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.

When I try to turn on my 27'' iMac I get a circle that appears with a line through it does this mean my Drive is shot?

Not necessarily. We use a product called Scannerz to test hard drives. They have a book on hard drive troubleshooting that you can download here:
http://scsc-online.com/Downloads.html
Scroll to the bottom of the web page and download the Hard Drive Troubleshooting book. You won't want to read the whole thing, just the section describing your problem. Most of the stuff they describe in their "advanced" section requires unit disassembly, and the way that section is written I think they're assuming people know how to take units apart without any instructions - in other words it's not written "for the rest of us." Most of the resets they describe that you might need can be done by anyone.
If you end up buying Scannerz, I would NOT recommend Scannerz-Lite, I'd go with Scannerz with FSE-Lite. It costs about $14.00 more but they keep enhancing the product and adding more applications to it, all free if you own Scannerz w/FSE or FSE-Lite. I'd also avoid FSE all together unless you know a fair amount about the operating system, files, processes, Unix type path names, etc. etc.
If you're lucky that will end up being nothing more than a reset.

Is it still charging if you connect it to the adapter? If yes, let it charge for about 10min, then connect to your computer in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Recovery mode

My Iphone is on, but home and lock buttons are completely unresponsive. I can swipe the screen but i cannot do anything else. help me please :(

I was jus trying to download a few new apps when it said I had no storage left, so i went to delete some things, and after i was done, i tried to press the home button to go home. It didn't work, but yet if I clicked it the 3 times it would invert my colors still. I then tried to lock my phone or turn it off and neither worked.
I can still swipe on the settings screen but nothing else. The AssistiveTouch won't even take me back to my home screen. HELP

Try holding the Home and Power button together for at least 15 seconds or until the Apple logo comes on. Then let go and wait for the phone to reset and restart. This will take a few minutes and you will not lose any data.
If this does not work put your phone in recovery mode and connect it to iTunes. Then restore the phone to factory settings and then restore from backup. This will wipe your settings and data but if you have made a recent backup it should not be a lot.

I have double IDs for Itunes. How can I delete one without losing my music. Also, I want to synce my new desktop computer with my older i4s. All devices are registered to do so. However, last time I tried I almost lost all music and Itunes BARELY supp

I have double ID's for Itunes. How can I keep all my music and get rid of the ID that I do not want. It was an issue when I tried to transfer music .. I contacted Itunes and they BARELY helped me get the music back. They also would only allow me to chose one ID to replenish the music (wich was lost) to my new device. So, I chose the ID that showed more music. I am irritated that I still have 2 ID's and can't really figure out why they both have the same music. Oldest to newest purchases are shown on both id's. Also, I am afraid to sync now because they told me it was a one time deal. When docked my phone to my new computer all of the music is shown on my computer now. However not on my I phone.

I had the same problem. I solved by (I use Windows7, should be same for OSX):
1. copying the library from the older computer to the new computer, at the usual itunes media location.
2. on new computer's itunes preference (advance), uncheck the box "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library"
3. open up this folder of media copied over from old computer, just drag over to itunes library, cursor will turn into plus sign.
4. since you unchecked the box for "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library", you are in effect only growring the new computer's itunes library's database. Your media files are already under the folder on the new computer.
Now when you connect iphone to this new computer and tells you it wants to erase your iphone's library in order to sync with this one, go ahead, click yes. Why is this ok now? Because you've copied all your files over to the new computer. So when you sync again, your existing files are there on the new computer.
You should export play lists on the older computer to be imported on the new computer though.

HT4528 My iTunes says I cannot buy anything because I need to verify my security questions. I don't remember my security questions anymore and I don't remember the email password to the old email on my iTunes to change them.

I am unable to access my iTunes account to buy apps and music and stuff because it keeps saying I have to verify my security questions I made this iTunes account when I was probably 13 and I don't even remember the old email password and I change my email and I've tried sending it to my email and my recent email they keep sending to my old email and I need to somehow change that because I do not remember my security questions or my old password

How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.
This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
If that doesn't work, or there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
(If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
A new page will open.
Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
Click the blue 'Continue' button.
Select the contact option that suits your needs best.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

My iPod touch is off and wont turn on because it has the itunes logo and a usb pointing to it, so when i looked it up online, it says i have to restore it but i don't want to because i don't want to lose all my pictures. What can I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

1. After downloading the firmware from the given link, open iTunes and click on your device.
2. Now press SHIFT on your keyboard and while pressing it click on "Restore".
3. A dialog box will appear.
4. Select the firmware you downloaded and click ok.
5. Done!!! Your iPhone will now be restored to 5.1.1 and if you had backed up your iPod before, then you can put all its settings afterwards.

That is correct.
That is the price of a replacement iphone once your iphone is outside of the warranty period
