  • HT1212 I just bought a new ipod touch from a friend but she didn't reset it and everytime that I try to rest it, it keeps saying "Ipod is disable, connect to Itunes" but I'am connected to Itunes and it also says put in correct passcode?? how do I reset it

    I just bought a new Ipod ios from a friend and she didn't reset it before she gave it to me and when I try to connect it to my laptop it keeps saying "Ipod is disable, connect to itunes"and it says to put in the correct passcode but I don't know what the passcode is and now I can't get ahold of my friend that sold it to me. So my question is: How do I reset the passcode and the Ipod touch so that I can sync it to my laptop and so that I can enjoy my new Ipod Touch?

    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.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    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.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

  • So I just bought a pink iPod shuffle from a friend.

    She has really good music on it and I don't want to lose it. If I sync it with my Mac would I lose it?

    Hello Mrs. Deirdre,
    Yes if you sync this iPod to your computer it will erase what is on the iPod and put your iTunes library on it. You will see this message that explains it a bit more:

    - Next try restoring on another computer
    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. That way you can demonstrate the problem.

  • My iPod is stuck on the Apple logo and won't do anything! It won't turn on, doesn't give me the option to power it off, and to top it all off, it's not being recognized by my computer OR by iTunes when I plug it into my computer.

    So yeah...last night I was checking out my iPod (bored at the in-laws) and all of a sudden the screen went blank and the only thing I can get it to do is have the black screen w/ the white apple logo on it. It won't turn on, doesn't give the the option to power down, it won't charge, AND it's NOT being recognized when I plug it into my computer. Not by iTunes OR my computer. I've tried holding down the top button and the home button at the same time...nothing. And since it's not being recognized on my computer, I cannot restart it or go back to factory settings. Someone please help! I've had it for 18 months so the warranty is no longer valid and I don't know how to fix it. THANK YOU in advance!

    - I would try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then see if iTunes will see the iPod.  try both with the iPod not connected to the computer and with it connect. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Next see if placing the the iPod in DFU mode will make it visible

  • Just bought 4th Gen.iPod shuffle from Amazon.  My computer (Windows 7) wont recognise device, neither does iTunes.  Have reinstalled iTunes, and nothing seems to work,  Anyone have any ideas.

    Just bough 4th Generation iPod Shuffle from Amazon - comp;uter doesnt recognmise device, neither does iTunes.  I have re-installed iTunes, re-started Computer but nothing seems to work.       I have a 2nd generation iPod shuffle and that is recognised by computer.  Anyone have any suggestions - I am at my wits end.

    There is a USB printer connected to the back port of the PC. The mouse and keyboard are both PS/2.
    I did attempt to reinstall the USB root drivers. After uninstalling iTunes and all the other apple software packages included, I uninstalled everything USB in Device Manager, then rebooted the PC to let Windows reinstall it all.
    Reinstalling the OS -might- fix the issue, but if that were the case, it's most likely just a software conflict that can easily be fixed if I can manage to narrow the specific conflicts down. I've already essentially disabled everything with MSCONFIG except for Apple stuff, so I'm at a loss as to where to go. I've attempted the 5 Rs and all that as well, none of it seems to do the trick. I also cleared the temp folder multiple times (once per each iTunes uninstall / reinstall following the support site directions of uninstalling all the extra apple software) as well as attempted restarts of the Apple services.
    One oddity I would like to point out is that if I attempt to restart the iPod service through services.msc, it will not restart. It throws the error message of "the service failed to respond in a timely fashion" or whatever. I instead have to use the windows Task Manager to manually kill the iPod process in the processes list.
    I just now removed the USB printer and plugged the shuffle into the same port, but I receive the same error message in iTunes about the iPod being corrupted and it needing a restore. If I push restore, the software gets stuck in an endless loop. There are no other USB devices attached to this computer, the motherboard drivers are fully up to date from nVidia's website, and other USB devices clearly function just fine (USB memory sticks, USB printer, etc). If I use the Diagnostics option under Help in iTunes, it will claim there is no iPod connected, and, again, the iPod still does not show up in Windows Explorer under My Computer as an attached device, nor does it show up in Disk Management as a mounted partition.

  • Just got my iPod Shuffle -  How can I get the 240 free songs, as promised?

    I just got my iPod Shuffle and can't figure out for the life of me how I can download the free 240 songs from iTunes.

  • Can i charge ipod shuffle from a cigaret lighter ?

    can i charge my ipod shuffle from a cigaret lighter?

    Apple designed a modular transformer system to both simplify the plug and make travel between countries easy.
    The transformer is the same in the US (110V) as it is in Australia (240V). The plugs are also identical to those included with each countries products.

  • IPod shuffle from VW preloaded with music- how do I save that music??

    HI - I got a free suffle from VW for test driving a GTI. It came with songs pre-loaded. When I plug it in iTunes wants to erase it as it says they are songs from another library. It gives me an erase option or cancel which ejects the iPod so I have no way to "talk" to it without erasing. The paper that came with it says "set the iPod to manual in order not to delete the preloaded songs". How do I do that? Can I save these songs before I load my own tunes on it?? I am not real iTunes literate . I have iTunes 7.1.1 on an iMac G5 running 10.4.9. I also have a Nano that is working fine. THANKS!!!!

  • Ipod gift from a friend, can I still add music.

    I just received an Ipod 30G from a good friend. He added over 6,000 songs over the last couple of years. I want to go to Itunes and add more,however,I am not sure how I will register myself as the new owner,since he already did that 2 years ago. I am also nervous that the songs that are on the pod will disapear when I log on?
    Any ideas?

    You might have to do this on your friends old computer. Then on your computer you can manually add more songs to the iPod but iTunes won't delete what is on there.
