My iPhone 4 has broken screen, how can I reset it with iTunes

My iPhone 4 has a broken screen. The lock button sometimes works. I need to reset it, can I do this with iTunes. Also, how can you get onto the screen that shows you what phone is connected

You can reset the device through settings > general > reset > reset all settings.
You can restore the software of the device through iTunes.
Depending on your computer operationg system ( Mac or Windows) you will need to find the menu bar ( File, Edit, View...etc) and click View > Show Sidebar.

    you will have to wait until you can try again,
    i believe the only way if you don't know the passcode is to factory reset through itunes which you will lose everything from your phone if it hasn't been backed up

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    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.

  • Lcd/display iPhone 5 broken. How can I unlock the device?

    I need to unlock it or even restore to factory setting in order to sell it. It keeps saying I should turn off "Find My iPhone" before it can be restored. But I can't, even from my icloud account control panel or from itunes on my pc, on which I have back ups. The buyer wants to be sure it is only the display which is broken, so I wanted to restore from my itunes, and set it up as new, so we can test if it can recieve calls. How do I get around this without the replacing the display?

    Can you login to iCloud.com from your computer, locate the phone, then erase it? But, if the phone is running iOS 7.0., you will still need to do the following:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
    If you can't, the phone will not be able to be re-activated without knowing your Apple ID/Password.
    I'm afraid you're gonna have to get the phone fixed first. Many Apple stores, in the US, will replace the screen/digitizer for US $149.

  • My iTunes program has broken letters, How can I solve the problem?

    I bought a new MacBook few days ago.
    I set up my MacBook and then set up ipod.
    On the first day, it had no problem.
    But on the next day, when I launched iTunes, all the letters were not english font, but they were Hebrew and other broken fonts.
    How can I solve this serious problem?

    Welcome to the Apple forums, Samuel.
    How can I solve this serious problem?
    Very simply.
    You have installed an application which has placed its own copy of the font "Lucida Grande" on the hard disk. This copy of Lucida Grande is causing a conflict with the Mac OS X version - Lucida Grande is provided and used by the Mac OS to display text in menu bars and on buttons.
    Open "Font Book" and locate the entry for Lucida Grande. You will see a black dot next to the name - this indicates that the font is duplicated.
    Click the triangle to show all instances of the font.
    Click on "Preview" in the menu bar and choose "Show Font Info" from the drop down.
    Click on one of the instances of Lucida Grande.
    In the info window, look at the entry for "Location". If it does NOT say System/Library/Fonts/Lucida Grande delete it.
    Do not, under any circumstances delete the font if the location shows up as:
    /System/Library/Fonts/Lucida Grande This is the Mac OS X system version.

  • My iPhone has been stolen, how can I delete the data on it while at the same time, keeping my number.

    Hi there,  My iPhone has been stolen.  I have managed to get a replacement SIM with the same number.  Is there any way I can have the data on the stolen phone deleted or have it tracked and stopped of its use.  I did have Find me App but I am not sure if it was set up. I do not have the phones serial or technical details although iTunes always showed it when connected to my laptop.  Thanks  Bernie

    Use your computer and the Find My iPhone on www.iCloud.com and see if it locates your iPhone. If it does then you can wipe it remotely. If not you have no way to do so.
    Be sure to change all passwords for sites that were accessed from your iPhone.

  • My iphone has been stolen, how can I retrieve my contacts without sim and having never backed up

    My iphone has been stolen and I have never backed up my phone so how cn I retrieve my contacts as I have no recoed of the sim number

    The iPhone doesn't save contacts to the SIM card so I don't know what good knowing the SIM card number would do you. If you have no back up of the contacts, they are lost.

  • HT1212 my daughters ipod has been diabled how can i reset it

    my daughter ipod touch is disabled someone tried to break pass code and now it say try again in 22825734 minutes ...help
    she cant remember the pass code

    Connect in recovery mode and restore on the computer you usually sync to and you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process.
    iOS: Recovery mode
    See also: iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you don't have access to a computer
    If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore 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.
    If you have previously synced your device with iTunes
    You may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device.
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes prompts you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes", below.
    Right-click the device in the left column and select Back up.
    When the backup is complete, select Restore.
    When finished, restore from your most recent backup.
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes
    Connecting the device may result in this error message: "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."
    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 turn off.
    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. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

  • TS1292 my code on my itunes card has come off, how can i redeem it with =out the code,

    See this support article:

    If you can't get the card to work after perusing that page, as will obviously not be possible if the code has come completely off, contact the iTunes Store Support; instructions are at the bottom of that article.
