Any way to unlock an iPad with severly broken touch screen

My boss left his iPad 3 on the roof of his car.  We located it through iCloud (he has one with an AT&T data plan) and recovered it.   It is severly damaaged but the backlight does come on and it does connect to iTunes.  We've already used iCloud to transfer his account to a new iPad, but he has 12GB of pics that are still on the device.   Unfortunately when it was first lost I the iPad in Lost mode through iCloud.  I took some sheets of paper and used another ipad to make a template of where the slide to unlock was located and the keypad to enter our passcode.  I don't think the digitizer is working at all as I'm entering the passcode but it is not unlocking and thus I can't get it to back up in iTunes until it is unlocked.  Is there any other way to enter the passcode other than the iPad screen?

Still can't unlock the device, but after putting it on a charger for awhile and then reconnecting to my PC, the DCIM folder contianing the pics is showing up through Windows Explorer.  I'm just going to pull the pictures off that way.  That pictures were the only items I couldn't get through the iCloud back up.

  • Is there any way to locate an iPad with a MAC Address and a Serial Number?

    I happen to know the MAC Address for my recently stolen iPad.  Is there any way to use that to locate an IP address the next time it accesses the web?

    Not really. Other software would have to be installed on the device to locate it. That's what Find My iPhone is for (and it's free).
    File a report with your local police.

  • Any way to tranfer contact information from a Palm Pre with a broken touch screen?

    My beloved Palm Pre died last Friday with the touch screen failing.  It simply stopped responding to inputs.   I am able to unlock the phone and enter some commands from the slide out keypad, but I can't do much.  For example, I can type in "contacts" under just-type and then hit enter and it will take me to the contacts screen.  However, at that point I can't navigate around or open any contacts.   Other commands don't respond to the slide out keypad, such as the "USB Drive" prompt when I plug the phone into my laptop.
    I have several contacts saved on the phone (and some on the SIM) that I can no longer access.  Most were backed up to my Outlook contacts but many are not.   Does anyone have any ideas about how I can move these to an alternate source (Outlook, Google, Desktop, etc) where I can then recover them.   I'm open to any suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Crash.

    There are several methods to export Palm Profile contacts such as:
    http://www.webosnation.com/how-to-export-and-move-your-contacts-patch
    and
    http://www.webosnation.com/how-to-export-your-webos-contacts-csv
    but they all require a device with a responsive touchscreen. I am unaware of any way to access your webOS Profile data from HP's backup servers directly, without a device.
    So...if you either know someone with a webOS device you could borrow, or find an inexpensive used one (eg eBay...or if you could use Verizon, get a no-contract Pre 2 from BestBuy for a mere $45!!!), and if you had Backup turned on, you should be able to restore them all by signing into your account on a replacement webOS device.

  • HT1369 is there any way to enter your password with a broken screen

    I lost my iphone 4s and had to get a new one.  when I found my old one it had been run over.  It powers up, but the touchscreen wont work at all.  It is password protected and I just want to get my pictures off of it.  When I plug it in to my computer, Itunes tells me the phone is locked and needs me to enter the password into the phone.  I know the password but have no wat to enter it.  Any ideas?

    You need to attach working front assembly to the broken iPhone, or replace the front assembly. Or remove the Logic Board and transfer it to another iPhone 4S, so you can unlock and access your photos.

    The closest you can come, without having a 3G iPad is to have a cellular mobile hotspot like the Mifi or such device, use that to get to wifi, or to tether it to a cell phone.

  • Is there any way to control an iPod with a lock via USB cable?

    I have an iPod touch 4th generation, but I dropped it. The touchscreen no longer works, which is most likely a hardware error (I've tried resetting it). I plan to get a new device, but before that, I would like to be able to unlock it to access certain files and transfer codes inside. I know the lock password to my iPod; is there any way I could control it with my computer?
    Thanks.

  • Is there any way to have an ipad wifi 3G but not use the 3G (therefore avoiding the extra data plan costs) and just use the wifi?

    i am looking to buy an ipad 2 or the new ipad (preferably 32gb) but dont want to buy the 3G version as i have unlimited data usage in my mobile phone plan, i know the wifi only ipad is generally cheaper, but i was wondering if there was a way to buy the ipad with 3G capabilities but not use the 3G and avoid the cost of paying the extra unnecessary data plan? (I know this is a really weird question but i have the opportunity to buy a 3G ipad and was curious of the possibility? any help would be greatly appreciated. cheers

  • Is there any way to make your iPad 2 into an ipad 2 3g?

    I recently bought an iPad 2 iCloud and realized it does not have 3G. Is there any way to upgrade to 3G with my current iPad2? Like, a software update, maybe? Please help...
    Thank you.

    You can't update a wifi-only iPad to have 3G, it doesn't have the necessary hardware within it. If you are within the returns period for wherever you bought it from then you could take it back for a refund and buy the 3G version. Otherwise you can use an iPhone as a personal hotspot for it, or you can get mifi devices which take sim cards and act as mobile hotspots for computers and devices.

  • Is there any way to sync 20 iPads to the same account and keep their folders?

    Is there any way to sync 20 iPads to the same account and keep their folders?

    We have 2200 student iPads on our school campus. When starting from scratch they all receive one identical image and then are renamed according to their property tag (manually ). Students are then checked out their device for the school year and often move their apps around into folders. I often have some come back in to be synced, updated, etc. and I do mid-year updates to apps. As long as their names are unique I have no issues with them retaining folders when they are resented late. So basically as long as you don't mind doing the set up to each one of the 20 the first time you sync them, you can update them whenever you'd like, adding and updating apps, and you can retain folders.
    And of course there are all sorts of other options with Configurator and other MDMs.

    Contact the carrier your phone is locked to. There is no other way to get your phone officially unlocked.
