How do I get a password off my iPod if I have forgotten it?

I put a password onto my iPod today thinking it was correct but when i went to get back in, it said my password was wrong. Which basically means I forgot it. Also, the button to shut my iPod on and off is broken so I've been using the assitive touch. How do i fix it, and will the button's unability to work not let me fix it? My iPod means so much to me and I've had it for two years. I'd be devistated if I couldnt get it to work again.

Place the iPod in recovery mode using this program:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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 iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If you do not know the password there is no way of getting it from the iPod. Sorry. You might want to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since yu may have a hardware problem with your iPod.

Restore the music form your most recent hard drive backup.
You do make backups of your hard drive, right?
There has to be a way.
There's many ways. If you search the forums, you'll find dozens of solutions. You can use the search box in the upper right portion of the discussions website.
Other wise what's the point of the ** thing.
It's an audio player... not a backup device.
If you rely on your iPod as a backup of your music.. then you are misusing the device. It's not intended to be used in this manner. Apple makes it difficult to get music off the iPod as a method to hinder music piracy.

How do I get my music off my iPod Touch?

I had a virus and had to delete all the data on my computer. I am now setting iTunes up again and I tried to get my songs off my iPod touch. It transfered only a small portion of my music, only the songs I had purchased in the past few months or so. I am authorized on this computer, and the few songs I got by trying to sync the songs off my ipod. How do I get my music off my iPod so I can listen to it on my computer?

You'll likely need the assistance of some third party software to help you recover the non-iTunes purchased music. See this older thread for a few possibilities.

how do i get my music off my ipod touch and on to my new itune account with out losing my music

Transfer the iTunes folder from your old computer to your new computer. It's in your My Music >> iTunes folder. You'll probably need an external hard drive to do this. Make sure you upgrade the old and the new computers to the latest iTunes before transferring your music to the new machines.

I got a new computer, how do I get the photos off my ipod on to my computer?

I got a new computer, how do I get the photos off my ipod on to my computer?

For photos synced from your computer ( photo library pics) you don't. The photo sync is one way - computer to ipod.
You need to move the pics from your old computer or your backup copy of the old computer. You could e-mail them to yourself. They will not be of the original resolution.
For pics taken with ipod ( Camera Roll Pics), then you import them as you would from any digital camera.

You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception being itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases

Transfer all iTunes purchases by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases with your iPod Touch plugged into your PC and in iTunes.
For all non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need the help of third party software to help get the job done. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering a few options.

How Do I Get My Music Off My Ipod Touch Cos My PC Blew Up!!

I'm hoping someone can help me...
My PC recently died on me so i lost all the data including my itunes library.
Is there any way to get the music off my ipod touch? I've tried just exploring it in My Computer (Windows XP) but the ipod isn't showing up a drive...
I've a couple of 3rd party freeware apps but they say that the ipod is not connected (but the ipod works ok itself)
Can anyone help?

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to the iPod and iPhone. However there are a few third party utilities that are advertised as iPhone and iPod Touch compatible which can be used to retrieve the music files and playlists etc. Have a look at the web sites and help pages for these ones and see what you think or check the web for reviews:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

Call me silly but how do you get your music off your ipod....

My old computer crashed, lucky me all my music was on my ipod, but now how do i get it out!!! and on to a new computer?? help

Hello there,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are several ways you can pull the music off your iPod and onto iTunes. The first link below provides step-by-step instructions for the direct method if you have a PC as well as a few third party applications (for both the Mac and PC) if you choose to go that route instead. You can also do a simple Google search for "copy music from iPod to computer" and you should receive a number of sites that can help you out.
Just make sure that when you have your iPod plugged into your computer, that you don't hit "Erase and Sync" before completing the task of copying your music over.
Also, if you have any purchased music, you will probably have to re-authorize your computer by heading to the Store drop down menu and choosing "Authorize computer."
