Hi,
You will have to place your iPod in Recovery Mode and restore it via iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.
Hope this helps!

How do you unlock your ipod touch 4th generation, when i forgot my passcode to it?
I'm not sure how to unlock my ipod.
Disabled
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
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. -
how can I unlock my ipod touch? The screen is locked and has various languages on the sliding bar. the screen is grey and the normal screen saver is gone.
As a first attempt, try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons untl the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.

How can i restart my ipod mini 3rd generation?
My iPod mini 3rd generation froze when I plugged it into my laptop using my Apple USB cable. The same thing happened a year ago to my iPod touch 4th generation, which was never resolved. How do I restart my iPod mini?

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/welcome I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

Basically from what I read at a quick glance, you'll need to restore and resync. -
The Philips device is a DCM5090/10 Tower and it should support charging iPod Touch. Any suggestions??
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Make sure the iPod is fully seated in the dock
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Does Phillips say it is compatible with your model iPod and it iOS. Sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility
- Sometimes this works
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
How can i unlock my ipod touch without restoring when i don't know my word passcode?
Can I call Apple and prove that im the owner, then they unlock it for me? I dont want to restore it, because i have made many purchases since the last time a backed it up. I havent synced it to the cpu since November or December. Plzz help me.
Apple can do nothing at all.
You must restore your ipod.
If you are unable then you will have to put it in recovery mode.
You can redownload itunes purchaes
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
You should be syncing regularly as the ipod is designed. -

Ipod touch 3rd generation can´t install apps
I have a problem with apple.
I bought a Ipod touch of the 3rd generation and I can´t install any apps the problem is that my ipod said You need ios 6 to install this app.I bought them in 2010.
How can I fix this problem? I have ios 5.1.1.I would be okay that apple update my ipod to the version 8 of ios.
I think that is a case of programmed obsolescence.
I am very angry. I think that bought an ipod with only 5 years of use and then happens this. I find it amazing.
Regards
JhonnyGarciaThank you for using the Apple Support Communities
Unfortunately that is the case with any kind of technology. Components get older and new software is designed to take advantage of current day technologies. The iPod touch 3rd generation is 6 years old which is a very long time in the age of technology. This may seem like a cop out answer but this iPod touch just could not handle current day software. Lets put it in perspective. If Apple updated that iPod touch to iOS 8.x then it would not have the power to handle even the simplest of operations. The iPod touch 3rd generation still works with iOS 5.x and allows you to use it as you did 6 years ago. Applications also get updated as well to support the newer technologies and with that they drop support for older hardware. Apps that had versions on the App Store that at some point in time supported your iPod, it will give you the option to install the older version. I am not saying Apple does not have planned obsolescence, what I am saying is that your iPod still functions because it does not use new software.
