HT1212 I can not unlock my sons Ipod, and it does not ask for a code, not that he remembers it now.  It has been locked for monthes, and dont know what to do.  Can you help

Trying to unlock my sons ipod and he doesnt know what his password was.  It has been disabled for monthes.  Cant get it reset with itunes apple.  And doesnt even ask for a passcode anyways.  It just isnt doing anything.I have beentrying to unlock it for 2 hrs already

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.

iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up     
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 most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    I have no clue what you mean by "all the different methods."  Here are my suggestions.
    First, 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 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.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  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.

    my ipod wont play music on my ihome and I know it is not the ihome because I put my brothers ipod on it and it worked I dont know what is going on please help me

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • HT4623 i was upgrading my ipad, for atleast 4 hours.. the screen remains itunes.. and i dont know what to do.. please help me

    i was upgrading my ipad, for atleast 4 hours.. the screen remains itunes.. and i dont know what to do.. please help me

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • I just recently purchased 3 songs from itunes not knowing that I had no money on my debit card (visa) left. My iphone wont let me update my apps and says that there was a billing problem with my last purchase. I dont know what I am supposed to do!

    I just recently purchased 3 songs from itunes not knowing that I had no money on my debit card (visa) left. My iphone wont let me update my apps and says that there was a billing problem with my last purchase. I dont know what I am supposed to do! I dont understand why it worked in the first place when it wasn't supposed to!

    There seems to be a billing problem with the iTS.  I've been trying to make purchases today (Dec 9th) too and it reports either the iTS can not process payments or it says my card was declined. I even changed the payment method to Paypal (which is never declined) and still no go.
    I don't think it is "you" but a problem at Apple.  Some popular new apps were released recently like Logic Pro and perhaps they're getting bombarded as they did when Lion was released.
    Wait a few hours and then try again.

  • HT201304 I Have forgot my restrictions passcode and dont know what to do so i can restore factory settings

    i have forgot my restrictions passcode and dont know what to do to restore my factory settings?

    To remove a restrictions password you'll have to restore your phone as a new device without using your backup and start over.  Save as much of your data as you can first (import your photos & videos to your computer, email your notes to yourself of sync them to a supported program, back up your contacts such as by syncing them with iCloud, etc.), then follow this guide to restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

    I don't quite understand your question. But you might try the first troubleshooting step of a reset of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Hi all, i need urgently your help please. My touch screen on muy Iphone 5  is not working, i dont understand as it has not been damaged at all, i dont know what happened and need urgently somebody helps me please

    Please anyone there can help me what I can do??!! touch screen of my Iphone 5 is not working at all and dont understand as it has not been damage and it is only 2 months and half!! it is not an old iphone and it has not been damaged, has happened right now and cannot turn off the mobile at all. Tried to take out the nano sim as i though it will be turned off but it has not been! i dont know what i can do and i am desesperate!!! thanks All for your help!!

    Removing the SIM has no affect on the power of the phone. It is just the part that facilitates connecting to your carrier. Try holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo on the screen and then release the buttons. The phone should reboot. You may need to hold the buttons together for 15-30 seconds.

  • Help! I was downloading apps and my 4th generation froze, so I turned it off and restarted it twice. And it is just on the screen with the apple i dont know what to do. Please help!

    I was downloading apps that i deleted and my 4th generation froze. So i turned it off and restarted it and nothing happened. It is just showing me the apple screen after you restart it. I dont know what to do please help!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Hello warhogs17,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone will not turn on past the Apple logo. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • Help needed! I don't understand and dont know what to buy!

    Hi there
    I am trying to work out whether to buy a 30 or 80 gig Ipod; I am going o/s to South America later this year and want to save photos on my Ipod. I am just wondering a few things:
    1. is it possible to put photos straight from camera to ipod?
    2. is it possible to put photos onto Ipod from computer that doesn't have itunes (ie. in internet cafe)?
    3. once photos are on ipod only, can i put them onto my computer back home?
    4. does the resolution/size of photos get changed
    Is it worth doing this or should I just get the 30 gig and save my photos on cds? I am sooo confused!!!!
    Thanks for your help!!!

    Hi.
    1. Yes. You need the camera connector and a compatible camera.
    2. Yes. My advice if not using your computer is to enable disk use on your iPod via iTunes, then when you connect it in an internet cafe, you can delve around the various folder and access your pictures.
    3. Yes assuming you don't delete them (if you are on a mac it will load them into iPhoto for you).
    4. No.
    It depends. If you are going away, have an ipod and a camera, then there unless you want to buy lots of sd cards or the like, then it's a great alternative.
