I changed my password and hit the wrong key. How do I get back in without restoring it and loosing everything.

I had to change the password on my 1st Generation ipod because my freinds knew the password when i changed it i set it to 0000 and when i locked it it would not accept my 0000 password. Is there anyway to unlock my ipod ir change the password or even get the currnt password I have to unlock it without erase all og my apps and restoring it to the factory settings.

No. You will have to Place the iPod 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.

Welcome to Discussions - the fact that the S.M.A.R.T. status is not recognized and the flashing questions mark appear seem to indicate that your hard drive has failed. If you have access to TechToolPro or Disk Warrior, try to use them to check the drive status. This will likely not work, and I'm afraid your disk is toast.
You could try to remove the drive and put it in an external case and try to mount it on your MacBook, but I don't hold out much hope for that either. You can try using [Data Rescue|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/211375] to retrieve your data.
You can also take it in to Apple and see what they say. Please let us know how things turn out,

I was trying to buy more space on iCloud , hit the wrong key, and now it is hanging on my iPad. What to do?

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

Hello fuchs (guess), If you cancelled while downloading the 4GB Lion, no problem, download again. Snow Leopard should run (start holding the option key).
If you cancelled during the install process, I do not know. In this case you could try to start with the CMD + R keys pressed, and choose the restore, which may work if the creation of the restore partition of Lion has finished.
If that does not work, reinstall Snow Leopard with the CD (start holding the C key), after that download the Combo Update 10.6.8 to update the Snow Leopard completely, then redownload Lion (App Store, click "purchases" while holding the Option Key, find Lion, click "install"). If you want to have your own copy of the Lion installer, you have to copy the installer to a Memory stick or burn to DVD before you install, see else where.

My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more.

My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more. Was working while watching a movie but when I pulled it out from the computer and put it back in the system would no longer mirrorr the screen on the TV.

The best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar. The evaluation will be for FREE!

After turning on iMAC the sign in page comes up and accept my password. It then goes to a page with a background pictures but nothing else. If I leave it there it eventually fades and shows the clock. How to I get it to open from there?

I switched my music to a new computer and all the music doubled how can I get rid of 4500 duplicates

I switched my music to a new computer and all the music doubled how can I get rid of 4500 duplicates songs? Will Music Match get rid of the extras for me?

The iPod is not a storage device, all songs should reside on a computer and you can only sync to one machine. However, if these songs were purchased from iTunes you can reload them (see link). If not, and you have no backup, then they are gone.

When I am viewing an E-Mail and click on a link, how do I get back to the page that had the link?

I am replying to myself. I called for Tech support and found out that when I tapped on the link I went to a web page in Safari and to double tap on the home button at the bottom of the iPad and then tap on "Mail" to get me back where I was.
I hope this helps anyone else with the same question.

How do I prevent my emails from being sent without my hitting the send key. Many of my emails are just "taking off" and sending while I am in the middle of typing. If this is a keyboard shortcut, I must disable it, so how do I do that

Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

How can you get back into your iPhone if you don't remember the passoword?, How can you get back into your iPhone if you don't remember the password?

Help! My daughter changed the password on her iPhone and she can't remember it. How can she get back into it. Restoring is not an option so I'm hopeful there is another way. Thanks!

Hey KimmyP123,
Thanks for the question. I understand your daughter has an unknown passcode on her iPhone. The following article provides a few solutions for this situation:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
I notice you are looking for solutions other than restoring, the article does outline how you can use iCloud's Find My iPhone:
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Thanks,
Matt M.
