I cannot enter my iPod Touch as it is locked with a previously set password which I can't now remember.  Can anyone advise how I resolve this as my Ipod Touch is now unuseable Many thanks. 

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Ipad is disabled connect to itunes but i connected it and there was a popup saying itunes cannot connect to ipad because it is locked with a passcode. You mus enter the passcode on the ipad before it can be used with itunes. but i couldnt enter my passwor

    my ipad is disabled and it said ipad is disabled connect to itunes but i connected it and was restoreing it and then there was a popup and it said itunes cannot connect to ipad because it is locked with a passcode. and you must enter the passcode on the ipad before it can be used with itunes. But i couldnt even write the passcode on my ipad cause it was disabled. What should i do now????

    Follow the instructions on this page to reset your iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

  • Restore: Tunes cannot connect my phone because it is locked with a passcode

    My iPhone is telling me that a restore is needed and to connect it to iTunes. When I connect it to iTunes I get a message that iTunes cannot connect my phone because it is locked with a passcode.  I know the passcode but my phone does notgive me the option to enter the passcode to unlock.  Is there a way I can do that from iTunes? Anyother ideas?

    Normally you will only get that message if the computer your are using is not the last one you backed up to. Your only solution is to restore using Recovery mode. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

    I found my answer in another Thread and it worked... so for anyone who needs it, here it is:

    Had the same problem and spoke with Apple Support. They had me reset the System Management Controller:
    Shut down the computer. With the computer off, on the left hand side of the keyboard press shift+control+option along with the power button simultaneously and release. Wait 5-10 seconds and restart the computer.
    This solved my problem and I was immediately able to purchase, download, and play an HD movie from iTunes w/o any error message.

  • I won Lightroom 1.0 a few years ago at an Adobe clinic in Fremont. I have since misplaced the original disk and cannot get the program to open. It wants a serial number and I don't have one. How can I get the serial number so I can use the software?

    I won Lightroom 1.0 as a door prize a few years ago at an Adobe clinic in Fremont. I have since misplaced the original disk and cannot get the program to open. It wants a serial number and I don't have one. How can I get the serial number so I can use the software?

    Thanks for replying, Jim. I wasn't planning to use it for raw images. I shoot film, black and white, and have many negatives I want to print. I am unfamiliar with the upgrades in Lightroom. I wasn't unhappy with the version I have. It was useful for my purposes.
    Because it was a few years ago, I don't remember if I registered the product. I was able to login to my account. But could not find a path to communicate with Adobe. I will keep trying.

  • My computer continually asks me to enter my password for Keychain access. This problem is continuos and I am having trouble with eliminating it. I have changed my password through Security and my Accounts numerous times to no avail.  Is there anythin

    My computer continually asks me to enter my password for Keychain access. This problem is continuos and I am having trouble with eliminating it.
    I have changed my password through Security and my Accounts numerous times to no avail.
    Is there anything I can do other than Resetting the entire computer and re installing all of the software, apps, etc.etc.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ First Aid
    There are four checkboxes in the window that opens. Check all of them. if they're not already checked. Close the window.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
    If you use iCloud Keychain, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.

  • Why I cannot enter an "Activity Type" for a trip with only one destination?

    Hello experts,
    Doing a travel expense the user must specify the type of activity (u201CAu201D, u201COu201D or u201CSu201D) that the trip expense is involved, but this option itu2019s only available when the trip has more than one destination (inside the table u201CAdditional Destinationsu201D):
    [Screen Shot # 1|http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/1789/acttype.jpg]
    [Screen Shot # 2|http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/8812/ptk05.jpg]
    When I make a travel expense report, the field activity does not
    appear, only on additional destination. Why cannot I enter an activity
    type for the first destination, only for additional destination?
    I think that the system should allow to enter an activity on general
    trip data.
    Thanks on advance

    Hi,
    Sorry I gave you the customizing entry for transaction PR05 and not for TRIP.
    So, go there :
    Tx FITVFELD.
    --> Your Trip Provision Variant. --> Trip Schema --> Travel Manager (Travel Expenses Only) --> General Trip Data --> Trip Itinerary 
    The Field "Trip Activity Type - PTK05_N-KZTKT " should have the parameters "Field Is Visible" and "Field ready for input" checked.
    As you can see, the entry point is in "Trip itinerary" Subscreen and not in "General Trip Data Subscreen".
    This means that unfortunately the Trip Activity Type is not available in the subscreen General Trip Data.
    If I do like this in my test system, in the TRIP tx I can see that the field Activity Type appears also in the subscreen "Mileage and Per Diem Reimbursement". So If I enter my activity type here, then it populates the value in my first destination (in Trip Itinerary) even if I have only one destination.
    Hope this help ;o)
    Regards,
    Christophe
