After restoring my ipod touch to factory settings, can we recover old apps and songs

We forgot the password to the iPod touch, when we went to restore the iPod to factory setting, it told us after it was complete that it would give us an options whether or not we wanted to apps/songs/contacts back. The problem is after the iPod got restored to factory settings, we never got the option to download the old stuff again.. Is there any way we can recover that or is it just gone?

Be sure to read the article about what to do when you forget a restrictions passcode.

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

    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.

    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:

    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.

  • I want to restore my iPod touch to factory settings, How do I get the music that I didn't purchase ( I got it from my mom) back to my ipod?

    I don't have a CD place on my laptop, so I can't get any of my music, and none of it is in my library. I really want my music so I can get it back easily on my ipod.

    You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here to copy from iPod to computer.

  • Restoring iPod touch to factory settings

    I am trying to restore my ipod touch to factory settings.  It's 32G and about 75% full.  It's been going since yesterday afternoon and I can't even turn it off.  Is it normal?  What do I do?

    I'm not familiar with that function.  To my knowledge you must do it from the computer.  However, your unit is hung up.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • I restored my ipod to original factory settings, now it won't work

    After restoring my ipod to original factory settings (to solve a problem of some of my songs that wouldn't play) I tried to put all of the songs on itunes back onto my ipod. Now, itunes is giving me this message saying it can't read my ipod and that I should restore it again. I can't restore it again becuase my itunes won't acknowledge that my ipod is plugged in or anything. Is there another way to restore it?

    Is this the error message that you see?
    "Disk cannot be read from or written to" error syncing iPod in iTunes.
    If nothing else works, you could try a format of the iPod in Windows. A full format does a check and remap of bad sectors on the iPod hard drive, and you would need to restore the iPod as normal (using the iPod updater) afterward. This can also work when the iPod is recognized by the computer, but not by the updater. It's usually a last ditch troubleshooting effort.
    First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
    See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
    On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and that "quick format" is not checked. Now select "format". It will take a while, but when that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater.
    If you need to, reset the iPod to exit disk mode.

  • How the **** do I restore my grandaughter's ipod touch to factory settings? Please help. I have tried the itunes thing and it just goes in circles!!

    Can anyone out there please tell me how to restore my grandaughter's ipod touch to factory settings?  Her mother has it blocked to her name. omg
    <Edited By Host>

    I had the same problem a few days ago - just let it keep circling as it will eventually stop.  Make sure it's plugged into the computer and walk away.  Check on it periodically and do whatever the stupid thing says to do.  I think mine "circled" about 5 times before it finally worked. . .

  • HT1766 After restoring my iphone 4 to factory settings, then restoring from a recent backup, my phone will reboot but keeps coming back to the "new setup or restore from backup screen". How can I by-pass this screen to go directly to the sync apps/music s

    After restoring my iphone 4 to factory settings, then restoring from a recent backup, my phone will reboot but keeps coming back to the "new setup or restore from backup screen". How can I by-pass this screen to go directly to the sync apps/music screen?

    Well, it's certainly behaving as though the phone that was backed up was synced to a different iTunes library.
    I'm going to throw one more thing out there... Yes, you backed it up to this computer... Was the phone previously set up to sync with this computer? Or was it syncing with a different computer and you just backed it up to this one?
    You may have to end up setting it up as a new device and rebuilding the phone by manually re-syncing your data, apps, music, etc. to the phone.
    Trying to keep your library on a different drive can be tricky. If iTunes starts up and the library isn't available, it may end up generating a new library ID, meaning that you could easily find yourself in exactly the position you're in now...
    I'm curious why there was a need to restore your phone to begin with... It may not have any bearing on this at all, but it could.
