How to recover my iPhone 6 from disabled without losing my data as the backup in my iTunes is old and not updated.

Hi,
I have iPhone 6 and the after the screen has broken the phone was starting to enter random passcode from itself until its locked and disabled. I have replaced the screen with a new one and I need to make a backup of my data in the phone and not reset or restore from the phone backup in my iTunes as it's old and not updated. Kindly advise me how to make this task as I have important data I need to not lose.
Best regards,

You cannot now. The only way to reset the passcode and remove the disabled status is to restore the device. There is no way to make a new backup now. That is actually the whole point of the passcode attempt limitation and the disabling of the device - to keep someone without the passcode from getting at your data. Once disabled, your sole single recourse is to restore it in order to be able to do anything with it.
At this point you can restore from your existing backup, or as new. Either way, you've already lost the current data on the device.

I had the same problem. My phone wasn't finding it so I tried plugging it into my laptop and it said I needed the latest iTunes which I already had.... I unplugged my phone from my laptop and did a soft reset to my phone (hold down the lock button and home button at the same time until your phone turns off) once it turns back on you should find the update... Click general... Software update. Worked for me!

3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. iOS- Understanding passcodes

iPad,iPod,iPod Touch Recovery Mode
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

How do I sync iPhone to new Macbook without losing data?

Been searching the internet for several weeks now, and haven't managed to find anything that helps, so here's the deal: I've had an iPhone 4 for a bout a year or so now, and I just got a new Macbook Pro a few weeks ago. I had previously been syncing my iPhone to a shared computer, so obviously I couldn't just set up my new computer using the data of the old one. I wasn't too concerned about this, until I discovered that I couldn't sync my iPhone to the new computer without losing all of the data on it! So I'm trying to figure out how I can save my iPhone's data in such a way that I can restore it upon syncing to the new computer. To clarify, I don't need to save all of the data—I've already gotten my purchases and music transferred over, and I'm in the process of transferring my contacts and notes over, but I have no way of saving the other data. Most of it is superfluous, such as call records or web history—but I do care about game data and iMessage data. So it comes down to this: I need a way to be able to store save files for all my games AND all of the text messages in my iMessage app. I've seen lots of people recommend various file transfer programs, which I assume work for game data, but as far as I've been able to tell from the demos versions, all they'll do for iMessage is export conversations as pdf or text files. I'm not looking to save a hard copy of my text messages, I want to be able to upload them to my iPhone again as text messages (both sent and received). In other words, I'd like my phone to be pretty much exactly the same after syncing it as it is now. At least, as far as the iMessage/game apps are concerned. Maybe I didn't know how to use the file transfer programs, maybe I didn't download the right one, maybe there's another way to do it, I don't know. If anyone can help me solve this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
BTW, My iPhone is running iOS 7.1.2, my Macbook is running OSX 10.9.4. Also, I do still have access to the computer my iPhone is currently synced to, as well as an iPod Touch 4 that's also got most of the data I want on it, if that will help at all.

So, just in case anyone with the same problem happens to run into this post, I managed to find a solution to this problem. There's a $35 program called iBackupbot, which works for both Windows and Macintosh. It's basically an iTunes backup service, except that it functions independently. You can also do partial restores with the program. Anyway, it's a very useful program, and it can sync data from one device synced to one computer to another device synced to another computer (or to a restored device synced to a new computer). If you're willing to shell out $35 for the program, here are the steps to restore your iPhone's data:
Transfer all of your purchases from your old computer to your new computer, including music and videos. This program is good, but it only syncs data files, so music and apps cannot be synced over (that I can tell).
Download and register iBackupbot on your NEW computer (http://www.icopybot.com/buy.htm)
Plug in your iPhone
When you iPhone appears in iBackupbot, click on its name and then click 'backup now' on the information screen. It will take at least five minutes.Once the backup is complete, you might want to test it out. I'd recommend deleting a few pictures or messages, and then restoring from a backup, to ensure that the backup worked properly.
Quit iBackupbot. (It's a good program, but I've noticed that it's kind of glitchy, and it works best on the first action of each session)
Wipe your iPhone and set it up as a new one. Make sure you link it to the same Apple ID that your new computer is associated with.
Once your iPhone has been set up, sync it to your new computer and re-download all of your music, apps, and other purchases.
Change your iPhone's name (this is to check and make sure that iBackupbot recognizes your iPhone)
Reopen iBackupbot, and click on your iPhone's name when it appears.
Right-click the name and select 'restore from backup.'
Leave the settings alone, and check 'full restore'
This will take quite a while, and your iPhone will probably be glitchy when the restore is finished. Quit iBackupbot again, and then power your iPhone off and then back on.
Check all of your apps (including the system apps) to make sure that all of your desired data has been put back on your iPhone.For me, out of about 70 downloaded apps, 4 did not have any data when I had finished the restore. If this is the case, you can can try another full restore or do a partial restore this time, selecting only the apps that did not have data.
Once you're satisfied that your iPhone has all of the data you want, sync it to you computer to make sure that it will still sync to your new computer (you never know)
Change your iPhone's name to what you want it to be, then reopen iBackupbot.
Do a final backup of your iPhone in iBackupbot.
Sync your iPhone with your new computer one last time, and do a backup of it using iTunes.
You're done!
I hope this helps. Good luck to anyone who decides to try this method!

How do I export 72ppi jpegs from InDesign without losing quality?

I need to export indesign files that I design to 72ppi for web without losing any quality (or as minimal as possible). Countless times I have tried different methods, but alwasy manage to create a workaround, whether it be good quality, or just readable text. ITs really the small text I have the problem with. I explain in the below video my problem in further detail. But basically, I have tried many things such as pasted from indesign to photoshop, exporting to 300ppi jpeg and resizing in photoshop, exporting to 72ppi jpeg and viewing (not good at all), exporting as PDF, opening in photoshop ticking anti alias and inputting my dimensions... how can I get this to work?? Someone please help.. I have battled this problem for to long and my boss is getting annoyed with it. We need to fix this.
Many people say to export to PDF and then open in photoshop and save as a jpeg from there.. but how can i export a PDF to 72ppi?? Please Adobe fix this issue in future editions of InDesign. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help
Here is a link to the video if yu can't view it below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uqsGnhT3gY&feature=youtu.be

You have it backwards. You export a PDF, and when you open it in Photoshop, that's when you pick the resolution. Any text in the PDF will likely be vector data, and it will be changed into bitmap data at the resolution you choose. I'll give you an example:
I placed a 300ppi image (5.7MB Photoshop tiff) into an InDesign page with three captions (12pt, 9pt and 6pt). I exported the page as two different PDFs. One was set to High Quality Print (a1) and the other to Smallest File Size (a2). A1 came in at 446KB and a2 came in at 37KB. When opened in Photoshop, I picked 72ppi as the resolution, flattened and saved as an RGB Jpeg without color profile and quality setting of 12.
The a1 jpeg was 180kb in size and a2 was 156kb, so not too far apart, considering the difference in file size between the PDF versions. If you open the jpegs in Photoshop, you will see that the size of the letter F at the beginning of the 12pt caption is nine pixels high in each, so if the problem you are having is that small text isn't readable, maybe the text is just too small to be readable at 72ppi.

How do I switch to iMap from POP3 without losing everything?

I now use 2 Macs, 2 OSes, SL & ML on separate hard drives and also have an iPod Touch.
Checking the large amount of mail I get has become a real chore, so I would like to switch to iMap from POP3 but want:
1. To archive all my mail first (just in case)
2. Make the change without losing anything
3. Sync it with my iPod Touch (may be tricky with the SL HDD).
Any tips?
Thanks,
Peter

How do I migrate to a new mac without losing application data

I've got an older iMac and have recently purchased a new macbook pro. I have an iphone and an ipad that I would prefer to start syncing with my new macbook but when I connect it, it warns me that it's going to wipe out my iphone first. I've already gone through and moved all my music, books, media & apps to my new macbook. I know I can go through the process of wiping out my iphone and then reset up again but apart from that painful excercise, the biggest issue is the app data will be lost. I've been checking the internet for a solution and everyone seems to have a different way of going about it but they don't seem to work. I also checked in the apple communities but I don't see any answers there either for this specific question.
Does anyone know the best way to handle this?

The best thing to do is to move all of your important data, including your iTunes library, from your old computer to your new computer. If you don't want to do that, follow the instructions here:
By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from her phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are replacing your computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on her own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, or copy them from your old computer, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in itunes.
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book, iCal) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect her phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding her contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
You should be good to go.

HT1766 I am trying to restore a new replacement phone from an icloud backup but it is telling me there is a problem with backup data. The backup was done under 7.1 and I think the new phone still just has 7.04. My itunes backup was lost last week...sugges

I am trying to restore from icloud but it appears the 7.1 it was backed up in and the 7.04 on the new phone won't allow it. My itunes library was lost last week due to computer crashing and having to be restored. I have a clean very current icloud back up done on March 21st but I cant seem to get it there. Suggestions please?

You will have to update the iPhone to iOS 7.1 if that is the iOS the backup was done in. You cannot restore a newer iOS update to a phone with older iOS. Once you update the phone, you will be able to restore the backup.

My itunes will not import songs from a cd. When i put the cd in usually itunes recognizes it and starts importing them but now it doesn't do anything. How can i get it to import cds again?!

please help

See if it will import a CD using Windows Media Player.
That will tell us if it is a system problem with the whole PC, or just a problem with itunes.

How can I get my YouTube app back without losing my data?

So I just got the iOS 6 update for my iPad 2. After the downloading was done I wanted to look something up on YouTube. But when I went to look the app was gone. I couldn't find it in the search or anything. Can someone help me get it back?

It might but like all iPhone apps on the iPad. It will come in small in which case I would have to enlarge it and if you enlarge it the picture gets more blurred. Do you have a better idea? No disrespect intended

How do I safely Reboot my Macbook Pro without losing my data?

Is it possible to reebot your computer without getting rid of all your data?
If it is how?
I have been on youtube and other forums but they all reset your computer to default.
I am using a MacBook Pro 13" with the new Mavricks Update.

Do you want to reboot your computer? Or do you want to reset to factory setting?
If you want to reboot follow nbar's advice.
If you want to reset to factory settings, you will need to do one (or both) of two things. You can buy an external hard drive and copy your files/photos/movies...etc onto the drive. Or you can subsribe to a cloud service like Apple's iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, or Microsoft's Skydrive. Chances are you will need more than the typcial 5 gb of free space. To be extra safe with your data, you could do both.
Once you do that, you can reset your mac. After you go throught the set up process, you can transfer your data back.
Hope this helped!

Rebuild Library from Scratch without losing what I bought

How can I rebuild my library from scratch without losing what I have already bought? I recently upgraded my system drive to a 1TB drive and all the drive letters changed. I had moved my library off of the system drive and I do not remember what the drive letter was. I have all the files just want to rebuild and resysnc. I have XP Pro and a lot of files prior to Itunes opening up to all mp3 devices.

Welcome to AD!
If you have an older iTunesLibrary.XML file, you can open it using WordPad. It might refresh your memory on what drive letter was being used.
