HT1212 Up to how long will my iPod touch 5th generation be disabled with ios7? The screen doesn't say anymore...

I can't remeber my iPod touch 5th generation's pass code. I know the four numbers included, just not the sequence. It disabled yesterday at 6pm, and it's now 11am and still disabled. Also, when I first got my iPod, my friend synced it with her iTunes, so I can't plug it into mine.
I have a lot of pictures and songs that I really don't want to lose, by just restoring it, if I can even do that.
So, my question is either,
1. Up to how many hours can my iPod be disabled for? (The new iOS won't tell us!) And how long will it disabled after each try??
2. Is there any way to get the pass code off my iPod touch without losing all my apps, music, pictures, ect.?
Thank you!!

If it says "iPad is disabled" it is never going to time out. At that point, your only option is to restore it in iTunes.
If you have a backup in place now (in iCloud or iTunes) once restored, you can restore from backup, but the only way to un-disable the device is to restore it.

Can I disable album artwork on my OS 7 Ipod touch 5th generation from showing up in the list?

Can I disable album artwork on my OS 7 Ipod touch 5th generation from showing up in the list of song/playlist, etc?
I liked how easy it was to find songs without going thru so much artwork. I know I can do it on itunes, but can I do it on the ipod itself?

Good to hear you found the solution.

While restoring my iPod Touch second generation computer is turned off the screen goes black what do I do?

While restoring my iPod Touch second generation computer is turned off the screen goes black what do I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

On my ipod touch 5th generation i cannot connect to the internet i did every step in the help section. I reset the wifi, I turned the wifi off and on and still nothing. I even tried to put it in manually but still couldnt connect

The product i am using is a Ipod touch 5th Generation, version 8.1. On friday i had laid my ipod on my jacket which was laying on my mom truck and i went to play basketball. So when i got back it was off, at first i thought it died but the ipod was cold. It wasnt turning on i put it on the charger and it still wouldnt turn on. So i kept it on the charger all night and in the morning (saturday 10/25/14) it turned back on. So i went to the wifi to connect to my home wifi and it said no wifi is found. So i reset the network settings on my ipod and turned off the wifi box for 30 seconds then turned both back on and it still said theres no wifi. I followed every step but it still doesnt show any wifi. I tried to enter it manually but it keep saying "Could not find the network". But when i do it on my brothers phone it works. Can someone please help me get wifi back on my Ipod touch. I did all the steps but still nothing work.

If not this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Then:
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? See 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:
iOS: How to back up
- 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.

How long does an ipod touch 4 generation battery last?

Ok, I recieved a refurbished iPod touch 4 gen from Apple after my previous ipod touch 4 gen had problems with the home button not responding. This "new" ipod works great, but recently I've been having problems with the battery... I downloaded the recent update for fixing numerous things with the ipod touch from Apple... And itworks great again... But I'm curious as to WHY my battery is loosing its charge so fast... I'll be playing ANGRY BIRDS SPACE on my ipod for like 20-30 minutes, with the screen brightness lowest that it could go and on a full charge, then press the home button and the battery is half gone! should I set up a repair with Apple? Or is this normal? I just hate going through the whole process of the repair and then getting an ipod that may not work as good as this one... I do have a lot of memmory on my ipod, its a 32 GB, black, not dropped or scratched, 9.9 Gb is used for: 6 movies, 17 apps, and 67 songs... The apps listed previous DO NOT include the already downloaded apps, such as: Calendar and camara etc... Ohh too i dont have any photos stored on my ipod either. Please respond! Thanks!

Once it is charged fully, its charged. Nothing further happens leaving it plugged in (although doing so won't hurt it). Once it is charged, charging stops, completely.
These sorts of conditioning myths are really nothing more than a hold over from previous, older battery technology, and these ideas have been outdated for many years now. They simply do not apply to modern smart Lithium battery technology.

How can I unlock ipod touch 5th gen currently disabled and never sync'd with itunes

Basic situation. Ipod touch 5th gen. Passcode forgotten and tried too many times such that ipod is disabled and requested to connect to iTunes. Problem is that the ipod was never sync'd with iTunes so the connection fails. I've only owned it for 9 months or so. I know I can recover all my music through iTunes and my applications through the app store since all of my content was legally purchased. The problem is that I need to also recover my contacts and pictures since this is the only place they exist.
I have read about methods up to 4th generation where you can access a particular file on the device via computer and rename it to unlock the device. That would most likely allow me to then sync/backup via iTunes and recover my data. Problem is that I can only access the DCIM folder via windows manager and it contains no data. Perhaps there is a way to access the device a different way?
Is there a way with the 5th generation to either reset the lock (from disabled to locked with a 1 min wait for retry as an example) to allow me more opportunities to try other passcodes that I may have set (including mistypes etc) or to remove the passcode completely and let me set it to something I will write down this time?
Please do not reply with the standard apple responses of 'sync with itunes' or 'factory reset' and no, I did not sync with the icloud either (I tried but it was unsuccessful for some reason).
The answer doesn't even have to be a free one as I would be willing to pay for the solution if it were guaranteed to work. Since apple seems to want to charge for any type of support, even to ask a question, I am relying on the community for help. Thanks much.

You have to place the iPod in Recovery mode as Apple says and erase the device. It is a security feature.
or
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.
There is not other way

Ipod touch 5th generation is disabled

Last night my ipod 5th generation wouldn't take my password. I was entering the correct one and it kept saying it was wrong and then it locked me out after a couple of tries. Now it says Ipod is disabled connect to itunes. I know this can be restored but the problem is I have a few important videos and pictures in it that I need. Is there a way I can fix this without having to restore? I bought a new laptop (dell inspiron 14r n4110) so I never got a chance to sync my ipod with this laptop so whenever I plug it into itunes it says
"iTunes could not connect to ipod touch "name's ipod touch" because it is locked witha passcode. you must enter your passcode on the ipod touch before it can be used with itunes"
I would love to do that but again its disabled and I can't do anything
please help
what are my options?
do I loose everything
call apple?
I tried plugging my ipod into my laptop hoping the folder for it will show up in my computer and i can go and delete the passlock file like you do with older ipods but this wouldn't show up in my computer. I even made sure to click show hidden folder etc option in the folder options but nothing

You will have to put it into recovery mode, losing anything that has not been saved to your computer.
Sorry.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

IPod touch 5th generation won't connect to the tv after doing up grade

iPod 5th generation won't connect to the tv after doing an software update. Get an error message (this accessory is Not Supported by iPod touch) please help me with this

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.

How do I access my iPod Touch (5th Generation). Broken Home Key, Locked Screen, No assistive touch currently off and no access to itunes on original PC.

So a friend had damaged her iPod touch by dropping it some time ago. It has been sitting in her drawer ever since (she got a new device). It is now out of warranty and she said I could have it, but only catch is i'd have to fix it some how.
Problems are:
1) iPod is locked - She doesn't know the passcode it was set to.
2) Home key broken - Unable to do a reset as per the many links I see online.
3) Assistive touch is off - Unable to turn this on as the phone is locked and I can't unlock it.
4) We no longer have access to the original PC that it was sync'd with. I've managed to get it linked to my itunes but can't do anything with it do to the fact it won't let me as iPod is locked.
So basically it almost seems there is nothing that can be done but would appreciate your help if possible. Ideally if I can get it unlocked without losing the data so I can keep the music that is on there it would be good. If not then a full reset is fine.
Can this be done? Can we turn on assistive touch without unlocking the phone and no home key? Please help,

Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
For how to restore:
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

HT1384 Is it ok to charge my iPod touch 5th generation over night with my iPhone power adapter plugged to the wall?

So yea I'm wondering if its ok to leave it over night plugged in

Hi Baderk,
Yes, it is perfectly fine. The charger for the iPhone and iPod are the same charger. I charge all of my devices overnight - most of them are plugged in until I use them....(which means that they might be plugged in for several days).
Cheers,
GB
