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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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 most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Why is my 4th generation ipod touch not charge? I plug it into the computer and the wall and with 2 different usb cables and its not charging. When its plugged in it shows the icon for charging but the battery never increases and it dies once i disconnect

    I have a 4th generation Ipod Touch. It has been working for months when yesterday the battery started acting werid. I was driving and it was connected with the usb charger cable to my car stereo when all the sudden my music stopped and the stereo could not recognize my ipod at all. When I got back home, I tried to charge it so it wouldnt die but even while on the charger in the wall the battery continued to die. I charged it over night (the first time I have ever charged it over night) desperately to have battery for a 4 o clock plane flight so I would have entertianment. The ipod died over night while on the charger. When I unplugged it from the usb charging cable I noticed that the icon telling me the ipod needed to be charged came up. So I plugged it back in. The charging thunder bolt symbol popped up next to the very small red strip on the left side of the battery indicating that the ipod had no charge to turn its self on. I tried plugging it in on the computer, the wall ac charger and a stereo system made just for the ipod that also pluggs into the wall. I have used 2 different cables, the result being the same that the ipod held no charge, and it wouldnt charge at all while on the charger, and it would imediately die once i take it off the charger.
    I have not idea what has happened ....
    Please help
    THanks!

    - While charging try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.  If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

    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.
    - 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.

  • My daughter bought an 4th generation ipod classic without a charger.  We are using the charger from an ipod touch and it won't charge.  Someone posted online that not all chargers will work on the classic.  Anyone else have this issue and any suggestions?

    My daughter bought a 4th generation ipod classic without a charger.  The ipod was working just fine, but then we tried to charge it using a brand new charger for an Ipod Touch.  It won't charge and someone online someone posted that there ipod touch charger worked on the ipad, phone and whatever else he had but it wouldn't work on the classic.  Anyone else have this same issue?  Any solutions?

    The ipod did not come with a power cord as we purchased it used from ebay.  The ipod was half charged when we received it and it worked well enough to transfer songs to my computer (the previous seller didn't delete their 2000 plus songs).  My son then used the same cord on his computer to transfer the songs, but processed an update to the ipod and after that,it wouldn't work.  So, I'm not sure if we received a bum ipod, an update issue or we have a charger issue, but the cord we used to transfer the songs came from my son's brand new ipod touch.  We've also tried 2 other chargers from ipods we have in the house, 1 being a wall charger. 
    One individual posted online that he took his ipod classic, mac and phone overseas with one charger and it worked fine on all but the classic.  So, I'm thinking that they cords may not be universal.  Online I've read that it must be a 6 pin firewire, high power 2.0 usb cord.  Or that I need to purchase an applie charger.  We don't live close to an apple store and I'm reluctant to order one just to have it NOT work. 
    My daughter is learning the hard way that buying off of ebay is not always the best solution to a cash strapped 12 year old.
    Any other advice is greatly appreciated.

  • My 4th generation ipod wont update without deleting all of my Media. I dont want to do that. What do I do?

    I have a 4th generation 64 gb iPod Touch. I had a laptop that it was synced with but it crashed. Everytime I try to update it pops up a messege saying "Erase all media and update". I do not want to do that. It wont even let me put more music on it. Im not sure what to do..Im scared because its a 64gb iPod i love it to death. It is all I own. How can I put music on it without deleting all of my media. Or where can I store all the media to restore later?

    I realize that, but I was just updating to the most recent software when I got an error message & now it's just showing I need to restore. Is there a way to back it up first or avoid the resetting to factory?

  • So I update the software on my 4th generation iPod and it took about ten minutes. Now the iPod won't unlock or lock properly . And it won't turn on unless plugged in. What should I do?

    So I got a software update for iPod.. Thinking it would be knowing all it would do is update my iPod so it would work better i pressed accept. I guess I screwed it up because I was using FaceTime when impressed accepted it. A second later it shut off my iPod and began the update which took about ten minutes then it turned back on so I unlock it and immediately called back my friend on FaceTime. After spending two hrs on FaceTime I ended the call and immediately noticed my iPod was acting funny. It wouldn't lock when I pressed the button and it won't take a picture of the screen when I press those two buttons. And when I pressed those two buttons together to turn in off it went straight to voice control and I was like what. It won't turn back on unless plugged in. I don't know what is wrong with it. Enyone have an idea? Please help.
    I just got this bcuz my second was beginning not to work this is a used 4th generation but I don't think it was used that long.
    Please any information would help.. Thank you

  • HT4322 4th generation ipod shuffle how do you add your playlist with the songs in the order you want

    I have a playlist with songs in the order I wish to hear them if I don't wish to have them shuffled.  I've been unable to add my playlist to my new ipod shuffle (it's absolutely no problem with my 2nd generation ipod shuffle) in the order I wish the songs to play. It's been putting the songs in by the artist name.  How do I have it add the songs in the order I have them listed on my playlist?

    Here's what I'm doing:
    When I connect the ipod to the computer, I click on  Devices showing my ipod.
    A window opens, and I click on Music. 
    Sync Music is checked, and I've checked the playlist I want.
    I then click on the Sync button at the lower right side of the Music menu.
    A display on the menu bar shows "Syncing Music to My ipod," and indicates it is copying 1 of 146 (the number of items on my playlist), and the name of the song.
    The songs are all on my playlist, but it is listing them by Genre (I just figured that out), and this is the order in which they are on the ipod.
    I guess my question at this point is how/where/what do I select to have the songs synced in the order I have them on my playlist.
    I appreciate your input.
