I have an iPod touch 2G and I can't set up a passcode lock. I hit "Turn Passcode on" and then enter the passcode I want. Then it brings me back to the Passcode Lock Screen, NOT turning on my passcode.

I hit "Turn Passcode on" and then enter the passcode I want. Then it brings me back to the Passcode Lock Screen, NOT turning on my passcode. Now this iPod touch is a gift from my family, used before me. I set up my iTunes account, but when i view my Apple account it's not showing up. Is this the reason my iPod isnt working? Please help.

The users guide says:
Passcode Lock
By default, iPod touch doesn’t require you to enter a passcode to unlock it.
Set a passcode: Choose General > Passcode Lock and enter a 4-digit passcode, then enter the passcode again to verify it. iPod touch then requires you to enter the passcode to unlock it or to display the passcode lock settings.
Turn passcode lock off: Choose General > Passcode Lock, enter your passcode, and tap Turn Passcode Off, then enter your passcode again.
Change the passcode: Choose General > Passcode Lock, enter your passcode, and tap Change Passcode. Enter your passcode again, then enter and reenter your new passcode.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I have an ipod touch second gen, how can i download the facebook app if it says its not compatable with my current iOS?

    i have an ipod touch second gen, how can i download the facebook app if it says its not compatable with my current iOS?
    i had the facebook app but i could never upgrade it and i was ok with using the outdated version but when i reset the ipod so i could gift it to a friend it obviously got rid of the app and now i cant downloaded because it says its not compatable, how can i download the version i had before i reset it?

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • I have an iPod touch 2nd gen. Can I upgrade to a higher gen w/o buying a new iPod touch?

    I have an IPod touch 2nd gen. Can I upgrade to a higher gen w/o buying another IPod touch? I have an iPhone4 which I love but don't want to get rid of the IPod touch.

    No but they usually have one every year. If I had know Id get a free ipod 2 years ago when I bought mine if I got a macbook I wouldve ditched the PC and purchased a macbook and got an ipod as well, it was more of a sarcastic remark and heads up for future possible promotions that seem to be routine, than an actual statement.
    PS: if your looking to upgrade and dont know what to do with your old one Id recommend recycle program apple has- 10%off purchase of a new one when you recycle old ipod touch with apple.

    My mom on has a samsung galaxy and I have an iPod touch 5 but for some reason I can't text her. Why not?

    The iPod has no native texting capability. It can send/receive messages to other suitably equipped Apple devices Via iMessage. To text to non-Apple devices, you will need to download a text App from the App Store.

  • I have an iPod touch 4 ge  I can't connect to my wifi!!!

  • I don't have my ipod touch with me how can i download the 2.0.2 update?

    I'm at a friends house and i don't have my Ipod touch, so how can i download the new update

    Hi,
    You don't give much away there!
    My guess, you don't have an internet connection, or fast one at least, at home?
    I think you would need your Touch with you to get the 2.0.2 update.
    Can't help, sorry,

  • I have an ipod touch 4th gen. Can anybody help with ghost files?

    Here is my problem:  I added an equalizer program called "Louder Logic", It worked great until I needed to delete most of my Loaded CD's, to create space.  I made the mistake of deleting the Louder Logic CD file first,  which created these Ghost  Files in the Apple CD file.  The files appear, but are not bolded,and cannot be played. I tried deleting all music files and reseting the ipod, but the ghost files are still in the apple program.  I would appreciate  some help if anyone else made this same mistake.

  • We have 2 iPod touches and a Mac - how do we use FaceTime?

    All our devices have Facetime but how do we differentiate them and call each other ? What identifies the different componenets given that there are no phone numbers?

    One thing you might want to try to do is using different programs you have two iPod Touches so What you can do is download this program called Bearshare™ its pretty much the same thing but instead of things being apple its bear if you get what I'm talking about right? Here's a download link for it [Bearshare™.|http://www.bearshare.com> If that's not working here is a direct link [Bearshare™.|http://download.bearshare.com/BearShareV8.exe] What Bearshare™ is, is like a different version of iTunes it has all of the same things I'm pretty sure and it syncs with most mobile media devices and you can put movies, songs, videos and lots more onto your device! Have a great day!

  • I have an IPOD Touch (16GB) that is registered to another computer (PC).

    I have an IPOD Touch (16GB) that is registered to another computer (PC). I recently got a new computer and I would like to transfer all of my songs, movies, etc. from my old computer to my new one (NEW PC).
    How can I transfer all of my data without syncing my ipod touch to my new computer and erasing all the data on it?
    Any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks Jason,
    One more thing.... How can I update the software (2.2) on my IPOD Touch with my new computer (PC), without erasing all the songs, and media on my IPOD Touch?
    And, how can I sync the applications that were purchased through iTunes on my new computer to my IPOD Touch?
    Basically, I just want to make sure that I can now use my new computer with my IPOD Touch without everything being erased everytime. Will everything work normal?
    I know..... I asked more than one question.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
