How can i put my iphone in to dfu mode if my home button is broken i am on ios 7

i cannot figure out how to put my iphone in dfu mode with a broken home button on ios 7

Then you use this support document to restore it. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 Then, if the device is on iOS 7, you will need his Apple ID and password for Activation Lock. If he cannot remember that, there is nothing you can do to change that. DFU mode will not correct that. It will be locked and cannot be activated, period.

  • How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait?

    How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait? Tilting the phone doesn't work.

    Try following - 1 by 1:-
    * make sure portrait lock is not on & try turning on/off several times
    * turn off mobile and turned it back on
    * hard reset by pressing lock and home at same time
    If problem persist, you need to try following but be careful since the following impact your iphone.
    * resetting all setting: this will reset all settings of your iphone back to factory setting
    * resetting all setting by erasing all data: this will reset all setting and erase all data so do back-up and proper syncing and read relevant details
    * restoring from itunes: this will also erase all data and take mobile back to day 1
    last 3 options are last resort and only be done if you are sure you can restore your data.
    Please don't hold me responsible for any data loss while doing last 3 options
    Cheers!

  • How can I take my iPhone & iPad backups from my iMac at home with me while travelling using my Macbookair (128Gb SSD) with an ext. HD?

    How can I take my iPhone & iPad backups from my iMac at home with me while travelling using my Macbookair (128Gb SSD) with an ext. HD? I want to continue to back up my devices including those of my wife while travelling without using the cloud and not returing home for several weeks.
    Any ideas or solutions?
    Thanks for your help.

    You can use any Mac with a recent copy of iTunes to back up an iPhone or iPad. It doesn't have to be the one you usually synch with, so long as you don't let it try to do a synch.
    Just take fresh backups on the MBA. As for how to get the backups onto the external drive, I'll have to leave that to others; I've never tried.

    Remi,
    How long did you hold these buttons for? Did you try more than once?  Have you tried letting it charge for a bit and trying again?

    1. How to Recover Forgotten iPhone, iPad Restrictions Passcode
        If this method does not work, then you will need to fully Restore your
        device as New
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
    If none of the above do what you need, then do the following:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • How can i get my iphone, from the disable mode

    how can i get my iphone 3gs, out of the disable mode?

    If your phone is disabled because you forgot your passcode, restore the phone on the last computer it was synced with. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

  • GUIDE: How to put your iPhone into Recovery/DFU Mode

    As most iPhone owners will be aware, you can reset your device by holding down both the home button and sleep/wake button together until the device reboots. This will cure the majority of crashes and issues.
    However, there may also be occasions where the phone goes seriously wrong and may appear to be 'dead'. Not everybody is aware that there is a second method which can be used to bring a phone back to life when all else seems lost. Consider it a 'last resort' if you like!
    The second method involves putting the phone into recovery, or DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode. Putting the phone into recovery mode lets iTunes know that it needs to perform a full restore on the handset. Here's how to do it:
    1. Ensure that the iPhone is OFF before starting.
    2. On your computer, open iTunes.
    3. Connect your iPhone to your computer using the USB cable.
    4. Hold down the SLEEP/WAKE Button and the HOME button together.
    5. After 10 seconds, let go of the SLEEP/WAKE button (keep the home button held down).
    6. Keep holding the HOME button until iTunes displays a message saying that it has detected a phone in recovery mode.
    You will then be prompted to restore the phone using iTunes. Follow the on screen instructions and your iPhone will be restored.
    You may also have the option to restore your iPhone from a backup, but I would not advise doing this if you think that an app may have caused your device to go wrong in the first place.
    The above method can also be used to get around forgotten PIN numbers. I've used it to restore several of our company handsets when people have handed their phones back in but forgotten to provide their PINs!
    I hope this helps. If anyone reading this needs a hand, just drop me a message and I'll be happy to talk you through it

  • Can we put iphone 3gs into  DFU mode with out power button

    My Iphone 3gs power button not working, so is there any way I can put my iphone into DFU mode..

    No - you can't put the phone in recovery mode or DFU mode without a functioning sleep/wake (power) button.
    Note that DFU mode is only useful when hacking the phone.  Recovery mode is what you want for troubleshooting.

  • When i delete a app i have had the dreaded black screen and i have to put my iphone 5 in dfu mode and restore it can anyone explain why this happens

    When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • How can i restore an iPhone 5 from Recovery Mode loop with broken lock/sleep button?

    Hello,
    I just tried to delete all my data from my iPhone 5 32gb iOS 7.0.4 (with not working lock/sleep button) to install iOS 8.0.2 and after that the loading bar appeared on the screen. When it finished, the iPhone rebooted and went into Recovery Mode loop and it is still in it (after 3 hours +). Also, iTunes doesn't detect the iPhone at all.
    I hope, the solution will be found, thanks.

    Any suggestions?

  • TS1441 How can I restore an iPod touch if the home button is broken and I don't know the password?

    I just bought my iPod Touch (4th Generation 8GB) from my friend and the home button doesn't work. Then, my parents took it away for about 6 months and I just got it back and I forgot my password. Then, I tried to get in too many times and now it says "iPod Disabled Connect to iTunes". Then, when I connect it to iTunes, it says for my to put in my password so it can connect. I've been trying to get back in but haven't found a way to restore it. HELP!!!!!
    P.S. It's jailbroken, but the damage isn't due to Cydia. Also, I can't put it into DFU mode since the home button is broken.

    Actually, I can give it to someone who fixes jailbroken iPod touch home buttons, but I don't want to pay anything. Also, if you just have something to say to me that will kill me, don't say it at all dude.

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller
    Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

    QuickTime Player is not itself able to do this. You need a proper DVD authoring solution such as Apple's iDVD.

    The newest version of itunes seems to be a little more difficult to do this than past versions. I plug in my iphone to my computer and it does not allow me to "drag" songs into my iphone option anymore. Help!
    The songs I am trying to get on my iphone are from CDs that I have purchased outside of the itunes store. Can I not put those on my iphone anymore?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Select the phone in the device list in iTunes, navigate to the music tab, check the music you want iTunes to sync with your phone, click the apply/sync button.
