How can i get my sister's ipod back to normal after being stolen and used in a different itunes?

So my sister's ipod was stolen so i used the icloud find ipod app to turn it on lock mode, no problem. we got it back, but the person must have synched it with their itunes, because now it is called "ishmael's ipod" and it won't connect to itunes. my sister unlocked it with the passcode we set, but it told her to connect to itunes, but it won't connect to itunes unless we put in a passcode, but it doesnt bring up the thing to put the passcode in. How can i reboot it so it will connect again?

You can check by going to iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Edit>Preferences>Devices if using Windows) and checking the backup list.  If the data on the phone now isn't yours, then you'll need to use and existing backup to recover your data and settings.
Your best bet is to connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of the phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab and click Restore.  If iTunes won't let you do this, then force it into recovery mode to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
After it restores, it will restart and reappear in iTunes.  You will then get a screen giving you the option to restore ir from backup.  Choose this option, then select your iTunes backup to restore to.

  • Can I get insurance on an iPod touch that has already been stolen and how can I find it

    My iPod touch has been misplaced or stolen, I have used to find my iPhone app multiple times but no luck tracking it. The app tells me that my iPod must connect to the internet before it's able to be tracked. I have locked it and sent various messages to contact me but still, it has to be connected to the internet. Is there a way I can get my serial number or something ? will Apple Replace My IPod If I Can't Find It?  Can someone PLEASE Help Me !

    If it was stolen, the thief will soon find out it's useless. iOS 7's Activation Lock prevents its use by anyone other than its legitimate owner. If you provided contact information, that's all you can do. Wait until someone honest finds it.
    Can I get insurance on an iPod touch
    The insurance question is one for your insurance carrier - homeowner's or renter's insurance. Car insurance, if it was stolen from your car. Most insurance policy deductibles will exceed the value of your iPod though. Apple isn't in the insurance business.
    ... Is there a way I can get my serial number or something ?
    If you do not know its serial number you can find it stored in your last iTunes backup:
    Open iTunes on the computer you used to sync the iPod and select Preferences…from the iTunes menu. (In Windows, choose Edit > Preferences.)
    Select the Devices pane. Position the cursor over any of its backups. The iPod's serial number will appear in a popup window.
    For a screenshot read: iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number

    If you have access to your computer, but not your device
    Good luck!

  • I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod?

    I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod? And if I can't put it on my ipod how do I get my money back? I registered my ipod on iTunes, why was a song I can't put on my ipod even offered to me? What a rip?

    Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
    - Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
    - Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
    To move mdia to the new computer see:

  • My ipod touch 4 music quality is much poorer with IOS 6 upgrade. How can I get IOS 5 music quality back?

    My ipod touch 4 music quality is much poorer with IOS 6 upgrade. How can I get IOS 5 music quality back?
    No available eq setting is acceptable.
    Right now, I feel like driving a nail through it.

    Me again. I cleaned out the headphone jack with a q-tip soaked with rubbing alcohol. Most of the q-tip fibre was removed to be able to insert it into the jack. After pushing and turning fairly vigorously for a half minute, I pulled it out and a large piece of pocket lint came out with it as well. The Ipod now sounds excellent.

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
    iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync 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 restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
              backup to restore, then restore as New.
    If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

  • How can i get music from my ipod nano to my iphone 4s?

    How can i get music on my ipod nano to my iphone 4s?

    iPods (except iPod touch which is really an iPhone minus the phone) only sync with your computer running iTunes.  So it needs to go through the computer.
    Since you loaded the iPod from your computer's iTunes library, you can just load the same songs from your iTunes library to the iPad.

    how can i get into my locked iPod? as i have forgoten my passcode and is says "iPod is disabled connect to iTunes"

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    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.

    I'm not entirely sure what you are referring to, there isn't a user manual section in the iPad's Settings app. If you want an iPad then you can either download it from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad/
    Or if you download the iBooks app then there should be a copy in the ibookstore in it

    The same is happening for me. Today I decided to reboot my PC because it was acting up a bit, go figure, and then for some reason at the same time the PC was restarting my macbook froze. I had to do a reboot with the restart button but then all that came up was a gray background and in the middle of the screen was a darker gray folder with a white question mark in the middle of it, blinking. I can't imagine why the restart would've affected my macbook. After finding information on how to fix this, I tried all of the steps that were given about using the mac OS X disk to use the first aid utility to fix it. When using the Disk Utility option whenever I select my hardrive and am in the First Aid tab, the only button I can use is the Verify Disk Permissions. The other three buttons, and namely the most important Repair Disk button, is/are not selectable (grayed out). I then tried resetting the PRAM the way they also said with the command + option + P + R and waited for the second startup sound. After that I gave the Disk Utility a second try, but still nothing. And now if I try to just reinstall the OS completely I can't even select a destination volume on the third step (Select Destination). Apparently this means i'm SOL.

    You're welcome.
    Going back to your original post:
    5) Tried running Itunes in 'safe mode', running itunes as an administrator..nothing.
    Was that iTunes' safe mode as opposed to Windows' safe mode? iTunes safe mode is invoked by holding down CTRL+SHIFT immediately after clicking the icon to launch iTunes and continuing to hold until this message pops up:
    Click continue, then close iTunes and reopen. With luck iTunes now opens normally every time.
