My sister-in-law received a new iPhone 3GS from a co-worker who already had one. She gave it to me. It has never been activated or anything. The message on the screen says, "iPhone is disabled. Try again in 22,168,144 minutes".... WHAT? It will only make emergency calls. I only wanted it for my kid to use it as an iPod, and to transfer Aps from my iTunes that I use for my own iPhone 4G. Is there any way to gain access, without having AT&T set it up as a phone?
my phone was disabled because i forgot the passcode if i do the recovery mode will my data on the phone be deleted? i DID NOT sync any photos or data to my itunes before
Info: iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1, not sure about the operating system
My daughter has changed her passcode and forgot it, entering the wrong one to many times has now disabled the phone. It says it needs to be hooked up to itunes but it wont let us.
I've forgotten my passlock, and when i try a new code i get it disabled for a period of time, after many attempst i get it disabled again and it says to plug into itunes.....when i plug it in it says itunes can not accept this iphone because it has a passlock..it says to unlock it before plugging it in...the last time i synced it was at my friends house, because my computer broke...i just bought a new laptop and my IPHone isnt syncing or restoring or unlocking..?
iPhone 3GS disabled and states to connect to iTunes on phone, but iTunes states you need to input your phone passcode. The main problem with this scenario is that I can't get to the point where I am able to input the passcode. What do I do?
my phone has disabled as i pin worded it on set up and the word must have typed wrong twice.......i hadn't synced the phone to computer yet....what can i do?
Changed my passcode lock from letters back to numbers. I know what numbers i picked for the lock but the phone won't let me in! Tried a number of combinations but none worked! Has it ever happened that an iPhone won't let you in with the correct passcode? Does it usually malfunction when you switch back to numbers? And most importantly - is the only solutioin to reset the phone???
I read on the front page how others were having the proximity issue like I was and that if you did a reset of settings then it could fox it. So I went ahead and did that. I went in and started changing all my settings back and I realized that the only option I had for my passcode was to require it immediately and not after 5 min like I usually do. I've done some searching and saw that a google or exchange account could cause this. But I only have mobile me.So that can't be it. The only other option I've seen is to do a complete restore.Whig I'd really like to stay away from. Does anyone have any ideas?
I can't remember my passcode for my Iphone and it is disabled. How can I fix this? I also plug phone into itunes and it says phone is locked due to wrong passcode.
I accidentally locked my phone last night and this morning I wanted to use my phone but, it was asking for a passcode. I didn't remember a passcode and thought if I did I'd make it something really simple like 0000 but, it wouldn't open it. Everytime I tried a new code, it kept pushing the time back that I could try again and now it says try again in 60 minutes. I can't use my phone at all
when i turned my iphone on it wouldnt let me enter my passcode but still lets me make emergency calls. It then shows up with a sign saying restore needed however when i connect my iphone to itunes it says i need to enter my passcode but it doesnt let me do that so does anybody know what i can do to fix the problem if that makes sense?
put on my zoom and I have a passcode.my phone locks every 5mins and it locked me out. Making it impossible for me to type in my passcode. Now after so much attemp my phone has been disabled. What do I do to disable and remove the zoom without getting to the Menu?
