HT2731 how do i restore the factory settings on ipod?

daugther put her password wrong 3 times. now blocked how do i restore factory settings?

If it's showing the red disabled screen then you will need to connect it to the computer that it's normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPod and restore/re-sync the content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPod into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • How to restore the factory settings

    The ap 3502i has been registered to the wireless controller, but now want to restore the factory settings, repeated after the upgrade or will appear before the registration information of the wireless controller, the problem how to solve
    thanks

    Two other ways besides what scott metnioned:
    1. Through the MODE button:
    - Power off the AP.
    - While keeping the MODE button pressed, power on the AP.
    - Still keep the MODE button pressed until the Status LED turns to red and then release it:
    2. Via installing the recovery image:
    - Download the recovery image for 3500 from Cisco site.
    - on AP Console write the command "Debug capwap console cli".
    - Then write the commadn "Archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp:///"

  • I've added to ios6 to my new ipod touch with no problems. I'm trying to now restore the factory settings but the screen is frozen with an itunes sign and lead pointing towards it. The ipod won't even switch off. Can anyone help as it's driving me crazy

    I've added ios6 to my new ipod but tried then to restore the factory settings. It won't extract any settings and the itunes then tells me that the server cannot be reached or is unavailable. I've been trying all day. Now the ipod has a itunes sign and a computer lead pointing towards it on the screen and this is frozen. It won't switch off or do anything else. Any ideas as this is now driving me crazy.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My toolbars are mostly empty. What happened? How do I restore the original settings?

    My toolbars are mostly empty. What happened? How do I restore the original settings?

    * If, on Windows, in Firefox 3.6 the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down or press F10, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
    * Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click on it to make that permanent. See [[Menu bar is missing]]).
    * Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
    * If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to one of the toolbars.
    * If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

    I need to restore the factory settings for my I phone

    To restore your iDevice, you have two options.
    1. Plug into iTunes and select your device and click restore.
    2. On your iPhone, go to Settings>General>Reset, and click which one you would like to use.
    If your device is locked up and you can't get into it,
    1. Open iTunes
    2. Power Down your Device
    3 hold down your home button and plug in the device to the computer at the same time
    4. Keep holding until your device shows the Plug into iTunes image.
    5. On iTunes, click restore
    Wait for the device to restore to factory settings and your done!

  • How can i restore the factory setteings after formatting my ipod ?

    I faced some error while trying to sync new songs in my ipod , so i did format the ipod from the windows 7 system , then itunts couldn't recognize it when it's plugged , and re-plugging the ipod many times didn't work ... so the situation now is my ipod is not recognized by itunes , and i only see message recommending restoring to factory settings , while itunes is always failing to connect to apple server (known that my connectivity is perfect) , and restoring the settings from my ipod doesn't seem to work .

    Using Windows 7 and installing latest iTunes is very problematic, please read these iTunes posts, which describe a few correct steps to reinstall iTunes 10.5 if it is not working correctly.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16665727#16665727
    I have been fortunate that iTunes 10.5 can't run off my OS X 10.4.
    Good luck.

  • My computer won't allow me to restore the factory settings.What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to restore my computer to the factory settings, but it won't allow me to erase everything from the hard drive. It won't even allow me to delete me as a user. What am I doing wrong?

    You can't erase a volume while booted from it. Start up from the installation DVD, erase the volume, and reinstall.

  • Can anyone help me!!! i have an i pod touch and the 4 digit passcode has been forgotten. i have tried a number of times to restore the factory settings on i tunes and have put the i pod into recovery mode, but attempts keep timing out

    my son has forgotten his 4 digit pass code for hios i pod touch. i have been instructed to disable it and connect to i tunes to restore factory settings. when I do this the download time is anything up to 20 hours and it keeps timing out. it is now saying that i tunes cannot connect to the i pod because it is locked with a passcode and saying that i must enter the passcode - can anyone help?

    - To get around the passcode issue, place the iPod in recovery mode. For how to see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - If you are getting a network timeout error during the restore, disable the computer's security software during the restore.

  • How to restrict restoring to factory settings on iPhone 4S

    Hi,
    Is there anyway to prevent my phone being restored back to factory settings if someone was to steal it without using a pass code every time I use my phone? Exactly like the restrictions but I couldn't find out how to stop them restoring my phone back to factory settings.
    Thanks

    Nope. Since it looks like you are on ios7 then in order to restore you need the apple id and password you used to set it up. Anyone that steals your phone cannot restore it. Although not using a passcode is not recommended because then if it is stolen they can get all your personal information off the phone.
