How can I sync/unlock my disabled iPhone without restoring it on iTunes?
I dropped my iPhone and the screen literally went haywire, inputting random numbers as my code so many times that I got it disabled. Thinking back I honestly should've just shut my phone down but I was panicking. Got the screen fixed now so how should I go about this?
In such a situation, I would not try to do anything
until I was at an Apple store and getting assistance from an expert.
There's really no other option other than restoring the phone. Once it's disabled, you can't do anything with it as a security measure.
Hopefully you have a recent iCloud or iTunes backup.
- Will restoring my iPhone on my iTunes unlock my forgotten passcode? I put a new passcode on then stupidly forgot it and nkw I can't get in because i'm getting it wrong. I've read to restore it on the computer which I'm doing now but i'm scared it won't work. What do I do if it doesn't? And will it work?
- If I sync another iphone to my iTunes will this delete my previous sync on iTunes? I synced my phone to iTunes and now let's say I want to sync my friends iphone to the same computer. Will this delete my previous sync? I'm hoping it does because I want my previous sync deleted as I don't want others getting my stuff on their iPhones thanks heaps

- How to unlock a disabled iphone without restoring it? My phone is now completely disabled after my 7 year old daughter kept trying to log in. I have been told by AT&T and Apple that the only way to be able to log in is to connect to itunes and restore the phone. However, I obviously don't want to lose my my pictures and videos. I'm devestated! Is there anyway of getting to my pictures and video so that I can upload them onto my computer (something I should have done a while ago). I have never even backed up my phone on icloud.
