HT1459 how do i get my ipod to stop being disabled?
my ipod is disabled, how do i fix it?
Hey madeleinewalter1107,
Thanks for the question. The following article provides some solutions if you are having issues with passcode lock:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can 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.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. 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 shut down.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
5. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

How do i get my ipod to stop repeating a song
I accidently pressed something while walking and now my ipod nano is repeating the same song over and over. I tried shutting the thing off, but it continues to repeat. How do I get it to play all the songs in the album?
ThanksSee your iPod's User Guide for steps on disabling the Repeat setting.

How do I get my ipod to stop making me log into my account?
My new ipod has been asking me to log in to my apple account. When I do, using the correct passwrod, as it tells me when my password is incorrect, the ipod immediately asks me to do it again. I can't do anything on the thing. Why is it doing this and how do I stop it?
What account is it asking to be logged into?
Just what are you doing?
iCloud?
iTunes/App Store?
Try
- 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.
- Then try again
Reset the password:

On the iPod you can enable a sleep timer: Settings -> Extras -> Alarms -> Sleep Timer.

I inadvertently pressed "emergency" then put in the too many times. I am technologicallly handicapped---that is how I got in trouble to begin with --> by playing with my iPhone 3G! Any and all help will be very much appreciated.
In one place on iTunes it says there are no problems then it tells me to press icons that are not available. My phone goes to telling me it is disabled ( phone is much like its user) to the phone key pad and that is as far as I am able to use the phone.
A needy nurse.Although contacts are included with the iPhone's backup, not a good idea to depend on that and a cell phone alone for such important data which can be lost or stolen, damaged beyond repair, or a problem installing an update.
Contacts should be available on your computer as well and/or there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts and other data over the air such as with an a Apple iCloud account (which also provides for updating your iPhone's backup automatically and wirelessly when the iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network when connected to a power source), or with a Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail account.
If your iPhone's backup is being done with iTunes on your computer, the backup is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process. -

How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)
So I'm adding new songs to a very old playlist? Is there anyway that when I add them, they automatically go to top of playlist? How about getting one song to the top of a playlist. That drag to arrange function is very annoying because it is slow and the playlist does not scroll up very well on a PC.Make a new playlist by pressing the little plus button at the very lower left corner of iTunes. An new playlist will appear in the Source pane called "untitled playlist". While the name is highlighted, you can change it to whatever you want. Drag all of the tracks from all the albums that comprise a single book to that playlist. Sync that playlist to your iPod.

I am a new ipod touch user; have gone through all the dowload/install stuff, plugged the device into my computer but ipod screen still shows plug in to tunes. I am totally computer useless - how can I get my ipod to work, please? Charles Jones.
You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right? If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:

When I want to get an app, an error message comes up saying I need 3.0 software update. How do I get my ipod updated in itunes, when itunes says my ipod is already updated?
OR if I cannot update to software 3.0, how can I find apps that will work just for my ipod touch?It sounds like you have a 1G iPod Touch, in which case you can only upgrade to iOS version 3.1. Here is a link to purchase the update.

How does one get an iPod nano to turn on other than the "normal" way? This one has been dropped and all I can get is a blank screen. I have tried holding down the HOME button to restart it but no go. When I connect it to my computer, I am told to enter the PASSCODE which I cannot do as there is no touchpad.
David ..
Your topic refers to an iPod touch
Then you say: How does one get an iPod nano to turn on ......
If it's an iPod touch, try a reset.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, whether it's an iPod nano or touch, it probably needs service > Apple - Support - Service Answer Center -
When I try to download anything from iTunes or the App Store on my iPod Touch, my sister's Apple ID pops up instead of mine. How can I get my iPod Touch to display my Apple ID and ask for my password rather than display my sister's Apple ID?
You can try to tell the iPod to use yours:
1. Tap Settings
2. Navigate to "iTunes & App Store"
3. Tap Apple ID:
4. Tap "Sign Out"
5. Sign in to your account.
