how can i open my iphone 4s when i have forgotten my passcode ? without deleting everything on it

Put it in recovery mode to restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screenand iOS: Recovery mode
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 prompts 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", below.
Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
When the backup is complete, select Restore.
When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode.

    my grandson forgot his passcode and doesn't want to loose what he has on it, how can we get into the phone

    You don't if you forget. That's what passcode is for to protect without the correct passcode.

  • HT1766 How do you sync an iphone with itunes on a new MacBook Pro without deleting everything on your iPhone?  It is the iPhone 4.

    How do you sync an iphone 4 with itunes on a new MacBook Pro without deleting everything on your iPhone 4 if it was previously syned on a PC? 

    Follow the steps listed here under the section titled "External Drive".  Once you find the location of the iTunes Media folder you can transfer it over a netork connection, rather than using an external drive.

  • How can i fix my iphone 3gs when i have network issues after updating to IOS 6.1.3 and avoid the connect to ITunes screen?

    Im an owner of an Iphone 3gs.
    When I updated my software to IOS 6.1.3 I started having network issues such as my phone would go on searching, it would search for signal and then No service after few minutes it would restart and when its on again it would show me Connect To Itunes screen, I tried connecting but nothing happens and if I just leave it as it is it will just keep on restarting and showing the same screen sometimes I might get lucky and the phone will start working again but No Service and if I turn on my 3G for the times Im outdoors it will just restart again so 3G is also another problem I have got. Today I decided to take it to an Apple Store, the guy restored it and now what happens is that it switches on and is showing me the connect to Itunes message but with black backround and i cant do anything it keeps on restarting and showing the same thing. Please if there is anyone that would like to spend some time with me to help me out, he would be more than Welcome.

  • Do u unlock an iphone 4 when u have forgotten the password

    how do u unlock an iphone 4 when u have forgotten the password, how do u unlock it when u forget the password

    Either force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it:

    Or, login to iCloud.com, locate the phone, then erase it.
    Either method will remove the passcode.

  • How do I enable my ipod touch if I have forgotten my passcode?

    How can I enable my ipod touch if I have forgotten my passcode?  I can't restore it from itunes because it is locked.

    Hold down the sleep/off button for three seconds. Then keep holding it, and push the home button and old both for 10 seconds. The screen should go black about 6 seconds into that. After that, let go of the sleep button and keep holding the home button for 10 seconds. This will force the iPod into DFU mode, and you can restore it in iTunes. If at first you don't succeed, try again, because the timing can be tricky.

  • How can I open the taps(now) when I open the firefox next time?

    How can I open the taps(now) when I open the firefox next time?

    There is no way to programitically bring up the dialog window for the timestamp control. I recommend building your own dialog window VI that will work by opening when you want the user to set the time and when it closes, it can programatically update the timestamp control. It will not be as pretty but it will be just as functional.
