Disabled device due to entering wrong passcode?
You will need to connect the device to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the device and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the device into recovery mode :http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

Why has my iphone stopped picking up my callendar via icloud

Why has my iphone stopped picking up the Outlook calendar on my PC via icloud?

Have you checked document and data syncing is enabled in settings > iCloud and iCloud is enabled in settings > Pages.
For future reference, you might also consider backing up documents created or edit on your mobile device by sharing a copy to iTunes.

Why does the iphone allow itself to be powered off while the screen is locked?

Why does the iphone allow itself to be powered off whlie in the lock screen? This makes it impossible to track if stolen does it not? Seems like an assinine concept!

It does, but there's little we regular mortals can do about it. However, you now have something to contribute to Apple via the Feedback Link!

Why has my iphone has stopped connecting with itunes?

why has my iphone has stopped connecting with itunes?

You can try resetting your iPad and iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

Why has the iphone 5 been discontinued??

Why has the iphone 5 been discontinued? how much can i expect if i sell my current iphone 5?

Yea i regret buying it now. Worse move made by Apple to discontinue it
If you believe it was a bad move by Apple to discontinue it, that would seem to indicate you think it's a good phone. So why do you regret buying it? Does it do less today than it did before you found out it was discontinued? Whether or not Apple still sell it actually has no affect on its performance. Hard to believe, I know!

Why has my iPhone 5 begin to bend inward near the volume buttons?

Why has my iPhone 5 begin to bend inward? Is there any way apple can help me replace my device?

I have to schedule an appointment to meet up with someone that works at apple in order to get my phone checked. But I think is hardware because I've been really cautious with my phone since purchasing it in February. I've had it in an otter box defender case and all that. I just took it out the box like two weeks ago in order to feel the slimness of the phone instead of the bulky ness. But there's been a few times when charging my phone it has gotten very hot. Specially when I start charging it when it's at 1%. And I've read other people say that it has happened to them also and they said that when your pone gets really hot when charging it makes it easy for the aluminum still frame around the phone bend. But I mean my pone is literally bent inward and I really don't know what caused it to do that. Cause I'm seriously not going to pay to get a new device when I honestly didn't do anything to the phone physically in order for it to get bent.

Why has my iphone frozen with the apple logo

why has my iphone 4 frozen with the apple logo

Hard to tell. What were you doing when it happened? First try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. This could take up to 20 seconds. If it does not restart, then check this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281

Why would iPad mini disable itself when correct passcode is entered?

My daughter's iPad mini disabled itself even though an incorrect password was never entered? It started with a 15 minute lock out followed by 30. At some point it went to a 60 minute lockout and after a half hour or so reverted back to 60 minutes for no reason. I finally got my hands on it and after the 60 minute clock expired I correctly entered the first three digits of the passcode and the iPad promptly disabled itself for good. This makes no sense. I'm aware of the restore drill. What I want to know is this: Why did this happen and is there some sort of Hail Mary play that will prevent a complete restore.

Did you reboot the router?
If that doesn't work, test it... will it connect to a public router (wifi) like in a bookstore or public area? If it works, then the problem is with your router.

Why has my iPhone 'App Store' app frozen after IOS5 download?

With an iPhone 4, iPad, iMac and Macbook, I am concerned that my iPhone 4 download of IOS5 has 'locked' my App Store app on my iPhone 4. It shows 7 apps requiring update, but has lines and arrows next to them and the screen is locked. I have to use the home button to get out of it, but I can't update or buy any apps.
I have historically had an iTunes account with a 'non-Apple email address, but I later applied to MobileMe and got an Apple email address. When opting for iCloud, has my iPhone now automatically been aligned with the old MobileMe email address as my Apple ID? Is this the reason I can't get into the App Store, i.e. the App Store only has my original non-Apple email as my Apple ID? Hence it won't allow updates and purchases to my iPhone?
If this is so, how on earth do I take advantage of iCloud but still be able to purchase and update apps via iTunes?
More urgently, how do I get the App Store working again on my iPhone? Do I also avoid moving to IOS5 for my iPad in the meantime?

Please read this article about putting your device into recovery mode.

Why has Safari become disabled in both my iPad and iPhone?

Why has my iPhone 4 shut down and why won't it turn back on?

Please help! My iPhone 4 has randomly turned itself off and I can't get it to turn back on again. It was fully charged last night, but despite this, I tried plugging it in again in case that was the issue, but nothing. Worried I'm going to lose photos etc!

Are you SURE it is charging indeed?
Dunno on the i4's, but on my i5 I get visual confirmation in the guise of a green "battery" displaying the state of charge when I initially plug the USB adapter, plus a special tone. So I can be sure that juice will flow in.
Your problem description begs crying out "bad battery" and/or "bad cable". Try with another USB cable first as the easiest thing to try.

Why has my iphone 4 downloaded my computer picture files?

Wen i go to photos i have all my computer albums on there aswell as camera roll! (ALOT of pics)
Ive tried deleating the album but theres no option to do so, all i can do is look at the pics or change the order!
How has this happened and how on earth do i take them off???

It didn't happen all by itself.
Transferring photos from your computer to your iPhone must be manually selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. To remove all photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer, deselect Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select Apply followed by a sync.

Why has my iPhone suddenly stopped working?

I was in the middle of reading a text this morning when my iPhone suddenly turned off. Now, the screen is black and my computer won't even recognize it when it's plugged in. The battery should not be dead because it was charged over night and it does not turn on even after being plugged in for awhile. I didn't drop it or spill anything on it before it broke, the screen just suddenly went black. Has this happened to anyone else. Any suggestions on what to do?? Also, I haven't updated my iPhone to iOS 5 yet if that's relevant.

Contact 3 asap you may have been frozen because of inadvertant excessive
data use or more.
All you can eat does NOT apply overseas
AND if you did not enable roaming they will certainly believe your iPhone has been stolen
and taken out of the country

Why has Yahoo! installed itself as default search engine behind Firefox 'front page' and how do I turn it off?

Yahoo search engine seems to have imposed itself as default search engine whenever I open a new tab or use the small search pane on top right of screen. Is this a Firefox default setting and, if not, how can I switch it off?

Yahoo has taken over my search engine also. so far I have removed the Yahoo choice from Manage Search Engines. I have Google as the first choice but it still opens in Yahoo.
As the screen shot shows ....you can clearly see that Google was my choice but it came up on Yahoo.
