Can you back up an iPod without putting in the passcode?
I dropped my iPod and now i can't control the screen. I want to back it up to my computer, but it says there's a passcode and I need to enter it before I can back it up. One problem, I can't control the screen. Can you back it up without the passcode, or am i screwed?
No, you can't. But you can connect it to your computer and iTunes to try doing a backup.

How can you turn on an ipod without a homebotton
How can you turn on an iPod without a home button?
Try:

Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot tip
RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:
Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
Installs blootware on PC too
- 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 another cable
- 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.

Can you trade in a ipod and put 300 dollers more on it and buy a ipad
can you trade in a ipod and put 300 dollers more on it and buy a ipad
Not likely...you will probably do better selling the iPod on something like eBay or Craigslist, take the money and add what you need to by the iPad.
Apple stores do not normally do trades for equipment. -
I'm trying to backup my iphone and restore it because the screen has gone black. It won't allow me to do anything without putting in the passcode. I can't put in the passcode because the screen is black.
Try rebooting it (hold home and power together for 15-20 seconds). If the display doesn't come back to life, you're out of luck. You're supposed to back it up before it fails. It's too late to do so after the fact.

Can You Find A Stolen ipod without using icloud?
can you track an ipod using anything else but icloud ?
hellokitty3 wrote:
pawn shops do it all the time to see if the device is stolen
Since the pawn shops have the device in their hands, they have no need to try and track it, which again is not possible unless Find My iPod was set up. As Philly_Phan said, all the pawn shops do is check the serial number against stolen property lists.

How can you back up your ipod onto your external hard drive that you're using in time machine?
I just bought an external hard drive and want to put my ipod music on it but can't figure out how. My ipod has music that my itunes library on my computer doesn't have. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I would also suggest you get a 2nd, much larger hard drive, partition it if desired, move your data to it, and start a 2nd Time Machine backup on it. You can set Time Machine to alternate between the 2 drives by adding the new drive to System Preferences/Time Machine. If you want to make a copy of your current backup on the new drive, you can do that using the Disk Utility Restore tab. If you chose to do that, make the copy first since using the Restore tab erases all data on the drive or the partition.

Can you input data into Ipod without a computer?
Just Wondering if a keyboard or some kind of device was made to input data directly on the ipod. That would be really useful. Let me know if any of you know anything about it.
Cheers!

PLEASE HELP.
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. -
dear apple, can you please tell me how to put my 'x' key back onto the computer properly without giving me an answer which will make me want to buy a pc like 'we WILL only replace the entire keyboard'?
My profile does say level 1 (0 points) quite obviously pointing out i am a noob at this, although i did try to correct myself in the previous responce to **macbook.
I am confused why you think i havn't answerd michaels question though. 'I assure you the keyboard or the joining parts aren't broken and if it isn't broken i dont feel the need to replace it. '- that was me in the first responce explaining why im not buying a new one, answering the very question he asked. -
Can you reset a forgotten password without losing all data on an iPod touch
How can you reset a forgotten password without losing all data.
You have to restore from the computer to which it is synced. Everything on the ipod should be on the computer so it can be put back on the ipod after restore.

i have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
