Every time I try to restore my ipod it downloads the software then it says its processing it, then it says it cant download it right now.  Is there any other way to unlock a locked ipod touch without the lockcode?

My son can't remember his passcode for his iPod touch and for some reason every time I try to restore it, the software gets updated and it starts processing it then it says there was an error and to try again later.  Later, it still does and says the same thing.  Is there any other way to unlock it without the passcode?

The only way to clear off the passcode is to restore the device.  You could always try the restore process on another computer that has iTunes just to get the iPod working again, then you could plug it back into your comptuer to sync all of his content back on the iPod.

  • TS1368 don't have PC right now - is there any other way to synch my iPod with iTunes?

    This is likely a dumb question but I need to ask...
    I am in between PC's, meaning I don't currently have a home computer (actually looking to purchase a MacBook but not for another 1-2 months).  I want to synch my iPod with the music we've been purchasing via my iPad. 
    I am figuring it is possible to go to a friend's house and use their computer to access my iTunes account and synch...is there any other way?  Just asking, just in case...
    Thanks so much!

    I have an i phone 4 and my screen is locked I can't remember the code is ther any other way to unlock it

    I think you can fix by plugging it in and restore plus back up. Go to apple.com to see if there would be another way.

  • HT3964 Is there any other way to turn on a macbook air without using power button?

    Hi everyone
    I think I somehow spilled some water on the keyboard or something and now the power button does not respond. I see that the bettery is fully charged as the LED light indicates green. Now, is there any other way to turn on the computer without using powerbutton?

    Nor would you want to try to turn it on under these circumstances. If the logic board is salvagable, and the damage is now only limited to the keyboard, then putting power to the logicboard could cause a catastophic short circuit and render the whole MBA a lost cause..
    Immediately take it in to an Authorized Service Center or Apple Store Genius Bar to ascertain the damage and potential for repairability.

  • Why apple doesn't allow the users just to add more photos from our pcs instead of requiring us to re-sync the existing albums? I can't sync additional photos cause I have my pc  reformatted. =( is there any other way to add these photos? please help me.

    I can't sync additional photos cause I have my pc  reformatted. =( is there any other way to add these photos? please help me. these existing photos are very important to me. ='((

    Apple has not saidwhy they did it that way and it is against the terms of this forum to speculate on the reasons. It says not to:
    "Discussions of Apple policies or procedures or speculation on Apple decisions."
    The are third-party programs like TouchCopy that I think will allow you to do what you want.  You can import photos via DropBox.  The third-party programs will I know allow you to transfer the photos to your "new" computer.

  • I haven't installed "Find My iPod" but Is there any other way I can find my iPod touch?

    I didn't Install "Find My iPod" and I now cannot find my iPod touch..
    Is there any way that I may be able to find it?
    Have turned house upside down and called every store I went into on the day - still no luck ):
    would really appreciate your help!

    Just the old fashioned way, like if you lost your wallet.
    Apple will not help.
    If it is in your home and wifi is on and connected you can call it with FaceTime, Skype or other app that will play a notification sound and listen for it.
    Report to police and change the passwords for all account used on the iPod

  • Every time i try to load an application - I receive a note my credit card is declined.  How do i resolve this problem?  It won't take any other card?

    I would like to know what I need to do so I can use my iphone applications.  It won't take my credit card number or any other card?

    I assume that by "load" you mean "install from applestore"?
    If you do then there is a whole tomelike memo that Apple has for credit cards.  For instance you now can't use gift or vanilla prepaid cards anymore.  But that's probably not your problem here.  Maybe if you could offer a little more info as to where in the Apple maze this is happening?  And are you unable to use your applications (the ones you have successfully installed)?
    It sounds like a pretty obscure problem if you can't "load" (start? maybe) the applications that you've already downloaded from Applestore and are installed.  Is this the case or can you be a bit more specific and exact in your terminology?
    And have you previously, successfully installed Applestore apps on the very device you are now are having this problem on?  I have had numerous problems with credit cards, authorization and accounts so I may be able to help.  Apple is so unthinkably unthinking when they mesh with the real world that even just one hair out of place can bring you to a grinding halt with no clue as to why.
    Be more specific and detailed and I'll hang in with you if I can help.  Frustrating isn't it?

  • TS4006 Is there any other way to find a lost ipod touch if it is offline? I have tried icloud and Find My iPod.

    Is there anything else I can do to find my lost, perhaps even stolen, ipod touch? I have already tried icloud and Find My Ipod app but it says my device is offline.

    Nope.
    If the device is off then you can't track it.

  • Is there any other way to unlock my rotation than swiping up on an iphone 4?

    My iphone screen has stopped working on the bottom half, and I need to unlock the rotation so I can send text messages etc. Because the bottom of my screen is not working, I cannot swipe up to unlock it. Can I find this button in settings or any where else?

    Control Center is the only place this setting appears in. There is no other section in Settings, and in earlier iOS it only appeared when you double-tapped on the home button.

  • I found my brother's old 1st generation iPod. An unknown error 1442 keeps appearing every time I try to restore the iPod.

    Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

  • Im getting error 14 every time i try to restore my ipod touch,any  fixs?

    im getting error 14 every time i try to restore my ipod touch? anyone know how to fix this?
    i have itunes 9 and this problem started when i bought the new itouch software. i have alreay tried deleting itunes then re-installing it.

    Well, the problem isn't the back up because I already have a backup saved that I can restore from, I honestly don't know how, but I do, and it has all my apps. The problem is restoring it. I keep getting the "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod "King". A duplicate file name was specified. With my 3G iPod touch, I did not have it named as "King". I had it as another name. I don't know if that helps, but as I said before, Backup-wise I'm okay for now. Restore-wise I'm not.
    NOTE: Reinstalling iTunes doesn't help.
