How can I get into my ipod 5th generation if I forgot my passcode?

Forgotten Screen-Lock Passcode
Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
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   
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • HT1414 How can I get into my iPod Touch when its disabled because I forgot the password?

    Hi,
    My name is Amanda Davis and my daughter, Sydney Davis, got an iPod Touch. A few days ago, she changed her password to what she thought was her name, but instead she changed to something else and she can't get into it. She tried to put her password in it and it locked her out every single time. Now it is disabled.

    1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

  • HT4865 if I forgot my screen lock out password how can I get into my ipod

    I forgot my screen lock out pass code on my ipod can i get into it??

    Back it up and restore it using iTunes on the last computer it was synced with.  At the end of the restore process, when the iPod restarts and reappears in iTunes you will be given the option to restore to the backup you made at the beginning.  When it finishes, the passcode will be removed.
    This will only work if you have previously synced with iTunes after setting the passcode on your device.

    how do i get into my ipad if i do not know passcode and i dont want to erase the data i have on it

    Hello Mariemonkey82
    Follow the steps in the article below to put your iPad into recovery-mode so that iTunes can restore it.
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
    Regards,

  • HT201441 i have an ipod that has an email to it so i ask the owner from the phone but he doesnt know it how can i get into my ipod now? can u help please

    how can i erase the email

    No action on your part can remove the lock. The previous owner needs to release the lock. They can try to recover their password at http://iforgot.apple.com, or call Apple, provide proof of purchase that they are the original owner, and ask them to remove the lock.

  • Trying to organise video clips but can not find them in iphoto under Movies but do appear idvd under movies.How can I get into iphoto movies section to edit and organise the video clips

    In iphoto '08 in my Library section "Movies" doesn't show as a seperate folder so to find my video c;ips I have to go through 13,000 photos and yet in iDVD they do show up in the media area. How can I edit them and put them into specific files?

    Tell me if a video has been recorded on its side! or even upside down, can you turn it round the proper way?
    If you have Quicktime Pro you can rotate the video. There's a plugin for iMoive that can rotate clips.  Go to MacUpdate.com and do a search for "rotate video" and you'll find several apps that can do the job and the plugin: MacUpdate: Search for '+rotate +video'

  • I used to have a mobile me account to use when I travel.  I have an older power mac G5.  How can I get into my email when I am out of the country.  My computer is too old to use I cloud.  I have updated it as far as I can with operating systems.

    I have a Power Mac 5 WITHOUT an intel processer/  I have updated my computer to snow lepord which is as far as I can go.  I am unable to use the cloud.  I used to have a Mobileme account and used it when I traveled to foreign countries yo read email.  I do not know how to acess my email when traveling now.  My email address is through mac.com.  Please advise as there must be a way.  We are traveling to South America soon for about a month and I need to know how to access my email from afar.
    Thanks!

    Hi Margaret,
    I have a Power Mac 5 WITHOUT an intel processer/  I have updated my computer to snow lepord which is as far as I can go.
    I think you updated to Leopard/10.5.x, Snow Leopard/10.6 is Intel only.
    Actually you're in luck, you can still use iCloud for eMail on PPC using 10.4.11 or 10.5.8, but it must be IMAP, not POP...
    iCloud Mail setup...
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 993
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    One secret I think is when setting it up don't choose the .me/.mac type, it'll auto fill in .mac as the server which won't work, go back afterwards & change the servers.
