How can i override my passcode on my iphone? i cracked my screen and cant back it up without entering a passcode

How can i override my passcode? i cracked my screen and im tryint to back up my phone and it wont let me without my passcode being entered but my touch screen is not responding

You won't be prompted for the passcode if you plug it in and sync/backup using the computer you normally sync with (assuming the passcode was set before the last time you synced).
Have you ever synced/backed it up?
If you have not, or you set up the passcode since the last sync, or the computer it was synced with is unavailable, then you're out of luck. You can't back it up.
If you set up back up to iCloud, plug it in to power overnight in a place where it can connect to WiFi and cross your fingers.

    How can I change the settings on my iPhone 5 so that I get new emails automatically? Without having to open the mail app.
    Thanks!

    No, they will all follow the default setting. If you want them all to fetch, for example every 15 minutes, then set it to 15 minutes in Fetch. I only mentioned the other if you wanted to leave one for manual. I have an account on my phone that is a POP account that I get mail at home from. I let my home computer get this mail, but when I am out of town, I pick it up with the iPhone. That one is set to manual.

    Dear Sir,

I got information that i need to put sim card with no pin code and i did it and also they asked to connect it to Itunes and i did it but i-tunes did not read my mobile and this is the problem. can you help?

  • How can I transfer all my photos on iPhone to iCloud for archive and delete them off my phone?

    I do not want to simply backup my phone with iCloud.  My iPhone's memory is full and I would like to transfer all my 10,000+ photos to iCloud for safe keeping, and delete them off my phone.  Could I do that?  I know that iCloud is typically used for backing up the phone and works like a 'mirror' to the phone, but I want to use it more as an archive drive.  Please advise!

    The only iCloud feature that meets this requirement is the iCloud Photo Library (Beta). I don't think that I would trust all my photos to a Beta-level product.
    You could create a Dropbox Account and move the photos to it or move the photos to your computer.

    I have had the same problem with iPad recently not too sure why it happened but if you are completing a full reset anyway the easiest way is the restore via itunes on your computer and then set up a new passcode again. Resetting via itunes doesnt require a passcode so it should go straight through.
    Hope this helps

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
