HT4113 I have an ipod touch and am locked out. not sure how to reset it

I have an ipod touch and it is disabled and not sure how to enable it. can anyone help?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
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 synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.

  • Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

    Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.  Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices.  After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected.  Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP.  Any solutions other than turning it on and off again?  Not a Merry Christmas morning.

    Ok, so, a couple of things:  Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod.  Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
    Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel.  Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem.  Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet.  Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod. 
    Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

    The voiceover on my ipod touch has stopped working.  Not sure what i have done to stop it.  anyone any idea how i get it started again?

    Turn VoiceOver on or off: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver. You can also set Triple-click Home to turn VoiceOver on or off. See “Triple-click Home” on page 129.

  • I have an IPod Touch and am traveling to Europe. How do I charge it when in Italy?

    I do not want to travel with my MacBook Pro and only use my IPod Touch and an IPod to listen to PodCasts.  How do I charge these devices in Italy?
    Do I need to purchase another power cord?

    All you will need is a wall outlet adaptor. The chargers can auto-switch from US to European power.

  • I forgot my password to get into my IPod Touch and am locked out.

    My daughter locked me out of our IPod touch.  My computer is so old that I am not able to get into the Apple Support to see how to fix it.  Does anyone know a way around this?  Is there a way that we can unlock the touch without hooking it up to the computer?  She never used to put a password on it until she started taking it to school and was afraid other kids would get it and look at her stuff or get into the apps.  Can I call Apple and ask them or do I have to hook it up to the computer to unlock it?  Please help!  I am desperate!!!

  • IPod touch disabled, password lock out, not appearing in iTunes devices

    Hi,
    My daughter has entered the wrong passcode on her new iPod touch multiple times and now there is an error message on the screen saying iPod is Disabled - connect to iTunes.  When I connected it to iTunes, the following error message appeared : 'iTunes could not connect to the iPod touch because it is locked with a passcode.  You must enter your passcode on the iPod before it can be used with iTunes'.  This is not possible because the iPod is disabled.  The iPod does not appear in as a device in iTunes, nor is it visible as a folder on 'my computer'.  iPod has never been synched with any computer and it does not synch when connected to my PC.  I have tried re-setting the iPod by holding down both the on/off  and home buttons but to no avail.  All of help I came across directed me to the device in iTunes but it is not possible to do this.  Can anybody help?
    Thanks in advance.

    Place the iPod in recovery mode and restore via iTunes. For recovery mode:

  • I have an ipod touch and want to purchase an ipad can i use one account

    I have an Ipod touch and want to purchase an ipad.  Can the same account be used.  Can my purchases on my ipod touch be synced to my ipad?

    the only limits you'll face is if any of your iPod touch apps are for the iPhone only, they'll show up as tiny in the middle of the screen. There'll be a 2X button that'll allow you to zoom it up...some look better than others. All depends on how high resolution they are made.
    Other apps will be in the app store with a + by them, those are universal and scale to fit the screen they are displayed on. Other apps you'll need to buy the iPad version. And you'll find some apps that are iPad only.

  • I have a Ipod touch and recently added new music to my itunes library on my laptop. When I sync with my ipod, the new music does not show up on my ipod even though the sync process seems to be working.

    I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!

    What happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

  • If I have an ipod touch and just purchased an ipad do I use the same apple ID or create a new one?

    If I have an ipod touch and justpurchased an ipod, do I use the same apple ID or do I create a new one for each device?

    Keep the same apple id.  By all means.   I tunes will recognize the different devices, and you can share or not share whatever you want.
    The kiss of death is multiple apple ids.

  • I have an Ipod touch and recently bought an Ipad Mini,  can I use the same apple ID on theses devices

    I have an Ipod touch and and Ipad Mini.  Can both share my Itunes Library and my Apple ID?

  • I have an iPod touch and an iPad4. iTunes lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't show me what's on the iPad. Any ideas?

    I have an iPod Touch and an iPad4. iTunes recognises both items and lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't work with the iPad. In fact iTunes does not respond to clicking on anything in the iPad window even though it knows that it's connected. Any ideas?

    Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. Likely not worth it for a your iPod. They do not fix yours.

  • I have an iPod touch and am thinking of getting an iPhone as well, will I be able to sync my iPhone with my existing iTunes library?

    Hi, I have an iPod touch and am thinking of getting an iPhone to use as well, will I be able to use them both from the same computer or will there be some problems?

    Yes.  There is no limit to the number of iPads, iPods, or iPhones you can sync with one computer, iTunes library, or account.  See this article for different ways to manage multiple devices.
