I accidently locked myself out of my Ipod, it said connect to ITunes so I did but nothing is happening and I don't know what to do! HELP!!!!!
Happened over Christmas holidays, I thought my sister knew my passcode(which she didn't) but then I never had chance to practice it and I forgot it!! HELP PLEASE!!!!!
You need to connct the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes on th comp;uter. If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or if yu do not have the syncing computer, place the iPOd in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
For how to restore see:

I put my ipod on voice control by accident so i typed in my password because I wanted to listern to my music it said it was wrong. So i typed it in over and over again until it said connect to itunes so I did. Then while I was at it I updated it I waited 30 mins and then I couldn't turn it on. When it finally did turn on it still said please connect to itunes. So i restored it and rebooted it everything. And it still says connect to itunes. I go on itunes and it says ipod touch is in restore mode unlock password. Well I can't do that if my ipod is disabled. Please 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.

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.

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. -
I disabled my ipod and it said to connect to itunes so i did now nothing is happening. What do I do?
I disabled my ipod today. I changed the password and forgot it. Pretty stupid move my way... So i ended up disabling it for hours! After a while it said Ipod disabled, connect to Itunes so I did. Nothing happened and I need help. Any suggestions?
Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPod
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPod
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPod
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPod. Data will be lost if you do not have backup. -
basically the title says it all...I've been using this for the longest time and now after i was syncing the ipod while downloading an update for Itunes the sad face ipod icon shows up and everything i try won't fix it. I'm wondering if anyone knows how they can help me fix it...please!
The Sad face icon is usually a very good indication of a hardware malfunction or failure usually with the iPod's Hard Drive, which would also explain the loud clicking noise you are hearing.
I assume you have seen this article yet?

My iPod Touvh 4th Generation won't turn on. It will not charge even after I used a few chargers and will not connect to a computer. The Home button is broken and I don't know if the Lock/Sleep button is now broken or stuck as well. I believe there may be a problem with the battery or the backlight. I've had my screen replaced once by some stooges. What should I do?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recoverymode use one of these programs.

- 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.

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. -
Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop? It pops up every single day.
Erica,
I can, with 99.99% certainty, tell you that you are absolutely right in not wanting to download or install this "Helper," whatever it is (but we can be equally certain it would not "help" anything).
I cannot comment as to Oglethorpe's recommendation of 'adwaremedic'; I am unfamiliar with it. His links to the Apple discussion and support pages warrant your time and attention.
It might be really simple -- Trying looking in your Downloads folder, trash anything that you don't know with certainty is something you want to keep, and then Secure Empty your Trash. Then remove the AdBlock extension, LastPass, and Web of Trust extensions to Safari and re-boot. If the issue goes away, still be extraordinarily careful in the future.
Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be that simple to get rid of, in which case I'd then try the line by line editing in HT203987.
I have no further suggestions (other than a complete wipe and re-install...but that's a pain because trying to restore from Time Machine would simply ... restore the Mal).
For the rest of us, please post when you find a solution.
Best.
BPW

What if my ipod touch 4th generation can't update and now the only option is to restore it.
And i don't know what happens if i press restore?
Will it show my back up and back it up or what?
And if that does happen will all my pictures stil be there?
Also i'm not on a apple computer.To restore from backup see:

I just want to know that if I buy an iphone 4S here in melbourne can i use it in china?
i don`t know whether it`s locked or not and i don`t know what`s the network in china as well.
Can somebody please help？
I am really in a hurry to know it.
Thanks a lot.
P.S: For the iphone 4S. is there any difference for the one from online shop or the actual store?iPhones purchased from the online Apple Store in Australia will be unlocked. To the best of my knowledge, unlocked iPhone are not available from the physical Apple Stores at this time, though you can call the Apple Store in Melbourne and inquire.
Note that the warranty on iPhones is not international, so if you purchase an iPhone in Australia and it needs service, you would have to ship the iPhone to someone in Australia to take or send to Apple for service and then ship it back to you.
Regards.

why is my ipod so slow and laggy? i have lots of space on it, my history is deleted, i dont have multiple apps running! I have an iPod 4th Gen for about 2 years now and I don't know what to do.... Please help
Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
