HT1320 how do you reset a locked ipod touch

How do I reset my ipod - my son created a password and its locked but he can't remember what he put

You have to restore via recovery mode by following the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 and may need to do that more than once to succeed.  If you have a backup of the content, restore that after you have regained access to the iPod.

  • How do you restore a locked ipod touch

    My daughter locked her ipod touch with a password before we ever created an id on it.  I went to the apple store and was told to just hook up the ipod and click the restore button.  when i connect the ipod to my computer, itunes does not reconize it since it is locked and i can't click the restore button.  can anybody help?  i can't find anything on the apple website that helps.

    Here's the process you need to follow:
    Plug the iPod into your computer.
    Open iTunes if ot doesn't automatically open.
    Press and hold down both the Home and the Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time.
    Count to eight (8) seconds.
    When you reach 8 seconds, the screen will go black. At that instant, let go of the Sleep/Wake button while still holding down the Home button.
    Keep hilding the Home button down until a window pops up on the screen that says something like "An iPod in recovery mode has been detected. You must restore the iPod."
    Click OK, and click the Restore button in the iPod Summary window.
    If this doesnt work the first time, try it again. It may take several attempts to get the iPod into recovery mode.

    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:

    ALl we can say her in this Apple forum s to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPOd.  Yu can try placing the iPod in recovery mode. For recovery mode see:

    Otherwise you will have to go to elsewhere.  Jailbreaking voids the warranty and Apple will no longer help.

  • How can you tell if an iPod touch has the new apps?

    Having seen the updates to the ipod Touch I'm finally ready to buy one. From the keynote I gather that new units shipping from the factory after 15 Jan have the new software, old units do not and, unusually for apple, even if you buy an old software unit after the announcement, you don't get the software for free. Worse still, I'm in one of those countries they sell the touch, but don't have an iTunes store, so if I buy an old one, I'm stuck with it, cannot upgrade.
    Is there any way to tell from the box which version you have, change in part number, anything? I'm sure they aren't doing the M$ sticker approach "now with 1.1.3 and lots of new apps". The return policy out here in Singapore is basically you can't, so I need to figure out in the store if the box I'm buying is new, or old, and I have no clue at all how much stock is left out there.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello, 
    If you're going to buy in a real shop then why not have the retailer open the box for you. Especially if they don't do returns - that's a must.
    The next suggestion is a little more hit-and-miss but the fourth and fifth digits of the Serial Number are the week of production. If you get a week 02 or later it should be okay. Perhaps someone with a brand new one could confirm.
