I have iphone 6 plus i forgot my passcode and i never backed up my device, i just want a way to restore my iphone without losing my contacts?

Sorry but Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support covers all of the methods. Any chance that you had it set to automatically back up to iCloud and/or sync contacts to iCloud?
You can check on whether the contacts were synced by logging in to https://www.icloud.com/ and looking at the Contacts app there.
The "Delete Backups and turn off backups from your device" in the following link describes how you can use a computer to see if there is an iCloud backup of your phone. Follow those instructions to the point of seeing if the backup is listed but obviously you don't follow the rest of the instructions on how to delete. Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support

Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Restore your phone and set it up from scratch.

How do you unlock your iphone if you forgot your passcode and blocked it?

I have overguessed my passcode and now cant get on my phone?

I offered you help which included much more than just saying you're fishy, and I said this sounds fishy and it certainly does with or without your so called "facts", which certainly can't be proven based on what you say alone.
If you use the same computer that has been used for syncing with your iPhone, it shouldn't make any difference that you changed the passcode out of the blue last night that can' be remembered.
If not, you must place the iPhone into recovery mode. If successful, this will required restoring your iPhone with iTunes. If done on a computer not used for syncing your iPhone, you won't be able to restore from the backup, none of the photos on your iPhone that were transferred from the computer used for syncing your iPhone will be available, your contacts will not be available unless you are accessing an email account that includes over the air syncing for contacts, and none of your iTunes content will be available to be re-transferred to your iPhone - no music, movies, tv shows, or apps.

Synching. In the past I have synched my iPhone and ipad to my iMac. I would like to now synch my iPhone and ipad to a macbook pro. What is the best way to make that change without losing something ? To stop synching to the seldom used iMac.

My dumb question. I have been synching iphone and ipad to imac. I want to start syncing those devices to my mac book as I use that primarily and the imac seldom. I do use Time machine and have backups but was concerned I might create a problem for myself if I didn't check the right box somewhere. I imagine there is a simple simple way to do this ?

You have 90 days of free AppleCare on all new Macs, and if you purchased AppleCare (STRONGLY RECOMMENDED) you also have 3 years of telelphone support. I'd recommend calling AppleCare to to support your MBP.

If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
Otherwise you need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection. A PC is fine.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
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.

Hey salosawaya,
If you have never synced your device with iTunes and you forgot your passcode, you'll follow these directions:
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

Without iTunes on a computer there is nothing that you can do. If you are locked out because you forgot the passcode your only solution is to restore the iPad using iTunes on a computer.
I don't know exactly want you mean by it is not responding - does that mean that it will not power up again?

You can't. If there was a way to get into the phone and backup data without a passcode, what would be the purpose of the passcode?
Either think harder, or prepare to lose all your data.
