  • My brother gave me his ipod and he forgot the password what can i do to restore the ipod?

    Is there a way to reset the password?

    Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten password:
    Restore (and reset password) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)

  • My sons iPod touch has disappeared from my find my iPhone account and it can't be located in the house does this mean someone has stolen the iPod and reset it?

    HI my sons iPod touch has disappeared from my find my iPhone account and it can't be located in the house is it possible someone has stolen the ipod and reset it? Please help a confused mum...

    Could be. The battery could also have died or it is no longer connected to the internet

    No app on the iPod is required.                           
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    iCloud: Erase your device
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

    Then restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    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.

  • Let's say I have my Ipod on 24/7 running a random app and is on the charger, what would the life of the Ipod be?

    I have no idea except it should be many years.. However, you should almost fully discharge the battery monthly to maximize the battery life in in the eventwant to use it on the battery.

    This is a image of the ipod already restore, and everytime looks like that!

    If restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod dow not solve the problem you likely have a hardware problem.  In that case either make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or call AppleCare.  If defective, Apple will replace your iPod at no cost.

  • I bought a used 160GB ipod and I cant get my computer to read it. What do I need to do?

    Is your iTunes running the latest version? If not, but the iPod you've bought has been set up to work with the latest version, then iTunes probably will not recognise it.
    In iTunes, select Help/Check for updates. If there is a newer version, make sure you are running that before connecting the iPod again.
    If that isn't the problem - or more to the point - it doesn't fix the problem, post here again so that anyone watching it can suggest the next step.

  • HELP!!! I washed my IPod and I don't know what to do!!!

    Help!! I washed my IPod and I don't know what to do. It got thrown in the washing machine by accident and it was a very special gift from my boyfriend. I just feel terrible. I have let it dry completly and still nothing happens when I try to turn it on. Even if you could tell me where to call or to send it to get it repaired I would appreciate it SO MUCH. I don't know what I'll do if I can't get it repaired. Also it has been engraved so I don't know if that will have anything to do with repairing it, I'm not sure how they do things. Any info will help!

    Have you tried charging it? If that doesnt work then I'm affraid you will probably either have to service your iPod or buy a new one. Service info @ http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
    Hope you get it fixed.
