How to restore Ipod Touch running ios 5 without passcode or itunes?

Hello All,
I updated my Fourth Generation Ipod Touch to ios5. The Itouch's home computer broke down so i am now forced to use my other pc which is authorised with the same apple id as the one on my old pc and on my itouch. I have not used my itouch in a couple of months and i forgot the password. When i try and connect it up to the latest version of iTunes on my PC it gives me this message:
"Itunes could not connect to "Ipod Touch" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPod before it can be used with iTunes."
Note: I do not mind force restoring. I have no data on my itouch that needs to be saved I have everything already backed up to the cloud. I tried force restore methods but they would not work. Is there a special method for ios 5?
PLEASE HELP

Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes on the computer.  The restore from iCloud backup. See:

  • How can i restore my ipod touch 4g (?) without passcode or itunes

    Hi and thank you for helping as this is urgent.
    I forgot my passcode for my iPod, and guessed it to many times so it got disabled.
    The problem is I don't have iTunes and can't get it on my laptop, but need to restore my device. Right now on the screen it has a photo of a USB cord, an arrow, and the iTunes symbol. So, how can I restore my iPod touch without my passcode or iTunes?
    Thank you SO much.

    Right now you can't without a computer. Once you get to a computer you can restore it using DFU mode.

  • Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked.

    Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked. I have tried on a windows and a mac and noticed no change. I have tried restoring to a backup but that didn't help. I haven't had time to do a full restore but I will try if the problem persists.

    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

    What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • I have an older iPod Touch running iOS 4.2.1 which can no longer be updated. Is there a way to download older versions of apps that will run on this device? I am particularly interested in an older version of Minecraft PE. Thanks!

    Is there some way to download older versions of games that will run in an iPod Touch running iOS 4.2.1? I want to give my old device to a child who recently went through a hard time and his device was damaged. It is no use if it only has music on it. Thanks!

    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Wish to install iBooks for my sons iPod touch running iOS 6

    Wish to install iBooks for my sons iPod touch running iOS 6 which is not legible for ios7.

    Try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history. Then on the iPod go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it

  • How to restore iPod Touch (2nd gen.) to iOS 4.1?

    While away from home, I updated my iPod Touch (2nd gen.) to iOS 4.2.1 using a MacBook Pro running MacOS 10.6.3 and iTunes 10.1. I returned home, plugged the iPod into my PowerMac G5 with MacOS 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1 and, yup, got the message that I will need to install iTunes 10.1 if I want to sync with iOS 4.2. Of course, iTunes 10.1 is not compatible with MacOS 10.4.11.
    I would gladly downgrade the iPod Touch to iOS 4.1 but I cannot find it on the Apple website. I do have a file "iPod2,14.1_8B117Restore.ipsw" in the iPod Software Updates folder in iTunes which might work, but as the iPod Touch is no longer recognized, I do not know how I would do that.
    Any help appreciated.
    Herb Goodfriend

    Thanks for the replies.
    I did search the forums for "iOS 4.2", "iTunes 9.2.1", "iPod Touch" etc. but I did not use the term "downgrading". So I didn't find the answer to my question.
    I am not a big fan of Leopard, especially as there are Classic applications that I still use (no Classic in Leopard), but the PM G5 has more than enough hard disk capacity to install Leopard on a separate partition or drive so that I can run iTunes 10.1. If rebooting is a PITA, then I can use the MacBook Pro (running OS 10.6) to sync the iPod Touch.

  • How to reset ipod touch 5th generation without using itunes

    I am locked out of my IPod touch 5th generation because my password was changed on me. It says my ipod is disabled and I need to connect to itunes. However, I can not get itunes where I am so I need to know how to reset my ipod without itunes.

    Only if:
    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.
    otherise with a computer with iTunes and an interent connection
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • How to restore ipod touch in recovery mode with passcode in itunes

    StylStyle
    My ipod touch went to recovery mode after I tried to reset its network settings. I tried to connect it to itunes but it does not want to connect because I have a passcode and my ipod touch wont let me enter it so I could unlock it. Can somebody help me please? Thanks so much!

    Placing the iPod in DFU mod and then restoring usually resove the passcode problem.

    However, you may have othr problems since it went into recovery mode unexpectidly. Try restoring to factory defaults/new iPod if necessary.

  • Can I sync iPod touch w/ iOS 4.1 w/ iTunes 9?

    I updated to iTunes 10, and then updated my iPod touch to iOS 4.1. Can I switch back to iTunes 9, or will that mess up my iPod touch sync? I want to downgrade because I back up my music library to an external drive and share it with my older laptop, which is running 10.4 -- and you can't run iTunes 10 in OS 10.4.
    Thanks for your help.

    I have an iPod Touch 2G which I upgraded to 4.1 and I'm using iTunes 9.2.1 on OS 10.6 on my MacBook Pro...I hope this helps
    I've been avoiding the iTunes 10...just been monitoring the dicussions to see if Apple finally fixes the problem, before I try to upgrade!

  • TS1372 how to restore ipod touch without itunes

    I am extemely frustrated. I have an Ipod touch 3rd Generation 32gb. I was promted by Apple to update my latest IOS to 5.1.1. In doing so Apple has locked up my ipod to the point that it will not update and is stuck on the install usb screen. All these sync proceedures appear to have been a waste of time as I can not restore this device either. It is amazing as I have seen many poeple online with the same problem yet, Apple can not even give anyone a proper answer on what to do. I would just like to restore the device without connecting to my PC. I know hold down power and start till logo and then hold 10 seconds. Nothing is happening. I need to take a class on how to run an Ipod touch ?
    Please someone help me to resote my ipod touch with out connecting to a PC. This should not be so difficult. I can build PC's from scratch but I can't update an Ipod? Something is seriously flawed. I mean even this discussion is flawed, they do not have an option for IPOD TOUCH in community.

    There is an ipod touch forum.
    You will need to restore your iphone.  itunes is required for this.

  • How to restore ipod touch without using itunes

    Did a software update for my ipod touch and now my ipod is stuck on the connect to itunes screen and itunes and my computer don't recognze the device. I can get it into recovery mode and see it under devices on my computer but it won't install the drivers that are needed for the ipod. I have done every possible step in the troubleshooting guides. I keep getting the same error message saying that the device driver software was not successfully installed. itunes won't recognize the ipod, under my computer does not dispaly ipod as connected, I can view that it is in recovery mode under the devices and printers but the drivers will not install by following the steps on apple support. Any advice will be much appreciated. Please don't just give me a link to some support section on apple because I have tried them all. I am using windows 7 professional and have updated to the latest version of itunes.

    Sounds like you might want to take a look at this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    It has a lot of steps that can help you deal with why your device isn't showing up within iTunes, but does show in recovery mode.

  • How to unlock iPod touch 4th gen, without losing data?

    So, I'm locked out of my 4th Gen iPod touch. I've been searching for a way to unlock it, since I was pranked and the person who pranked me forgot what they changed the password to, and I'm never going to be able to guess it. I would just use the features in Find My Ipod, but I'm stuck in airplane mode, so it doesn't work.
    Short of resetting or jailbreaking, I couldn't find any way to get it unlocked. I'm hesitant to reset, because I have data(such as DLC from discontinued apps) that I won't be able to get back if I wipe and reset. As far as I can tell, the iTunes backup/restore thing doesn't back up the apps or save data from the apps, or at least I haven't seen anything definitive that says so.  Jailbreaking I don't think I could do if I wanted to, since from what I've seen I'd need a firmware number that I can't get to.
    So, is there any way to either disconnect from airplane mode, or reset the password while I'm locked out, without resetting? I don't want to reset unless there's no other way.
    Also I'm running iOS 5.1.1 if that makes a difference. Thanks!

    You have to place the iPod in either Recovery mode or DFU mode and restore the the iPod. That erases the iPod. That is how this security feature uses.
    However, you may be able get some info off the restored iPod by:

  • Why does my iPod touch running iOS 8.1.2 drain very rapidly below half a battery and dies at roughly 10%? Wifi is off. So is location services, Bluetooth, etc.

    The battery on my iPod touch has been acting very weird and I don't know why. I just got this iPod two weeks ago for christmas. When the battery gets down to half a battery, weird things start to happen. The battery drops 15,20,25% in the matter of minutes. On top of this, my iPod touch always dies at 10%. Any battery-consuming feature is off so I can't explain what is happening. Is it a defective batter?
