I had my IPod rebooted at a store.  My 9yr old put a password on it and had to set it back to factory settings.  Now can't get it to open beyond the screen with the white apple.  I've tried to sync with Itunes, the it won't recognize the device.  HELP!

Apple store reset my Ipod to factory setting, now can get Itunes to recognize the device.  The I Pod won't turn on past the first screen with the pic of the apple on it.

Try the following:
- A reset and then connect to your computer and try to restore.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- See if placing the iPod in Recovery Mode will allow a restore.
- The see if DFU mode will allow a restore.

- If you can't turn the iPod full off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least a hour try the above again
- If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • How can i get a pdf from my iPhone to my new macbook? I keep trying to sync but it says it will delete all the books/pdfs on my phone. I don't have this pdf on my computer and don't want to lose it. Help please!

    How can i get a pdf from my iPhone to my new macbook? I keep trying to sync but it says it will delete all the books/pdfs on my phone. I don't have this pdf on my computer and don't want to lose it. I am using the same iTunes account. Any suggestions?

    Hello ashlyn888,
    Based on your post it sounds like you would like to sync your iBooks content with your computer. I have located an article that may help you in this situation. While you can sync this data with your computer you can also use the sharing button to send PDFs using various sources:

  • IPhone 5s. Never synced it. Passcode protected. Broke the screen. Need to rest back to factory settings. Can this be done?

    iPhone 5s. Never synced it. Passcode protected. Broke the screen. Need to rest back to factory settings. Can this be done?

    Hello Slimshaney74,
    if you have a Mac or a PC with iTunes installed you may be able to do this. If your screen is broken but your iPhone still reacts to touch you have to just turn it off, and if your iPhone doesn't respond to touch, you have to hold both home and power buttons for about 7 seconds (it might not work from the first try) so that it shuts down. Afterwards get your lightning to USB cable connected to the computer but not to the phone. You hold your phone's home button and while holding it, you connect it to the cable, iTunes should say something like "iTunes detected iPhone in recovery mode"and a window with a restore button should pop up. You click on the restore button and iTunes will walk you through the process afterwards. If the iPhone has Find my iPhone feature activated you will have to enter your Apple ID password at the activation process after the iPhone is restored.
    Hope that I helped!

  • HT1414 my ipod was stolen and i want to set it back to factory settings so that no one can access my personal information. i don't have the serial code. i need help!

    my ipod was stolen. I do not have the serial code, and I want to set it back to factory settings so that no one takes my information, Help!!!

    The serial number is not required and would not help

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - 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.

  • My Android Galaxy S5 has locked up and gone into endless loading while trying to update to the Kitkat update. I have set it back to factory settings and tried again and it has locked up again. My phone no longer works. What else can I do?

        Oh goodness,SLEEPER888. We wish you didn't have this problem while trying to complete this update.You have done quite a bit of troubleshooting on your own. If the phone update does not take, we would need to replace it with the warranty. Is it still locked up?

    Once you get it going you need to make sure you do the following so that you can sell the phone.
    Turn off imessage in settings/messages
    Turn off Facetime in settings/Facetime
    Delete icloud account in settings/ilcoud
    Erase all data and settings in settings/general/reset

  • Tried to restore iphone 4 back to factory settings now on emergency call only screen?

    tried to restore iphone 4 back to factory settings now on emergency call only screen? it also says hook phone up with itunes. well i have an old mac and my itunes isnt up to date and cant be installed up to date because of the old software. what do i do?

    You'll need to update your system or fine a system you can use to activate it. There's no way around it.
    If you can get to an Apple store and explain the situation to them, they 'may' be able to hook you up with an OS upgrade to Leopard assuming you have a G4 or G5 mac that can handle it.

  • HT4539 my ipad is disabled and I can not get it to open my main screen

    my ipad id disabled and I can not get it to open my main screen,  how can i regain access to the product

    If it's showing the red disabled screen then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you do it via a different computer then :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

    On the page where you enter username and password after entering and pressing "Log in" the page just stays in place. If you look at the error log you see

  • Can't open iTunes 'cause it won't recognize the library

    Hi,
    Today I got a new Macbook Pro; I restored my information from a Time Machine disk, just as I did before a year ago when I got my iMac. In that ocasion everything went right. But today when I try to open iTunes it says that the iTunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created with a more recent version of iTunes, and asks me if I want to download the new version. I agree to download it but then it says my software is up to date. What would be wrong? How can I get to my music again? (almost 100GB of music!)

    Here is a direct link for iTunes 10.6.3.  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1426
    Download it and install over your current installation.  No need to delete anything.

    I have been trying to sync a Palm IIIc with my
    Powerbook which is currently running Tiger (I cannot
    run OS 9 at all).
    I bought the IIIc on eBay and it works flawlessly
    except for the fact that it won't sync. I can click
    on the hotsync square on the screen of the IIIc and
    get two options :
    1. Direct Serial
    or
    2. IR (Infrared) to PC/Handheld.
    It came with a cable that has the docking connection
    on one and and a dual splitter on the other - one
    lead has the serial (female) end and the other is a
    USB connector. I am able to charge it on the PB
    using the USB but likely only because it is a powered
    USB port.
    I have tried two different serial to USB adapters and
    so far, the Powerbook still is not seeing the IIIc.
    A friend is giving me a cradle from his old IIIe but
    it has a serial connection. I expect I will have the
    same problem with this cradle.
    Does anybody have any suggestions ?
    Is there an adapter that can be used with OS X/Tiger
    I have installed Palm Desktop 4.2.1 and have iSync.

    Hi,
    I have the same problem with my IIIc and powerbook G4 (no syncing with isync).I went ahead and bought the keyspan serial adaptor and still can't get the palm to sync. I also have desktop 4.2.1, running Tiger. I can get the palm to Hotsync with a PC via the standard serial port as well as the Keyspan serial adaptor to usb.
