IPhone screen busted, unable enter pass code, home button gone.

Hello Gurus,
Friend of mine got his Iphone damaged and trying to get data from it. Cant use itunes due to passcode lock, either third party iphone explorers.
Cant start in recovery mode, due to home button damage. Iphone still works and recieves sms messages
Went through several forum posts and web sites, looks like its an issue.
Just wondering if somebody have special trick to get data (pictures / music ) may be even do full backup.
Any recomendation will be helpful.
Photo attahced.

Find a third-party repair shop that will swap logic boards in a working phone.

HT4061 Forget iPhone password, when connect to computer "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a pass code. You must enter pass code on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."

You have to restore it using a computer with iTunes per the knowledge base article above.
With iOS 7, if you have Find My Phone turned on you can login to iCloud from a computer and send an erase signal to the iPhone to clear it...that will erase all content and settings.

I got my iPhone disabled mistakenly by six trials of entering pass code. However now I remembered my passcode so how can fix the problem without losing my contents.

If your phone is now disabled, you've already lost all data on the phone...that's the whole point of the passcode, to protect the data on the phone. Your only choice now is to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it, as described here:

This will remove the passcode, but also erase all data on the phone unless you have a backup to restore from.

Can you tell if the screen is still functional?
I assume you've entered the password many times, so if it's possible, turn on the iPhone and picture where the unlock slider is, then where the keyboard is. You might be able to enter the password. If you can hear keyboard clicks, it should work.
If not, check out this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread/5044081?start=0&tstart=0

Classic ipod, screen locked by a pass code

my kid has a classic ipod, screen locked by a pass code, she forgot the code, how could we unlock it?

Hi there hsvsheng,
You may find the information in the article below helpful.
iPod: How to use the Screen Lock
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1350
Unlocking iPod
You can unlock iPod in one of two ways:
Enter the combination on iPod using the same controls you used to set the combination. If you do not enter the correct combination, the digits onscreen flash red. When you enter the combination correctly, iPod will unlock and return you to the last viewed screen.
Connect iPod to the primary computer you use it with (the first one iPod synced with), and open iTunes. When you disconnect iPod from the computer, it will no longer be locked.
If you can't unlock iPod using either of these methods, you can restore your iPod to factory settings. Please note that this will erase all data on your iPod. Afterwards, you can add your music and data back to iPod.If you want to change the primary computer that your iPod is associated with, do this:
Restore your iPod. Warning: The restore process cannot be undone. All of your songs and files will be deleted. Always make a backup of your important data.
Connect your iPod to the computer that you want to be the primary computer.
Open iTunes and synchronize.

HT201365 How do I change settings so I do not have to enter pass code all the time?

How do I change sttings so I do not have to enter pass code all the time?

The passcode is a key security feature to ensure that nobody has access to your device and data without you entering the passcode in. You can only have the option to have it on or off so if you wish to disable it then go to "settings>general>passcode lock" to do this.

My Iphone 5 home button keeps pressing itself but stops if put pressure on the bottom of the screen on each side of the home button, i have noticed that there is a screw missing on the right side of the lightning port could this be the issue?

If you are still under warranty, contact Apple to get it serviced. You can also visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get it looked at.

How can i put my iphone in to dfu mode if my home button is broken i am on ios 7

i cannot figure out how to put my iphone in dfu mode with a broken home button on ios 7

Then you use this support document to restore it. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 Then, if the device is on iOS 7, you will need his Apple ID and password for Activation Lock. If he cannot remember that, there is nothing you can do to change that. DFU mode will not correct that. It will be locked and cannot be activated, period.

Before updating my iPhone 4S, I could double click the home button, and delete all of the previously opened apps. I am not able to figure out to do that now, after installing the latest update. Does anyone know how to do this?

BEfore updating my iPhone 4S, I could double click the home button and delete all of the previously opened apps. After updating, I am not able to figure out how to do this. Can someone tell me how to do this? Thank you.

After you double click the home button you swipe up on the app screenshot.

IPod on voice command unable to enter pass code

Some how I have activated voice command on my iPod and when I try to enter the pass code the cell remain blank and the iPod remains locked

I think you mean VoiceOver
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:
