I cant reset my ipod
i tried resting my ipod an i left in over night so it could reset. and i got up this morning an it wont reset. what should i do?
Without knowing the current status of the iPod or what problem you are tying to fix all can suggest is:
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.

any other way of resetting? I need all of my data that was on it before.
Hey 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.

I cant reset my ipod because of old users passcode
i recently purchased a used ipod touch 32 gig n it has the old users passcode that prevents me from resettin it any suggestions plz
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: How to back up
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
However, if the iPod has iOS 7 and displahya the Apple ID of the previous owner and asks you to enter the password, yoh have an expensive brick unless yo get the previous owner to unlock it. -

apps were blocked on my ipod and i cant reset it because whoever locke it lost the code what do i do to fix that?
There is no easy solution in your case. The following is the standard procedure. Perhaps you can temporarily use a different computer until you get the other one repaired.
Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
I bought a ipod touch and i cant reset icloud without password
I BOUGHT A USED IPOD TOUCH AND ITS BEEN RESET EXCEPT FOR ICLOUD AND I CANT RESET IT WITHOUT THE PASSWORD. SO HOW DO I RESET IT
Get the password from the person from whom you purchased it. It sounds like you encountered the Activation Lock
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
That is a new feature to help prevent theft. Apple will not help.
You iPod may have been stolen or lost and yo may want to contact the police.
