Help!!!  I'm locked out and My Ipod touch will NOT go into recovery mode no matter what I do...I haven't read this problem anywhere!

My grandson got his little hands on my ipod and has locked me out. I now get the red lable of doom and it tells me I must connect to Itunes to fix it.  Problem is I don't have the orginal computer I synced up with. (It crashed about 5 weeks ago).  Well I didn't think that would be that big of a deal becuase I have a lot of junk on my Ipod and had been thinking about re-formating it anyway.  Well I've tried every method out there and I can not get this thing into recovery. I powered it off. unplugged the usb cord from the Ipod but left it plugged into the computer. Held down the Home button and plugged in the USB cord. the little apple logo comes up. Then after about 10 secs it goes right to the disabled screen.
I also tried it on different computers and tried different usb cords, I've tried also going into DFU mode...nothing it just goes right to the password screen...HELP...I've not read about this problem anywhere.

  • IPod touch disabled, cannot get into recovery mode or unlock to enter passcode.

    I've got an 8GB iPod touch that is disabled, cannot be unlocked, and it will not go into recovery mode. When I plug it into iTunes, it says "iTunes could not connect to the iPod touch because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPod touch before it can be used with iTunes." At the top is a red banner that says "iPod is disabled connect to iTunes" and it won't let me unlock it to enter a passcode and I've tried the recovery mode where you plug it in when powered off holding the home button, but I guess the iPod isn't updated enough for it to work (doesn't look like the new Apple OS) because when I do that, it just powers on like normal. What do I need to do because I'm definitely at a stopping point. Please help me get this iPod into working condition.

    Try Recovery Mode again. Timing is critical so it may not have been done correctly the first time. Detailed instructions at: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

  • My ipod touch 4 put itself into recovery mode

    My ipod touch 4 put itself into recovery mode and when i plugged it in it asked me restore it, i clicked restore and it extracted the software then crashed, leaving it with no software. i then gave it to my nearest apple store and the guy said it cant be fixed telling me it was a hardware problem. Any suggestions as to what it could be and if it can be fixed? I really appreciate it

    iTunes? The whole computer?

  • IPod touch 1st gen goes into recovery mode after shut down or lock

    Alright, so I bought a used iPod touch 1st gen from a friend. It was working fine for a few weeks until it started shutting off and going into recovery mode when I locked or turned it off. When off, half of the times I can do a hard reatart and hold the home and hold buttonsand it will turn on. The other times it will just come up with a white screen. When I plug it into my computer, it says it has to be restored. And this is an ongoing loop that I cannot seem to fix. I looked up my serial number and it says it's out of warranty.
    So my first question is, is there anyway I personally can fix this problem, or do I have to take it to Apple? My second question is, what are their policies on iPods that were bought used from someone else? And is there a way for me to get a warranty on it to get it repaired if I can't fix it myself or do I have to pay full price on replacement or repairs?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Did you let iTunes restore it? Has the problem continued? The article below discusses how to put your iPod into a recovery mode so you can fix it.

    As to your warranty, you no longer have one. Apple will, for a fee, repair your iPod if it needs repairing. There are independent shops who can do it as well - just Google them.

  • I live in UK but I am on vacation in DR and my iPod touch will not let me access the internet, I am connected to a wi-fi connection. It did work when I arrived

    I can connect to Skype but not facebook, emails or safari. the error message says 'Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding'.
    can anyone help me?

    - First try resetting the iPod.  Nothing will belost:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next reset network setting: Settings>Genera>Reset>Reset Network Settings

  • IPod Touch is disabled, won't connect to iTunes and will not go into recovery mode.

    Hello! I had lost my iPod touch for several months and finally found it. However, I didn't remember the passcode. Now it's disabled and says to connect to iTunes. iTunes is saying that I must enter in the passcode before it can connect. I tried following apple's instructions on putting it in recovery mode, but when the home button is held down, only the apple logo appears until the disabled screen comes up again.
    Any suggestions?

    Try DFU mode.

  • My iPod touch won't go into recovery mode

    I have a first generation iPod touch, with a slightly broken home button (I have to press it really hard to work).I had just erased the memory off of it, and it had rebooted. As it starts up, it keeps getting stuck on a screen with an Apple logo, wth a loading circle below. The circles spins for a few seconds and then stops.  I have tried hard reset (home and power button). I have also tried home and power button for ten seconds, and then just home button for ten seconds. I have tried that numerous times, while in iTunes, and while out of it. I really need some help, as it has no warranty left, so I cannot return it.
    Thanks in return,
    P.S I really would apprecciate any help.

  • My iPod touch is not turning into landscape mode on the left side

    It works when I turn it to the right, but not the left. I also can't turn it back into portrait mode when I'm done. I've tried rebooting it, and the accelometer seems to be working in an app such as Emoji Free, where I tilt the device to move the Emoji.

    Without knowing what you actually tried:
    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
