How do i reset ipod 4th generation when i am putting in the right password
I am putting in the right password on my ipod 4th generation but it keeps saying it is wrong & saying to wait certain amounts of time unitil i can try again.
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
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 may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

I've placed my iPod touch 4th generation in recovery mode by follwing the steps Apple offers in Support. Now my iPod is stuck on a screen that has a picture of a USB cable, an arrow pointing up, and a music note showing iTunes. What do I do now? is This supposed to happen?? Someone, anyone pleaseeeeee help me!!!
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
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 -

I have an Apple Id and a password but the password is different on my Ipad and Iphone. When I reset the password on the Ipad and Iphone, it doesn't save but keeps reverting to an old password which is not the same as my current Apple password - so the computer and the Ipad/Ophone are not syncing. Any suggestions about how to get the right password to stay on the Ipad and Iphone?????
Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out...
Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.

When my wife bought this ipad 18 months ago, she (or the store) set up an Apple ID that had the extension @me.com. She never wrote down the password that was created. Neither of us knew how to change the password and retrieve or create the new one. When we started actually trying to download apps, this became a problem. She called customer support before the first year of ownership ended, and they created a new Apple ID. This ID works; we can go to the support site and log in with it, yada yada. However, when I go to the app store and want to get a new app or update an existing app, the Apple ID login field prepopulates with her original ID, which is no good to us. I can't find any way of putting in the new, valid Apple ID in this login field. Why doesn't the app store give me the option to change the Apple ID this device wants to use? How do I change this setting? I'm in a time crunch, and we need to be able to download and use a few apps for some business purposes.
settings -> iTunes & App Store
click on apple ID listed there
select Sign Out
sign in with the proper account
from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID -

I tried things like increasing the amount of space available on my pc but nothing seems to work.

My iPod 4th generation will not turn on but the backlight is still glowing.
Last night my iPod had been acting up like crashing and not loading apps. I turned it off and then tried to turn it on but it woudn't. The backlight still glows. Any held would be appreciated. :]
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.
