is there any way to restore factory settings on an Iphone 5s that will not connect to Itunes because the phone is locked with a pass code.  Problem is that the screen is completely shattered.

If the screen is completely shattered why bother to try and restore the phone?

    The following says how to restore from backup.

    If you go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices you can see if you have an iTunes backup. You need one dated before or the exact time you started the restore.

  • Is there any way to restore deleted text messages on iPhone 5?

    I accidentally deleted a string of text messages on my iphone 5 yesterday and was wondering if there is anyway to get them back.  I have the icloud back up on but have not used the backup through itunes.  Please let me know if any of you know if there is a way to get them back!
    Thank you!

    if you are certain that you have those text message in the icloud backup, then do this.
    Go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipe your phone clean, then when it boots back up, you'll have the option to restore from your icloud backup.  Your phone will restore to that backup, anything current you have will be erased.

  • IPad will not connect to iTunes without password, but screen inoperable

    After an attempted software update, the iPad will not connect to iTunes because it is password locked. But eh screen does not allow me to input the password. This is not a jailbroken iPad, but I did get a message on it that my "iPhone cannot send or receive calls without resetting."  This is why I tried to sync, etc.

    Try recovery mode.

  • I have an iPad screen that won't swipe.  I cannot connect it to Itunes because it's locked with a pass code which I can't enter because I can't swipe.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    I have a 16GM Mini IPad.  The screen won't swipe.  I tried resetting it but that didn't work.  I attempted to connect to ITunes to try a restore but I can't do that.  This is because the IPad is locked with a pass code which I can't enter because I can't swipe.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

    If Ralph's suggestion doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Is there any way to restore the 'Open New Tab' option in the tab bar drop-down menu?

    After years of using tabbed browsing in Firefox, I've long-since gotten used to right-clicking the tab bar, and selecting the top menu item 'Open New Tab'. So much so that it has become reflexive. Now with v4, when I perform the same action, it now just reloads the current page. Is there ANY way to restore the option to the pull-down menu? I don't wanna have to move my pointer all the way to the other side of the screen just to open a new tab... (T_T)

    Hello, I suffered from a similar problem with the new search bar type. I've found that you can go into '''about:config''', then search for '''browser.search.showOneOffButtons''' boolean and toggle that. This should restore the old functionality. (You might need to restart your browser)
    Note that, like always, edit your '''about:config''' at your own risk.

  • Is there any way to restore my iPod if iTunes won't recognize it?

    I bought my husband a 30 gig ipod for Christmas and gave it to him early. Last night I bought and installed a video converter so that he could watch movies on the ipod. This morning when he updated the device with a new video and tried to play it, the screen turned green with little black squares. Itunes does not recognize that the ipod is connected to the computer and I can't turn the ipod off. Is there any way to restore the ipod if Itunes won't recognize it?

    Try this, hold the middle button and the menu button for 10 seconds while it is plugged into the computer. See if it will come back to life. You may have to try this several times. Give it a try.

  • All of my contacts were deleted for no reason. Is there any way to restore them?

    I powered down my iPhone 4S because an app was bugging out. When I powered it back up, all of my contacts had been deleted. When I tried to see my contact list it told me there were "No Contacts" on this phone. In the "messages" app, each conversation is now paired with a phone-number and not each contact's name.
    I did not have my contacts sync'd to my iTunes, or iCloud, or any other storage system.
    Interestingly, when I do a "left-swipe search", and type in a contact's name e.g. Joe Smith, my phone is able to show me which text-message conversations were with Joe Smith, and other information about this contact. But that's the only memory my phone has of its lost contacts.
    Is there any way to restore lost contacts without external storage / syncing ??
    Thanks

    I think those contacts still in iphone database. So you can back up you iphone with itunes to get iphone database off your iphone. Then access the SQLite batabse.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    All data included with the backup is stored in a SQLite database format with the data within various folders not easily accessible.There are some 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting select data from an iPhone's backup and iphone database such as this one.

  • The data fields in a filled-out PDF form disappeared after a crash.  Is there any way to restore the lost entries?

    Adobe Reader crashed while I had a filled-out Adobe PDF form open.  When I reopened the file, I found that all of the data that had been entered into the form fields had disappeared.  Is there any way to restore the data that is missing?
    I note that the "Restore" command in the Adobe Reader file menu is not available (grayed out).
