Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

How can I reactivate my locked ipod touch 5th generation when i forgot my information????
I dont remember my apple id or my password i bought it made the account an never really used it in the beginning and forgot the information and i turned it off while it was downloading new software and i havent been able to use it since what can i do? I have a bad memory.
Without the ID and password you will not be able to activate it. If you don't know your iCloud ID, you can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. If you don’t know your password you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.

if i factory reset my ipod touch(5th gen), can i reset it to the option 'set up as a new ipod', and then i can just go into the app store/itunes store and log into my apple ID so i can just restore my music and apps and not icloud with photos, contacts, ect. and then later i can add contacts that i need/want instead of them restoring them from icloud?
The reason i asked this question is because i have been wondering this a lot ever since i got an exchange on this ipod (and ive only had it for a few weeks now) because my last ipod had a lot of problems. so after i restored my ipod with my computer/itunes, i downloaded apps that i wanted, and then when i went to the storage to see how much storage was left, it said 0 bytes. i was freaking out because i didnt know how that could be, i mean, cause like, that is impossible when i just 'purchased' it, that the space was full but i looked and all my pictures were on this ipod and i already put them on my computer so i dont need them anymore thats why i wanna reset it now so there is nothing on it so i can have more space for stuff to do and download on it.
it is updated to iOS 8 but that happened when i purchased it, so i didnt have a choice to update it even though i didnt want to update to iOS 8...
and i hope you understand my problem..
i would REALLY REALLY appreciate it if someone could tell me a solution to my problem!!! thank you so much!
-sierraHey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

TS1441 My iPod touch 5th generation is stuck in recovery and restart mode
I have an iPod touch 5th generation and i plugged it into my laptop and it told me about the new update so i updated, but then it restarted and it put my iPod into recovery mode and no matter how many times i try and recover it it wont go away. I've searched the internet for all kinds of answers and nothing is helping, and my town doesn't have an apple store. PLEASE HELP ME
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How do I get my ipod touch 5th generation to always use my car speakers when I plug it into the USB port?
If the problem occurs after you restore it to factory defaults/new iPod then it is likely a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I have an iphone 4s on my itunes account & added my daughter's new ipod touch 5th generation. Now everything from my iphone is on her ipod & still on my phone too, even my phone # shows up as her ipod. How do I separate the 2 devices? Do I need to reset her ipod? If so when I plug it into the computer won't it happen again?
Don't select his apps to sync.
Your iphone will only sync what you select -

How do you get the speck gemshell case off an ipod touch 5th generation
I am trying to get the speck gemshell case that I purchased along with the "new" ipod touch 5th generation. It seems like a solid piece of clear see-through piece of plastic and it will withstand lots of drops with the added "lips"on the front of the ipod touch (one reason why i got this case. The other reason was to have my red ipod seen by all who wish to look at it.) but my problem with it is that it seems "too solid". The case is hard to put on and REALLY hard to take off. I have read on some websites that you can take a credit card as a way of taking the case off but I want to figure out how to take it off without ruining my ipod or bending the case?
Contact the manufacturer

The manual does not show that feature natively for the iPod. Later iPhones and iPads have that feature natively.
