HT201352 Tried everything and still get ipod disabled on screen Help please if possible

I have tried to reset and erase and all the things online and I still get ipod disabled on the screen I don't know what is wrong Can someone offer a different suggestion

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
For how to restore:                                                             
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
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.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
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.
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 and 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.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.

  • I have tried everything, and still get Error 100... Please help!

    Hello, I have trouble with downloading anything by adobe.com.  I have done mainly everything.  Well, my problem is, whenever I download a trial, I can finish and open Adobe Download Manager, but when I attempt to sign in to my account in Adobe Download Manager, it says:  "Error communicating with adobe.com (Error 100) Check your network connection, and restart Adobe Download Manager."  This happens with everything I download made by Adobe, as well as I am having problems with Google Chrome.  Well, anyways, I have tried-seriously - EVERYTHING.  I mean seriously...  I
    uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Download Manager
    cleared cache
    cleared cookie
    cleared browsing data
    ran ccleaner
    disabled firewall
    used another browser
    cleared my cache [manually]
    accessed AppData\Roaming\.com...
    restarted computer
    ran as administrator
    I probally did what you are about to type...  Anyways, If I could get some help, I would seriously be VERY happy.  I want Google Chrome and Adobe.
    Thanks

  • If you tried everything and still get USB Parent d...

    For those that have tried everything and still receive the USB Parent fatal error.
    I have tried everything on these forums and spend several hours getting it working. Finally I got it to working and with the latest version.
    Here is what I did:
    1. Run Nokia PC Suite Cleaner (No reboot)
    2. Run a search through windows drive (probably c for anything "Nokia" and deleted.
    3. Run registry cleaner (CCleaner).
    4. Took groa's advice and added registry entry:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Wdf01005]
    "SystemComponent"=dword:00000001
    5. Checked through Add/Remove programs and deleted anything Nokia related.
    6. Reboot computer.
    7. Plugged in phone to charger.
    8. Folled PC Suite installation and plugged in phone when prompted.
    All drivers were installed successfully and phone is now recognized.
    I hope this helps anyone that is still having this annoying problem.

    Glad that worked for you. I don't know what step did it, but it did and that's what matters.
    *** I forgot to mention for step 3. I ran CCleaner for both Cleaner and Registry (making a registry backup). And lol I typo'd step 8. folled = followed.
    For anyone else that doesn't know how to make a registry entry, here's how:
    1. Make a new notepad file and add the following:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Wdf01005]
    "SystemComponent"=dword:00000001
    2. Save the file as X.reg (the X can be whatever).
    Then you just click the file and import into your registry.

  • Tried everything and still getting "service error"

    After reading through and trying out a number of the proposed solutions to getting past the service error on the updater, I still am getting the same messages. Whenever I have my iPod plugged in to the computer and open iTunes, I get the "please reinstall iTunes" message because the software for communicating with the iPod isn't installed properly, or so it says. I have done all of the suggestions on the apple page for this problem, including the one that involves reinstalling the COM interface to no avail. I was just able to put the iPod into disk mode and when I plugged it back into the computer I saw the circling arrows in the top left-hand corner of the screen revolving but they disappeared for split seconds going on an off for about 20 seconds. Then when I opened the iPod updater, the arrows stopped while the updater was initializing and after a long wait i got the service error again. I have updated iTunes to the version 5.0.1 (whatever was available 10/5) and have the newest version of the updater (9/23/05). I do not have high speed usb, but i was under the impression that this was not crucial to making the iPod work. Can someone give me some way of fixing this problem?

    well the problems started when i updated a while ago, i just haven't been in the country for quite some time. i have reset and i am not able to restore using the updater. I have done whatever i can by pushing the buttons on the ipod (reset, disk mode) and i've uninstalled itunes, deleted all the stuff i was supposed to and then reinstalled, but always had the same problem. to me it looks like the updater is able to establish contact with the ipod but that it somehow fails after a few seconds. i would really like to do all i can with this before returning it, but if there is nothing more i can do i will send it in.

  • Set up ipod touch to cox email, ive tried everything and cant get it to work. thanks!

    set up ipod touch to cox email, ive tried everything and cant get it to work. thanks!

    Here's an answer from the net:
    Go to Settings/Mail,contacts,calendars/Add account choose other, choose Add Mail Account. Fill in name, email address, password and description on the screen that comes up. Save those.
    One the next screen tat comes up click om POP in the first line then fil in the host name as
    spop.west.cox.net or spop.east.cox.net or the one to go with your region.
    Note that is not a misprint, that is spop (secure pop)
    Fill in your username one more time (the password should have carried over from previously)
    Fill in your outgoing mail server like smtp.west.cox.net (change for your region) and click Save.
    When all the settings are verified a checkmark will appear next to them all and you are good to go.
    If it says something like "can't connect via SSL would you like to ..." then you probably missed the step about selecting POP on the second screen and are trying IMAP so go back and try over with POP. Or perhaps mistyped soemthing.
    Once everything is working you can go back into the settings and see that it has automatically connected on port 995 and that SSL is on
    Note that you probably won't be able to send email from a wifi in a cafe or similar as cox won't let you connect to their smtp from outside their network.
    I haven't tried receiving mail from a non cox connected wifi yet but I suspect it will work just fine. Anyway these settings work for me using my ipod to my home wifi router connected to cox.
    I could not find a definitive guide when I searched so I hope this helps other folks trying to configure this.
    I got the spop from "Mail for Mac OS X 10.5 configure SSL / POP" here:

  • I've tried everything and still am unable to join my own wifi network from my iPhone 4s

    I have an AirPort Extreme running the latest software. I've tried everything and still am unable to join my own wifi network from my iPhone 4s, iPhone 3Gs, iPhone 3G, my girlfriend's iPhone 4. The only devices that will connect to the network are our MacBook Pros and iPads, (1 and 2). I have reset the airport to default settings, I've restored my iPhone, I've even disabled the password. I am still unable to join my open airport extreme wifi network. PLEASE HELP!

    Saying you tried everything isn't helpful. Perhaps describing in detail what you've done would allow people to better assist you.
    If you're ever experiencing strange problems connecting to any wifi point you can always try resetting your network settings on your iPhone itself. This solves the majority of wifi problems.
    To do this go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will clear all of your saved wifi hotspots and passwords, and hopefully solve your issue.
    Please try this and respond with your results.

  • When opening Bridge I get this message: Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in the cache preferences to correct the situation. I have tried this and still get this message. when I delete image

    When opening Bridge I get this message: Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cash. Please try purging the central cache in the cache preferences to correct this problem. I did this and still get this same message.Also now when deleting images they don't delete till I close and reopen Bridge. What can i do to fix this problem?

    Maybe a Preferences reset can help:
    Numerous program settings are stored in the Adobe Bridge preferences file, including display, Adobe Photo Downloader, performance, and file-handling options.
    Restoring preferences returns settings to their defaults and can often correct unusual application behavior.
    Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) while starting Adobe Bridge.  
    In the Reset Settings dialog box, select one or more of the following options:  
      Reset Preferences 
    Returns preferences to their factory defaults. Some labels and ratings may be lost. Adobe Bridge creates a new preferences file when it starts.
    Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache
    Purging the thumbnail cache can help if Adobe Bridge is not displaying thumbnails properly. Adobe Bridge re-creates the thumbnail cache when it starts.
    Reset Standard Workspaces
    Returns Adobe predefined workspaces to their factory default configurations.
    Click OK, or click Cancel to open Adobe Bridge without resetting preferences.

  • I've tried everything and still no response on Ipod

    My duaghter has a Ipod mini, Pink in color. I plug it in and it says go to apple.com/ support for help. Did that ordered new battery and put it in and still ends up showing me a frown face and a battery that is not charging on the screen when I plug it in. tonight I found out that her friends over this weekend pluged in to our computer to download songs and their ipods are now frozen. I'm about ready to throw this thing in my lake out back. Sure would like to know if any body has any good ideas. Thanks, Shawn

    "tonight I found out that her friends over this weekend pluged in to our computer to download songs and their ipods are now frozen"
    That's a little odd and maybe there's a problem with your computer? There's also a pretty comprehensive post here about the sad iPod icon.
    The sad iPod icon is one of the most difficult errors to cure as it usually means a hard drive problem.

  • I tried everything and still can't install-is there an executable?

    I read all the posts in the shockwave forum and tried every
    suggestion and it won't install. First, it was an endless loop of
    always asking me to accept the active X control, click on the gold
    bar, etc, back and forth. I tried accepting all cookies, turning
    off my firewall, changing my security settings to downright
    dangerous, and now there is nothing on the download page but that
    blank box and I get one prompt to run an active x control and then
    nothing. My time settings are correct, I uninstalled the old
    version and now I have no shockwave at all, I have tried
    everything! The only thing I haven't tried is uninstalling Flash
    because I'm afraid if I do that I won't be able to reinstall that
    either. When I go to the support page there is a link to download
    an executable file but that just takes you back to the original
    installation page and the same problems.
    Please help me if you can! I'm getting gray hairs over this.
    I know I always have problems installing shockwave when the new
    version comes out but I can never remember how to do it. Why don't
    you just put a link to a file you can download to your desktop and
    install? Shockwave support team, are you there? I can't even figure
    out how to contact Adobe support to get help other than this
    forum.

    Thank you very much for your reply. I really appreciate it. I
    found the link you just posted by doing a google search for "I
    can't install Shockwave". When I clicked on your link it didn't
    work for me but it looks like the same thing. Here it is again for
    anyone else:

    Are the links wrong on the download page or something?
