Can somebody tell me how could I unlock my disabled Iphone 5S?

Restore the iPhone
This is covered in the manual and asked and answered on these forums many times each day.
Also a simple google search will find the apple article explaining how to do this.

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.

Unlikely as you do not meet there requirements for unlocking.
Have your friend the provided the phone contact them. Based on your statements I am concluding he was or still is an AT&T customer, that is one of the requirements of getting the device unlocked.

HT201328 How do I unlock a disabled iphone?

How do I unlock a disabled iphone?

The article I linked specifically says "iPhone is disabled". And there is a reference to 'lock' on that page, at the bottom:
Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
There's even a picture.
Also, that article links to another article about Using Passcodes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4113
Which refers to a 'lock' and' 'unlock' multiple times.
Or, hey, that article has a link to Find My iPhone overview... which ALSO refers to 'locking' an iPhone: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2696
Use Lost Mode to lock and track your device
Oh, and THAT article also links to Activation Lock: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695 which also has a lot of references to 'lock'. Heh, it's even in the TITLE.
Are you going to keep trying to say that "The ONLY time you 'unlock' a phone is with a carrier."?
You are wrong. That is not the only time you 'unlock' an iPhone.
The OP asked: "How do I unlock a disabled iphone?"
A phone locked to a carrier is not disabled. It can be used with that carrier.
Unlocking a disabled iPhone refers to when the passcode has been entered too many times.
There is a passcode lock function for iPhones.
To unlock an iPhone that is passcode locked, you need to enter the passcode.
Enter the passcode incorrectly too many times, and it becomes disabled.
The only thing about the OP's post that even suggests this is an issue about carrier unlocking is the article he linked from, which is most likely explained because he seached for 'unlock iphone'. First Google result is the article he linked from.
But a carrier locked phone is not DISABLED. You are ignoring that part of the OP's post, and focusing on the word 'unlock', which has multiple meanings.
The most likely issue is a passcode lock on the phone, which was entered incorrectly too many times, and thus, the iPhone is disabled.
Just like the OP said: "How do I unlock a disabled iphone?"
Being 'locked' to a carrier has NOTHING to do with an iPhone being disabled. Restricted to use on that particular carrier? Yes. Disabled? No.

Can somebody tell me how to transfer iPhone/iPod backup data from my old computer to a new one?

Is it possible for me to transfer the backup data of my iPod touch and iPhone from my old computer to a new one? I don't own any Macs, only PCs. My backup data are saved on a PC (desktop) which has Windows XP SP2 as its OS and I am planning to transfer my iPod/iPhone backup data to a laptop with Windows 7 as its OS. Is it possible? If so, can someone tell me the step-by-step procedure on how to do this, including how to find the folder where my backup data is stored. I would be very much grateful. Thanks a lot for those who may be able to help me with this matter. ^_^
P.S. I am planning to use an external hard disk to transfer my backup data to the new computer.

Ah, I see. In that case your life will be much easier if you convert your library back into a portable format before you attempt to migrate it.
The normal location for the iTunes Library.itl file is the iTunes folder at <User's Music>\iTunes though it is possible that you have previously moved the library separately from moving the media folder, or you could have your media stored outside the designated iTunes Media folder.
Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
In the layout above, with the media folder (everything in the red box) inside the library folder, the library is considered to be portable. You can rearrange things to make a split library portable by taking a number of small steps which don't break the library.
Before you start any media files that are outside of the designated media folder will need to be consolidated. N.b. Your iTunes Media folder location should be on the target drive that you are going to build the portable library on. If you have the bulk of your library is stored in a folder on an external drive that is not currently designated as the iTunes Media folder then change this property (Edit > Preferences > Advanced) before consolidating.
If the library is in the old style layout then it should ideally be be upgraded to iTunes Media Organisation (Library > Organise Library > Rearrange files in the folder <Media Folder>) to ensure that iPod Games, Mobile Applications etc. are brought inside the media folder.
The basic non-fatal manipulations are:
You can connect to an alternate set of library files by holding down Shift (Win) or Option (Mac) when starting iTunes.
You can move the library files to a new location as long as the media stays put.
You can move the library files and the media together if the media folder is a direct subfolder of the library folder.
If you have already moved/copied the media content from a subfolder of the library folder to a different location then you only need to copy the library files for it to appear as if you have moved the entire library in the way allowed above. I.e. just copy the library files into the parent folder of the media folder.
You can rename the media folder to iTunes Media (if it isn't already) if the media folder is inside the library folder.
iTunes uses the name of the folder holding the library files as the window title. Having made a library "portable" you may need to take a final step of renaming the library folder to iTunes or, if the library files have ended up at the root of a drive, moving all of the library files and content folders into a new folder called iTunes.
After each change you need to open, test and close the relevant library before attempting another change. If a change broke the library, undo it or revert to using the previous set of library files.
In essence all you need to do to make your library portable is copy the library files into the parent folder of the media folder on the external/secondary drive and use the hold-down-shift/option-when-starting-iTunes method to connect to it. Other manipulations may be required to normalize the library so that the library and media folders have standard names.

I am still learning how to use icloud,can someone tell me how to delete music from my iphone 5,new updates have been installed, thank you

How is music deleted from the iphone 5 with new updates installed?

First, Music is not part of icloud. If you mean iTunes Match,
Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.
https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_match
Otherwise, you use iTunes on your computer to sync chosen music to a device or uncheck any selected music and then sync again to get rid of music on the device.

Can Somebody tell me how to get my MBP like it Was...

I received a new MBP (thanks to a genius who was tired of trying to fix all my software and hardware issues). The same tech said when the new MBP comes in he will transfer my data, settings, etc to my new computer and update it. I did not think of it at the time, but when I got the MBP (the new one back) and realized he transfered everything, Preferences settings, files, folders, even the programs in a seperate folder-all that I would think one could transfer in regards to software. When my new MBP started acting up I realized a lot of the stuff it was doing was what my old MBP was doing.
I called him and asked if we should have tried to fix the software issues before transferring everything or maybe just putting them in folders and I could save my bookmarks, docs, etc. but trash all the settings, preferences, stuff like that.
I would like to get the notebook back to how it arrive at the Apple Store plus with the latest important updates. I know it involves some critical stuff, but I do not have enough confidence that I will be able to accomplish what needs to be done and have it done correctly.
Are there articles for a new MBP that walks a person step by step in removing everything, wiping the HD clean and doing a fresh install, step by step in the correct order of things and leaving everything off other then my passwords, bookmarks, and a few docs?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Thanks Roger-
What about the bookmarks? I really have nothing I want to save and transfer over because all I have been through with the old MBP and now this new one with the data that was transferred from my old MBP. I would have thought that the genius guy would have thought about the problems since he was the one who tried to fix the old MBP and left to talk to the manager and came back to tell me they were going to get me a new MBP.
Anyway, what about the ONE-to-One that I registered on this computer and I have a link to click that brings me to my page and other things like my keychain or all my passwords and usernames? It looks like I missed some with the new MBP because it does not have a name and some small stuff like that is missing because I did not do a set-up. The genius guy did the transfer of all my stuff from my old MBP.
There were a lot of updates that the genius guy did get (but when I got the MBP, I have been unable to get the machine to tell me I have new updates). I had to find out was I really missing updates or was it something else. I tried to find the place that lists the updates that come across <Apple>Software Updates... I found several "latest updates, recent 3rd party updates, top Apple downloads, but I am not sure which category is the one that tells me the updates I should have had. I know that iTunes it missed, but the rest I am not sure which list has the updates I need.
Make any sense? I did not get an iLife disk. Is iLife on the grey disks now?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

HT1879 I downloaded an audiobook on my ipad but can't seem to get it onto my iPhone. Can somebody tell me how to do it?

I purchased an audiobook on my ipad thinking it would download to all my devices but I can't get it on anything else but that ipad. How do I get it to my iphone?

This is a ridiculous policy and it interferes with how most people would listen to an audio book since they are quite lengthy. I'm traveling, so I throw the audio book on using my iPad and I get 60% of the way through the book on my trip. I come home, I want to listen to the rest of it via iTunes on my stereo through AirPlay. And this can't be done?
This is the last audiobook I buy from iTunes until they *fix* this... and it IS something that requires fixing whether that means negotiating more aggressively with the audiobook providers or changing something at the software layer. It completely ruins many peoples' experience!
It's funny because a friend of mine suggested buying it, then downloading it from a torrent just so I could use the book the way I wanted to use the book. Is it not sad that to create a positive overall user experience you have to resort to downloading something off a torrent?
iTunes is supposed to make things easy and accessible. I agree with jamusick's posting -- this isn't the vision Steven Jobs had for the future. This is a road block on the way there.

HT1386 HELP!!! I cannot sync my iPhone to iTunes. The message says I don't have enough access privelages. And I cannot drag/drop any songs into my device. After updating, I have no music content on my phone. Please, can somebody tell me how to fix this?

Can someone please help me? I cannot sync my phone with iTunes after updating the software, & my phone has no music. The message window keeps saying I don't have enough access privelages. It also won't recognize my new subscription to iCoud when I turn on iMatch in Settings. I have tried everything I can think of & am ready to throw this thing out of the window in frustration.

The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to move everything to your new computer.
