How do I backup my iphone with a broken screen without unlocking it?

I broke the screen on my Iphone5 and have purchased a new Iphone6. I would like to update my backup from my old phone before syncing the new one. When I try to sync my 5 it says I need to unlock it with a passcode first but I cannot use my cracked screen to unlock it. Is there a way around unlocking so that I can backup?

  • Hi, I lost my computer. How can I sincronize my iphone with the new computer without loose my contacts and apps?

    Hi,

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to move everything to the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone:  File>Transfer Purchases
    If you enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer, then when you first sync you should get the option to merge the data.

    How do I backup my iPhone to a new pc without losing photos and apps and ringtones?
    My old pc is dead
    I am not concerned about music
    Help!!!!!
    When my phone was plugged in to new pc it gave a message that said I would lose all info on phone to current clean iTunes.

    Hello
    This is my first time on a community notice board such as this
    I'm stumped and hope someone can help
    My iphone just wont back up on my PC - and I've tried deleting the old backup on the Edit/Preferences tab in iTunes - in fact there is no backup for this device listed there at all.
    Without being able to backup, my iphone can't sync, so i can't get music onto it - which was one of the whole blessed points of the bloomin investment.
    Can you help?
    (Why am I so annoyed at this technology that does not work?)
    Cheers

  • How to locally backup multiple iPhones with different IDs

    Hi all, I have a simple need to backup 2 iPhones using different Apple IDs.  I understand that I can use iCloud to backup each on the cloud and no issue there.  But when I ran local backup for both on the same computer, here comes the problem...
    The 2 iPhones have some overlapping apps, but separately purchased on two accounts.  It seems that iTunes only keeps one copy of those overlapping apps, namely only the copy using the ID of the first phone in the sequence of backup.  So when I try to restore on the second phone, it will simply install those overlapping apps using the copy stored locally, which does not belong to the second ID.  This seems to create a lot of confusion later on when apps are updated, since the second user will be prompted to enter the password of the first ID.
    I suppose this kind of scenario is not uncommon.  Is there a way iTunes can properly deal with this?  Or did I not do the backup/restore correctly?

    Thanks, Lyssa.  I guess that probably will work, but feels like an overkill for a simple task.
    By the way, I am using iTunes on PC.  So the default path for media folder is C:\Users\USERNAME\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media, and the apps are stored in the Mobile Applications sub-folder under that path.  I wonder whether it will work to backup the first phone as usual first, change this path in the Advanced Preferences to another user created folder, and then backup the second phone.  During restore, I assume one can do the reverse and restore each phone while this path in preference is set accordingly.
    That's just an idea I have come to, inspired by your solution of changing user account... haven't tried it out yet.  I have to say, even that sounds like an inconvenient workaround.  Is there any more elegant method I wonder...?

  • How do i sync the iphone with a new computer without losing pictures?

    my laptop was stolen and i've recently replaced it. now when i try to sync my iphone with the new laptop, it gives me messages saying that it will replace what's on the iphone by whatever it currently has on the itunes library. i can't have this happen because i have several photos that were uploaded to my iphone via the old laptop. i'd like to find a way to download the pictures and then place them back in my itunes library for sync in the future. at the very least, just be able to download them off my iphone to back them up. please help!

    There is no way to get pictures off the phone or to move them from folders to the camera roll. The format on the phone is proprietary, so even if you could get them off you couldn't use them. Having said that, search the Internet; there are some apps that can access some files on the iPhone without hacking it. There may be one that can get the photos off. The only other option is to email them to yourself. This will reduce the resolution, however.
    I'm afraid you have pointed out the importance of frequent computer backups.

  • How do I Sync my iPhone with my new computer without losing all of my songs already on the iPhone?

  • How can I backup my iPhone with an unresponsive touchscreen?

    I dropped my iPhone and the screen didn't crack but the touch screen is no longer responsive and neither is my home button.  I tried to back it up on my macbook but to do that I must type in my passcode on my iPhone which isn't possible because of the unresponsive screen.

    It's too late for that. If you already had a sync relationship set up with your Mac (or a PC for that matter), then it wouldn't be asking for a passcode unless you had changed it since the last sync.  Now that the screen is unresponsive, there is no way to back it up to a computer. If it was set up to back up to iCloud, then you will hopefully have that to fall back on. If it was not, you're going to lose your data if the device has to be replaced or restored.

  • New PC: how can I sync my Iphone with a new PC without loosing data?

    I have an old Windows Vista PC with Itunes.
    I want to sync my iPhone4 with a new Windows 8 PC.
    I only sync music and video with the iphone and itunes, NOT email adress contacts, etc (I do not want to mix and mingle all my contacts on PC and phone).
    I DO want to take all the contacts to the new itunes.
    Problem: When I connect my iphone to the new Windows 8 PC with the new Itunes, I get the warning that "all the data on the iphone will be replaced with the data on the Itunes", in other words: the iphone will be empty
    Anyone any advice how to do this simple thing which is made super complex by Apple? Thanks.
    ( @ Apple: Apple engineers and Apple marketing should be ashamed that there is no simple way to do this, and there is no simple and clear information on the apple website for this !!!)

    Copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer,  to the new one.
    To what do you sync your contacts?  Icloud?  Other service?
    Problem: When I connect my iphone to the new Windows 8 PC with the new Itunes, I get the warning that "all the data on the iphone will be replaced with the data on the Itunes", in other words: the iphone will be empty
    Correct.  The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced. 
    It should be very simple.  Everything should be on your computer, or cloud service.  The itunes simply allows your information from your computer, cloud service to be protable.
    Copy everything to the new computer, then sync.

  • How do i sync my iphone with a new computer without losing all of my apps

    I bought a new macbook pro and want to sync my iphone and ipad with itunes on the new computer. I don't want to lose all of my apps (photos and music are already transfered). I am pretty sure that all of the apps that I have bought are in itunes, but I really don't want to risk losing anything when I sync.... especially all of my contacts! How do I avoid this?

    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • How do I restore a MBA with a broken screen if the display turns off during the restart?

    I have a MBA running OSx 10.7.5.  The monitor is broken; can't see anything.  I'm attempting to restore it completely, but every time I go to restart it, the VGA connected secondary display goes black.  Any ideas? Do I need to buy another cable or is there another way?

    You can go to Settings>General>Auto-Lock and switch it to "Never"
    Of course this will keep your screen active and never lock your phone, but it will be using battery more.
    You can still lock the phone yourself in the normal way (Hold the Sleep button)

    If you have music from other sources on your phone (e.g. copied from CDs) and you don't have them on a backup, then there are some program listed half-way down this page which might be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
