  • Classic ipod, screen locked by a pass code

    my kid has a classic ipod, screen locked by a pass code, she forgot the code, how could we unlock it?

    Hi there hsvsheng,

    iPod: How to use the Screen Lock
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1350
    Unlocking iPod
    You can unlock iPod in one of two ways:
    Enter the combination on iPod using the same controls you used to set the combination. If you do not enter the correct combination, the digits onscreen flash red. When you enter the combination correctly, iPod will unlock and return you to the last viewed screen.
    Connect iPod to the primary computer you use it with (the first one iPod synced with), and open iTunes. When you disconnect iPod from the computer, it will no longer be locked.
    If you can't unlock iPod using either of these methods, you can restore your iPod to factory settings. Please note that this will erase all data on your iPod. Afterwards, you can add your music and data back to iPod.If you want to change the primary computer that your iPod is associated with, do this:
    Restore your iPod. Warning: The restore process cannot be undone. All of your songs and files will be deleted. Always make a backup of your important data.
    Connect your iPod to the computer that you want to be the primary computer.
    Open iTunes and synchronize.

  • My ipod has a black screen.  I have tried to hold the sleep/off button and menu button at the same time with no luck.   I connected to my computer and tried restore on itunes -  still with a black screen a voice said "screen locked'  code 542

    My ipod has a black screen.  I have tried to hold the sleep/off button and menu button at the same time with no luck.   I connected to my computer and tried restore on itunes -  still with a black screen a voice said "screen locked'  code 542

    Is the iPad charged?  Plug it in with the charger/wall outlet for half an hour and try again to reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.

  • Changing Screen Lock Code

    Having bought a used 5th Gen iPod from a store I discover that it already has a screen lock code set. Neither myself nor the store know what the existing code is for me to enter and thereby change the code.
    Is there a way around this? Does a full restore also restore the code to factory settings so I can start anew?

    Thank you, I did a restore anyway to solve other problems, but as it is still reloading the iTunes library I have yet to discover what happened to that code.

  • Seriously Screwed All Bcus a Screen Lock Code

    I changed my screen lock code and went to change it but realised i had forgotten it. Went down to the computer to find what to do and it said restore. Thats all fine and good so i updated my itunes like it said but now the USB port wont recognise my iPod for me to restore it..What do i do?

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

  • Forgotten Screen Lock Code

    As simple as it sounds, I forgot the code to my screen lock, and I'd like to be able to use this feature, but I cannot create a new code until I submit the old (forgotten) one.
    Is there any way around this?

    Connect the iPod to your computer with your iTunes library that you normally sync with, and it will unlock.

  • I don't know my screen lock code!!

    Hello. I am totally new to iPod. So I hardly know what to do. I was fooling around with my iPod one day,then I accidentally screen locked my iPod. It began to vibrate a little after I locked it,but when I turned my iPod off and on again,the screen lock was on!! How do I figure out my code?

    Try this, connect the iPod to the main computer you use it with (if you use it with more than one, this is the first one it was connected to) and open iTunes. Then disconnect iPod from the computer, it should be unlocked: iPod: How to use the Screen Lock
    If you can't get it unlocked you'll need to restore it. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings with iTunes 7
