HT1689 how can i undisable my ipod touch when itunes does not want to connect?

My brother's ipod touch 4th generation was cracked on the screen and was not able to see anything after a while. We finally fixed it and now it says "IPOD DISABLED CONNECT TO ITUNES". We tried connecting it and itunes does not want to connect because it says that the ipod has a passcode and until we unlock it, it will do it. So we our stuck and on top of that, the ipod's power button does not work, so we waited to uncharge the ipod so we can try to connect it again and it still won't do it. We do not know what to do, and we cannot afford to buy a new one. Is there a solutiong for this? Thank You.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

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 backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • TS4006 how can I find my Ipod touch if I have not fully registered in Icloud? I downloaded Icloud but did not complete the registration. I recently backed it up with Itunes 2 wks ago. Will be able to find my Phone ID from that? Please help.

    I lost my Ipod touch. I have downloaded Icloud but did not complete registration. I have back it up with Itunes 2 weeks ago in my computer at home. I am out of town. How can I find my Ipod touch?

    In order to use Find My iPhone (or iPad, etc), your device has to be connected to iCloud with a valid ID/account, the Find my iPhone service has to be turned on (on the device), in Settings>iCloud.  It sounds as though you haven't done these tasks - unfortunately, there's no way to track your lost device.
    BTW, you don't "download" icloud, you register it on a device by going to Settings>iCloud and then click the ON switch and entering your ID/password (perhaps this is what you meant by downloading iCloud).

    Basically from what I read at a quick glance, you'll need to restore and resync.

  • How can I find my iPod touch if it was not registered?

    It is recently bought and didn't manage to register it. Is there any chance to find it knowing only the serial number?

    The iPod can't be locatd by its SN.  The SN can only be used to verify tha the iPod is yous when it is found.
    If you had already set up

    then you might be able to locate the iPod if wifi is on and some other conditions are met.  Apple will not help locate your iPod.  Also see:

  • How can I reformat my ipod 20gb when itunes/laptop freezes

    Hi there
    Last year my ipod did exactly the same thing but I was talked through how to solve the issue by a guy in support. Now they want to charge me £25 for their help, even though I was out of warranty last year!
    This is what's happening. My ipod has started to show the folder icon with an exclamation mark. It's a bit sporadic (sometimes it shows, sometimes it doesn't) and will then show the menu selection. When I choose to play an album, it thinks about it for a while, makes a lot of clicking noises and then may play, or may exit back out to the main menu.
    When I try to connect my ipod to itunes, it freezes itunes, so I am unable to reformat (this is what fixed it last time). How, therefore, do I reformat my ipod when itunes, or windows explorer etc freezes when the ipod is connected to my laptop? I don't believe this is a Vista issue as I was using Windows XP last time my ipod cocked up. Any ideas how I can get my ipod reformatted?
    Thanks in advance.
    Lucy

  • How can I backup my Ipod touch when it's locked?

    Hello,
    My IPod touchscreen won't work, but I'm getting a new one with warranty. I can turn the IPod on but I can't "Slide To Unlock" because it wont sense touch.
    I want to backup all my data/files so I can put it back on the new one. I tried to sync it on ITunes but apparently you need to unlock the device. Any possible way I can backup my IPod without unlocking it? I use windows 7 to sync it.
    Please answer ASAP.
    Thank you.

    No, not to iTunes. However, if you have iCloud backup turned on in Settings.iCloud>Storage and Backup it will automatically backup once be day when connected to a charging source if the iPod has an internet connection.
    Then you can restore from that iCloud backup.

  • How can i find my ipod touch when it has been stolen

    Go to icloud to see if they rested your ipod and see if the internet it on and click play sound

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order
