HT4528 please help me!!! how do i unlock my iphone if my screen is shattered?

i'm trying to back up my iphone 4s to my laptop, but it will not let me unless i unlock it. but my screen is completely shattered. i can't see anything. i need help asap! pleaase! how do i unlock my phone? can i do it from my ipad? HELP.

Cant erase without turning off "Find My iPad".
Yes you can.  Sign into your iCloud account in icloud.com with a computer, click Find my iPhone, click All Devices at top, select your iPad, then select "Erase iPad."  You also can do this with another iOS device using the Find My iPhone app.
Can I request an iTunes feature
No, you can't request any new features in this forum.  This is a user-to-user tech support forum.  Apple doesn't read these posts and feature requests are prohibed.  To suggest something to Apple post it here:
Apple - iPhone - Feedback
You already can restore the phone without a passcode by puttiing the phone into recovery mode as described here:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

    please help me how to fix error 53 iphone 6 ios 8.1 when update iphone 6

    Hey there fcaride,
    It sounds like you are unable to finish restoring with iTunes due to this error -1 message. Usually that is associated with security software. Use the steps from the following article to help with that:
    Get help with iOS update and restore errors
    Related errors: 1, 3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
    These errors mean that your device or computer might have a hardware issue that stops the update or restore from completing.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't blocking your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Make sure that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    If the issue persists, I would next use the last section of the following article titled "If your device turns on but gets stuck during start up"
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

    From the article which you posted your question from:
    Errors related to downgrading iOS
    The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed.   Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

  • How do I unlock my Iphone 3G as screen reads disabled, connect to iTunes?

    Hello - - -
    I had not used my iphone 3g for a number of months since I purchased another cell phone. I forgot the passcode and after numerous attempts, ll I have on te srenn is "iPhone is disabled - Connect to iTunes"  
    I have attempted to find the icon and features needed on iTunes to no avail. Help.
    I have lots of photos, video, etc I would like to retrieve from this old iPhone.
    Thanks.

    Once the iPhone displays the "iPhone is disabled" message, you have to restore it to factory settings to clear it.  There is no way to recover anything that is on the phone.  If you have a prior backup stored in iTunes, you could use that.

  • HT201401 My iPhone is not turning on since I last saw it it was charged and now it's not working not even with a charger. Please help me how I can reopen it

    Try a reset.
    Hold the lock/power button and the home button at the same time until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    No data will be lost.
    Let us know if that has any effect.

    I bought a used iphone from a friend and I am not able to use it in Ethiopia. It is carrier blocked. Can you please help how could I unlock my iphone 4?.

    Unlikely as you do not meet there requirements for unlocking.
    Have your friend the provided the phone contact them.  Based on your statements I am concluding he was or still is an AT&T customer, that is one of the requirements of getting the device unlocked.

    If you had already removed the device from 'Find My iPhone' in iCloud, then you jus tneed to powercycle the device in order to activate it.
    Source: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
    "After the device is removed from the previous owner’s account, turn the device off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button located on the top-right side of the device. Then restart your device and proceed with device setup as you would normally."
    If it has not been removed, then the activation lock is still active.
    If the previous owner cannot remove the device from their account there is nothing you can do unless the place you purchased it from will give you a refund.
    Activation Lock: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5818
    What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
    Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. For complete instructions, read how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.
    How do I check for Activation Lock before purchasing a used device?
    When purchasing an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it is up to you to ensure that the device has been erased and is no longer linked to the previous owner’s account.
    Follow each of these steps to make sure that you can use the device you purchase:
    Turn the device on and slide to unlock.If the passcode lock screen or the home screen appears, the device has not been erased. Ask the seller to completely erase the device by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been erased.
    Begin the device setup process.After choosing a language, choosing a country, and connecting to a network, the device will begin activation. If you are asked for the previous owner’s Apple ID and password, the device is still linked to their account. Hand the device back to the seller and ask them to enter their password. If the previous owner is not present, they can remove the device from their account by signing in to icloud.com/find. Do not take ownership of any used iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until it has been removed from the previous owner’s account.
    You will know that a device is ready for you to use when you are asked to “Set up your iPhone", “Set up your iPad", or “Set up your iPod” during the device setup process.

  • HT4061 how can i unlock my iphone 4s because i forgot my password and dont rember my e-mail adress either please help me

    how can i unlock my iphone 4s because i forgot my password and dont know the e-mail that i used wen i bought it please help me

    See this http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212, but if that doesn't help, the only other way to get past this is to restore the phone on the computer you normally sync with to your latest backup. This will remove the passcode.

    What do you mean, "is it unlocked"? If your iPod has a screen lock set, it will be obvious from the iPod's screen. For issues with the iPod not appearing in iTunes, start which these troubleshooting steps:
