How can I get into settings if I don't have the exchange password for my iPod Touch

I can't update my iPod Touch, 4th gen. through iTunes because it says it can't connect. I can't get into my settings because it keeps asking for an exchange password that I don't remember. Is there some way I can reset the iPod without having access to either of these means?

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.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
Restoreing from backup will not change the need for the forgotton password if the backup was made with password on the iPod
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.

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I accidentally deleted my iPhoto from the computer and from recycle bin. How can I get it back? I do not have the iLife disc and don't want to pay the $15 for 2011 version. How can I do this?

Also, if I buy Lion OS, will it be back or no?

If you don't have an Installer disk then you can't install without a purchase. Do you have the grey SystemRestore disks that came with your Mac? It's on that. No, iPhoto is not part of Lion.

You will need to provide the model # and serial #.
If none of the above gets you anywhere, you can order a set from this 3rd party vendor for $27 + shipping, at the link below:

How can I transfer my playlists when I don't have the old computer?

The hard drive that iTunes and my playlists were on was recently destroyed by a flooded basement. I have a few thousand songs, and don't have the time/want to take the time to go through and recreate every single play list. Is there any way to get the playlists off of my iPod to the new computer and the new iTunes? I was told to create a backup of the playlists and the library, but I don't see any way to do that on the iPod. Any (detailed) help is greatly appreciated.

You'll need a third-party utility. Senuti can do that:

There are other good applications that do the same thing, some just as well and even free.

How can I get into my phone if I cant use the touch screen?

I went to go use my phone and when I attempted to get to the screen to type in my passcode, the area to swipe didnt work. The only feature that "works" is the little arrow on the bottom to get to the brightness feature, etc. I cannot turn my phone off manually or adjust anything on the screen itself. I cant even get to the emergency call screen. Im not sure if restoring the phone through itunes will delete anything I currently have on there... Please help!

Hi eskimoerin,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have not already, first try resetting your iPhone using these steps:
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the article with these steps here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the touchscreen is still unresponsive after your iPhone resets, use these steps to back up the data on the device and restore it using iTunes:

Someone was playing on my computer and I don't see the "Do you want Firefox to Remember" bar. How can I get it back so I don't have to remember sign-in information?

I'm thinking that there is just a simple correction that I need to make.
Here's what I don't see (what follows if from memory and is not exact).
Do you want Firefox to Remember?
This is followed by "always for this site", "never" or "not now"
I don't ever get that bar anymore AND those sites that I used to be able to automatically get into without entering userid and password, I now have to use my userid and password.
Can you help?

* Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
* You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
* To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"

I have lost Lightroom 5.6 due to a hard drive crash. The old hard drive has been replaced. How can I get LR5 back? I don't have a disc. I still have my LR4 disc and key. I have another adobe key, but don't know if it relates to LR5.

I have lost Lightroom 5 due to a crashed hard drive. I don't have a back up disc, and I dont think I have a key. I have a an adobe key recorded but don't know if it relates to LR5. I have an LR4 disc and key. LR5 is still intact and running on my laptop, but I need to use LR% on my desktop PC. I need an address to try a download so that I can try the key which might fit it. Any ideas how I can transfer the program (with key) from my laptop? Any other ideas?
John Carden <[email protected]>

Just download and install.
you can find by internet search for "download Lightroom", or click here:

Note: trial software is same as licensed software, once you license it.. (I hope you still have the license key).

I used the migrator utility to transfer music and picture from my old PC and now I have 2 accounts on my new Mac, how can I get back to one account and still have the music and photos transfered ?

I used the migrator utility to transfer itunes and photos from my old PC to my new Mac and ended up with 2 accounts on my new computer. How do I transfer the music and photos and only have the 1 account on the new Mac ?

That's not easy. The Windows migration tool makes a new user account, and you can't prevent it.
You may be able to transfer what you want manually, but it's not quick or easy. See Transferring files from one User Account to another.

How can i get a list with all devices that have the same icloud account for iMessage, FaceTime, Reminders, etc...

Hi, I want to know which devices (iMac, MacBook, iPod, iPhone, iPad & PC) are using my iCloud account, specifically because of iMessage going to devices that im not aware of.
A list of those devices would be great.
I do have a list of the ones with find my i activated, but i want the full list. Or at least the ones being used by FaceTime or iMessage!
Thank you in advance!

I don't think there's a single place that will give you a list but you can check your devices to create one. On your iOS devices go to Settings>Messages>Receive At and check the Apple ID at the top. You can check FaceTime at Settings>FaceTime. You can check iCloud at Settings>iCloud>Account. On your Mac go to System Preferences>iCloud> click on Account Details. On your PC go to Start>Control Panel>Network and Internet>iCloud (you Apple ID is listed on the left).

How can I erase my HD when I don't have the OSX Install Disc?

Hi --
I have an old eMac (yes, it's 20011 and I have an eMac) that I'm shipping away to be recycled. I want to erase the hard drive but don't have any of the original install discs. I've tried the disk utility option, but it greys out the selection menus so I can't select a drive to erase, and it also greys out the erase button, so it appears I'm unable to do it that way.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi,
You may want to try a web search for a program called DBAN. Look for an earlier version for PowerPC. The download (an iso file) will allow you to burn a bootable disc.
