  • My Ipod touch (3rd. gen) is locked and the touch screen isnt working and it only turns on when charged! help!, My Ipod touch (3rd. gen) is locked and the touch screen isnt working and it only turns on when charged! help!

    My Ipod touch isnt working ... i think its locked but the touch screen now doesnt work? Help!

    Connect the iPod to your computer and charge it for at least an hour and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  If it asks for an passcode and you do not know it place the iPod in recovery mode to bypass the the passcode.  For recovery mode see:

  • My ipod is disabled and my power button doesnt work. how can i restore it?

    i forgot my password and i researched how to fix it and they all say that you hold the power and home button. however, my power button at the top doesnt work. Is there anyway to fix it?

    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, 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 turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • I need to backup my iPhone, but it is locked and the touchscreen doesn't work

    So I dropped my 3 year old iphone in the toilet and now the touchscreen doesn't work.  I want to backup the information so I can transfer my apps to the new phone, but I have my phone locked and I cannot enter the code because, as I said, the touchscreen doesn't work.  How can I back up my old phone?

    If you back it up using the computer it normally syncs to, you won't be prompted for the passcode. If you have not been syncing it with a computer, then you're pretty much out of luck at this point.
