Forgot passcode; Can't restore iPod?
I locked myself out of my iPod, and since this has happened before I just decided to restore it as I usually do. However, iTunes is telling me that I can't restore my iPod until I turn off Find My iPod in the iPod's settings. I can't exactly do that, considering I'm locked out of it. Is there any way to turn it off, or just restore it anyway?
iOS 7 beta 6 on an iPod 5th gen, if that helps at all.
You say you have iOS 7. If you are a developer you have access to the private OS 7 developer's forum
iOS 7 Developer forum- Apple Developer
Otherwise you are on your own
PSA: iOS 7 If you're not a developer, don't install developer betas on your iPhone | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog
You ran into one of anti-theft features in iOS 7

My friend found his old ipod touch 4. He charged it up, and it says "disabled" and i cant restore it on itunes without his password which he forgot. Can I restore it without the password.
Disabled
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.

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:

Can not restore ipod touch. About 167MB of 346,8MB get loaded than download stops, a few minutes later: ERROR 3259! ( High Speed Internet Connection 16000kBits/sec)
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software. -

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.

HT201412 Can't restore iPod 4th gen, HELP!!!
Hi! I can't restore my iPod 4th gen. because it will not show up under "devices" on iTunes! I plug my iPod into my computer, and a little stop sign comes up telling me my iPod is locked with a passcode and needs to be unlocked. Heres the catch: my iPod has a erratic/unresponsive touch screen! I can't shut it down or unlock it! So ultimately the devices column does NOT show up. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRICIATED!
-S.A.What what are you trying to do with the N9

Can't restore iPod classic 60GB video. Cannot Allocate Memory - Disk Utility
Sorry if this has been asked before but I've been searching the boards and am yet to find a result.
I have an old iPod classic 60GB (video) which has a dodgy HDD. It was clicking and in a constant sad face/charging loop. I've managed to get it display "Please restore iPod" message and it is now being recognised by my macbook. I've tried to restore it via iTunes but when I try that I get an error message tht says "The iPod could not be restores because it is busy".
I've tried toformat the iPod using Disk Utility too but i get an error:
Disk Erase failed with the error:
POSIX reports: The operation couldn’t be completed. Cannot allocate memory
The oddest thing is that under disk utility my iPod drive is showing up as a 2TB drive:
All I'm realy trying to do is restore the iPod so I can try to recover some of the tracks using Disk Drill. Can anybody help?See if you can find a window based PC and try to do a Restore there.

Can't Restore Ipod...error message
I presume I need to restore my 5th gen Ipod as I can't sync it with itunes. However I also can't restore it.
I get a 1418 error message, also had a -50 error message too.
It has worked once since i got it, i synced it with a mates computer. But I can't get it to sync with my new comp at all.
This is very frustrating as i've not been albe to use it at all. Its just a pretty external hard drive at the mo!
I take it formatting it with windows would be a very bad idea?I HAVE A 20G IPOD THAT IS 1YEAR AND 10 MONTHS OLD. IT WILL NOT RESTORE ANYLONGER AND SHOWS THE SAD IPOD ICON. I WANTED TO SEND IT IN FOR REPAIRS BUT BECAUSE IT IS PAST THE 1 YEAR WARRANTY ALL IPOD WILL DO FOR ME IS SELL ME A REFURBISHED IPOD FOR $271.94. IPOD SHOULD RECALL THE IPODS THAT ARE FREEZING AND SKIPPING SONGS THAT ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO BE RESTORED. I CANNOT FIND ANYONE TO REPAIR MY IPOD OTHER THAN APPLE JUST WANTING ME TO BUY A REFURBISHED ONE THAT COSTS ABOUT $30 LESS THAN THE BRAND NEW ONE I BOUGHT 1YEAR AND 10 MONTHS AGO. I AM VERY DISSAPPOINTED WITH APPLE IPOD AND I WILL NOT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS AGAIN.

Can't restore iPod in Windows XP
Hey everybody,
I just had my iPod replaced and now have a newly restored monochrome iPod c/w in front of me. It came with instructions stating that it had been formatted for Mac, and that I would need to use the updater to get it ready for my PC.
So, despite all the crap I have heard about iTunes 5.0 I downloaded it along with the latest updater. Both installs went fine.
According to the instructions included I was to install the updater, run it, plug in my iPod, then click RESTORE when the software detected the iPod and bolded the RESTORE button.
All this happens just as the instructions say but after I click RESTORE a message appears saying, "Can't lock iPod. Please check if any other applications are using iPod and try again."
Obviously I am not so stupid as to run iTunes when I do this and I don't know what else could be using my iPod...any one know how to get around this?
P.S. The iPod is currently mounted as a removable USB mass storage device in Windows. Could this be part of the problem (is MicroCrap Windows XP Pro using my iPod in the background)?Not that it matters but after a couple of reboots/unplug-replug sessions I got passed that error and now it just says "Firmware update failure. Disk write error." which seems to be what everyone else is getting with the latest software from Apple...***?!?!?
