HT1212 how do i backup a disabled iphone

My daughter forgot her passcode for her iphone.  how do I backup a disabled iphone so the data can be saved before I restore it to factory settings?

Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

  • HT1212 how do i restore a disabled iphone 4s cause its locked now and itunes wont sync up to it

    how do i fix or restore a disabled iphone 4s thats locked due to someone putting in the wrong passcode to many times

    Hi, moviekid826.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    This is normal behavior as a device will remove itself from recovery mode after 15 minutes.  I would recommend processing the steps in the article below.  Once this is done, disconnect the device and allow the iOS to download.  After the iOS completes the download process these steps again.  
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • How can i reset my disabled iphone to factory setting without itunes?

    how can i reset my disabled iphone to factory setting without itunes?

    When you made the backup, you may have told it to encrypt the backup so that you can recover iPhone to factory settings successfully.

    Therefore I used the normal iTunes backup and restore found under the Summary tab in iTunes. If your data is still on the other phone, back it up again with iTunes. To use iTunes you have to start it, connect your phone to the computer with a cable, then select the iPhone button near the top right corner of the screen. Be sure not to check the encrypt button.

  • HT201328 How do I unlock a disabled iphone?

    How do I unlock a disabled iphone?

    The article I linked specifically says "iPhone is disabled".  And there is a reference to 'lock' on that page, at the bottom:
    Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
    There's even a picture.
    Also, that article links to another article about Using Passcodes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4113
    Which refers to a 'lock' and' 'unlock' multiple times.
    Or, hey, that article has a link to Find My iPhone overview... which ALSO refers to 'locking' an iPhone: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2696
    Use Lost Mode to lock and track your device
    Oh, and THAT article also links to Activation Lock: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695   which also has a lot of references to 'lock'.  Heh, it's even in the TITLE.
    Are you going to keep trying to say that "The ONLY time you 'unlock' a phone is with a carrier."?
    You are wrong.  That is not the only time you 'unlock' an iPhone.
    The OP asked: "How do I unlock a disabled iphone?"
    A phone locked to a carrier is not disabled.  It can be used with that carrier.
    Unlocking a disabled iPhone refers to when the passcode has been entered too many times.
    There is a passcode lock function for iPhones.
    To unlock an iPhone that is passcode locked, you need to enter the passcode.
    Enter the passcode incorrectly too many times, and it becomes disabled.
    The only thing about the OP's post that even suggests this is an issue about carrier unlocking is the article he linked from, which is most likely explained because he seached for 'unlock iphone'.  First Google result is the article he linked from.
    But a carrier locked phone is not DISABLED.  You are ignoring that part of the OP's post, and focusing on the word 'unlock', which has multiple meanings.
    The most likely issue is a passcode lock on the phone, which was entered incorrectly too many times, and thus, the iPhone is disabled.
    Just  like the OP said: "How do I unlock a disabled iphone?"
    Being 'locked' to a carrier has NOTHING to do with an iPhone being disabled.  Restricted to use on that particular carrier?  Yes.  Disabled?  No.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    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.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    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.

    Hi.

    I have 2 computer and don't remember which one was that i synced it with,on one of them i had hard drive which crashed so i installed new one, so basically when i am connecting to iTunes on both computer it says "enter your pass code before connecting to iTunes" but on the phone there is no keypad to enter pass code, it says only "iPhone is disabled connect to iTunes"
    i have all paperworks and proof that phone and phone number belongs to me.
    So far nothing works.
    1.  I tried iFaith to dump SHSH blobs, but later found out that building IPSW is only for restoring, that it will not retrieve my data.
    2. I tried iPhone Browser but it doesn't see my device
    3. i did not try this yet, not sure how to do this

  • HT201269 How can I backup to store iphone on an external hard disk drive?

    I tried to backup my iphone, my pc did not have the storage, and I don't know how to find the select for external HDD. I dont know if this is possible to backup to external drive. I lost some of my phone contacts and now the contact list is in some alphabetical order that I find difficult to read.
    Can you tell me how to?
    I have Itunes program saved on my laptop but there is not enough storage space available to backup all my iphone info to the laptop, that is why I want to direct the storage onto the HDD.
    Do I need to download Itunes again and select save to my HDD to get the extra space?

    You just have to find the backup file on your computer and moveor copy  the file to where you want it but remember if you want to restore from that backup itunes needs to be able to find it so you will need to make sure it is in its orginal location

  • How do I backup information from iphone to my PC

    How do I backup my notes on my iphone to my PC

    I know exactly what you're going through. I may win the prize for having the most number of photos on my iPhone (2,397) that couldn't get downloaded. I have never been able to export photos from my iPhone to any of my Macs using iPhoto or Image Capture. (And yes, all OS and apps are the latest revisions). Nor have any of the popular apps like Picasa2, Adobe Photoshop Elements, or Windows native Camera & Scanner Wizard been able to do it on my Windows machines. BUT, the only 3rd party app that I had any success with was the Tansee iPhone Transfer Photo program. It downloaded 884 photos from my iPhone before that app stopped working, for some reason. It cost $20USD and works on Windows only. You may have better luck than I downloading all your photos.
