HT1212 Please help! My Ipod wont connect to Itunes and has a thing I have never seen on the screen before.

When I plug in my Ipod touch it has a symbol on it saying connect to Itunes. When I connect it to Itunes it says I need to unlock my Ipod before I can connect to Itunes but my Ipod touch wont even let me put a code in, it just has that symbol. I tried uninstalling Itunes and restarting the computer then installing Itunes again but nothing changed. I have never heard of this before so I don't know what to do!

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

    You are very welcome...few users realize that the recovery mode restore may need a few tries to get it to work...so often just add the caveat.  There is a difference between parents and their children who have lived with technology all their lives

    You will have to put your phone into recovery mode and restore the phone as new. Since you don't have a back up, you will lose all the data on your phone but you will be able to use it again.

  • I need help,  I recently won an iphone 5 in a survey !  I have never had an apple product before.  I have had to drive to Newcastle on two occaisions to attend workshops, they were only just helpful !  most people had ipads , i was only one with iphone,

    I need some help. I recently won an iphone 5 in a customer survey. Could not believe my luck . That was mid March 2013.  I have never used any apple products before.  Today I want to get out my old Nokia E5 and go from there.  I have attended two workshops at an apple retail store at Charlestown Square, they were not very helpful, everyone at the workshop had ipads, i was the only one with an iphone. I know that to navigate around on them is simular, but after going to two workshops, which i had to drive over an hour there and back, just to get some help in how to use a mobile phone is ridiculous to me!  I noticed some problem with , I could hear people i was talking too, they could not hear me, just prior to attending my second workshop,  after much debate I was told that the phone had a manufacturing fault and that I was going to be issued with a new phone.  That was 2nd April, since then i have virtually no reception, can't send txt messages, cannot connect to my wi-fi device,  problems with battery.   The battery , once fully charged does not last 24 HRS,  this morning for example - was 100% charged, made a 2 min local phone call  , at completion of call , battery displayed 80%.   By lunch time it was displaying 56%,  i had not used the phone at all ! i don't understand it!  I have been with the same phone provider for 2yrs now and have never experienced the problems i am having now.  CAN ANYONE HELP ME ?  Yours Sincerely  Tracey.

    Tracy, first you should restart the iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.  This process could solve some of your problems.  Also make sure you have the latest update, go into  our settings>general>software update.  On the wifi issue try restarting your router, if you are still having problems try resetting your network settings, go into your settings>general>reset then tap reset network settings. 
    The battery issues seems normal, the battery will not last 24 hours. 

  • Help my ipod wont connect to the computer help anyone please

    k just a couple of days ago i tried to plug my ipod into my computer to charge and put new songs on it but when i plugged it into the usb port nothing happened the ligth on the ipod wouldnt flash and the computer would not say that it was plugged in. someone please help me.

    Hi,
    If there is no light on the front of the iPod shuffle when connected to the computer, try in another USB port.
    Check for the front status light and battery status light when it is not connected to the computer.
    If you have determined that there are no lights then send the iPod shuffle for service at http://depot.info.apple.com/ipodshuffle/

  • TS1424 IPOD WONT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING EVEN RESTORED BACK TO FACTORY DEFAULT, CAN ANY ONE HELP WITH THIS

    Every time I try to get on itunes store on my ipod it tells me that it "cannot connect to itunes store", I've tried everything even restored the ipod to factory settings and nothing, can some one please give a solution that will work?

    Hi datnativeBUNNZ,
    If your iPod can't connect to the iTunes store, check out this article for some additional troubleshooting steps:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    Troubleshooting on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
    Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to 3G, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts. 
    Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet. 
    Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
    If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections or iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Take care!

    Why wont my ipod connect to the internet? its saying wrong password! its not wrong. Also says mt aplle password is wrong too, I just changed it, and its still wrong (only on my Ipod. Please help.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - 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.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    try putting your ipod touch into dfu mode by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 10 seconds, then let go of the sleep/wake button (make sure it is connected to your computer) and continue to hold the home button for 10 to 15 seconds or until itunes reads it as an ipod touch in recovery mode that needs to be restored, if you need more help on this just go to youtube and type in dfu mode in the search field
