How can I reset my iPhone 4 with a broken lock button?

The screen on my iPhone 4 went black but all the sonds are still working. I know resetting the phone would fix it, but my lock button is broken. Is there another way to reset my phone? I have a MacBook Air, so I'm sure there's a way to do it through that, I'm just not sure how. Help please!!!

  • How can I restore my iPhone 4S with a broken lock button and with a passcode

    I have tried restoring the phone by trying to let the battery drain and by plugging it in and holding the home button but that did not work. I also tried using RecBoot but kept getting an error message. The iPhone has a passcode and a broken sleep/wake button so I cannot put it into recovery mode. The holding of the home button method was given to me by Apple (called them). It is running iOS 5.1.1 if it makes any difference. Please help!!

  • Can I replace an iPhone 5 with a defective lock button and a crack in the screen?

    I have an iPhone 5 with a defective lock button. It doesn't work at all anymore and I'm debating going into an Apple Store to get it replaced. But I also have a small crack in the corner. Will that crack keep me from making the exchange?

    If apple determines that the damage to the phone was accidental then they may not help.  I suggest you make an appointment at an apple store and have them evaluate it.  That is the only way you will find out if they will replace it for you

  • How can I reset an iPhone 5s with an active iCloud account?

    Hi Team, I work for a mobile company. I have an iPhone 5s that was returned by a client, which an employee didn't do a full wipe on the time of return.  We are trying to resell the phone as an open item. We have tried to reset and restore the phone through the settings but it asks for the password for the apple id which we don't have since the customer is no longer in the store. I have tried different things, I did a normal hard reset by holding the sleep and home button and connecting to iTunes, which it does restore yet but doesn't wipe out the apple id. We still get the apple id on the iPhone 5 due to the find me app that protects your phone from theft. Is there any way to do a hard reset on the iPhone 5 with iOS 8 and do a full wipe without apple id password?

    Apple has a procedure that authorized resellers can use to reset Activation Lock. It requires completing a web form, getting management approvals, and submitting it to Apple. Contact your Apple liaison manager.

  • How do I turn off my phone with a broken lock button and screen doesn't work?

    my lock button broke a few months ago and I've been getting along fine without it due to assistive touch. Now, my screen won't work at all.. I can't slide it to open it, can't slide to power off .. only thing I can do is slide down the today thing at the top and slide it back up .. I can get siri to bring me to my password screen but I can't type it in .. any ideas on how to turn off or restart my phone seeing as I can't slide to power off? This happened over night so my phone is at 94% as of right now and I don't want to wait for it to die because that will take forever ..

    Honestly the hard really right now to say what you can do. How long have you had the device? If it's under a year you can take it to apple store and they can switch it out for free. If it's over a year then it would be at a paid cost cause they can't fix that issue.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT201401 How can i reset my iphone if the Sleep/Wake button does not work?

    My camera shuts off every time that I try to take a picture. I would like to reset my IPhone in order to try and solve the problem. My Sleep/Wake button does not work.
    How can I reset my IPhone without the Sleep/Wake Button working?
    Thanks for the help.

    When pressing the sheep/wake button, the iPhone's screen is not turned off if on and does not turn on if off, and pressing and holding the sleep/wake or on/off button does not bring up slide to power off?
    And you can't do a reset by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?
    If so and there is no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes, make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby since more than likely there is a hardware problem.

  • HT1212 How can i reset my iphone 4s if i forgot my restriction passcode and apple id password and security question answer

    Hello guys..
    How can i reset my iphone 4s IF i forgot my restriction passcode, and apple id password AND security question answer?..
    AND I also forgot the email that i used to create the apple id.. Thats why i cant reset my password using the "email authentication"...
    PLEASE HELP.. Thanks... I cant use my iphone properly.. im stock with my OLD Apple id..

    Its simple - if you honestly cannot remember a single piece of security information associated with the account, or even the name of the AppleID itself, the only possability of help is to call Apple and ask them if there is anything they can do.  There is nothing anyone here or elsewhere can possible do to help you.
    Apple offers several means of ensuring you can recover an account or AppleID, but if you cannot remember a single one of those security features, then only Apple can, if at all possible, help you and only then if you pick up a telephone and talk to them.
    The strong odds are that even Apple will not help you.  I know that with the two step verification option, if you cannot at least remember two of the three security features used with that system, they will tell you the account is simply lost to your for good.  They can only be help responsible for helping you recover information up to a point - at some point, it all comes down to you remebering at least some of your own information.

    First, i want to know how can i pair my iPhone 5 with my lenovo laptop? and second i want to extend my warranty under apple care in india. how can i do that??

    There are many apps in the App Store for transferring files between a computer and an iPhone using a cable, WiFi, or a cloud connection. Box and Dropbox cloud services are the easiest to use; I use Dropbox routinely to transfer business documents to our offices around the world.
    Evernote is another widely used cloud service.
    For local WiFi transfers there's Documents to Go, Airsharing, QuickOffice, and several dozen more. Documents to Go and QuickOffice also let you edit MS Word documents on the iPhone.

    how can i reset my iphone without update to ios 7.0.6

    You can wipe the device without updating:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    I would be remiss not to mention that iOS 7.0.6 patches a security flaw.
    If you choose not to update, your device will be at risk.
