Hi my ipod 3 g is stuck on connect to itunes once its detected it says to unlock it because it has a passcode my question is how im i suppose to  unlock it when i dont get that option ive tried holding the wake btn

hi my ipod 3 g is stuck on connect to itunes mode once connected it says to unlock  the whole thing here  it does not give me that option ive tried to hold the wake button & home that has not helped any suggestions thanks .

Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

    Try the remaining items of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 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.

    You've got three options: 1. Take your phone to an Apple store & do an out of warranty replacement...cost is US $149 ~ $229, depending on iPhone model; 2. A third-party repair shop ~US $50 or so; 3. "Try" restoring your phone in iTunes.

  • My iPod 5th gen is stuck in "Connect to Itunes/Recovery mode" mode

    My iPod 5th generation (IOS 7.0.1) is stuck in "Recovery mode".WARNING my iPod is Jailbroken.
    Prior to this happening I sent my iPod to a local Technician's shop to replace my screen witch had been slowy becoming less and less responsive.When I got it back it was stuck in recovery mode.
    I do not remember every thing I downloaded from cydia.And I honestly doubt that the Technician did anything malicious to it.
    I have tried (In no particular order)
    1.Connecting into iTunes with the official lighting cable.I then opened iTunes telling me to Update or Restore my iPod.I tried "Restore"  then iTunes downloaded IOS 8 and extracted the update it shut down my iPod then it said waiting for response and the iPod went back into recovery mode and said "Error code 21". and then tried "Update" and yet again got Error code 21. and I also went on apples solutions page for error code 21 and did everything that the page suggested me to do and it got me nowhere.
    2.Used Redsn0w's "get out of recovery mode" and my iPod then briefly shuts off and back into "Recovery mode" then tried Redsn0w's "Restore" to re-install IOS 7.0.1.Redsn0w said "Unsupported Firmware".I then tried IOS 6.0. and told me that apple isnt signing blobs
    3.I used Tiny Umbrella's "Exit Recovery" while using the TSS server.and then it shut off then turned back on to go back into "Recovery mode".I then put my iPod into DFU mode and tried "Fix Recovery" In Tiny Umbrella's log it says "Attempting to fix recovery...,Starting to fix recovery...,Fix recovery has finished,Allow device to reboot!".The entire time my iPod screen is black and I have waited for 10+ minutes and nothing happens.
    4.I tried using iTunes to recover my iPod while the iPod was in DFU mode.And still stuck in "Recovery mode".
    5.I made sure my iTunes was updated.
    6.Unplugged everything except for my mouse and tried every USB port on my computer.and in between switching tried to "Restore" still Error code 21 then tried  "Update" and my iPod and I still got Error code 21 on every attempt.
    Any response on how to fix this is greatly appreciated.

    Jailbreaking
    Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

  • Ipod touch 4G is stuck in "connect to itunes" screen.

    I just got my brand new Ipod Touch 4G (iOS 4.3.5), I connected it to my PC and put some music on it, I was using itunes 10.4.
    I update to itunes 10.5.0 and it wouldn't recognize my ipod. I searched online for solutions with no luck.
    Itunes says: "itunes was not properly install....."
    In My Computer my ipod showed as Camera Device, wouldn't let me copy  videos or pictures to the folder.
    In Device Manager, Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) has the yellow warning triangle
    I don't have a CD with the ipod software -it didn't come with it- but I downloaded iOS 4.3.4, iOS 4.3.5 and iOS 5 in case I need them.
    I updated to itunes 10.5.1 and it recogized my ipod, it said a new iOS 5 was available, so I click to update to it.
    Everything was going right, until my ipod got stuck in the "connect to itunes" screen, and it didn't restore. (error 1604)
    Some times (with no reason at all) itunes would recognize my ipod and say "itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. you must restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes" I click OK, Restore and Update, it takes  some time and then, "error 1604"
    I've been searching online, but nothing works, I've tried these:
    -Putting the ipod in DFU mode, it would restart the ipod but the same screen will come up.
    -I uninstall, verified and reinstall itunes and its components (itunes, QT, Apple Software Update, AMDS, Bonjour, Apple Application Support)
    -Restart a million times my pc after installing.
    -downloaded fixrecovery.exe but it won't even start because zlib1.dll was not found.
    -downloaded RecBoot and it says "I must install the following .NET framework: v4.0.30319" -How do I know what framework I have???
    inside the RecBoot folder was the program iPHUCWIN32.exe, I started it and it says "this application has failed to start because iTunesMobileDevice.dll was not found".
    *Note:
    My HP Pavilion G60-235DX Notebook won't let me install updates from the Windows Update software (error 80096001). for a while now.
    The DVD/CD drive dissapeared from my computer (about 2 months ago), haven't found a solution for it yet (can't afford to take it to a repair shop or send to HP) that's why I'm trying myself.
    I want a solution for the IPOD problem, the rest will come later.
    Seriously guys, can some one help me with this? I'm desperated...
    Any good software to restore my ipod ? (I don't care about erasing all the content -I want it to work like it supposed to).

    I connected my ipod to another pc with windows vista also, with itunes ver. 10.4.1.10 but error 3194 came out, so now I'm going to try this:
    Exit iTunes
    Locate your hosts file:
    In Mac OS X /etc/hosts
    In Windows c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
    Open the hosts file with Administrator privileges using Notepad.
    Add the following lines to the very bottom of the hosts file:
    #74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com
    Connect your device to the computer
    Launch iTunes
    Put device into DFU Mode by turning your device off and then holding down the sleep and power button for 10 seconds, then release the power button but hold onto the home button until iTunes tells you that the device is now in recover mode
    Use the iTunes Restore feature as usual with the iOS device
    Once your iOS update is finished, remove the “#74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com” line from your hosts file again so that iTunes can properly update as usual.

  • IPod Touch 4th gen stuck in connect to itunes mode

Now my iPod is stuck on the "Connect to iTunes" screen and is not being recognized by iTunes: "iTunes could not connect to this iPod because an uknown error occured (0xE8000022)."

  • Ipod touch 1st generation stuck in connect to itunes mode what do i do?????

    hey,
    ive tried everything,
    i cant put it in recovery because i have a passcode...
    itunes says to enter the password.. but how can i when its on that screen...
    it wont even let me go in restore mode in itunes...
    this is really annoying and i have really old pics on the device
    please help

    Did you follow the instructions here for placing the iPod in recovery mode:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    I do not understand this statement: "i cant put it in recovery because i have a passcode..." since placing the iPod in recovery mode is how you allow a restore.

  • IPhone stuck at "connect to iTunes" and not detected

    Hey all,
    Last night I tried to update to the new OS. While doing so there was an error with the installation and now my phone is stuck at the "connect to iTunes" logo. When it is plugged in, its not detected by iTunes so I can't restore. I've checked my Device Manager and the phone is indeed detected and installed properly on my computer. I've tried entering DFU mode but that hasn't gotten it detected either. People have been saying just leave it plugged in so I did overnight. Its been 6 hours now and I'm pretty upset. Anyone have any ideas?

    Try connecting to a different USB port, a different sync cable, or a different computer.

  • How can I view a Word document  when it tells me that someone else is using the document? This is not true as I am the only one using this Word document which is on my desktop?

    I am working on my Ancestry and today when I tried to view my Word document which awaits me on my desktop, I was told that someone else was using it. There is only me to use it, so there couldn't be anyone else. What can I try to open this document again?

    Hi,
    If you want to move the document to other library immediately, the following workarounds for your reference:
    1.Create an Event Receivers for document library and use SPFile.MoveTo
    method to move file to the other document library.

    2.Create a workflow using SharePoint designer and use Copy List Item Action to copy file, then delete the current document.

  • WiFi cut out during update and iPod 4th gen is stuck on connect to iTunes screen

    I was updating the iOS and I think the WiFi cut out and messed it up. This has happened before and supoort helped me fix it, but im not paying 20 dollars for them to help again...

    Connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    Then restore from backup
    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
