Need to copy save data but can't sync or back-up as my screen is broke?

I am using a 4G and intend to buy a 5G but I don't want to restart my games from the start. I tried to do a backup but my iPod has a passcode so when I try to sync it says I have to type in my passcode but as the screen is broke I cannot see where the keys are to type in. Is there anything I can do to copy my data?

All you can do is to restore from an existing backup.

Can see iPad Air in iTunes but can't sync or back up. Could 2 days ago.

Can see iPad Air in iTunes but will no longer sync or back up, could 2 days ago. Can drag apps from library onto device however 'apply' is not available, nor is 'sync' under Devices.

Disconnect other USB devices from your computer and connect iPad to a different USB 2.0 port on your computer (not on your keyboard).
Turn iPad off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Restart your computer. Then reconnect iPad to your computer.
Download and install (or reinstall) the latest version of iTune

Software is up to date, but can't sync music on my 3rd gen iPod.

Before I begin, I wanna clarify... my iTunes software is up to date, and I've turned my computer on & off to help resolve this.
Last night, for the first time, I couldn't sync one music purchase on my iPod. The sync would complete, but my song never appeared on my iPod. During that same sync attempt, a message popped up claiming that 2 of my OLDER songs couldn't be synced because "an error occurred." Never happened before with those songs or other music purchases! Also tried clicking on transferring purchases just in case that was the issue. My new song never appeared.
Then today, when I went to try again the whole sync stopped. Up popped an error message with a big red "X" saying my iPod couldn't be synced. Wth is going on- any ideas? Help!

Tried both resetting and restoring. As predicted, the restoration process wiped out all my music. When I went to re-sync, everything returned except one old Napster song from a couple years ago...and ALL the songs I've purchased on iTunes are GONE. Poof. Now it's worse.

My iPad screen is extremely damaged, I need to wipe iPad clean but can't see the screen. Can I control iPad settings through my pc/iTunes?

You can try an alternative.
This is the quickest thing that came to mind, but if you want to wipe it with no care of the data on the device at all:
Place device in recovery mode (turn off device > hold home button + plug in to iTunes (WHILE HOLDING BUTTON)).
iTunes will give you an error saying it detected a device in recovery mode, you need to restore to use device. Restoring device is a factory reset. AKA a wipe of the device

I need to update my devices but can't because not enough storage. Purchased iCloud and still can't do updates and doesn't seem to work?

I can't do any updates cause I've no storage I bought storage and now I can't do update cause I don't have enough mb?i need an apple genius to sort me out! It's probably something simple and when I look up apples website about iCloud it says I need the latest ios6 but I can't update because it won't let me?!! Advice please?

iCloud doesn't increase the storage capacity on your phone. That is fixed when you purchase it. iCloud only allows you to sync data between devices, so they always have the same data.
If you want to increase the free space on your phone so you can update it, you'll have to sync some of your data off your device to make more room. One option is to import your photos and videos to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and delete them off your phone. You can sync some or all of them back later if you want. Another option is to sync some or all of your music off your phone. You can also sync this back later if you want.

You can purchase recovery disks from HP. Here is a webpage showing you how to do that:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=bph07143
If HP no longer supplies your specific recovery disk, you can usually find one from a 3rd party site, such as www.restoredisks.com for between $20 and $30.

I have an older ipod 80gb that I've just reset and associated with my iTunes account. It's recognized and up to date but when I sync I can't download any of my music. How can I download my iTunes library to this device?

Hello Analogue guy living in wireless world,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to sync your music to your iPod.
I recommend trying to sync your music again using iTunes. When you have your iPhone connected to iTunes, I recommend checking the Music tab to verify that Sync Music is checked. From here, you will be able to select to sync your "Entire music library" or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres:"
I recommend reviewing the full article here:

I quote:
To deauthorize all computers associated with your account
If you find you have reached 5 authorizations, you can reset your authorization count by clicking Deauthorize All in the Account Information screen.
Click iTunes Store in the menu on the left side of iTunes.
If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
Click the Account button again (your ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than 5 authorized computers, or if you have used this option within the last 12 months. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact the iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/).
Once you have done this you can re-authorize the computers you need to.

Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes?

You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

I updated my Ipad to IOS 5 but now my Ipad is blank. I backed up to Itunes but can't find my back up info.

Yes, there are two utilities that I use to perform this task, SuperCrazyAwesome’s iPhone Backup Extractor which is a free utility, and addPod’s Juice Phone, also free. Neither solution will work if you have encrypted your backup files. Both allow you to access the backed up data as if the iPhone was connected to your Mac.

Hello,
I recommend you contact AT&T's dedicated BB Support staff (call their front line, request escalation to BB Support) and have them check to be sure that your account with them is correctly configured for this device. Sometimes when switching devices things don't fully automatically move behind the scenes, and only they (ATT) can validate that.
Good luck and let us know!
