Help! Unlocking iPhone without access to phone number
by Guest Pinkjunebug96- 0 replies
- 225 views
My husband has an iPhone 13 pro. He is locked out of his phone (incorrect password entered too many times-not his fault) and now he has to re-setup his phone. He knows his Apple ID and password. However, the problem is that in order to finish setting up his phone he has to enter a verification code which is sent via text— which he doesn’t have access to, since his phone isn’t setup.

Do you want to hide your phone number for new iMessage conversations started from the Mac? This is something that a lot of users may wish to do for privacy reasons. Well, you’ll be pleased to know that you can easily do this on your Mac.

Most users aren’t okay giving out their personal phone numbers to random people. Therefore, privacy buffs who want to avoid this can switch to an email address instead of their phone numbers for new iMessage conversations. Using an email addr…

General advice for those concerned about their battery from the Support FAQ Wiki: Battery health Battery health depends on usage and a variety of other factors. It is normal to see a decrease in battery health by 7-10% per year, resulting in a battery health of 80-85% after 2 years. This number can fluctuate, remain the same, or decrease quickly over a small period and should not cause undue concern. Apple recommend battery replacement when your device falls below 80% battery health if you notice reduced battery life. If it falls below 80% within the first year you may be eligable for a free battery replacement. It fails after your warranty, it's a $69-$89 USD re…

Previously I wasn’t permitted to restore because one of the devices wasn’t on the proper operating software (don’t recall if it was the computer, the back up or the new phone). Given that...
