How to enable a disabled iPod that won't connect to internet

trying to enable my disabled 5th generation iPod touch. I have tried connecting to iTunes on the computer, which I couldn't get it to do anything. I then tried using the "Find my iPhone" website and erased the iPod. However, I got a message that says "This iPod will be erased when it connects to the internet". How do I connect a disabled/locked iPod to the internet/wifi while it is waiting to be erased because it won't connect to internet/wifi?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

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.

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.

  • Ipod Touch Won't Connect to Internet Since Using Airport Home Network

    I searched the site, but can't find anything that helps (or that I can really understand). I previously had no problems with my Ipod Touch using my home internet via wi-fi. Ever since I upgraded to the newest airport, my ipod won't connect, and I've tried just about everything, but nothing works.
    I also have an old PC Laptop that used to connect, but it won't connect to the internet either since I got the new airport.
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

  • IPOD touch won't connect to internet - like many others on this forum

    I updated my IPOD the other day. Since then it won't connect to the internet. The wifi signal is still being shown, and my pc is using the wifi with no problems. There seems to be a few other people on this forum with exactly the same problem. I've done absolutely everything on the Support page to try to solve this problem, I've reset the Network settings at least twice. Can anyone help? Is there maybe a problem with the most recent Update? If so, what are Apple doing to sort it out? Thanks to anyone who can help.

    Some background might help:
    - What make/model router are you using?
    - Does your router have the latest firmware? (Check the manufacturer's support web page)
    - What security type are you using? (None, WEP, WPA, WPA2)
    - Does your router use DHCP?
    - Have you tried powering off and restarting the router?
    If you are connected to the router but can't access the internet then the possibility exists that the DHCP service in your router is not giving you a local network IP address.
    To check on this go to:
    *Settings > WiFi >* +your network name+
    and press the ">" to the right to bring up the connection details.
    Report all that you see. If the IP address starts with 169 then the router is not giving a local network IP address and you will not be able to access the internet.

  • How do i enable a disabled ipod that does not want to restore

    the ipod does not want to go into recovery mode or anything and it is disabled for at least 21,883,900 minutes. help

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  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.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • How do you recover an ipod that was never connected to my computers?

    I have an ipod which has a password but I don't know what it is (our company's assistant set it up and she is now gone...). We never connected it to a computer so the recovery process Apple suggest to do online won't work as it is locked. How can I proceed to restore it to factory default settings?

    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.

  • Ipod touch - won't connect to internet

    alrighty. i have an ipod touch 4th gen. this morning it worked fine, it connected to my router, and i was able to access the internet and do everything i usually do. i disconnected my ipod from my router so my dad could run a speed test for me. when i went to re-connect, i ran into problems. i can access my network, and i have full signal, but i'm not getting to the internet. all the laptops in the house are fine, other ipods connect, just not mine. it's not a problem with the password or anything like that. i've reset my router, and i've reset network settings on my ipod. help???

    It helps a little bit. I managed to bring up the information page for my router and I can see the IP address information and Subnet Mask info etc, but I have no idea what to put in the router box on the iPod or the DNS box. It lists DNS as being 0.0.0.0.0, surely this can't be right? I am so confused.

  • My ipod touch5 wont suddenley connect to internet when everything else does .please help

    My iPod touch5suddenley won't connect to internet.All the other things do. What can I do??

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • TS1363 how do you unlock an Ipod that is disabled?

    how do you unlock an Ipod that is disabled?

    If the iPod is showing the 'disabled' screen due to too many failed passcode attempts then you will need to connect the iPod to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPod and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPod into recovery mode : 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.

  • TS1363 how do I enable my disabled ipod

    How do I enable my disabled ipod?

    I'm not sure exactly what "disabled" means, for your iPod.  However, this is a basic reset procedure for an iPod shuffle.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    If the problem is iTunes not seeing the iPod when connected, you should also try shutting down (powering off) your computer.  Start it up with iPod shuffle NOT connected.  Run iTunes.  Connect iPod shuffle (after doing the reset procedure).
