How do I keep the iPod Touch from people resetting it/putting it in DFU mode?

I have iPod Touch 5th Gen. iOS 6.1.3 again.I'm having surgery this week.My question is How do I keep the iPod safe from people doing stuff like putting it in DFU mode,resetting my stuff,etc. because I don't want people to get on my stuff while I'm having 1 hour/30 minutes of surgery?
Also,the surgery is just 1 hour/30 minutes.

Besides locking in a safe or giving it to a trusted person, all you can do is use a complex screen-lock passcode to protect your personal information. Someone still can erase the iPod by placing in recovery mode and restoring via iTunes but they will have to enter your ID and password to use the erased iPod

Restore...
From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How can I sync the ipod touch with windows 7 64 bit

How can I sync the ipod touch with Outlook on windows 7 64 bit?

I'm having the same problem with Windows 7, iTunes has been spotty about recognizing my iPod Touch. Now that I've updates Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (June 2011), It won't complete a sync or a restore at all on either of my Windows 7 computers.
I have gone through every troubleshooter action recommended by Apple Support, and have not been able to improve the situation at all.
I took my Touch to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store after trying and failing to complete a restore while troubleshooting, and it restored just fine from a Mac. Unfortunately, it now gives me an error meesage (Incompatible device) half way through an attempted sync, or iTunes simply freezes.
I even tried removing the Windows SP1, but that was a mess, as my display went all whacky and iTunes crashed immediately upon startup.
The Windows 7 OS ***** in general, particularly with compatibility issues, and not just for Apple products.
Does anyone know how to remedy this situation?
I'm so frustrated and have wasted so much time on this issue that I'm going to throw it all out the window!
HELP!!!!!!

How do u get the Ipod touch to group compilations for browsing ?

How do u get the Ipod touch to group compilations for browsing ?
With Itunes 9 like earlier versions u have the option to group compilations for browsing, having the effect of not putting a huge list of artists in your view by artist list because they played one song on a compilation you have got. With my old Ipod classic this option was also available through the setting menu. Meaning my ipod exactly mirrored my itunes lists.
I have recently purchased a ipod touch 32 and can find no settings that allow me to do the same. My artist list has risen from 200 to 400 because of this and makes finding albums by artists very annoying.
I have looked on the itunes software and can find no mention of syncing this ability to the ipod either.
Help
Mike

Yes i do this to group compilations in itunes.
But when i then sync to the ipod touch the albums come up under compilations as desired but the artists also appear in the artist list which is not.
On my old ipod classic it had a setting to group compilations the same as in itunes which would then remove these odd artists from the artist list.
I can find no equivalent setting on the ipod touch
Cheers
Mike

How do i uninstall an ipod touch from my computer?

How do i unistall my ipod touch from my computer? It is my sons and he would like to now put it on his own computer

All you have to do is not connect the iPod to your computer.
If he has his own Apple ID/iTunes account you can delete any media purchased with his account from your iTunes libary.
Unauthorize his account from your computer.
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
Delete the backup of his iPod from your computer: iTunes>Preferences>Devices.

- If you previously turned on the FIndMyiPod feature and location service is on, and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in, and go to FindMyiPhone. It the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- Report to police and change the passwords fro all accounts used on the iPod.

There is no way to prevent some one for restoring the iPod and using it themselves./selling it.

Keeping the iPod Touch always "ON" when in cradle or on cable...

How do u tell the iPod touch to stay ON when connected to a dock or when getting power from the usb port???

It's a default Apple put in, at least if I'm correct.
I first had the nano 2nd generation and it did recharge on standby, but 3rd generation and Touch are both affected. The unit won't charge unless the pc is on, or you can get the ac/usb adapter and plug it in the house charger.
For Windows users, You pretty much have no need to put the PC on standby, if you use it as a PVR until 2009 and need to upgrade to a Digital Cable computer.

If you bought the iPod touch from somebody and then you locked yourself out of it what should I do because the guy didn't give me his iTunes password?

Sounds like the Activation Lock (iOS 7) is working as designed. It determs theft since y have to know the APple ID's passward to use/restore the iPod foro use. Unless you can get the password you have a nice but thin brick. Likely the iPod was stolen

HT4972 How do I upgrade my iPOD Touch from iOS 4.2.1 to 5?

How do I upgrade my iPOD Touch from iOS 4.2.1 to 5? I've reset it, erased it, but still won't install iOS5.

You most likely have a 2G iPod touch which cannot go beyond iOS 4.2.1. If it is an 8gb or 16 gb iPod without a camera, it is a 2G iPod.

You asked...

Is there a way to shrink the application you're capturing so it
fits within a given capture window rather than requiring scrolling,
or would I have to go back to the application developers for that?
(I realize that would shrink the size of everything on the screen,
but in some cases, that would be worth it to be able to show a
window without scrolling.
If, by "shrink" ... you mean by using the AppSizer, the
answer is "not really". You can configure AppSizer to a defined
size, then with the mouse pointer double-arrowed on the "edge" of a
window, right-click and your window-size selections will appear in
the AppSizer "list" (that you set up) and can be selected there.
But there is no re-scaling of the window contents, if that is
what you mean, so the smaller window may now require scrolling.
But keep in mind that if you use the recording option for
"Software Simulation" > "Custom Size", you can then snap the
application window to that size...

I do not understand what "it says in the windows connect to itunes" means?
What is "it" and what is "windows"?
Maybe:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
