How do I fix my IPod touch 5th gen?

i changed my password yesterday and now i don't remember what i changed it to. The screen says that it is disabled and tells me to connect to iTunes. I'm sorry to bother you. (I would give you the details but my computer wont let me, but i can give you the serial number, it's CCM3BHRFFCJ)

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
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.

Upgrading to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

How do you reset your iPod Touch 5th Gen if you do not know the restrictions password?

I have an iPod Touch 5th Generation and i need to reset it because i am having issues with it not loading basically anything since i did the update. I don't know the restrictions passcode so i was wondering if there was any way to reset it without the password.

Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod. . Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
- If you are up to file manipulation see the following but it may not work for iOS 6.1.3 or iOS 7

How do I fix my iPod touch 5 gen after repeated crashes after ios 7.1 update?

I updated to ios 7.1 on my iPod touch 5 gen and it repeatedly cycled through apple restored screen, a black screen and a ding for around 12 hours until I could restore my ipod. I restored my ipod again and it happened again. I restored it a third time and got most of my apps on it. It started repeatedly crashing again only this time including flashing the slide screen. When I could use the slide screen I would try to enter my passcode but it would repeat the crashing behavior all over again. I restored my ipod again but haven't put any extra apps on it. I really need help here otherwise it's nothing more than an expensive paper weight. I can't afford to replace it and I'm not sure it's still under best buy warranty.

It's me again, same problem, new ipod.
I updated my iPod Touch 5 gen, March 19, 2014 and my ipod kept cycling through the apple screen and a black screen, that kept going for 12 hours until I could do a complete restore. I have restored that iPod at least 7 times and it would freeze up around the 25 to 30 g area. Then it would cycle through the apple screen, the black screen, the slide screen and once in awhile it would show the lock screen.
My iPod was still under my best buy protection plan so I returned it. Now the new one I have have to restore 3 times and it cycled through the same screens at the approximate area. So I am now trying from an older back up. If that doesn't work then I will try starting with the apps that I'm trying to install when it crashes. If that doesn't work then I'm returning the ipod and starting with a 3rd one.
I have a system of how I restore apps, first I restore everything but the photo and game apps, then the photo apps, and last the game apps. I install around 150 to 230 or so at a time.
Can anyone help me with this? To me ios 7.1 has killed 2 iPods. The first one worked perfectly before the update.
Please help I'm so very frustrated.

How do i fix my ipod touch 4th gen when the apple logo appears and then a whit screen comes up and turns off and it wont charge and it wont connect to itunes

My ipod touch 4th gen is a having a few problems with charging and turning on, my ipod comes up with the extremely low on power symbol and then i put it into my computer and it comes up with the charging symbol then it goes to the apple logo and then onto a blank white screen and then turns off and repeats that process i have tried various things including resetting my ipod trying to connect it to itunes but it doesnt come up with anything so i cant reset it on itunes and have tried various charging devices.

Tried it but it won't do anything all it does is make the screen do a very small flash of white and then continues doing the same thing appearing with apple logo then the white screen and off and keeps repeating that
I'm guessing the white small flash means it's been reset when I hold the 2 buttons down,
Thanks for suggesting.

How can i fix my IPOD TOUCH 2ND Gen Battery!Please help

Help! I dont know what happened buht wen i tried to Use my Ipod This morning It Didnt Work!! I tried every thing nothing works! Wont even charge Nothing COMES up. Please help i DONT have money to send it to Apple because they pay to much . If you can help thank you

the 2nd gen ipod battery is not easy for beginners to replace themselves. It needs to be soldered. so if you dont want to give it to apple to fix because they are too expensive you can try another company that you send it to them, they fix it and you get it back.

How to kill apps in ipod touch 5th gen with new ios7

I updated to new ios7 and now I'm not able to kill apps like in the earlier version of ios6.
Also, is there an app that automatically kills apps in the background after a while.

Double-click the Home button to bring up the app screen, then swipe upwards on the app.

is there an app that automatically kills apps in the background after a while.
None I know of. I don't believe that the software development kit would allow someone to write such an app.

How do you fix lines that come up on an iPod Touch (5th Gen) once it turns on after running out of battery?

This has happened to me about 4 times now. I just got a brand new iPod touch (5th Gen) after replaceing my 4th gen iPod. I havent had it for a month, so its still brand new. The only thing is that when the iPod runs out of battery it turns off (duh) but it doesnt turn back on when you plug it in to charge. When I noticed that the iPod doesnt turn on, and I hit the power button, lines appear on my screen. They are lines that run up and down the screen from left to right. I try factory resets, setting resets, restoring my iPod. But this issue keeps coming up. I honestly dont know what to do. This thing is brand new and its acting up on me. Should I take it to my apple store? Should I just put up with it. I have tried everything and at this point I dont know what to do anymore. Please help!!

- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Since you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem
If the iPod is defective within warranty (you indicate it is) and not abused Apple will exchange it on the spot.
