I have an ipod touch that hasn't been used for a while.  Now we want to use it, but the screen says "ipod is disabled connect to itunes"--but it won't connect.  I have tried to place in recovery mode with directions given but still get the same message.

I have an ipod touch that hasn't been used in a while.  We want to use it now, but the screen says "ipod disabled.  connect to itunes".  When I connect to itunes it tells me to enter my passcode, however the ipod will not allow me to do anything (and I don't know the code anyway).  I tried to put it in recovery mode as someone suggested by holding the home button while plugging the ipod up from the computer, but I never did get the "connect to itunes" symbol, I continually got the same screen saying "ipod disabled connect to itunes".  Help!

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.

  • I have an iphone 4 that I recently upgraded to IOS 7, and now I cant drag music to it.  It says "preparing to update" eternally.  Weird thing is... I have an iphone 3s that is IOS 6, and it takes new music all day.  arg.

    I have tried direct connecting the iphone 4, via wifi, everything.  I hate itunes with a passion, but it seems to be a necessary evil.  I dont know why I would have no trouble with my iphone 3.  I am using the same technique for both phones.  Find the music I want in the library and drag it to the iphone.  Works on IOS 6, not IOS 7.
    WHat else should I try?

    Hi jeffmbellucci,
    If you are having issues dragging music to your iPhone 4 after a recent upgrade to iOS 7, you may want to verify that the phone is still set to "Manually manage music and videos." You may find the following article helpful:

  • HT1645 whether i use a DL DVD or just a DVD R, it tells me there was an error during multiplexing.  I have tried changing every setting, best performance, professional quality, etc. and still get the same error message every time i try to burn to dvd.

    whether i use a DL DVD or just a DVD R, it tells me there was an error during multiplexing.  I have tried changing every setting, best performance, professional quality, etc. and still get the same error message every time i try to burn to dvd.

    Welcome to the forums.
    Looks like that error message does refer to encoding (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1645) but a problem could be that your video has to be reloaded into iDVD if you started the encoding process and then switched settings.  You could start a new iDVD project, or try deleting encoded assets.
    Let's start from the beginning -- what length of video are you trying to fit on the DVD? (this will indicate what encoding options you have).  Double layer DVDs can be finicky and are used for video more than 2 hrs long.
    Use good quality media -- Verbatim is often recommended around here, and I've used Sony DVD-R with good results.

    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

    After reinstalling MAC OS 10.6.8, I config the permissions to read/write/no access, my MacMini [mid 2010] refuses to reboot. I tried to reboot in safe mode with Command+S and fsck, but after the steps to be taken, it says fscs not done, root device is read only. I also tried to bypass the Mac firmware password by taking one Ram card out and reboot the macmini while holding COMMAND+OPTION+P+R. But no luck. The macmini is not able to see the mac OSX installation CD.
    Please help ??

    How and where did you change which permissions? And what was the goal?
    Do you have a complete backup of your system? and more importantly data files?
    What happened that prompted the need to reinstall the 10.6.8 update?
    The immediate road forward would be to boot from the optical drive and revert the changes you made.
    What happens when you boot with the install cd and hold down C or hold down the option key?

    Hi, Although I had itunes downloaded on my pc & been using for a while now, today I've been prompted to download itunes again. This has been successfull except that 65 songs that I had previously in my library are now no longer able to play, the message informes me that the original files could not be found. Yet these songs are still on my ipod after being syncronised and I can play them on my ipod. Please advise how I can find the original files on my pc.
    Thank you
    Carol

    I would copy over the entire thing if you have room.  With iTunes 10.4 though, you can download any previous iTunes purchases you have made in the past with your current iTunes account.  While in iTunes, look at the left hand side of your screen and select "Purchases" and look at the bottom right corner of the screen and select "Download Previous Purchases".  If you have an iPhone, iPod and/or iPad...you can do the same thing from each device.  Nice new feature...just remember that those ripped CDs need a back-up!!!  Enjoy...

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Can I get insurance on an iPod touch that has already been stolen and how can I find it

    My iPod touch has been misplaced or stolen, I have used to find my iPhone app multiple times but no luck tracking it. The app tells me that my iPod must connect to the internet before it's able to be tracked. I have locked it and sent various messages to contact me but still, it has to be connected to the internet. Is there a way I can get my serial number or something ? will Apple Replace My IPod If I Can't Find It?  Can someone PLEASE Help Me !

    If it was stolen, the thief will soon find out it's useless. iOS 7's Activation Lock prevents its use by anyone other than its legitimate owner. If you provided contact information, that's all you can do. Wait until someone honest finds it.
    Can I get insurance on an iPod touch
    The insurance question is one for your insurance carrier - homeowner's or renter's insurance. Car insurance, if it was stolen from your car. Most insurance policy deductibles will exceed the value of your iPod though. Apple isn't in the insurance business.
    ... Is there a way I can get my serial number or something ?
    If you do not know its serial number you can find it stored in your last iTunes backup:
    Open iTunes on the computer you used to sync the iPod and select Preferences…from the iTunes menu. (In Windows, choose Edit > Preferences.)
    Select the Devices pane. Position the cursor over any of its backups. The iPod's serial number will appear in a popup window.
    For a screenshot read: iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number
