I have a ipod touch that has been locked by itunes and itunes says i must reset the ipod to unlock it. Is there a way to back it up on a hard drive or icloud before I reset it or avoid reseting it all? thanks

If you previous synced to the computer then you may be able to recovery use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.
Otherwise y have to erase the iPod
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

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.

  • How do I remove a podcast episode from my iPod touch that has been deleted from iTunes?

    I have a podcast episode that I would like to delete from my ipod touch. I have removed the episode from itunes, but it remains on my touch when I sync.

Has anyone had this happened to them and how did you resolve the problem.

  • TS4006 how do i find my ipod touch that has been stolen

    how do i find my ipod touch that has been stolen and it is not hooked up to wifi so i can locate it on the map so i can take a cop and get it back

    - 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. The plocie will dolittle except if they recover it they can return it to you.
    - 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 iPod touch 5 has been losing wifi connection and crashing. It has also lost the correct time. I've reset and rebooted, but nothing has helped. Any ideas?

    My daughter's iPod touch 5 first crashed when listening to iTunes Radio, then it started losing my wifi connection, especially if We went to safari to search. The screen continues to crash, by turning dim then black very suddenly, or green with lines then black. I've rebooted. I've reset. I've tried backing up onto iTunes for a restoration, but have lost many pictures and some apps. One other strange occurrence is that the time has changed on its own. It's like it's possessed. Please help.

    It states the iOS 7.0.2 is up to date. Also continues to lose wifi while trying to check this.
    The crashing is what is slowing time down, I think. It's a half hour off already

  • I have two .xml files with one audio .mp3 file each; one that has been submitted to itunes and accepted. When I try to submit the other .xml file to itunes, with a different .mp3 audio file and changed metadata, Itunes says it has already been submitted.

    iTunes is using your feed at http://vpbc.downloadsvr.com/Podcasts/Audio%20podcasts/VPBC%2004152012%20audio%20 podcast%20945%20service.xml
    When you want to add a new episodes to your podcast you don't make a new feed: you add the episode to the existing feed, then subscribers will see it immediately and the iTunes Store will pick it up in 1-2 days. You don't need to resubmit the feed - indeed you can't.

  • I have a folder "_Serato_" that I need to make actual 100% backups every time I alter the folder (not incremental backups). Is there a way to do this with Time Machine?

    The title says most of it. I have a problem with the software and I need to create real 100% backups each time I alter that folder. I just had an incident where my _Serato_ foldercrapped out on me again and I was excited that my Time Capsule backup would restore what I did from last night. BUT, when I restored from that backup and loaded the Serato Scratch Live program, it only showed the new work and not the old saved work.
    I am not trying to get Serato help here, I am asking how to tell Time Machine to always make an exact copy of my "_Serato_" folder everytime it backs up. Is that possible? Currelty I do this my self by duplicating the folder, but it would be amazing if Time Machine could handle this.
    Please let me know,

  • I have an ipod touch that hasn't been used for a while.  Now we want to use it, but the screen says "ipod is disabled connect to itunes"--but it won't connect.  I have tried to place in recovery mode with directions given but still get the same message.

    I have an ipod touch that hasn't been used in a while.  We want to use it now, but the screen says "ipod disabled.  connect to itunes".  When I connect to itunes it tells me to enter my passcode, however the ipod will not allow me to do anything (and I don't know the code anyway).  I tried to put it in recovery mode as someone suggested by holding the home button while plugging the ipod up from the computer, but I never did get the "connect to itunes" symbol, I continually got the same screen saying "ipod disabled connect to itunes".  Help!

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
