My ipod touch is disbled and when i try to restore it my itunes keeps saying i have to download ios5, but i cant get into my ipod to do it. What do I do?
My ipod touch is disabled. When I try to restore it my itunes says I need to download ios5, but I cant donload it because its disabled. What do I do?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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

I don't want to lose all my apps but I want to upgrade my iPod. Is there any other way to upgrade it but not lose all my apps, and if so what is it?
- Update on the computer you sync with that has allthe apps and other synced media in its iTunes library.
- If on another computer
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like on of those discussed here:
newer copy
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup. The iPod will be updated too.
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

Why is my ipod touch screen black and when i try to turn it on it won't turn on ?
i was listening to my ipod last week and it went dead , so i plugged it in to my laptop to charge it & to download some songs , the icon that shows its charging didn't come up so i left it in for an our or 2 but my computer still detected the ipod & itunes came up straight away, so wen i went back to it it still wasn't charged so i tried to turn it on the screen went white for a few seconds and ten back to black , my ipod still won't come on. anyone ave any idea's?
Sorry to hear that you're having problems. Tried a restore with iTunes? If not try it and it should work. If this does not work, take it to your local applestore as ths COULD (not saying it is definately) be a Hardware issue.
Hope this helps, Let me know hoe you get on!

When my ipod touch is in recovery mode (when I try to re-store it) the itunes page sayes the website has been timed out and so it won't re-store. There is a limited time, whilst restoring the ipod, it lasts for approx 5 mins, then asks to start again all over again. Can anyone please help me?
This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw. -
I'm trying to get the iOS 5 or 6 update to my ipod touch version 4.2.1
My ipod says it's up to date but I can't get my netflix app to load becuse it says I need the iOS 5 software
Does this mean that my Ipod touch is no longer any good???
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
CandiceI used to be able to get Netflix and other apps on my ipod but since they have been upgraded to ios 5 + I can no longer get them. "
You updated your Netflix app without seeing if the new version was compatible with your ios version. Had you not updated, then you could still be using it.
" So I gather by your response and other similar questions/answers that I am out of luck now."
Yes.

I have an IPOD touch 4th generation. When I try to buy apps from apps store and Itunes it says this is the 1st time doing it so wants me to answer security questions. Granddaughter put 2 in the ipod but can't remember them. how do i either change them so I know what they are or just take them out again?
Strange; yesterday there was a link via which you could get a reset email sent, but today that link is missing. So if you've forgotten your answers, there is no way around the problem without involving Apple. Go here:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
