I locked myself out of my ipod touch 5.

i had downloaded find my iphone on it and have erased the ipod on my apple computer, but the ipod itself isn't connected to the internet, and the wifi both in my home and around my town are not working on my ipod (5) even though they are working on my other devices and I have connected to the wifi outlets before on it. Ive tried calling apple but the automated voice thing wont understand my question. I cant log in and connect it in settings for obvious reasons ._. if any of you know how I can connect my ipod to the internet without having to log into it that would be awesome. Thx!!

Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store   
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
OR
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 and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.

  • I locked myself out of my ipod touch for 60 mins then actually typed the wrong password in again.  Now it is telling me to "connect to itunes".  I am unsure how to do this.  I am unable to use my ipod at all now. Please help.

    Hi,
    Due to my brother locking me out of my ipod touch I had to wait an hour to log in again.  Unfortunately when I did this, I, again put in the wrong password twice more, each time locking me out for a further 60 minutes.  On my 3rd attempt to log in the wrong password was entered again.  This time though instead of logging me out for another 60mins it now tells me to "connect to itunes" but I have no idea how to do this and I am now unable to use my ipod.  Please help.

  • I accidently locked myself out of my Ipod, it said connect to ITunes so I did but nothing is happening and I don't know what to do! HELP!!!!!

    Happened over Christmas holidays, I thought my sister knew my passcode(which she didn't) but then I never had chance to practice it and I forgot it!! HELP PLEASE!!!!!

    You need to connct the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes on th comp;uter.  If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode  or if yu do not have the syncing computer, place the iPOd in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    For how to restore see:

  • HT201365 I locked myself out of my ipod and i have no way of backing it up and restoring it so what should i do?

    I have no idea what to do now, ive had this for a little over a month and already am locked out. Please help!!

    Do you mean you forgot your passcode?
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

  • I locked myself out of ipod touch 5 and it says connect to itunes but itunes will not reset my device, how can i reset it?

    I locked myself out of my ipod touch 5th generation. I forgot the password so i tried everything i could think of until it said connect to itunes. When i put my ipod in recovery mode, i plugged my ipod into my computer with itunes. I click the restore button and it said extracting. When it finished doing that it started to restore/reset and stopped half way and returned to the restore screen. And anything i do it doesn't work. I even updated itunes.

    Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • So i locked myself out the ipod and i followed the steps to restore. it was restoring,,in the last eight minutes my ipod went back on and it said ipod disabled..but there was still restoring and then it said the connectioned timed out i need help

    i locked myself out of my ipod and i tryed unlocking it and then the "ipod is disabled" remark shoowed up. I knew what to do to restores it but in the last one minute of restoring a message popped up and said something about it cant finish it and the connectioned timed out. I tried this at my buddies house and it did the same. Ieven my freind (whos very good in electronics and computers) couldnt do it, i need help is there anyway possible?

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.

  • I need help turning on my apple Ipod device i locked myself out

    I need help turning on my apple Ipod device. i have locked myself out.

    If problem try the items of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - 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.
