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.

  • How do I reset my Apple ID email that is already locked in when it asks me for password when I turn on iPod touch?

    I recently changed cable providers, so my email changed too.  I was able to change my iMac to a new email and reset the password, but I am not able to use that email with my iPod touch.  It still has my old email locked in when it asks me for my password.  I don't remember the pasword because I tried to modify it when I did my iMac, and can't remember which password and capital letters I used.  I am not able to back up my iCloud and am afraid to finally upgrade the software until I have this problem fixed.  My secret question answersare wrong, and can't use the old email to reset because I have no access to that email account anymore.  Can anyone help?  If not I got to pay $19 to Apple support to fix it.  Thanks.

  • My 7 year old has forgotten her password and now her ipod touch is locked and says connect to itunes. I have tried to connect however it will not connect because it is locked. How can I reset her password?

    My seven year old daughter got an ipod touch a few months ago from her father. She has now forgotten her password and it has been tried too many times and so the ipod has been disabled. It now say connect to itunes. I have tried to do this with the USB cable and itunes on my computer. Unfortunately it will not work as it will not connect saying the device is locked and to enter the password.
    This is not the computer that she previously connected to and she may not be able to get access to that computer. Is there a way for us to reset the password preferably without having to restore the ipod and lose everything she has on it?

    Try:
    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • TS2446 my ipod touch locked after several attempts with the wrong password. how to i reset?

    my ipod touch locked after several attempts with the wrong password. how do i reset the password.

    If it's showing the disabled screen due to too many incorrect passcode attempts then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPod and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPod into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you do it via a different computer then :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

    You have to restore via recovery mode by following the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 and may need to do that more than once to succeed.  If you have a backup of the content, restore that after you have regained access to the iPod.
