Accidentally locked iPod nano. How do I unlock it w/o knowing code? Not even resetting it works.

When I turn my iPod on, it asks me for a combination for the lock - but I don't even remember setting a lock. How do I make it go away? I tried resetting it, but that doesn't even work.
Please help. Thank you.

Your only option is to connect the iPod to your iTunes library and restore it to factory settings.

  • I accidentally press Off  the Backlight in my 3rd generation  iPod Nano, how can I turn On the Backlight again?

    I accidentally press Off the Backlight in my 3red generation iPod Nano, how can I turn it On again? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

    What do you mean you turned off the backlight?  How did you do that?
    Have you tried a hard reset to see if that takes care of it?  To this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • My Ipad is in a locked rotation.  How can I unlock it?  carolynmunson

    My Ipad is in a locked rotation.  How can I unlock it?  carolynm.

    Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Hello Norman,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. To find out what the Other section is on your iPod Nano, the following will explain what the Other section is all about.
    Understanding capacity on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1867
    Once that is complete, then check the appropriate sections to see what is there. If you cannot isolate the issue then you may need to restore the iPod Nano. The following will assist with the restore process.

  • ITunes 11.1.5 won't sync podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano--how do I fix this?

    iTunes 11.1.5 won't sync podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano--how do I fix this?
    Until a few months ago, my iTunes had no problem syncing podcasts to my 6th gen ipod nano. Since an update in the iTunes software version (not sure which version), iTunes just won't sync podcasts to the nano. No other changes have occured and only podcasts are affected.
    What's going on? How do I fix this?

    I had the same problem with my nano when I updated to itunes 11.1.5. It seems that the update does not transfer all of your podcast download preferences. Open itunes, select "Podcasts" from the drop down box in the upper left of the screen. The next screen will give you an option to select "My Podcasts" (top center). This will bring up a list of your podcasts on the left. Right click on one and select "podcast settings". This brings up a settings box on the upper right (this is a new variation) with your current download settings for that podcast. The download setting on mine had defaulted to "off" on all of my podcasts. I just reset them to "all episodes" and all is good.
    Hope this helps.

    If it has been Disabled after entering the wrong passcode - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
    Unfortunately, you must restore it in iTunes on your computer.   There is no way to retrieve a forgotten pass lock code.
    You will need to Restore your device from the same computer that you most recently synced to. See - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

  • I bought a secondhand ipod nano, how can i remove the contents

    i bought a secondhand ipod nano, how can i remove the contents

    Connect the iPod Nano to your own iTunes library and restore it to factory settings.  This process wipes all content from the device, resets all settings back to their defaults, and reloads a fresh copy of the iPod's firmware onto the device.

    Try this.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT1339 after restoring ipod nano how do I get tunes back if they are in my music library

    after restoring ipod nano how do I get tunes back if they are in my music librbary- thanks

    Configure the music to sync back over to your device from under its Music configuration tab.  If your library is smaller than the capacity available on your Nano, you can set it to sync your entire music library by enabling the Sync Entire Library option from under this tab. Otherwies, you'll have to select only certain artists, albums, playlists, and genres.
