Ipad mini with broken digitizer - can it be backed up if passcode cannot be entered?

Hello,
I'm not sure if i entered the right category, I have searched around for questions similar to this but have not been able to find a thread that answers my question. My ipad mini is 1st generation, 4G compatible, 16gb. iOS 7 (as specific as i can get).
I dropped the iPad which shattered the digitizer which means I am unable to to type in the passcode in order to back it up on iTunes. The screen was left undamaged. I have a backup from a week or two before it was dropped but I want to be able to retrieve the photos and garageband files that were made past that point. I am wondering if there is any way of backing up the iPad without a passcode or somehow the passcode could be entered on my computer, ect.
I am planning on bringing the iPad to get the digitizer replaced, but to be on the safe side I would like to have a backup just in case a mistake is made during the repair or if a storage dump is unavoidable.
Thank you

You could try attaching a bluetooth keyboard to your ipad and typing in the passcode.  This assume you have enabled bluetooth on the ipad before.

    Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation. Since you are not the owner, they may require your brother's proof of purchase.

  • Why my ipad mini with retina display can't play video of my piano tv

    I can't play the video of my piano tv
    My sister is using iPad 2 but she can play the all video from the internet
    I need somebody help
    The other one is the game of playing music
    I feel very lag on my iPad but when I play my sister's iPad I feel very good
    Why got the big different between this two iPad ?
    Or the iPad of I buy is a poor product?

    We'll the battery has its number of cycles, as time goes the battery will be used up and will need replacement. Try to close all apps running on your backround cause it will also use the battery life. Games with high end graphics will use more battery life due to more data processing involved.

    If i get an Ipad mini with wifi + cellular , can i insert a GSM sim card available in my counrty India , and what is called nani sim card.

    Have you read my reply on your duplicate thread : https://discussions.apple.com/message/22097599#22097599
    If the iPhone 5 is sold in India then that implies nano-sim cards are available there - the iPad Mini takes the same size sim as the iPhone 5

    See
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                                                                                                                                  
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

    paying special attention to item #5

    Hi, I've an iPad Mini with the latest version 6.0.2, a windows 7 Home Premium laptop and iTunes 11.0.1 (12), but I can't synchronize my music or videos with it. I managed to syncronize my books but thats all.
    I also have an iphone 5 and everything seems to work fine with it.
    I see all movies and music available to be sync but when I click on the sync button, the process starts, the bottom bar shows an increase in consumed space then nothing happens and the bar goes back as nothing was added.
    Please help..
    I have tried everything but nothing works.

    Thanks Sk8dreams,
    ....but I wish I could have lol like u right now..
    If I could get a free iPad everything I'd already kept my iPad connected and restarted iTunes, I think I'd have had a truckload of them by now...
    I've done all of these..
    Like I said earlier I syncd everything to my iphone5 successfully...
    I got my PDF ebooks to this same iPad... Films & Music do not seem to be getting through..
    I'm sure someone out there knows what to do..

  • Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works.

    Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works. So how can I fix this I have tried converting videos into different formats but it will not work.
    Is IOS 8 really appropriate with Ipod Touch 4, if the older Ipods do not have the capability then why are we prompted to install new operating systems.
    Thanks.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all videos and resync
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    Pair it for what purpose? If you mean over Bluetooth only certain things are supported for Bluetooth on the iPad.

    Take it to an Apple store and ask. All they can do is say no. They may ask for a purchase receipt to make sure it's not stolen.

  • I want BBM on my ipad, if anyone has it on an ipad mini with wifi, can you please help me?x

    Well, I have been excited by the idea that BBM is available for me on an apple product. So as I pressed install in the App Store, it said I am not compatible to get BBM. If anyone does have it on their ipad mini with wifi ( model number A1432 ) Can you please respond on how I can? Thanks :) x

    While the Instagram App doesn't show when searching for iPad specific Apps, it does show as being compatible with the iPad when searching.

    Hi ..
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You may have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    If nothing above has helped, try here >  iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
