Help my ipod still has the screen lock on and the combo wont work

I was just testing the screen lock thing to see if it would work so i set it to my birthday and then i test it out and it wont work my combo i tired every combo so it said if u forget combo plugg it into ur computer . i plugged it in and now what? i unplugged it and its still locked . wat should i do ?

Plugging the iPod in to the computer only unlocks it until the next time you opt to lock the screen. It does not get rid of the old code that you no longer know.
The only way to get rid of the older code and be able to set a new one if desired is to restore the iPod.
To restore, connect the iPod to the computer, open the iPod updater (Start>All Programs>iPod>iPod Updater) and click restore.
Restoring will delete all the files off of your Nano, and reset all settings, including the screen lock. It will not however, change anything in your iTunes library, so after completion, simply update your iPod as normal to get your songs back on.
Then, you are free to set a new screen lock. Hopefully this time it will be one you remember.

HT5622 I've changed my Apple ID, but the iPod still insists on my old ID, and the old password no longer works, so I do I get the old ID to vanish and be able to use the new ID?

- Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into new account.
NOTE
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

I have a 3rd generation ipod, the screen is broken and the battery is dead, I wanted to know if I can get an exchange for that towards a iphone 4

I have a 3rd generation ipod that was my daughter's. The screen is broken and the battery is dead but is there any exchange programs to get her a iphone 4? Her contract for Verizon is up in March 2013 but I wanted to get her an iphone for christmas. Can anyone help me please?

There is no exchange program. If the damage was caused by the user, it also wouldn't be covered by any warranty, so your best bet is to try to sell it as is or get it fixed and then sell it or keep using it. Some resellers will accept trade ins - I know this company accepts trade ins, but it may just be Macs, not iDevices - you can check though:

If your MBP is under warranty, bring it to an Apple store and have the technicians fix it. If not, try the steps in this support article:

I am having the same problem with my ipad air but mine is so severe that it's just rebooting non stop. I guess the battery will die eventually but it has rendered the device useless. I guess I will be taking it back to apple. Very disappointed. Never had an apple product in 20yrs have such a severe problem.

How come when I try to open an app on my phone does the screen just blink and the app not open?

How come when I try to open an app on my phone does the screen just blink and the app not open?

Some apps crash. If they do, try this, in order.
1. Double click your home button and put your finger on any app and hold for a second. Then delete that app. You're not deleting the app from your phone, so don't worry. Then try opening the app again.
2. If that doesn't work, hold your sleep+home buttons for 10 seconds and don't let go. Ignore the power off message. Then try again.
3. If that doesn't work, delete the app and re-download it. (This will work most of the time)
4. If that doesn't work, download the app on iTunes on your computer and sync it from there.
5. If that doesn't work, wait for an update by the developers.
