While restoring the factory settings on my 7th gen iPod classic, my computer blue-screened. Now, my iPod just keeps continually restarting and cannot be recognized by my computer or iTunes.

Is there a way I can make my iPod stop restarting and be recognized by my computer so I can continue to use it?

Hello GraceSchaff
Try putting your iPod Classic into Disk Mode and then in iTunes click restore when it shows up to take care of that process again.

HT1212 My daughter changed her passcode and can't remember it. We had not done a back-up in a while so I'm not sure what to do. Should I restore the factory settings?

How to restore the factory settings

The ap 3502i has been registered to the wireless controller, but now want to restore the factory settings, repeated after the upgrade or will appear before the registration information of the wireless controller, the problem how to solve
thanks

Two other ways besides what scott metnioned:
1. Through the MODE button:
- Power off the AP.
- While keeping the MODE button pressed, power on the AP.
- Still keep the MODE button pressed until the Status LED turns to red and then release it:
2. Via installing the recovery image:
- Download the recovery image for 3500 from Cisco site.
- on AP Console write the command "Debug capwap console cli".
- Then write the commadn "Archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp:///"

I've added to ios6 to my new ipod touch with no problems. I'm trying to now restore the factory settings but the screen is frozen with an itunes sign and lead pointing towards it. The ipod won't even switch off. Can anyone help as it's driving me crazy

I've added ios6 to my new ipod but tried then to restore the factory settings. It won't extract any settings and the itunes then tells me that the server cannot be reached or is unavailable. I've been trying all day. Now the ipod has a itunes sign and a computer lead pointing towards it on the screen and this is frozen. It won't switch off or do anything else. Any ideas as this is now driving me crazy.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Is there anyway to reset ipad passcode without having to restore the factory settings?

My little brother has locked himself out of his ipad. Although I am aware we can restore the factory settings he would very much like to save his photos.
The ipad has never been synced or backed up.

To restore your iDevice, you have two options.
1. Plug into iTunes and select your device and click restore.
2. On your iPhone, go to Settings>General>Reset, and click which one you would like to use.
If your device is locked up and you can't get into it,
1. Open iTunes
2. Power Down your Device
3 hold down your home button and plug in the device to the computer at the same time
4. Keep holding until your device shows the Plug into iTunes image.
5. On iTunes, click restore
Wait for the device to restore to factory settings and your done!

My computer won't allow me to restore the factory settings.What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to restore my computer to the factory settings, but it won't allow me to erase everything from the hard drive. It won't even allow me to delete me as a user. What am I doing wrong?

You can't erase a volume while booted from it. Start up from the installation DVD, erase the volume, and reinstall.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all media and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Can anyone help me!!! i have an i pod touch and the 4 digit passcode has been forgotten. i have tried a number of times to restore the factory settings on i tunes and have put the i pod into recovery mode, but attempts keep timing out

my son has forgotten his 4 digit pass code for hios i pod touch. i have been instructed to disable it and connect to i tunes to restore factory settings. when I do this the download time is anything up to 20 hours and it keeps timing out. it is now saying that i tunes cannot connect to the i pod because it is locked with a passcode and saying that i must enter the passcode - can anyone help?

- To get around the passcode issue, place the iPod in recovery mode. For how to see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- If you are getting a network timeout error during the restore, disable the computer's security software during the restore.

HT2731 how do i restore the factory settings on ipod?

daugther put her password wrong 3 times. now blocked how do i restore factory settings?

If it's showing the red disabled screen then you will need to connect it to the computer that it's normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPod and restore/re-sync the content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPod into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

Is it possible to restore the factory settings just for the internet?

I am a student and I was having trouble logging in at my university. I called IT and they had me change all sorts of things under System Preferences - Network. They had me add a location and set the IP address manually. Now I am having trouble getting online anywhere else. I just want the network settings to be how they were when I got the computer 3 months ago and my ability to access technical support from apple just ended on Nov. 30 so I would really appreciate anyone's help.
Thanks!
Arielle

Just tried this and it worked for me. Go into Network preferences and click the lock to allow you to make changes. Hit the minus key to delete all your different accounts. Once they are all gone you can add what you need back I usually use airport so that is the only one I brought back on line.

I just updated my ipod touch and now I get a message that it's in recovery mode and I have to restore the factory settings., I just updated my ipod touch and now I get a message that it's in recovery mode and I have to restore the factory settings.

Will I have to restore the device?

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Here's how to:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your ipod to your computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
