My iPhone 4 is disabled, and won't enter Recovery Mode?
I got an iPhone 4 from my friend. They forgot the passcode and set it into Disable mode. The screen says to Connect to iTunes. I created an iTunes account, however this is not the same account nor computer as the last. I have tried everything. When I connect the phone to iTunes, it says "To allow access, respond on your iPhone…" which I'm not aware of how to do. My phone also will not enter "Recovery Mode". This IS urgent.
That's how the anti-theft security system works…
It has to either have the proper password entered, or be connected to a computer it was synched to previously and have itunes logged in to the owners account (that matches the phone info) to unlock it.
Those are things that show it's not stolen; nothing else will work, or the anti-theft systems would be pointless - the whole idea is to make stolen phones worthless and unusable.
Get your friend to connect it back to their computer for a few minutes and reset the security. They can then disable the passwords and do a proper "factory reset" on it, ready for you to use.
- My IPhone Won't go into recovery mode? I was walking yesterday and my IPhone 4S randomly turned off and it had %76 of battery. I've tried everything. I've help the power and home button and it won't reset. I also tried just holding the home button and it won't go into recovery mode. I plugged my IPhone into my PC on Itunes and it says I need to restore and update it. I press it and it pops up an error message saying its unable to. So if someone could help, that would be great!
- My iphone is stuck in recovery mode, and iTunes won't recognize it? They don't recognize it neither in recovery mode and neither in DFU mode. Is there a way to ''hard reset'' or reboot it without itunes? This happened while i was trying to install ios 8 GM.
- My iphone 4s won't go into recovery mode? I'm trying to into the iphone with the passcode i had forgotten already. I tried out the tips from apple and nothing happens. They say the "connect to itunes" screen will come along but it didn't.same with the "recovery mode screen". I would risk deleting all my files in there as long as i'm able to get in.
