How can I get back on my ipod if it won't let me?

I went to get my Ipod and it said to connect it to iTones, it's never done this before, but I have a lock code on it, so everytime I try and plug it in it says I must first enter the password. but it won't let me do so because I can not see anything on the screen but the icon telling me to plug it into iTones! does anyone know what to do???? or am I just S.O.L?

To restore your iPod with iTunes in this situation you need to put it in DFU mode, to do this follow these steps:
1. Connect iPod to computer
2. Open iTunes
3. Power off iPod
4. Hold down Power and Home buttons at the same time
5. When the Apple logo appears on the screen release the Power button but continue to hold the Home button until you see the 'Connect to iTunes' screen
after you do this iTunes will prompt you and say that it detects an iPhone/iPod in recovery mode and that is must restore the iPod before it can be used. Click OK and follow whatever steps that appear on the screen.

  • How can I get back into my iPod when I forgot my combination?

    I set a combination lock on my iPod nano (3rd generation). Next time I tried to unlock my iPod, I realized I forgot my combo...How can I get back into my iPod? I appreciate any help you have to offer. Thank you!

    If you do not know the passcode, then your only option is to restore the iPod to factory settings via iTunes.

    The only way you will be able to track that iPod is if it is turned on and connected to a wifi network by the person that has it.

  • I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod?

    I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod? And if I can't put it on my ipod how do I get my money back? I registered my ipod on iTunes, why was a song I can't put on my ipod even offered to me? What a rip?

    Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
    - Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
    - Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
    To move mdia to the new computer see:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

  • How do I get back into my ipod without resetting it? Its disabled and says I have to connect to itunes

    How do I get back into my ipod witout reseting it? It says I have to connect to itunes becuase its disabled.

    Restore.  Note that it could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    I'm sorry to hear that your iPhone 4s was lost, and glad that you were able to upgrade. 
    If your iPhone 4s was backed up to iCloud or using iTunes, you can restore the backed up data to your new phone.
