I'm trying to restore my Ipod touch from a backup however I don't remember the password, how do I find out what the password is?
My ipod was sent into reset mode when it was pluged into my bf's computer. I pluged it into my computer where itunes is and itunes said I had to reset it, so I did and now I'm trying to restore it from a back up in itunes. Which I didn't know exsisted and didn't set up but it's locked with a password and I have no idea what the password is. Is there a way for me to find out?
- If the backup has a password (called encrypted backup) then you either have to remember password or correctly guess the passcode or set up the iPod as new.
- A fw other users have reported the same problem. Tyr using other passwords like your Apple ID PW:

I'm trying to sync my 5th gen iPod and I keep getting a message that there are items on my iPod that are not in my iTunes and they'll be deleted if I don't transfer them. How do I find out what these items are so I know if I want them or not? Also, I seem to have a fair amount of duplicates, one marked with the cloudn symbol and one not. Which one do I delete??
Go to your "Purchased" list. See:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
and look for items not on this computer. -
I have been trying to restore my ipod touch for several weeks. The ipod is on the usb-itunes screen but the computer will not recognize it. I have tried three different laptops and am now very frustrated. I have also tried several different usb connectors.
Try putting the iPod in DFU Mode vs. Recovery Mode.

I tried to restore my ipod touch 2nd generation and now it won't sync to itunes. On the screen is the USB end of the cord and the iTunes logo over it.
I have turned it off and on, held the off button down and the select button down but it still comes up with that picture on the screen. Have I broken it?
Please help.
MimiIt means the device is in recovery mode. You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.

Ok i recently tried to restore my ipod touch but when i plug it in it says your ipod needs to be restored. but when i try to restore it downloads the software and while its downloading it pops up a message saying your ipod needs to be restored. when the download is finished it doesnt restore or do anything and it stays stuck on the plug your ipod into itunes screen somebody please help me.
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

HT1212 I'm trying to restore an iPod touch.
I'm trying to restore an iPod touch that has been locked out and iTunes says "The iPod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later."
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -
am trying to restore my Ipod touch 5 generation but I am receiving an error message that says your Ipod can not be restored you need your password I don't know my password so I don't know what to do. I have started the procedures 3 times but no luck till now
If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
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.
Otherwise follow varjak paw recommendation -

TS3694 I am trying to restore my ipod touch 4g, but I keep getting errors
I am trying to restore my iPod Touch 4G, and first I got error 3194, or 1394 (something like that) but now I got 2003, and I cant figure out what that means!
Error 21 also says:
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 37
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Note the " If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service."
I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

When I try to restore my iPod touch 4G I get error 3194 and I have the latest version of iTunes
When I try to restore my iPod touch 4G I get error 3194 and I have the latest version of iTunes
Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.
Are you trying to restore to a PC or an Mac? Either way, I'd remove iTunes, empty the trash, restart, and download/install the latest version. Also, check the versions of OS that the latest build of iTunes will work with. -
