My iPhone has been badly damaged and I cannot get the screen to work. I want to do a backup to transfer to my new phone but the backup will not work because the phone is locked. Can I input my lock code to the phone via the computer to allow a backup?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

I have done all of the above but when I try to update my Apps on my iphone it still says that my ID is not valid for the US store and I must switch to the UK? My settings already say I am with the UK? What do I do?
ok well like lllaass said, most apps require 4.3 or later iOS software. chances are since the apps worked before, the apps themselves got updated and will no longer work with your software version.

Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?
You can't do that.
And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music. -
When I connect my iPod touch to my computer, I have a list of Events on my iTunes-iPod-Photos. I want to erase these Events. However, the photos are NOT on my MacBook Air-iPhoto. When I check one of the Events and then hit Apply, the photos appear on my iPod. And one last thing: When I connect the iPod and open iPhoto, iPhoto tries to load New Photos (I think), but nothing happens. Any ideas?
Resolved.

When I connect my Ipod touch, the device dosent show up
When I connect my Ipod touch to my computor. The Device from itunes dosn' t show up. So I cant really sync my music or other stuff that I want to put on my Ipod. Please help me!.
Ok, there can be several reasons an iPod will do this:
1.) The device may have a hardware issue, such as the 20-pin connector's connection to the logic board of the device is faulty, etc.
2.) A software/firmware issue is restricting the device from connecting with the computer properly.
Here are a few things to try:
1.)
1. Restart your computer
2. Power off your device
3. Plug in your device
4.) Launch iTunes if it does not automatically launch
if that does not work:
2.)
1. Keep your device plugged into your computer.
2. Power off your device while it is connected.
3. Disconnect your device
4. Begin holding the home button of your device
5. While holding the home button down, plug your device into your computer
6. Continue holding the home button until iTunes pops up (if it takes more than, say, 1 minute, it is not working). iTunes will say it detected a device in recovery mode, and that you will need to reinstall your software. Do so by clicking the button 'Restore' under the picture of your device in iTunes (when you are on the page of your device inside of iTunes).
if that does not work:
3.)
1. Power on your device while connected to your computer
2. Leave your device connected to your computer and power off your device by pressing the home and power buttons down
3. After 10 seconds from the time you started holding the buttons, release the power button, but continue holding down the home button
4. Stop holding the home button down once iTunes launches and says that your device is in recovery mode, then proceed to do a software restore by clicking on your device in iTunes, then clicking the button that says 'Restore'. -

After upgrading to Windows 8 . I was having the same issue. I uninstalled all Apple related software from PC. downloaded Itunes from the Apple website. It reinstalled all the software that I removed through the itunes download. Opened itunes and there was my phone completely recognized and ready to backup to icloud or pc.
