If yo can't do that return the iPod for a refund. If yo can't do that turn into the police since the device was likely lost or stolen

    They will be erased from the iPod along with everything else, but since those songs must have originated from a source other than the iPod, they must still exist on the computer you used to sync it.
    After you restore the iPod, you just have to sync it with that same computer again.

  • How do I reset my restrictions passcode on my iPod touch 4G?

    I've been scouring this support site for 3 days.  I have attempted many of the suggestions all to no avail.  I need to reset the restrictions passcode on my iPod touch 4G as I have forgotten it.  The back up I have on my iTunes is very recent and therefore to reset and restore will give me the same problem.  Is there any way to reset the passcode if I don't know it?  Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.  If any answers could avoid directing me to other links contained on this site that would be helpful as I've tried all of the solutions listed.  iPod touch 4G iOS 6.1.6

    Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
    - Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes. For how to restore: iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    You have to either:
    - Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod

  • How do I repair the white screen on my ipod touch?

    How do I repair the white screen on my ipod touch. I have tried to hard reset the ipod, however every time I press the top button to lock the screen, it goes to a white screen.

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  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.
    There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

  • How do I add the app store to my ipod touch

    I have an iPod Touch and seemed to have lost the app store (And access to it).  How do I restore the App store to my iPod touch?

    Hello gmen3,
    Do you have at last iOS version 2.0 or later?  If so, make sure the App store hasn't been disabled from under the Restrictions setting.  To check, head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions. You might also want to make sure it wasn't move to a folder or to another page.

    how do i transfer the music and apps from ipod touch to iphone

    If you sign in to your Apple ID then your apps will be visible by clicking the "purchased" tab at the bottom of the screen.
    Music you've purchased from Apple will appear automatically if you sign in to your account. Other music you'll need to download from your PC assuming you're not subscribed to iTunes Match.

  • HT1420 How do I get the songs transfered from my IPOD touch that are on the player but the sync won't transfer?

    How do I transfer songs that are on my IPOD touch to my new PC? It only recognizes songs I purchased on itunes?

    That is correct.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only excetion is itunes purchases.
    The music came from your computer in the first place and should still be there and in your regular backup copy of your computer.

  • How can I maximise the storage on my 64GB iPod Touch?

    I have 14,000 songs in iTunes and want o make the most of the storage on my 64GB iPod Touch.
    Ideally I want to dynamically increase and decrease the songs store on the iPod, depending on the photos, apps and other files synced with my computer.

    Thanks - I already do that, but my entire song collection won't fit on the iPod, even compressed.
    I may be wrong, but I thought there was an option to sync as many songs (a random selection) as there was space available on the iPod, whilst simultaneously managing and prioritising the space needed for apps, photos, etc.

    how do reset the restriction password on my ipod

    Hey Wheatstock,
    It sounds like you might be experiencing issues with the passcode on your iPod touch. If that's the case and maybe you've forgotten the passcode or your device is disabled after inputting an incorrect one, take a look at this article:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If, however, you're talking about Restrictions / Parental Controls, you'd want to take a look here:
    If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

  • HOW DO YOU REINSTALL THE SAFARI APP ON AN IPOD TOUCH?

    MY SON HAS DELETED THE SAFARI APP ON HIS IPHONE AND WE CAN'T FIND OUT HOW TO REINSTALL IT?

    You cannot delete it.
    It is likely on another page, in a folder or restrictiosn are set.
    If you still do not locate it then reset the home screen layout.
    All of this is covered in the manual.
