Place the iPod 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.

I shop for for apps on my ipod touch and when i plug my ipod into itunes and it says erase and sync what does that mean?

hello all,
i normally shop on my ipod touch (because frankly i cant be bothered to plug it into itunes then shop! ) to shop for apps and song and etc. and because i have a wall charger in my room theres pratically no need to go the computer! so sometimes when im on the computer i want to use my ipod touch as well so i charge it on the pc.
well to cut the story short everytime i want to shop on itunes it comes up with this note that says "your ipod is synced with a different pc etc" then it comes up with erase and sync? so my question is what does syn mean? because im worried if i choose ok it would get rid of all my apps
- someone help me!

- It means what it says. Your iPod is synced with a different iTunes library. To transfer purchases to this computer:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- If you want to make this computer your syncing computer see ths previous discussion:

Here are Apple Steps for Error 21:
This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
My additional advice:
Also Error 21 can occur with DFU Mode Restore, try Recovery Mode Restore. Restart computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click Restore button of iTunes.

If you are concerned that iTunes will really set it up as a new phone and wipe your data, then create an iCloud backup first, and then use iTunes.

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 another cable
- 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.

Why do songs i delete off of my iPhone redownload when i plug my phone into iTunes?

I have over 1000 songs in my Itunes library and I don't want every single one on my phone. When i first plugged in my phone, it downloaded all the songs onto my phone and I took the time to go through every single song and delete the ones I didn't want. but EVERY. SINGLE. time I plug my phone into itunes, they download all right back onto my phone! I have the setting "manually select music to iphone" so why does it do this? it makes me so mad!!
PLEASE HELP!!

Hi chawni,
Sounds like you have the Sync all music box selecte on the Music Profile tab.
Manual sync only means that iTunes will not automatically start syncing when you hook the device up to it. However, when you click on the Sync (or Apply) button, it uses the profile you have set up to determine what to sync.
Hook up your device to the computer where your iTunes library is, and select the device when it displays.
To the right, you will see the Profile screens. Click on the Music one. Set it up to sync the specific music you wish. Once you have completed setting it up, click Sync (or Apply) and it will update your device with only the music you have selected.
Cheers,
GB

When i plug my iphone into itunes now its not showing up on the side what do i do?

When i plug my iphone into intunes its not appearing on the side anymore so i cant do anything what do i do?

To clarify, I meant to say, when I plug my phone into my computer and connect to ITunes.

When i plugged my iphone into itunes for the first time, it asked me if i wanted to sinc with my ipod that was already on itunes and i did. Now, it deleated all of the iphone applications that it came loaded with. How do i get these back?

I clicked the button to sync with my ipod touch, because i thought it would give me all my picture and notes, which it did, but it also took away facetime and all the other software that the iphone 4s comes with. I also lost all my contacts. I dont care if i end up losing my pictures and notes, i just want my iphone back to the way it was when i bought it. I'm restoring it now, but it says its going to take 6 hours..I dont know if this is right or not.. help?

It can't do that by itself. You had to click through several prompts telling it to restore it from a backup of an old phone for that to happen.
If the phone was not backed up to iCloud before this happened, or to another computer, then the data is gone. There is no way to recover it.

My ipod is disabled and it says to connect to itunes and i dont know what to do

Connect the iPod to yur computer and restore via iTunes. For how to restore see:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
Place the iPod in Recovery mode if necessary to allow the restore.

You need to restore it. If it doesn't work on our current computer, try borrowing someone else's. If your iPhone is jailbroken then you are pretty much screwed. Also, you should try putting it in DFU, which would restore it thoroughly. Follow these steps:
Plug your device into your computer
Turn off the device by holding the Sleep/Wake or Power button and swiping it off
Hold the power button for 3 seconds
Begin holding the Home button without releasing the Sleep/Power button for 10 seconds
Release the power button and continue holding the home button until you get a popup from iTunes that your device is recognized as being in recovery mode.

When i plug my ipod into itunes it shows the music i put on there, but when i disconnect it says i have no music.

I have a 6th generation ipod nano, When i plug it into the itunes it shows the music i have on there, but when i disconnect it says i have no music. What do i do?

You may want to do a Restore on the iPod in iTunes. The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. If the problem is caused by data corruption in the iPod's storage, a Restore should fix it.
