I found an ipod touch lying on a street but it says 'ipod disabled so how do i unlock it?

my ipod touch is disabled,what can i do to open it?

I found an ipod lying in the street in its carry bag with reading glasses, a $1 & nice earphones.  The ipod has been named, but no personal data.
I have tried the neighborhood Facebook pages, but no luck so far.
Doesn't Apple have a lost & found site?  I have the serial number; model number; I don't believe giving it to the police will get anywhere;  hopefully this ipod is registered & Apple can contact the owner.
Any ideals?

    It sounds like you have a 5G Nano.  See your iPod's User Guide for information on how to delete these videos from the Nano via the Nano's interface.

  • My iPod touch is disabled, it says to connect to iTunes and I did but it is still disabled! How do I get it not to be disabled without also erasing all my files and data in my iPod?

    I really need help with this, my iPod was disabled by my brother and I don't know how to get it back to normal again. I connected it to iTunes and it still shows up there with all my songs. However, the iPod itself is not working. I've tried multiple things but I don't want my data to be erased so im a bit cautious about what to do. Also, it would help if someone could explain what exactly happens when an iPod is 'restored' 'restored mode' or in 'recovery mode'. If someone could help me it'd be much appreciated. Thanks

    You need to restore.
    Everything should be on your computer, so you can just sync it back.

  • Hi, I found an ipod anyone know how to find the owner so I can give it to them

    Any idea's can I bring it into an apple store and can they find the owner from the serial number

    Apple cannot help.  If the iPod is not locked, go to Utilities > Settings > Mail, Contact, Calendars.  There you should find the owners email address(es), so you can contact him/her.  If it is locked the only thing you can do is turn it in to the police.

    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the headingBlocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

  • Accidentally locked iPod nano. How do I unlock it w/o knowing code? Not even resetting it works.

    When I turn my iPod on, it asks me for a combination for the lock - but I don't even remember setting a lock. How do I make it go away? I tried resetting it, but that doesn't even work.
    Please help. Thank you.

    Your only option is to connect the iPod to your iTunes library and restore it to factory settings.

  • HT1414 if an ipod touch is locked and you cant pull up settings on the ipod, how do you unlock it?

    If an Ipod touch is locked & you can't pull up the settings screen, how can you unlock it?

    - 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 another cable       
    - 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.
