IPhone 4s disabled. how do i fix it without erasing all my data?

okay, i just got an iphone4s for my birthday on april 25th. i had no passcode because no one ever goes through or touches my phone. but, i got in trouble and i didnt want my parents to look through it so i added a passcode but accidentally my finger slipped and i added a random code. the finger slipped again when i went to confirm it. since i didnt know how to unlock it i put the require passcode after: to four hours. and the auto lock to never so i thought i could buy some time like that. this morning i saw i left it locked when i went to sleep last night and therefore it was locked for four hours. making it require a passcode. i had already attempted to figure it out 9x and this morning i tried once more. now says its disabled, connect to itunes. how do i unlock it without erasing all my data?

You can't. Try restore with the computer you usually sync with.

  • TS1591 My ipod classic (80gb) won't sync with my mac & itunes. How can i fix this without losing all my data? (ie. music, photos, video)

    My ipod classic is still working, its not frozen or anything. It just won't sync up with my macbook and itunes. I recently realized that I had previously connected it to a PC just to charge it then it when i tried to connect it to my mac, it wouldn't sync up. Can someone help me figure this out? I don't want to lose all of my data though, like music, photos, or videos. Any help is appreciated! Thank you for your time!

    okay, I don't know about the rest, but about the songs never actually loading onto your iPod, I found in another discussion how to fix that. I'm using Windows 7, so I don't know if the steps are the same, but the end result is the same. So go into your Start menu, then into accessories, right click 'Command Prompt' and click 'Run as administrator'. Then type in the following: netsh winsock reset then press Enter. After a few seconds it should tell you to to restart your computer for changes to take effect. Restart your computer, then restart iTunes, then everything should be working fine. It still takes forever sometimes to update the iPod, but eventually it will work. I've had to do this multiple times, so I'd suggest copying & pasting this solution into a notepad or Word document and saving it on your computer, so you don't have to go through the discussions again to find it. This tends to happen to me nearly every day unfortunately Hope this fixes that problem, but I'm not having any of the other problems fortunately, except for removing the artwork of the songs it updates without me asking it too. PS I think my problem may be with iOS 5, because iTunes 10.5 came out before iOS 5, and I think everything was fine before I updated my iPod, but I really don't know where the problem lies

  • My app has been crashing on me for almost a day now. How do I fix it without losing all my data on it?!

    Every time I open my app (Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff) it'll open for about 5 seconds then bring me back to my home page. I've tried everything, restarted my phone 50 times. I've had this game for maybe a month and it has never done this before. I'm at level 26 in this game so deleting it and starting from scratch isn't really an option. So if anybody knows anything, please help!!! Thanks

    As when there is a problem with a 3rd party app on your computer, contact the Apple developer. The developer likely has a website for troubleshooting and to report problems.

    - Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes. For how to restore: iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    You have to either:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - You can get some photos back if you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

    hi, I was about to reset my iphone3g when I accidentally selected erase all contents and setting. It was stucked with the iphone logo, so i tried to fix it by restoring all my datas in iTunes. I was able to successfully fix it but when I inserted my sim card it says that simcard not recognized. I tried all the solutions in the net but nothing seemed to work. What should I do? I'm located here in the Philippines. I hope you could help. Thanks! 

    I know. I was with my brother when we did this. He didnt clearly understood the question that poped-up. Regarding the simcard, after successfully restoring it on itunes my simcard won't work. I'm not able to send and receive calls and messages.

  • I backed up files onto an external hard rive form my old PC. Now I want to retrieve the files to put on my mac but it is telling me to format it to Mac. How can I do this without erasing all of the data on my hard drive?

    Your drive was used with a PC and formatted NTFS which is proprietary Microsoft format.
    You need to install a third party program that will read the NTFS format.
    There is various software from PARAGON, Tuxera and NTFS-3G
    When you get the data off and have verified it to be good, reformat the drive either HFS+ for Mac use only, or for Mac and PC use then MSDOS (FAT32) for under 4GB files (best) or exFAT (for larger than 4GB files) is proprietary and Microsoft is appling for a patent, which would likely mean OS X won't be allowed to read it anymore without a licensing fee and you'l have to pay another third party software company to read the format, just like NTFS is.
    The less you have to rely upon third party sources to read your drives the better, this way if you have a issue and need to read the drive on another machine you don't need the software, and a internet connection and a credit card and...and...and...

  • IPod Classic is stuck on a restarting loop, how do I fix it without erasing any of the data?

    My iPod Classic(160G) is stuck in a restarting loop and I don't know how to fix it.
    It will turn on so I can see the Apple logo, then it will shut off and do it all over again untill the battery is drained.
    It charges without problems; my laptop won't recognize that there is an iPod plugged in so iTunes doesn't work.
    I would love to be able to fix the problem without erasing any data because I have lots of songs that I no longer have on any computer anymore.
    I would appreciate some help, as long as it won't erase any of the data, thanks.

    I let my 8 year old listen to the IPod that my eldest son gave to me. My 8 year old also likes to take pictures with the IPod. Anyways, she unknowingly put a password on it and tried too many times to unlock it, now it's disabled. How do I enable it without erasing any of the music or pictures?!

  • I had to change my apple ID now how do I update icloud without deleting all cloud data on the computer?

    My provider is terminating email service so I had to change my apple ID.  I did that in iTunes but now my icloud on my PC wants me to sign in under my old id, I don't see a way to update to the new ID without deleting all cloud data on the PC.  Is there another way so I don't have to resync everything from the cloud?

    Check the list in the link below, how to change all services, after you changed your Apple ID:
    What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071
    In particular, for iCloud:
    Update your Apple ID or password on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, and Apple TV.
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
    Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you're signed out, enter your updated Apple ID or password. The data in iCloud will automatically appear on your device after you sign in.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm. You might need to enter your password. Your data will remain in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter your updated Apple ID or password.

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
