Broken screen iPhone Backup

The Genius bar guy told me to make a backup on iTunes from my iPhone 4 before changing my device. I can not go unlock my screen because it is broken and iTunes tells me a message that my device is locked. What should I do to make a backup of my iPhone?

there is no way to back up when the screen is locked in itunes. if you have icloud contacts on there they would be there

Contact Apple support at the appropriate number from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask about possible screen replacement being offered in the UK for the iPhone 5...in the US that is only done on the iPhone 5, and not at all Apple stores at this time. Only certain ones are doing so.
If that is not an option, an out-of-warranty replacement for the iPhone 5 is $229 in the US, convert to Pounds Sterling.

How much apple charge for broken screen iPhone 5

How much charge iPhone 5 broken screen replace

Apple reportedly now will replace the screen in an iPhone 5 for US $149. Availabllity of repair services may vary by country, and I'm not sure if other models of iPhone also can be repaired, so call Apple Support or visit an Apple Store and ask for information. For other problems Apple at this time does not at this time repair iPhones, but will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ coverage, the cost will low; in the US it's $49. If you do not have AppleCare+ on your iPhone, see the Service Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
There are independent iPhone repair services that may be able to do the repair for less than Apple's out-of-warranty charge. Do a web search for "iPhone repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPhone serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further warranty and support from Apple will be voided.

Restoring a broken-screen iPhone 6

My iPhone 6's screen is cracked and unusable. I'm trying to restore it but it says I must turn off Find My iPhone first. Problem is I had removed my phone from Find My iPhone. What can I possibly do? Thanks for your help!

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 5 and 5C. 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.

No. If you break the screen it is not covered by your warranty unless you purchased the Extended AppleCare coverage.

Broken screen iPhone 5c

I just bought my phone, less than a week, it fell on the ground and screen shattered, can I have the screen replaced by Apple?

It's $269 USD but if you carry it into a local Apple Store they may be able to repair just the screen for less (if you're lucky)

My iPhone 5c has a broken screen and won't let me swipe. I got a new iPhone 5c, but want my stuff to backup to it. I haven't backed my old one up in over a year because the storage is full. How would I back it up to iCloud on a Dell or Toshiba computer?

Hi Linda Loo Loo,
If you have backed up previously to iTunes on a specific computer, even if it has been a while, you may be able to still backup even if you are unable enter the passcode on your iPhone due to a damaged screen. You may find the following article helpful:
If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

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!

Hello,
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
There is no way for you to backup with a broken screen.
You will lose whatever wasn't backup.

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.
