Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes on the computer. If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or you do not have the syncing computer, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode see:

    Turn it off then when you turn it on hold down the home button while it is booting up. It should bring you to the connect to iTunes screen. You can then connect it to your computer and sync it.

  • HOWTO/FIX: How to get your iPod touch recognised in iTunes

    Hi,
    I'm going to explain how to fix this problem but let me give you a little background first.
    I was starting from scratch so what could go wrong:
    1. Fresh Windows XP SP2 install, fully updated on brand new MacBook pro.
    2. Firewall (Komodo) and Anti-virus (avast) installed
    3. Firefox
    4. Latest iTunes
    And the iPod touch wouldn't show up. I went through every guide and every step on the apple website including the 5Rs, registry fixes, xp app cleanup, USB port settings, re-installs, resets etc but nothing worked.
    So what was the solution?
    Install iTunes 7.5.5 instead of 7.6! Simple as that.
    Hopes this helps some people seeing as I've wasted about 5 hours of my life on this.
    Cheers,
    Karle

    Find someone with a PC or go to an Apple store.
    However, if the screen only says disabled:
    If you don't have access to a computer
    If you are using Find My iPhone, you can use Remote Wipe to restore 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.

  • How to unlock your iPod touch 5g when the screen is broken?

    My iPod touch 5g screen broke. It doesn't respond to touching it at all. I'm trying to back it up to my computer but it tells me I need to unlock it first (which I can't do). Is there any way I could unlock it using iTunes or something?

    No, there is no way to backup the iPod.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • How to track your ipod touch with serial number?

    Well i lost my ipod touch and I don't know how to find it. Is there anyway to track my ipod touch with my serial number.

    Here is Apple article:
    Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
    While Apple might be able to get information when the iPod is connected to iTunes, there would be privacy issues with revealing it to anybody who claimed it was stolen. Just think what would happen if you sold the iPod and later claimed it was stolen or lost.

  • HT4623 How would you update your iPod Touch using your iPod touch?

    I want to update the software on my iPod Touch 4th Generation from my iPod Touch itself. I can't figure out how to do it, though. In the past, it has just asked me to update, but now, it doesn't do that. Anyone with any information on how to update your iPod touch software, it would be greatly appreciated if you shared your knowledge with me. Thanks so much!(:

    See:

    If the iPad already has iOS you can go to Settings>gener>wifi update and update via wifi. Otherwise yu will have to connect to iTunes and update via iTunes.
    The current iOS is iOS 6.

    How do you transfer music from your Ipod touch to the new Itunes?

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  the only exception is ituens purchases.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
