Disk scan with broken screen

I have unfortunately somehow cracked my video ipod screen, im over it didn't much care, but i want to preform a disk scan, as I KNOW there are bad sectors, over 3 gigs of space that could be freed up as there is no space free and, I now use my ipod to mostly store files and sometimes listen to music, I need those 3 gb, but I don't know when to press what. When I reset ipod, the screen turns off, than goes to brightest screen, then to lowest brightness,(thats what it was set as before i cracked the screen) I don't know when to press what, can anyone help me?

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 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.

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.

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,

In order to save on shipping and repair costs, you might want to look up a local Mac expert. That way, you save on shipping and repair. Find one who offers a warranty, and comes with references.

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

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?

Installing Windows XP on Macbook Pro 17 inch with broken screen...

My Macbook Pro 17 inch's (2.16 ghz, 2006) screen is broken, and displays only the top 1/4 accurately, with the lower 3/4 a series of lines, etc...
Up until recently, the screen would work after a period of time so long as I did not move it. However, now, it is a complete loss, as mentioned above.
My problem is that I cannot install Windows XP using bootcamp because I cannot see what on earth I am doing! And the last thing I want to do is accidently format my OS X partition while blindly fumbling around in the Windows XP boot screen.
I was able to install (obviously) Leopard by closing the laptop screen immediately after startup, forcing the computer to use my external monitor. This, however, does not work once the computer begins the windows installer, it simply reverts back to the laptop screen.
Any advice would be of great help! I have searched forum after forum, but have found no one with a similar problem.
Thank you!
p.s.- you'd think a $3200 laptop would last a little longer. So far I have replaced the HD twice, as well as the left internal cooling fan...

No help with broken screen

I have read many articles on the internet about how wonderful and sypathetic Apple are when it comes to broken devices, and how people have had their devices replaced free of charge out of good will. Well, my son is nearly 8 years old and has owned an ipad 2 for the last 14 months, it has been in a leather cover since new, the other day i told him to take it out of the cover and clean the screen with wipes, as you can imagine 8 year old boys and dirty fingers that get put in every orafice!!, Anyway, he took it out to clean it and dropped it on the tiles kitchen floor, resulting in a very craked screen and one very distressed little boy. I booked a slot at the genius bar in the apple shop where we bought it and attended at the correct time. I was told then that there was nothing they could do as they dont repair them and it would cost me £199......How comes, i have read that other people got it done for zero cost and here they are telling my boy that it's going to be £199 of his pocket money. ??????? Surely it can be done cheaper than that, £100 and I would have said Fair enough, but £200???? They didnt even feel any empathy for my son, they just wanted to hurry up and move onto the next customer, Being an Apple governed family, with iphones and ipods and ipads taking over the home, i hope nothing else gets dropped! NOT VERY IMPRESSED!

The warranty covers materials and workmanship not damage. Dropping the iPad is classified as damage hence it is no longer under warranty after it was dropped.
Those are the rules. If you can find an Apple Store that is not following the rules they might replace it for you but that is totally up to them.
You can complain to Apple Customer Service but they are going to tell you the same thing I just told you.

HELP WITH BROKEN SCREEN 2G!!

So on sunday, i was talking to a friend on the phone, and being a clumsy idiot, tripped on a crack in the pavement that was like 5 inches tall. i ended up accidentally throwing my phone, and when i got it, it looked like this (will get links to pics in a bit!) it works perfectly though! i can text, make calls, even the places where the glass cracked originally work fine. but i want to get the glass replaced! ive seen on ebay that you can buy replacement glass, but i DO NOT want to open up this phone!! does anybody know if apple will cover it? i checked and it said my phone was not insured, but i still have apple complimentary service that expires in jan 25, 2010. will this complimentary service cover it? and if not, then how much would it cost? and is there a way to replace this myself without opening the phone, or taking it to a repair company and paying 250$ or more? Thanks for the help!!

Apple's warranty for the iPhone is a manufacturer's warranty, which does not cover accidental damage. Apple provides a one year warranty on the iPhone with an option to purchase the AppleCare extended warranty for U.S. residents anytime before the one year warranty period expires, which extends the standard one year warranty by an additional year. This is a manufacturer's warranty, which is limited and is not insurance.
Apple doesn't offer a menu of repair services such as replacing the glass and screen except for replacing the battery. With the first generation iPhone, there is more involved than just replacing broken glass.
Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price, which pays for an exchange and includes a warranty. Apple's "repair" or exchange price for the first generation iPhone is $199 for the 8GB, and $249 for the 16GB. You will receive an exchange which will be a refurbished first generation iPhone.

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.
