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.

  • HT201240 how to reset password on ipod

    how to reset password

    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.

  • Reset password on Ipod Touch 2nd generation

    How do I resset my passoword on my I pod touch 2nd generation it is disabled

    The apple password on my iPod is different to the apple password that I use on my iPad.  I
    can retrieve my e mails from my IPAD and my net book. I just thought that when I changed my apple password, it would have applied to all of my devices.  Apart from that I found your reply very helpful and being as it was the first time I had posted the question, I was impressed with the quick response.  Once again. Thank you

    hey there, as far as i know, you'll have to hook it up to iTunes and restore the ipod. 
    Hold down the power and home keys down for about 10 seconds each while plugged into itunes. When the screen goes black, release the power button but keep holding the home key until itunes says. We have detected an itouch in recovery mode.
    From there you can restore as normal via iTunes.
    Just make sure everything is backed up first.

    My 3 week old Ipod is now frozen with a white screen and some vertical lines.  I've tried resetting it many times by holding the on/off button and home button at the same time for various lengths of time.  When I plug it into my PC to restore it, itunes doesn't even recognize it's plugged in.  Help?

    That does not always works. Here is Apple's complete instructions:

    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
