Backup of an iPad with broken screen

hi all,
I have an iPad of a collegue with a broken screen, it just gives a few brightly colored lines. I can't see anything and can't type in the PINcode. There's no current backup and I would very much like to make a backup. I now, my collegue should thought of that befare, it's probably a lesson ;-)
When I connect it to iTunes it asks me unlock the device but I can't see the keyboard and it isn't working at all.
Is there a way to enter the pincode on a different way? Can I connect it to the iPad keyboard dock and type in the pincode?
any help would be very much appriciated.
best regards,
emiel stroeve

  • Backup and sync iPhone with broken screen

    I recently dropped my iPhone 5s and broke the display.  The phone itself is fine; I can still hear it receive text messages and emails but the screen iself is blacked out.  I am assuming that it is a hardware problem.  Anyway, my friend tried to reset by pressing the home and power button.  Now, whenever I plug the phone into a charger or my computer, the phone emits an incessant beeping noise every 5 seconds.  What is this noise?  And also, I can no longer use features on my phone like Siri and such after my friend tried to reset the phone.  Is my phone broken?  I cannot really tell if this is a problem that can be fixed with a new screen or if there is something worse wrong with my phone.
    Additionally, I have tried to backup my phone by connecting to my computer but it doesn't allow a backup to take place because it needs a passcode to be entered on the phone itself which, of course, is impossible since my display is broken.  However, I was able to synchronize my phone to my computer.  My question is that, if I get a completely new phone, can I restore to a previous backup and then synchronize to the most recent synchronization?  Also, if you have any knowledge on the other questions, I would greatly appreciate some information.  Thanks!

    I apologise if this is a really stupid question.
    I last backed up my phone a few weeks ago, carried on taking pictures with it etc, and then dropped it, breaking the screen which turned black with a single white line down the middle.
    I can receive calls by guessing where to swipe so it is sort of working.
    A new iPhone is in the post, but I can't back this phone up because I get the following message when I try:
    "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be backed up."
    I have been searching the web, but can't find a way to unlock the phone.
    So (unless anyone has a genius idea, in which case I will love them forever), what will I lose if I don't sync?
    I don't think I should lose the photos I took since my last sync, since Photostream should take care of that, no?
    Many thanks, C

  • Ipad 2 Broken Screen

    I have two ipad2's both with broken screens. Only the glass is broken and I have so far there has been no issue with the software. I am wondering what apple does with ipad such as mine, the cost and what I get. I am also wondering if they offer something where they buy the ipad off me and use it for parts, etc. Any answers would be much appreciated.
    Thanks Malory22

    Apple does not repair iPads, but will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee. See the Repair Pricing section here, selecting the country as appropriate:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/service/faq/
    There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipad repair".  You can also look for parts and instructions and do the repair yourself. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPad serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform your own repair, you will get no further support from Apple.
    Regards.

  • Help with broken screen on new ipad plee I have brand new iPad when the smart cover slipped.  Any ideas on cost to replace screen as it has shattered. Thanks in advance.

    I have just dropped my brand new iPad when the smart cover slipped.  Any ideas on cost to replace screen as it has shattered. Thanks in advance.

    Flat rate $299.
    Actually, they won't replace the screen, they'll replace it.  The following is a C&P from the link that I gave you.
    "If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below."

  • Cannot back up iPhone with broken screen (asking for password).

    So I have pretty much destroyed my phone in a biking accident.  It somewhat functions, but the screen is so badly damaged that I cannot operate it.  It destroyed the frame enough that it cannot read my sim card for what it's worth.  Anyway, I wanted to perform a last backup before I got rid of this thing and it is asking to put in my password on iTunes.  The problem is that I cannot type it in cause my screen is so far gone.  Any options for me?
    Also, is there a way to wipe it clean without using the screen?

    Same thing happened to me: broken screen on iPhone 5; iTunes prompted me to unlock phone when attempting to do a tethered backup & sync; same computer I always did backups/syncs on and didn't need to unlock phone before screen was broken. My solution, because the phone looked otherwise fine (doesn't sound like yours is though) was to remove my girlfriend's iPhone 5's screen and temporarily replace my broken screen with hers (followed iFixit tutorials).  Everything worked (good thing, otherwise I promised I would buy her a new phone) and sync w/ backup started without me having to unlock the phone, then I put the screen back on the original device and now I'm waiting for my iPhone 6 to come 9/19 and I'll restore from backup. So the broken screen was obviously the thing that triggered iTunes to not allow a backup without unlocking. Another sign something was wrong before I swapped screens was when I connected the broken phone to the charger:  I got a repeating charging-bong sound going off at about a three second interval between bongs.

  • Does apple replace iphone 4s with broken screen?

    I want to learn about the apple replacement program. thanks!

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • Nokia 1209 with broken screen i need contacts.

    I have a broken screen and i need to copy the contacts from phone to screen. Does anyone know the keystrokes/steps to do this?

    I think the ´up´on this answer is for a phone with a 3x3 grid. Does anyone know the key sequence to get into ´contacts´ with a list menu?
    Thanks

  • Near new ipod touch with broken screen

    I have a 2 week old  ipod touch 4 with a broken screen. Can anyone tell me if it is covered buy warranty (unlikely l know) and if not what are the costs involved in getting it fixed and are the do - it - yourself kits any good.

    It's not covered by the warranty. Here are the costs for the repair by Apple: Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    But you can also search the Internet for 3rd party repair, but you'll have no warranty after that by Apple anymore.

  • Can't backup or sync iPad with iOS 8

    I had no trouble backing up or syncing my iPad with my iMac via iTunes until I upgraded from iOS 7 to iOS 8.02. Now, iTunes seems to act the same as before, except when I tell it to backup it starts to do it, then immediately stops; and it won't even attempt to sync: the sync button is grayed. This is with the iPad connected via USB, regardless of whether or not I choose using WI-FI.

  • IMac with broken screen

    hi guys,
    my friend has an iMac 24" with a broken screen. is it possible to connect this to a normal monitor and use the iMac like a desktop computer?
    thanks!

    There is a Mini-DVI output port with support for DVI, VGA, S-video, and composite video connections via adapter on the back to connect a second display. You would just need the correct cable and to set the second display to mirror the primary display.
    The damage isn't covered under warranty?

  • Syncing passcode protected ipad 2 with broken screen

    Well, I broke my ipad screen (and probably more)... left it on the top of the car while strapping in the 10 month old, headed off to parts unknown and when the car got up to speed I heard a horrid thud, and saw the poor thing bounce.  I wanted to see if I could still still sync one last time because I've got some movies of said 10 month old I'd really like to save....
    Connected to itunes, and to my amazement the computer recognized the device!  unfortunately, I got the dreaded message that it couldn't connect because it was locked with a passcode.  I know the passcode, but can't enter it because the screen is broken!
    Any ideas?  I'm not worried about purchased apps or music, as I think I can redownload most of that stuff from the itunes store, but I just want to get the pictures and home movies off.

    We cannot speak for Apple on this forum - we are just Apple users.
    But as an Apple user, my strong advice to you is to expect a refurbished and not a new unit.
