After update to iOS 4.2.1, iPod is asking for passcode. what is it?!

I have never set any security on my iPod Touch. But I have just updated to iOS 4.2.1 and, after the update completed, my iPod is now asking for a passcode when I "slide to unlock". What is the default passcode?!

snakes527 did you notice that the post is about 3 1/2 years old? The poster already said that he got it working. Also, most posters never mark their post as solved.
Further, there was no FindMyiPod in iOS 4.2.11

Hello hart.mut,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post it appears you have enabled the passcode lock on your iPad. To learn more about using a passcode and what to do if you forget a passcode, please see the article linked to below.

I am unable to update ios new version as it is asking for passcode. I am trying to submit the password, it is not accepting on my iphone5S

Currently using iOS 7.1.1
For longtime trying to update to 7.1.2
I am unable to install it, as it is asking me for Passcode.
Is passcode different from my Apple ID Password?
I tried to put the pass word, it gives me failure notification
Because of this also changed Apple ID Pass word recently

The Passcode is NOT the password for your Apple ID, the Passcode is the four digit number you enter to unlock your phone after it has auto locked.

After update to 10.9 Why does mail always ask for password when opening

I have updated my iMac to 10.9 and now every time I open Mail, I have to type in my password. Does anyone know why or how to fix?

In the iCloud pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked Mail and check it again.

Hello jrobbertse,
I use the search feature in Messages often, and I would be concerned if it wasn't working as well. I found some steps you can take to help resolve this issue:
Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone
The article is for a frozen and unresponsive iPhone, so the step to recharge the iPhone is not relevant to you. All the other steps in the article would apply to your situation though. Before you go through the step to "Restore iPhone," you should definitely back up the contents of your iPhone:

How Come, after updating to ios 6 iPhoto no longer supports photo streaming What happened?

How Come, after updating to ios 6 iPhoto no longer supports photo streaming? What happened?

You probably just need to re-enable Photo Stream. It's not clear what the difference is, but there is an option to enable Photo Stream (as well as Shared Photo Stream) in both the iCloud Settings and the Photos & Camera Settings.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

Is it still possible to downgrade from ios 6 to ios 5.1.1 on my ipod touch 4th gen as of Sept.24?Also, if I use a backup created AFTER updating to ios 6 when I restore/downgrade to ios 5.1.1, does it become ios 6 again because of the backup?

There has never been a legit way to downgrade.
It will always restore to the latest available software.

After updating to iOS 6.1.5 on my iPod Touch 4th Gen, some of my songs are skipping to the next song after 30 seconds even though the iPod appears to be playing the current song. Some of my songs are mp3 files that have been playing fine for years...
Anybody else experiencing this issue?
I'm using the latest version of iTunes and i don't have that problem on my PC. The only difference as far as i can tell is the updated iOS & firmware...

Yes, other have. If the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer
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 music 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.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPod touch 5 battery problem after updating to iOS 8

After updating to iOS 8, my iPod touch 5 at approximately 40% is turning off because he ran out of power. The battery indicator is not showing properly the battery state. Is there a way to solve this?

You are not alone
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

After updating to iOS 6 my iPod Touch 4th.Gen is virtually unusable ... does anyone know how to sue Apple since they gave no warning about iOS 6 being for iPad optimisation and a killer for iPods ?

After updating to iOS 6 my iPod Touch 4th.Gen is virtually unusable ... does anyone know how to sue Apple since they gave no warning about iOS 6 being for iPad optimisation and a killer for iPods ? Before I throw away my iPod Touch does anyone know if Apple intends to rectify their obnoxious disregard for iPod users by issuing another 'upgrade' which will allow iPods to work without the constant system crashes that iOS 6 has caused ?

Contact a lawyer if you want to sue.
Otherwise try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
