How come my ipod 5th generation locks me out when I put the right password?

I put the correct password into my iPod 5th generation and sometimes (almost all the time now) locks me out. It mostly happens to me when I need to do something off of my iPod. Please help!!!

Sounds mostly like operator error from the very sparse description.
Exactly when this happens – becomes important, else people are forced to guess what you are talking about.
Do you have more than one password & are using the wrong one?
(Could it be that you have a long password & a short ID passcode for something like 1Password?)
I’ve found there is sometimes an extra half second time-lag & I that I am typing ahead & it is not properly registering whenever this happens to me on the lock screen, or I try typing the character again, because of the lag. Do you have the tap speed set low?
If you have a cover for your iPad, those can sometimes cause a mistype.
Another might be that [one] doesn’t look to see that the correct password characters were entered instead of its key neighbor (sloppy fat-fingering).

    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.

    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.

    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.
    If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:

  • HT204266 How come my credit card says invalid security code when I put my code in at the App Store?

    How come my credit card says invalid security code when I put my code in at the App Store? I have a bunch of free apps when I had my ipad 1 now I have 2 and my credit card will not be read as authentic Watson ever I tried my girls card nothing do I need to have money on it for a free download? I even bought a couple of games but why with so many free ones? Please help me I'm slow so walkit through with me thnx also my ipad 2 is brand new out da box and I accidentally updated to 6.0 without finding out first about it so some pointers to it would help ...which I think that it has something to do with it.

    Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
    And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    For iOS I would expect an updated version of the manual to appear here at some point : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad/
    In the meantime there is this : http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/

  • My iPod 5 can't connect to wifi. It connects to personal hotspots but no to my home wifi. I tried resetting the network settings but no change. I put the right password but it just keeps loading forever. What should I do??

    My iPod 5 can't connect to wifi. It connects to personal hotspots but no to my home wifi. I tried resetting the network settings but no change. I put the right password but it just keeps loading forever. What should I do??

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - 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.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • What do i do if the phone locks me out due to using the wrong password

    what do i do if the phone locks me out due to using the wrong password?

    Do you mean the lock screen? If you have forgotten the password you have to restore the device and delete everything. Before you say "that's dumb, apple!" be happy it's not possible to hack because if someone stealsyourphone at least they can't hack it.

  • My iPod 5th generation locks up mid sync

    Hi my iPod keeps locking up periodically whilst syncing. This happens on different songs each time. I have to unplug &. Reset & try again. Wondered if I had errors on disk. Is there a defrag utility? Any ideas

    Well this symbol, is bad news,
    It means hardware error, like some circuit is fried, but if you are lucky, Read this Apple Support Article about going into Disk Mode and Restoreing the iPod.
    Or else try this Hard Reset, with a lot of Prayers
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.

  • I just bought a refurbished Ipod 3rd generation 8 gigs, but when I enter the serial number into Apple's site, it shows up as a 2nd generation. Is this normal?

    I bought a refurbished Ipod touch, 3rd gen(link: http://store.apple.com/ca/product/FC086LL/A?mco=MjI4NjY2MTE)
    The home button broke on me, so while setting up servicing for it, when I entered the serial number into the Apple site, my supposedly "3rd gen" Ipod showed up as a 2nd gen. Is this normal? And if not, what can I do about it?

    There are no 3rd gen 8GB models.  They did not make them.

  • What do you do when you forget your password? I am trying to install photoshop and before a window comes up saying it's locked and I have to put in my password to continue. What password and what do I do if I don't remember it!!!

    Trying to install photoshop. I get a window that comes up with a lock icon under the Adobe icon and it wants me to give the computer permission to add photoshop so it's asking for a password. I don't know which password it wants and I fear I have forgotten my main password for this computer!
    I see to change your password, you have to know your old one. Any help out there?

    The Username and password required is that of an Admin User.
    If you only ever created your original account, that is your account and your password.
    If you auto-login, and never use that password so that you can't remember it, Your Mac is incapable of telling you -- it was encrypted as it was entered the first time, and is never stored "in the clear".
    You can change the Admin password, if you can remember your Apple-ID and password.

  • My iPod 5th Generation was working perfectly fine and within the next ten minutes, it had shut off and won't turn back on

    I was using my iPod and it was working fine and then I locked it and it randomly shut off. This has happened to me in the past, and I would just do the home button and lock button to manually reset it. Unfortunately, my home button is now breaking. I tried connecting the USB to my computer and it won't connect that either. Any ideas on what to do? I'm almost always in a wi-fi zone so this is usually my main source of communication.

    hello, my ipod 5th generation has a broken screen, and also the inner lcd seem to be faulty also, anybody has an idea how much it cost to fix or replace it with apple?

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for a 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.
