locked ipod touch with password - tried to reset ipod by holding power button and home button for 10 seconds and it came up asking for password again

If you forgot your screen-lock passcode then:
Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and 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 iPod backup that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTuns purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • My friend gave me ipod touch with all his accounts, i created new accounts but when i went on the appstore and tried to update apps installed by him,i was asked his account's password! i dont know his password.how can i use my account to update apps?

    You can't.  Apps and really all content purchased/downloaded through one Apple ID is forever tied to that Apple ID.  In the case of Apps they will always request that Apple ID to update as they are licensed to that Apple ID.
    In reality, the Apps were licensed to that Apple ID by the developer.  And cannot simply be given away to you for you to use.
    He should have wiped the iPod clean so you could set it up for your use without any of his accounts or purchased content as you are not really licensed to any of those Apps.
    Your friend should have followed this support document before giving the iPod to you:

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have and ipod touch 4th gen that has the white screen of death but my home button doesnt work. how do i reset it?

    i have and ipod touch 4th gen that has the white screen of death but my home button doesnt work. how do i reset it?

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  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.

  • Is there any way to find an ipod touch with out the "Find my Ipod" App?

    Could I have some one else track it down like some one from a apple store?

    No. It must be active on your device, and you must have registered it with Find My Phone service from Apple.

  • I'm replacing my 3rd gen Ipod Touch with a 4th gen. How do I delete all my stuff off the 3rd gen but have it available for my 4th gen on my PC?

    I'm replacing my 3rd gen 16gb Ipod Touch with a new 4th gen Ipod Touch. I'm wondering how I can delete all of the apps, photos, music, etc.
    from my old Ipod but still have all of the items available to install on my new Ipod?  Help please!

    Right click on your old iPod in the device list and choose "transfer purchases". This will copy all bought media from your device to your iTunes library.
    Back up manually by right clicking again and choosing "backup" to save all settings, 3rd party app data, contact info, calendars etc. The content of a backup is also described here: iTunes: About iOS backups
    After that set it up "as new device", to delete everything and get it back to factory settings.
    Connect your new iPod, let iTunes set it up and use the manual backup from your old iPod to restore from. This should sync all data back to your new device again.

  • Ipod Touch with GPS and Compass

    The three main features of the Iphone would be realy nice on an Ipod. The only that has keeped me from buying one is all the features that I want are on the Iphone and not the Ipod. I dom't want to pay the high fee for AT&T as I have sprint. Does anybody know if an upgrade like the Iphone features are in the works for the IPOD

    I see that they have brought out the Ipod Nano with the FM radio and video. Lets hope that one day we see the same as well as GPS and FM on the IPOD touch. They bumped up the memory which is awsome but still waiting
    Perfect IPOD Touch
    GPS
    FM radio
    WiFI (Got it already)
    Accelerometer (Got it already)
    64 Gig (Got it now)
    Video
    3MP Camera or 2MP for snapshots of my family
    And all the cool games.
    You get this and you don't really need a PC for anything almost

  • Iphone/ipod touch apps won't load on ipod touch

    I have tried to download apps that indicate that they can be used on iphone or ipod touch with 2.2. My ipod touch is updated but the apps won't load. Any ideas?

    i also have the same problem, i came across this topic hoping to find an answer. luckily i had just solved my problem. this happened to me twice... i resolved the first problem by restoring to factory setting which is not a good solution cause all my FREE downloaded apps were erased too. so i have to download again.... lately it happened again.. same problem.. but i have resolved it by updating my ups in app store... HOPE this wont happen again.... cause its really bothersome since there arent so many wifi spots here... programs i had are mostly free so maybe its one reason for this problem.... the last app i used b4 the problem was a pdf viewing app... hope this helps...
