i have tried about 10 times to restore 2nd gen ipod because my 8 year olds friend typed in wrong passcode nothing is working how do u unlock this thing

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
     1. 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.
     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 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.
     3. 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.
     4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
         When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
     5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
     6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

Bring up Control Center. Do that by swiping up on the home screen starting down just above the home button.

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 the screen blacks out or 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.

How do you unlock the iphone 4 that was brought from the UK to use in Turkey??

I brought an iphone 4 from 3 UK and brought it to Turkey and paid 115tl to register it and 35tl to Vodafone for unlocking. But the phone has been saying no service for the last 2 weeks. Vodafone has told me there is nothing they can do and that i just have to wait. How can i solve this problem, could it possible that the phone is still locked to 3 UK??

If 3 unlocked your device and confirmed it, then it should be unlocked.
Did you restore the device with the new SIM? If no, do it and it should be unlocked.
If its still locked, call AppleCare and they can tell you, if they can see in the system the unlock request from your carrier (AppleCare should be avaulable in Turkey now, or trough Skype the UK AppleCare).
If they dont see it there, then 3 did not unlock the device and you need to contact them.

How do you carry the darned thing around?

OK, this will sound like a really stupid question, but seriously: I've ordered a new RAZR MAXX and it seems absolutely enormous to me. This will be my first "smartphone" and while I'm looking forward to all the features and functionality, I'm seriously wondering where I'll put it. It seems too big to fit comfortably into a pants pocket (where I'm accustomed to carrying my ancient, tiny dumbphone.) I see people at work who literally carry "smartphones" around in their hands from meeting to meeting, placing them like status symbols on each conference room table. I'm not into that, and would surely forget to pick it back up and would leave it behind at some point. I see a few people with those belt holsters; let's just say I'm not seeing those as a fashion statement that's for me. So what does that leave? How do you all do it comfortably (and without breaking it by, say, sitting on it?)

Jerry sometimes i put my Maxx in my Oakly Glasses Bag: I put one in another for a little more thickness an Protection an they make for a really good thing to Clean the Razr's Display as the Bag is Made for this type of thing. Jerry Here is Also the Body Glove Case Not a Big Picture but if you Click on it. The picture should get a little Bigger in size.. B33

How do you fix the indexing ipod issue in chevy equinox

After working properly for over a year, now when I connect my iPod Classic via USB to my Chevy Equinox it starts "Indexing iPod". If play is interrupted by changing to the radio, answering a phone call, turning off the engine, etc., it will sometimes lock up the iPod and sometimes no longer recognize it. In either case, I have to unplug the iPod and either do a hard restart or find my place on the iPod again. I listen to audiobooks on my daily commute and it is getting very frustrating.
Tried using my husband's iPod yesterday and it seems to work just fine.
Help!

Look in your device manager and find out what brand of hard drive you have (Western Digital, Seagate, Toshiba etc.) Go to the manufacturer's website and download their hard drive certification test (free). Run the test on your drive so you can feel that it is not the hard drive. Then run the HP memory test from your utility partition (I think you hit F10 while starting the machine). There is always a chance that your connector to your hard drive is bad or the contacts are dirty but that is an outside shot.

How do you activate the new ipod touch if it won't let you create an apple id?

I just bought 2 brand new iPod touch 32 GB products for my kids and can not create an apple id for them to be able to facetime, text message....etc? There are no instructions or real specific info from apple? I mean you have to have a email address to create the apple ID but hotmail and gmail...etc won't allow kids to have email addresses?

If you already have an account. they only need separate email addresses for FaceTime and Messages.

If necessary, create the email addresses/accounts in your name and supervise their use.
