HT1212 How can I reset my iPod Touch 3 gen. to factory settings when my home button is broken and I'm locked out?

My home button broke awhile ago so I've just been using the assist thing ( I forget the name:P) and I got locked out a few days ago and now I can't do the hold down the sleep/wake button after disconnecting your device from the charger and hold onto the home button blah blah blah. Anyways, I have no idea what to do so if any of you could help I would be so thankful (also I tried erasing it using iCloud online and it said to erase it had to be connected to Wifi and well, I can't do that unless I can unlock my iPod and yeah..)

Use this program to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes

    The other responder gave you a program that will transfer stuff from your iPod to your new computer.  You can transfer iTunes purchaces to your new computer by:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    After you move your stuff to your new computer you will have to let iTunes erase your iPod and then sync with the stuff that is now in your iTunes library.  You will loose app data though.

  • I messed my color sync profile up. How can I reset my color sync profile to factory settings?

    I messed my color sync profile up. How can I reset my color sync profile to factory settings?
    Core 2 Duo, OS Lion (not mountain)

    Hi, yes, I messed it up by trying to edit it.
    I just clicked configure and changed the options. Is there a factory setting I can reset it to?
    The problem when I try to get it back to normal is that it never looks just like it did. It looks mainly fine, but things like light blues look wrong.

  • HT1212 How can I reset my Ipod's pass code, restoring doesn't reset anything and I still don't know my code

    How can I reset my Ipod's pass code, restoring doesn't reset anything and I still don't know my code?

    Passcode for what?
    Was the restore successful, that it did the iPod/iTunes go through all the steps without errors?
    For screen-lock passcode:
    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.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:

    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 iTunes purchases by:

    For Restrictions passcode yo have to restore to factory settings/new iPod since restoring from a backup made when the iPod had the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode willaalso be restored.

  • How can I reset my iPod Touch with no power at all? It doesn't charge with the power outlet or with the USB cable...

    I realized this morning my iPod Touch was not charging. I left it charging all night but nothing.
    I read i have to reset it, but since now is fully uncharged, it does not allow me to do anything...
    I tried to charge it with all possible resources (USB, different chords, power outlet, etc) but still out.
    Should I take it to a Genius Bar?

    I would try here first.
