HT1212 iPod touch backup, cracked screen, can't enter passcode.

I want to back up my music from my iPod onto a new computer, to put onto a new iPod. My old computer broke and I have no access to it. But when I try to back it up, it says I have to enter the passcode. The screen is severely cracked and unusable, so I can't enter the pass code. Is there any way to bypass the screen lock without using the screen? I have a huge music library that, as of right now, is lost.

Your only hope is a data recovery comapny. The Apple securty feature is working as intended.

    There is no way to make a backup of your iPod.

  • HT1212 Ipod touch with white screen

    My little brother was playing my ipod and now its got millions of seconds before i can access my ipod. Now tho the screen is white with static horizontal lines going across the screen, no pictures nothing so when i plug it into itunes, itunes ask for the passcode but i cannot see anything. What should i do?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    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.

  • Ipod touch 4g cracked screen w/ warranty . battery issue too

    hey everyone
    i just came back from my long vacation, while on vacation my little 3 year old sister dropped my ipod (long story) but yeah now my ipod touch 4g 8gb is screen is cracked. the ipod still have warranty until january. is it possible to get a replacement/repair from apple?
    also on the very same ipod i have some battery issue, it takes me roughly almost 2 hours to charge my battery full and it drains like crazy! maybe 2 hours of usage and its done.
    thanks!

    An iPod that has been dropped such that it cracked the screen will no longer be under warranty. You can take the iPod to an Apple Store and hope - it's been reported that in some cases the technician has been allowed to replace the iPod under warranty even though Apple is not obligated to do so for user abuse - but you may well have to pay the replacement charge.
    Regards.

  • Ipod touch Mail Blank Screen- can't access mail

    Hi,
    When I try to open mail on my ipod touch, it opens a blank/black screen (still with the grey bar at the top with the time) but never comes up with the inbox or any menus to interact with (can't access my mail).
    I recently added another imap account. Does it have troubles with too many messages or otherwise- surely it would say that rather than staying on a blank screen.
    Any thoughts?

    Have you tried resetting your ipod by holding the Home & Sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo?

  • Would a genius in a genius bar replace my ipod touch 4g cracked screen for free under warranty

    So yesterday I dropped my Ipod touch 4g 8g and the screen cracked really bad... I know apple doesn't cover this but im still under warranty.. Would a genius in a genius bar give me a new one for free here in Calgary AB..?? please i really need help............
    P.S i know already how much it cost if they dont give me a new one

    Damage due to dropping is not covered under the warranty so a genius at a genius bar is not going to give you a new iPod for free.  They may offer you a replacement, same or comparable unit, at a fee, but again, not for free.

  • Ipod Touch 4g cracked screen

    so today my ipod accidentally fell out of my shirt pocket and hit the floor, the screen is cracked at the edges and some at the middle do you think apple will replace the ipod or replace the screen for free as it is under warrenty?

    then can i claim that i dont like it when the ipod heats up and is a burn hazard to my children? it heats up when you play games on it for like 20 min (puzzles & hardcore) you think they will replace it then?

  • IPod Touch 5G w/ ios7 freezes while entering passcode

    So my iPod touch freezes up while I'm in the middle of entering the 4 digit passcode to unlock it. It doesn't happen all the time, but pretty frequently, at least once a day. I have to do a hard shutdown by holding down the power and sleep buttons in order to get it unstuck. Is anyone else seeing this? I hate to bring it back to the Apple store because they have already replaced my iPod once for a different issue (screen flicker that time). I am not having the best of luck with these iPods.

    Try:
    - 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.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • 8gb iPod Touch 4g Cracked Screen

    A friend of mine dropped it off the top bunk when at a cabin and the screen got really cracked. As the months went by, the top left hand corner started coming off. Its not too bad now, but as of today, the screen wont work. Its not reading my fingers at all. If I go to my local Best Buy store, can they give me a replacement and install in store?

    If you bought it from Best Buy and got Geek Squad Protection on the unit, then they can send it off to service (or replace.  Whichever is deemed more cost efficient).  Stores don't typically keep replacement screens on hand.
    If not, they won't just give you something for free.  If it's not fixable, it might qualify for a trade-in so that you could get some money from it.

  • HT1212 Broken screen, can't enter passcode.  How do I get my pics and vids off without entering a passcode

    How do I get my pics and vids when my screen is busted and my phone is password protected?

    It's a good thing you have your Camera Roll backed up from the last sync you did with either iTunes or iCloud!
    Your Camera Roll photos can be retrieved from the last sync once you get your replacement iPhone.  The rest of your photos are backed up elsewhere on your computer from your last sync.

  • Henry dropped the Ipod touch and cracked the screen.  How can I get this fixed.

    Hi,
    Henry dropped his Ipod touch and cracked the screen and put in a passcode and now has forgotten his passcode.  Need to know how I can get the screen fixed and or if it is covered on the 1 year warranty?  How can I unlock the Ipod without the passcode?
    Any info would be greatly helpful!

    Take to an Apple retailer. Such damage is not covered by your warranty.
    A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). 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. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
    Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
    Connect your device to your computer.
    Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
    Select the Summary tab.
    Select the Restore option.
    When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not necessary to create another.
    Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up, you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
    When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple logo while starting up:
    After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or you see "iPhone is activated."
    The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
    If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
    Placing your device into recovery mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • My ipod touch recently cracked the screen is not very broken, I'm from Brazil and bought my ipod touch in Miami want to know where I can fix it there in the united states

    my ipod touch recently cracked the screen is not very broken, I'm from Brazil and bought my ipod touch in Miami want to know where I can fix it there in the united states? And how much it would cost?

    Apple will not take it as a trade-in for an upgrade to an iPad touch
    The will take it for recycle only
    Your best bet is to sell it on your own and then use those funds to get the new iPod.
