Sync with broken touch screen

On my 4S, the screen is broken (touch screen is both cracked and inoperable). I'm trying to do a last Sync to iTunes before getting it replaced, but iTunes needs it unlocked to do that. How do I get past this, considering I can't put in my password?

Any way to tranfer contact information from a Palm Pre with a broken touch screen?

My beloved Palm Pre died last Friday with the touch screen failing. It simply stopped responding to inputs. I am able to unlock the phone and enter some commands from the slide out keypad, but I can't do much. For example, I can type in "contacts" under just-type and then hit enter and it will take me to the contacts screen. However, at that point I can't navigate around or open any contacts. Other commands don't respond to the slide out keypad, such as the "USB Drive" prompt when I plug the phone into my laptop.
I have several contacts saved on the phone (and some on the SIM) that I can no longer access. Most were backed up to my Outlook contacts but many are not. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can move these to an alternate source (Outlook, Google, Desktop, etc) where I can then recover them. I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks,
Crash.

There are several methods to export Palm Profile contacts such as:
http://www.webosnation.com/how-to-export-and-move-your-contacts-patch
and
http://www.webosnation.com/how-to-export-your-webos-contacts-csv
but they all require a device with a responsive touchscreen. I am unaware of any way to access your webOS Profile data from HP's backup servers directly, without a device.
So...if you either know someone with a webOS device you could borrow, or find an inexpensive used one (eg eBay...or if you could use Verizon, get a no-contract Pre 2 from BestBuy for a mere $45!!!), and if you had Backup turned on, you should be able to restore them all by signing into your account on a replacement webOS device.

Some albums I put on my Mac to later sync with a Touch appears as seperate tracks and not a single album. How do I get them back together again other than a playlist. I do not want the tracks showing up as albums on the Touch?

Are your tracks pat of a collection? Different artists, but still one album? Then mark them a s acollection or set the album artist. See this guide on how to group separate tracks into albums:

My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

Try this for the freezing

Or if they don't work put it into recovery mode

Will an iMac mini and mountain lion work with a touch screen monitor?

I was wondering if Mountain Lion would work with a touch screen monitor. I have a project in mind and this is a key part to the equation. If any one could help this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I do Not know for certain, but from my understanding, touch screen interfaces require that the OS version used to drive them be "designed" from the beginning to operate within that environment. Obviously, at this point OS X has Not been designed to function that way (non of the Mac's using it work that way); although the mobile version, iOS 6, used in iPhones and iPads was indeed designed from scratch to operate that way. So one day sometime down the road it's possible that OS X too will share this ability. But not yet.
Hope this helps

Will firefox work with a touch screen? Does it support multi-touch?

I can't scroll with my finger. It only highlights the words.

The answer you received is not correct. The answer is YES. MAC's do work with all touch screen monitors once you downliad the free drivers.
I have a Mac Mini and a Mac book pro both of which are connect to the same Acer Touch Screen Monitor. I am using it as write this to you.All you need to do is download the free drivers from www.touch-base.com. The basic touch drivers are free. I also purchase the mac gesture drivers for $109 USD and they work great. You can even activate the on screen keyboard in the mac accessibility settings which allows you to have a touch screen keyboard.

There is no way to downgrade to a different iOS. Apple does not support downgrading. See this link regarding speeding up the iPhone 4. http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/

TS1702 I recently purchased several apps that will not sync with iPod touch. Of 5 apps, three won't sync. Computer is authorized, I've reinstalled apps, nothing works. Any ideas?

I recently purchased several apps that will not sync with iPod touch. Of 5 apps, three would not sync. I updated all software, checked authorizations, and reinstalled the apps -- no luck. Any ideas?

All the apps state they are compatible w/ my model iPod Touch. No restrictions are set that would prevent syncing. Seems like I might have had a similar problem a while back with one app but can't recall the solution -- it was something simple.

Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

It's either hand right or left.
I have the same issue myself. Not sure if it's b/c my fingers are too big or if I'm really missed the letter on the keyboard.

HT2907 How do you stop inadvertent contact with the touch screen? Why no Lock Button? Doesn't anyone work out at Apple?? MY Gen 7 also doesn't link to workout equipment automatically like my Gen 6 and I can't stop the bloody voiceover. Any thoughts?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Since I installed iOS7, during calls my cheek interferes with the touch screen

since I installed iOS7, during calls my cheek interferes with the touch screen, switching on FaceTime or speakerphone

That is the bug, exactly. Phone rings, slide to answer, raise to ear to use as a telephone!
Getting infuriating. "Reset All Settings" worked for over a week for me, then problem returned.
