HT1766 iPhone 4s; Is it possible to sync apps to icloud without using the touchscreen?

I've been using my iphone 4S with a cracked screen for over three months now (it fell on a tile floor hitting the top front corner first, 5 weeks after I got it) without any issues. Tonight I dropped it from a height of about 8 inches and the part of the face that was cracked made first contact with something that was on a table I was standing at, jamming it further into the phone. When I picked it up I noticed a small piece had also fallen out near an intersection of the cracks. The touchscreen is now completely black.
My question: Is it possible to sync my apps to the icloud without using the iphone touchscreen? I plan I getting a new phone and had my icloud setup to sync my mail, contacts and calendars. I've been able to download all my pictures and video to my computer.

Getting/reinstalling the apps isn't a problem. I'm only concerned with the data that is stored within them. For instance I have a mileage tracker I've been using but haven't uploaded the data from the phone to back it up anywhere. I'd like to do that before getting a new phone but I can't see what i'm doing due to the screen not working.
The phone is actually still working and I've been able to use Siri to make calls and send texts without a working screen. The screen still accepts inputs apparently so if I could return settings to factory settings I could theoretically use another phone side by side to show me exactly where I need to touch and when to back up my applications to iClould.
Going forward, I actually had ordered another case before my accident as my current case doesn't provide enough protection. It'd be nice if Apple actually made an iphone that didn't need such band-aids for normal usage.

  • Is it possible to run a java program without using the command prompt?

    Hi,
    I was wondering whether it is possible to run a Java program (not an applet) without using a command line in the command prompt?
    Basically I want to run a program that will be continually running in the background and hence I don't want to have a command prompt screen loaded up as well - I just want the program to be running in the task bar.
    I know how to run the program in the task bar - but I still need to launch the program from the command prompt - is there anyway I can get a program running without having to start it from the command prompt?
    Cheers

    Or create a desktop shortcut (in Windows) or an application launcher ( in Linux GUI).

  • Is it possible to turn off my 4s without using the sleep/wake button?mine has broken but prefer to turn off overnight and when in work

    As above!

    It's no possible to turn it off without the sleep/wake button. You can use the mute switch while at work and at night.

  • Is it possible to sync PDFs with multiple computers using the same apple ID?

    I have successfully synced these PDFs with one computer (iMac) and one iOS device (iPhone).
    However, I can't figure out how to sync the PDFs with the second computer (Macbook Pro).
    I added the PDFs to iTunes by dragging them into the books tab. I then set the iOS device to sync books via iBooks.
    Does iTunes only sync books purchased from the iTunes store?
    I am using iTunes v11.1 on both computers.

    If you have tow computers that wish to talk to each other then no matter what Buddy List you use you will need two accounts.
    If this is a List that logs into the AIM servers it can be an old @mac.com name, the newer MobileMe name or an AIM name.
    With a Jabber List it can be a Jabber ID or GoogleTalk ID
    In a straight forward set up Jabber Lists (Jabber ID) can not talk to AIM Buddies or An AIM Buddy List (Screen Name) talk to Jabber Buddies

  • Is it possible to force 16/32-bit stack alignment without using the optimizer?

    The compiler emits code targeted at the classic Pentium architecture for the -m32 memory model.  I'm running into problems mixing Sun Studio compiled code with code built with other compilers because the other compiler builds under the assumption that the stack is 16-byte aligned.
    The only way I've found to force Sun Studio to comply with that restriction is with -xarch={sse2a,sse3,...}, but this causes the code to pass through the optimizer.  As noted in the documentation, if you want to avoid optimizations you must remove all flags that imply optimizations -- that is to say, there's no way to disable optimizations once enabled.  This should not, however, be treated as an optimization because it's an ABI requirement.
    I've scoured the documentation, spent many hours googling, digging through forums, and asking questions.
    The best I've come up with is the -xarch option which is sub-optimal because it has side effects.  I tried -xchip=pentium4 (this is what my other compilers have set as their default target), but the generated code doesn't force 16-byte stack alignment.
    Is there a way to force the compiler to emit code conforming to a different ABI without using the optimizer?
    -Brian

    Thank you for your response.
    I hope you won't mind my asking: do you have a way to prove that it's not possible to force 16-byte alignment without using the optimizer?  I ask because your username / profile don't give the impression you work for Oracle, so while I think you're probably right it's at least possible that we're both mistaken.  I haven't been able to find any documentation on either stack alignment or altering the targeted ABI short of using the -xarch flag, and even there the details are fairly sketchy.

  • I have just updated my 4s to IOS7. and now my battery discharge is significantly increase. With my Iphone fully charged, the battery run out within 6 hours without using the phone at all. Would it be possible to get the IOS 6.1.3 back to my 4S?

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
    Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
    All of your help is much appreciated, thanks

    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
    This link gives another overview of backup and restore:

    Be aware that photos should always be synced to a computer for archiving and that relying on a restore from an icloud backup may not return all (or any) of your photos.  Once on the computer, you can sync the photos to the new device...

  • How do I backup my iPhone on iCloud without accessing the settings on the actual device?

    Last night i dropped my iPhone 4s in some water and it will not turn on at all. In order to get a new handset, Apple have asked me to backup my phone on iCloud and then wipe it to be sent off... However, i've tried and it doesn't seem possible without accessing the iPhone settings which are actually on the iPhone. Is it possible to backup my broken handset without actually accessing the options on the device.
    Advice would be amazing as soon as possible as the man is coming to collect the phone tomorrow morning!

    Hello Asicopper,
    If the iCloud is not alredy setup on your iPhone then you cannot setup without access on your iPhone as it has to be done Manually entering your Apple Id and Password in iPhone Settings>iCloud and then you need to Turn On the Data that needs to be backed up on iCloud and also click on Backup now for the first time. But if you have ever synced your iPhone with iTunes on your computer then you can check on your computer if you have a backup taken there. You can check that by opening iTunes on your Computer in iTunes > Edit> Preferences> Device and under Device see if you have any backup. And there is "No" other way to backup your iPhone if it is completely Dead.

  • How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?

    How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?
    We are two people using three difrent Macs, 1 Iphone and 1 Ipad with separate USERS  on each Mac but sharing the same Apple ID: xxxxxx
    I set up the first user to iCloud and it was OK but when I set up the second user to use iCoud the first users's info gets mixed with the second user's info?
    Do we have to set up a diffrent Apple ID for each other?
    Sometime ago I added my friends E mail (yyyyy) to the main Apple ID (xxxx) as for using his E mail account (to separate our e mail accounts, and it's working ok) but now when I try to create a new apple ID whith the same friend's e mail (yyyyyy)  it says that his mail (yyyyy) is already an apple ID when the Apple ID is really my E mail (xxxxx)... any clue?
    Thanks

    I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered

    Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
    Hope that helps

  • Hi am having problems with iTunes,I have all my music on my 4s but I bought the iPhone 5 today.us there any way that I can transfer music over to my new phone without using the library?as it doesn't seem to be on my PCM anymore.

    Hi am having problems with iTunes,I have all my music on my 4s but I bought the iPhone 5 today.is there any way that I can transfer music over to my new phone without using the library?as it doesn't seem to be on my PC anymore.i reset my pc and save my iTunes to a hard drive but can't access it.Need help please

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

    We have 2  ipods & would like to sync different songs to each using the same itunes library. How do we accomplish this?

    Use one of the several outlined methods in this Apple support document. I personally like the individual playlist set up where you add everything you want to a specific playlist and then set up each iPod to sync that one playlist that contains all the content you would like to be synced to it.

  • (LR5) Possible to synchronize a modification-amount, without unifying the settings ?

    (LR5) Possible to synchronize a modification-amount, without unifying the settings ?
    Assume I have ten completely different photos i each optimized individually.
    Thus, sliders (not speaking about curves) of, say, color-tint  or temperature; could/would be each on a different setting.
    Is it possible to intervene on such a slider collectively without changing their individual starting-point?
    "Every selected-photo's  tint-slider  go up by 7 values,  without synchronizing the final setting itself ?
    ( first photo slider position of  -7  becomes 0,   second photo was 2 and becomes 9, etc) ?
    Auto-sync does not do that.
    Sync does not.
    Is there a plug-in for enabling this?
    ignoring the solution ?
    Impossible ?
    Thank You for any reply soon ! :-)

    Yes:
    * Without a plugin: limited adjustments are available via Quick Develop section.
    * With plugin: comprehensive support is available via plugins like Gazoo (free), which I wrote.
