Have you ever encountered a message on your iPhone saying that the iPhone is disabled and to try again in 2, 20, or 60 minutes? You can even encounter the phone saying that you need to connect to iTunes, and since then the phone is unusable. The reasons for the problem are usually simple and can be fixed.
