  • My 7 year old has forgotten her password and now her ipod touch is locked and says connect to itunes. I have tried to connect however it will not connect because it is locked. How can I reset her password?

    My seven year old daughter got an ipod touch a few months ago from her father. She has now forgotten her password and it has been tried too many times and so the ipod has been disabled. It now say connect to itunes. I have tried to do this with the USB cable and itunes on my computer. Unfortunately it will not work as it will not connect saying the device is locked and to enter the password.
    This is not the computer that she previously connected to and she may not be able to get access to that computer. Is there a way for us to reset the password preferably without having to restore the ipod and lose everything she has on it?

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

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    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 iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HT1212 my ipad is locked and saying connect to itunes and im trying to connect it but its saying you need to type the passcode in but i cant because its still saying its locked what do i do

    my ipad is locked and its saying connect to itunes which i have done and on itunes its saying ipad can not connect because its got a passcode but i cant type the pass code in because its locked what do i do

    You need to follow the instructions in the second half of that page
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    So you need to click on the 'If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer' heading and follow the instructions underneath it

  • My iphone is disabled and says connect to itunes. I have tried to restore but it ends go back to disbled screen partway through

    My son has disabled his iphone 4 and it says it needs to connect to itunes. When I try to connect it, I get a message telling me that it can't connect because the iphone is lost. I tied erasing the phone on cloud but it still needs to conenct to itunes so this does not work. I have tried restoring the phone but partway through, the phone tries to connect to itunes again and I get the message that it is lost and the disabled message comes back up on the screen. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Did you make sure that iTunes can log into Apple Servers during the restore process?

    Can you try another computer to restore from?
    If this all does not work, you'll have to get your phone looked at by visiting an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place.
    You can also contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

  • My iphone is disabled, it says plug into itunes, but it says to type in the passcode.. how do i fix this?

    I cant plug it into my itunes because my laptop is being fixed.. but even if when it comes back all the data will be lost so if I restore my iphone everything will be lost because I have no backed it up with icloud. I need a way of fixing it without losing the data in my phone.. if there is one.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons..

    No problem! Just follow these instructions-
    turn your device completely off
    UnPlug it from your computer
    Hold the home button (square button)
    Plug your device into computer while still holding the home button
    Hold until iTunes says it detected a device in recovery mode
    Hit restore at the top
    Done!
