    How do i get my ipod touch out of recovery mode......keep getting error message saying ipod could not be restored an unknown error occurred.
    Been trying all night to sort out but just going around in circles

    I have not seen a solution for that error but try:
    - Place the iPod in DFU mode and then restore
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

    What happened when you placed in recovery mode and tried to restore?

  • HT1222 how can I access my Ipod touch forgot the passcode

    I forgt my passcode how can I reset to access the ipod touch?

    your only shot is using this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    NB: this will erase everything, so I hope you've got a backup that doesn't contain a passcode.
    After restoring, you can download your apps again using this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    Good luck

  • TS1363 My daughter has locked her Ipod touch with a password, how do I fix this?

    My daughter has locked her I pod touch with a password, how do I fix this?

    You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it.  If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • HT201328 Forgot my passcode, how do I unlock it?

    Im a dingus
    I forgot my passcode
    I've been locked out of it for a millenium
    How do I get into it?

    If you have synced with iTunes while the passcode was on it, back it up and restore it on the last computer it was synced with.  If you haven't synced since setting the passcode, you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808), then restore it to an existing backup, if you have one.  (If you don't have one you'll have to set it up as a new iPhone and start over.)

  • My ipad is locked up because i forgot my password how fo i unlock it ?

    How can i get into my ipad and take off the password if its locked up and i dont know the password ?

    You will need to try to restore your iDevice from the same computer that you most recently synced to.
    Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If you can't do the restore then you will need to try Recovery Mode.
    Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    Follow the instructions very carefully.

  • My Ipod touch 3g won't update to ios 5, i get error code 3194, and i checked what that meant. It said i needed to update Itunes, and when i tried, it was already updated. My Ipod is running 4.3.5 HELP!

    Please Help!

    iTunes only allows you to update to the latest iOS which is 5.0.1.
    Disabling the computer's security software (firewall and antivirus) during the download and update usually resolves the problem.

  • Ipod touch stuck in recovery mode and will not restore. error code 3194

    ipod touch stuck in recovery mode, will not restore and comes up with error code 3194, itunes is up to date, please help

    Hi @rchangel - Thanks for the ideas...
    Yes - it won't let you install the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine.
    I've had a cursory look at the SP1 release notes, and couldn't spot anything vital - what critical stuff do you know of in SP1?
    I don't want to have to go through all the pain of setting up VM's, reinstalling iTunes, getting all my album art back in etc. (though I could, as I do have Win7 pro). I've also heard that running iTunes in Windows 7 compatibility mode might help. Can anyone confirm whether that actually works?
    I think it's in Apple's gift to fix this issue, given that they say that they support Windows 7. So far I've had no feedback from a mail I sent to Apple, and the number of users reporting this problem keeps going up and up.
    I want Apple to recognise that there is a problem, and then I want them to fix it.
