem, because I have'nt an idea about my administrator password.
So I did reboot with command + R, then open Terminal, then define an administrator Kennword, then restart with pull down menu.
Restarting and opening the user ...(Systemeinstellung;Benutzer) the new setted password works, it is, it can be used to unlock user administration. But willing to start Maverick.....it does not work.
So at this time no Maverick....

I've entered my fingerprint into my new 5S, but I can't seem to get it to work. It keeps asking for my passcode. How do I switch from passcode to fingerprint?

I've succssefully entered my fingerprint into my new 5S, but I can't get the phone to "accept" it; it keeps asking for my passcode. When I put my finger on the Home button, it does nothing. How do I switch from passcode to fingerprint?
Many thanks.

Make sure you have set Settings > General > Passcode & Fingerprint > Fingerprints > Passcode Unlock = "On".
If you like, also set Settings > General > Passcode & Fingerprint > Fingerprints > iTunes & App Store = "On".

I have just upgraded to Mavericks and have been using Time Machine on an external disk with Snow Leopard. Can I continue to backup with Time Machine on the same external disk or do I need a new disk since the operating system has changed?

I have just upgraded to Mavericks and have been using Time Machine on an external disk with Snow Leopard. Can I continue to backup with Time Machine on the same external disk or do I need a new disk since the operating system has changed?

Hi there,
I found that Time Machine in Mavericks will sort it all out for you. You shouldn't need to buy another backup drive, unless you have insufficient space left and can't afford to delete whats on there. It should just work fine.

I have just upgraded to Maverick and now I cannot find certain files. These JPG's are there on my hard drives however . I rely heavily on the search facility and this is slowing me down.

I have just upgraded to Maverick and now I cannot find certain JPG 's . These files do exist however I can find them manually . I rely on the search facility and this is slowing me down, I am having to trawl through stuff to find the file I want , before I would put in part of the title and the machine would find it.
