How do i prevent my ipod touch from restoring when that is the only option it will give me when i connect it tp itunes?

When i connect my ipod touch to itunes it will not show any of the ipod's info and the only option to do any thing on the ipod is to restore it. Help!

Make sure you don't have an alarm set.
Cheers!

  • I bought  a ipod touch from someone on craigslist, but he never gave his password, so I can't connect it to itunes to restore it, he had the box and everything, what do I do?

    I bought an ipod touch from someone on craigslist, but  he never gave his password to me, and I can't get back into contact with him, so I can't connect it to itunes to restore it, he had the box for the device, so he was legit, so what do I do?

    Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes on the computer. For recovery mode see:

    - 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.
    - Apple will not help
    Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
    There is no way to prevent some one for restoring the iPod and using it themselves./selling it.

  • How can I prevent my iPod nano from turning on by itself and running down the battery?

    I will arrive at my desk in the morning, stop the podcast I'm listening to, notice by the "play" button appearing on the screen and that absence of audio in my ears that the podcast has actually stopped, hold the big oval button down until the screen goes dark, and set my iPod down on the desk. Every now and again (maybe twice a week) I'll catch the iPod playing. It's usually off playing music (i.e. it's somehow navigated away from the podcast I've been listenting to and ended up in a music shuffle somewhere), and it will continue playing until the battery runs down or until I happen to notice it and turn it off. Doesn't only happen at work, happens anywhere...home, car. Result is that once or twice a week I go to use the iPod and the battery has completely run down.

    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.

  • 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.

    If not successful try the remaining items of
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 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.

    I am trying to update ipod touch from ios 4.3.2 to ios 6.1.3.  I have it connected to my computer, and the summary in itunes indicates the update is available.  However, when I click "update", it opens Windows Explorer and waits for a file name to open.

    I am not at that computer now, but I did check via windows update & with the check updates menu choice in the itunes program  - neither indicated a newer version of itunes is available. (it is a vista computer).
    The itunes software on the computer displays my ipod & the current ios (4.3.2), and indicates a newer ios is available (6.1.3). When I choose "update", I am taken to Windows Exploer and prompted to choose a file to open. it is as if the "update" button has the incorrect code attached to it.
    The ipod is working, but there are several app I would like to install, but I can't with the current ooperating system.

    So you have tried connecting to open network that do not require a password and it was still unable to connect?  If that is the case.
    Does Wifi appear grayed out on your iPod via Settings -> Wi-fi?

    Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
    If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

    How do I sync my Ipod to a new computer that isnt the one that I originally synced with?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like on of those discussed here:
    newer copy
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

    First see if placing the iPod in Recovery Mode will allow a restore.
    Next try DFU mode and restore.
