Why should I erase my iphone if I don't remember my password

so my sister iPhone is craked up to the point where nothing appears on the screen, we strive to save on iTunes, so tried to contact IDs but it would not go well, but my main thing is why do we not have to erase everything on your phone by getting no not his access code. My sister iPhone is disabled and we have good pictures on his iphone and apple say erase the iPhone, it's frustrating.

Generally, we are unable to answer 'why' questions on these forums.  The terms of use forbid us to speculate on why Apple does not does not specific measures.

But I can tell you that I strongly agree with this particular concept.  My data is password protected.  If someone does not know this password, I would not like their access to my data.

About these photos, if they are important, you need to have saved them before a disaster strikes.  After that disaster, it is too late to perform a backup.  Similarly, you can wait until after a serious car accident to decide that it's time to buy auto insurance and a covered accident.

I say all this hoping that it is a lesson for the next time.

  • Why should I activate my iPhone whenever I change the SIM card?

    Is there a way to stop this requirement without disabling find my iPhone? I have several SIM cards that I use in the different counties and it is really annoying when my phone asking me to activate using my Apple ID and an internet connection whenever I change my sim card. Is there a way to stop it?

    Thank you

    This should not happen (AFAIK). I use several SIMs when they travel, and it never happened to me. What iOS you run and if it is always passed or there started recently?

  • Why should I activate my iphone 6 OFF or IT inorder to access my voice messages?

    For some reason I can't access my voice messages.  I will receive a new message, click the play button, but nothing happens.

    I have to turn my phone, then turn it back on, which allows me to access my messages.

    Ideas?

    For some reason your synchronization with the data in the cell is declining. As a first step, I would get a replacement from your cell provider nanoSIM.

  • My phone has stopped ringing, but it will vibrate and display on call incoming screen then what direction should I have it on ring outloud.  I don't remember changing anything?

    My phone has stopped ringing, but it will vibrate and display as a call comes in, so what settings should I have on that.  I don't remember changing anything?

    Have you checked the ring/silent switch on the left side of the phone?

    If the switch is slid to the back of the phone and you can see a red line above the switch (the side closest to the screen), it is in silent mode.

  • Come on Apple! : why Itunes wants to erase my iphone to manually manage music for me

    Hello

    I wonder if there is a way to activate the option to manually manage music without the synchronization and erasing all the info on my iphone 6. It is terrible because I can't understand how to do this and I do not use my computer to store all the music on my iphone, and I don't know how to backup all my pictures and etc. in my computer. I have activated this option before on another device and was angry because when Sync I lost all my photos including images of my great-aunt who could now be passed away while she was struggling with cancer was given a little time to live. I am currently using a third-party program called AnyTrans to add titles to my iphone but I want to be able to do simply in itunes instead. That said, does anyone know how to enable this option for those of us who don't do the thing whole sync? As is - this does anyone have ideals about why itunes forces you to synchronize when you change the settings?

    Appreciate any help and advice given here. Thank you!

    Hello

    For the sake of Apple, you can only toggle a device of automatic synchronization to manual management without removing the media on this issue when it is connected to the library, with which it was previously synchronized. See recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device library for general steps to recover all media on a device in the local library, after what you can afford wipe and reload it. If you choose to manage manually in the future you should keep all of your media in a local library that you have backed up so that you can restore your device or replacement as and when the need arises.

    If you have used any other processor of professional quality (for example, Microsoft Word), and then just go ahead and use the current culture of free (financially) applications on devices you mention. It will not take too long before you understand point Apple of giving them. No application in the world can open documents Pages but the most recent version.

    Free will begin to erode when Pages for Mac forget how to open a perfectly fine document that you saved an hour or two ago. Or you realize you have to press the SHIFT key every time you want a first word in a sentence. Or you can not bind the text boxes to the text layout advanced stream. Or you can't do data merge / e-mail. Table of contents page links or comments will not export to PDF.

    Pages is not a clone of Word, and you'll quickly realize that Pages input/export deal with the translation. Open a blank document. Type the letter "A". Export to Word .docx. It will be 494KO in size. Do the same thing in LibreOffice or MS Word and it will be 8 KB.

  • Why should I download a video to my iCloud library whenever I want to watch it?

  • Apple has erased my iPhone!

    I have an iPhone 4 (iOS 7.x) and recently I bought an iPhone SE.

    Shortly after to transfer my data on the new iPhone, Apple locked my Apple ID and forced me to change (what on Earth for?) I've been hacked? It would be good to Apple actually give a reason!).

    I turned on my old iPhone (without SIM card) to play music, and about a minute later, it was remotely WIPED and returned to factory default. I discovered since that this is probably a feature that is automatically enabled in find my Iphone.

    This is totally unacceptable. I never asked this phone deleted. Now I have to start over again! What I now worry that my other migt deleted if devices I change my Apple ID even once?

    Apple does not erase your iPhone.

    Not sure why you think this.  Most of what you say does not sound at all correct.
