My iPhone is just showing a black screen and it feels like its overheating when I plug it in. I have a music app called MB3 that has my songs and I don't think I have it backed up with iCloud. I don't want to lose all my stuff so I was wondering if there is any possible way to transfer my data on my computer or something?

When I plug my phone into my computer nothing shows up. Like its not registering that a device is connected? I also did a few hard shut downs, nothing seems to work.

There is a glitch apparently that some of the iPhones have. This depends on the generation phone you have, but some of them have a glitch where the screen goes black, it turns off, and the phone scrolls for you or does not scroll when you try to make it. Try waiting an hour or so before plugging it in if it is overheated, as if it is too overheated it may not function properly. Plug it in after a fixed amount of time, and wait as long as you would usually wait for the phone to regain enough battery to turn on and attempt to turn it on. If you rather not wait or this doesn’t work, take it somewhere such as the Verizon store or best buy, or whatever location you got your phone from. They’ll tell you what to do if the phone does not turn on.
Consult with whoever you took your phone to. There is a way to preserve information, contacts and pictures and all, even if the phone does not function well. This might however require you to be able to turn your phone on. Maybe check on the Apple official website to make sure as well that your information will stay or at least can be transferred.
Yes, I sent an email and they said that they noticed that my iPhone was in DFU mode and they will know more when they get my screen fixed. And I hope so because I don't want to lose 400 songs that are not saved on my iCloud :(. They said that it will take about two weeks before my iPhone is fixed though. I can't find anything on if my data on my phone will be saved, I will just have to hope and pray.
Maybe try asking them and explaining thoroughly about how you don’t have iCloud but you wish to back up the information on your device. They have expirience, so if there’s a way to do it they’ll probably do it. Good luck and I hope things turn out ok.
Ok, I appreciate your time, thanks so much! I will let you know if my data got saved.
Thanks for responding! Yes I took it to Normal Gadgets and they said that the black light in my phone was broke so their fixing it. But my phone was in DFU mode and I was wondering if that would erase my data, especially my data that isn't saved on my iCloud. What do you think?
