HT5824 Trying to back up my iPhone that has a shattered screen.  But it is requiring me to enter the passcode on the phone itself because the phone is locked.  That is impossible.  Any suggestions on getting around that so I can back up my data?

Trying to back up iPhone because phone has a shattered screen.  But it is requiring a passcode before I can back it up and the passcode has to be entered on the phone itself, which is impossible due to shattered screen.  Any suggestions on a way to get around this?

If you never synced with iTunes since setting the passcode on it, you won't be able to back up to your computer without entering the passcode first.  You can't get around this.  This requirement is for your own safety, as it keeps someone who steals you phone from being able to back up your data to their computer without knowing your passcode.

    It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.

  • Hi. I'm trying to upgrade my 3G iPad 1 software from 3.2.2 to 5.0.1. iTunes tells me to upgrade. It then backs up my iPad Ok but it won't 'restore'. Thus the upgrade fails. Does anyone have any suggestions please?

  • IPhone 4 has a black screen but the backlight lights up

    So my friend was holding onto my phone for me and he dropped it. Now the screen is black, but the backlight will light up when you hit the unlock button, the home button or receive an alert. The sound works perfectly fine, and voice control works when trying to call someone, but i wont be able to hang up. also when plugging it into an idock and pressing play on the dock it will work. I took the phone apart and put it back together to make sure everything was hooked up right, but it still wont work. anyone know what could be wrong possibly? i dont want to spend money on a new screen if i dont have to. Thank you!

        Hi JKainer193,
    Broken phones are no good. It's important to have a properly working phone at all times. I see that you have performed some great troubleshooting. I want to help. Did you have insurance on the line http://bit.ly/xB4iTc ? Typically, when the screen has gone black, and powercycling the phone doest not work, then the device would need to be replaced. Keep me posted.
    Thanks,

  • My Mac is a 21.5-inch Late 2009 with a 1 TB Seagate HD that must be replaced, according to Apple support, but they denied me that right because the serial is not part of the replacement program: any suggestions to get a plausible solution to this problem?

    My Mac is a 21.5-inch Late 2009 with a 1 TB Seagate HD that must be replaced, according to Apple support Panama, but they denied me that right because the serial is not part of the replacement program: any suggestions to get a plausible solution to this problem?
    I would want to know what are the criteria used by the people al espresslane support to deny the opportunity presented by the replacement program, given the situation that these 1 TB Seagate HD´s have had problems and certainly not only in the batch they accepted, but probable in other batches too.
    The second question is about the powerpc support that is lost when updating from Snow Leopard to Lion X: I can not read my medical application UPTODATE.
    I hope that there wil be some kind of support to help me solve that problem, this is my first petition actually.
    Now, I do not have access to my yahoo email, intermitent access to Apple home page, unpredictable access to Apple store and no access to iCloud in my iMac: when I try to access these web sites, the blue web address bar is interrupted and never goes to the end, no filling up the whole bar.
    I do not know what is the first problem, the Seagate HD or the Lion X, but my life is becoming a miserable one, not having the opportunity to enter in the raplacement program, losing the powerpc support because of the updating to Lion X, the necessity to buy Lion X again because it used to appear as a paid program, but not anymore, and finally having no access to my yahoo email, Apple home website and Apple store and no access at all to the iCloud: I am done.
    Chao, Elías.

    You can have Apple or a competent service shop replace the internal HD for a fee, unless you have AppleCare and the iMac is within its warranty period in which case it will cost nothing. If you must pay the cost will be approximately $350 US.
    PowerPC support is gone with Lion. You can install or retain Snow Leopard on another partition, and boot Snow Leopard as necessary.
    The inability to load web pages is a different problem, unless it is related to your failing hard disk.

    when i try to make an itunes account it i cant find "none" by payemnt method and i dont have a credit card. any way to get around that?

    Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    If created the account (e.g. you're not in the process of creating it and are stuck on the payment screen) and you are being prompted to review it then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you reviewit without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
    If not then you will need to create a new account, and follow the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it. If you want to use the same email address then you will need to replace it on that account first e.g. by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have a problem with my iPhone 4s.  An Apple rep looked at the phone today and determined the phone will have to be replaced.  I am trying to back up my data on the phone to iTunes but I cannot get the phone to power up.

    I have a problem with my iPhone 4s.  An Apple rep looked at the phone tonight and determined I will need a new phone.  I am now trying to back up my data to iTunes but I cannot get the phone to turn on.  I have it plugged into my computer monitor but it just slowly flashes the Apple symbol. Any ideas on how I can get it to power up for the backup?

    Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

  • My 5 year old iPod classic will not play on my Yamaha CRX-332 cd receiver but my 3 year old iPhone 3g will.  Any suggestions to get my iPod to read the receiver or get the receiver to read the iPod?

    My 5 year old iPod classic will not play on my Yamaha CRX-332 cd receiver but my 3 year old iPhone 3g will.  Any suggestions to get my iPod to read the receiver or get the receiver to read the iPod?  The receiver should be able to play the iPod with a USB connection or with the iPod dock.  Neither works with my iPod however both work with my iPhone 3g.  The iPod has the latest software.  Any thoughts?

    If it is a 5-year old iPod, there is the possibility that the receiver simply won't work with the older software (there hasn't been an iPod Classic software update in years). You might try contacting Yamaha support (or doing a google search) to see if it is a known issue. One solution (probably the easiest) is to get a cable that connects a min jack (i.e., a headphone jack) to stereo cables, and just connect the iPod up that way. You eliminate the risk of corrupting the iPod, and it is a solution that should always work. Just use a wall charger to power the iPod.

    Developers sometimes remove (or are forced to remove) their apps from the store. If you have it on your iPad, and it's compatible with the iPhone, then you can copy it to your computer's iTunes from the iPad via File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync it to the iPhone.
