I NEED HELP I can't sync, restore, unlock or use my iPod touch
I found my 4th gen iPod touch recently, I don't remember it's password, and it's not connected to my wifi so It wont let me restore it. I want to be able to use it, but my hands are tied. Can anyone help please?
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.

I can't sync a TV show to my ipod touch
I can't sync a tv show to my ipod touch. I checked all the settings, and tried to manually drag the show to my ipod but still nothing. A message box keeps popping up saying," "Magic Bullet" was not copied to the ipod "Bee's" because it cannot by played on this iPod." Any help is appreciated.
This is what it says. You don't have to convert it.
All HD purchases from the iTunes Store also include an iPod/iPhone-compatible Standard Definition version to accompany the HD version. When syncing an HD purchase from the iTunes Store, iTunes will automatically sync the SD video for devices that require SD content.
If this doesn't work, I don't know what the problem is. You could try deleting from iTunes and re-downloading the item from the store. (in iTunes: STORE > Purchased > Download Previous Purchases.) -
my ipod touch wont restore - I plugged it into friends computer to charge and now it is stuck. How can I successfully restore and start using my I touch again (4th gen). TKS.
You have to put the iPod touch into the recovery mode.

Can I sync app data from iPad to iPod touch?
I have a 3G iPad, to which I have downloaded a translation app called Jibbigo.
I'm going on a missions trip next month, and there will be no internet there, so I need to be able to use the app in offine mode.
This app can be used offline by downloading translators.
I have an English/Spanish translator downloaded on my iPad, and all works fine.
I also have a 4G iPod touch.
I downloaded the Jibbigo app (and it works fine online), but have not been able to download the English/Spanish app onto it (in order to be able to use it offline)
I can find no support from the company.
Would there be any way to be able to sync the data (offline Span/Eng translator) from my iPad?
I can't do a whole restore from backup, since the iPod touch is only 8 GB, where the iPad is 32 GB.
Ideas?- See if this works:

- If the is an iPad 1 then you should be able to restore the iPod for the iTunes backup of the iPad 1 provided that you delete/remove from the iTunes library all media that was on the iPod like app, music and videos except the one app.
- You can't restore the 4G iPof fro a backup made on onother device if the other device has a higher iOS version.
- What hapens when you try to download the app on thie iPod? ( English/Spanish app)?
Is the app compatible with iOS 6? Maany now require iOS 7 but yo may be able to download the last compatible version by:
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists. -
I'm trying to determine whether or not I can import audio books from my iPod to my computer using only my computer. I purchased said audio books through the same iTunes account on my iPod that I have on my computer. I can't sync manually from my iPod because I haven't been able to locate it in weeks!! Is it possible to use only my laptop?
The music sync is one way only - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one. -

I've purchased items from the iTunes store, but have been able to transfer them to my iPod Touch. Whenever I try I get a message that says that 2 of my items could not sync. How do I get these items onto my iPod Touch?
That's because those items were purchased with other accounts.

Why can't I lookup phone numbers using my iPod Touch?
When I google "Pizza Hut" on my iPod Touch (using Safari), it finds the nearest Pizza Hut to my house, but instead of displaying Pizza Hut's phone number, it display an icon that says "Call". When I press on that icon, nothing happens. Can I get my iPod Touch to show me the phone number instead of prompting me to make a call? I don't have the ability to make calls on my iPod Touch.

Help! Can't sync due to itunes says my ipod is already synced with another
I deleted and reinstalled i-tunes. Now, when I try to sync, it says my i-pod is synced with another computer. How do I get it to recognize this as the only computer that it is synced with?

Assuming that everything on the iPod is still in your iTunes library, just go ahead and let it re-sync the iPod and now it will be associated with the new library.
Is there anything on the iPod that you do not have safely stored on your computer?

my iPod touch needs to be restored. however, all of my movies/apps/songs/photos are not backed up on my computer because the shop on my computer does not work. can i still get the memory on my iPod touch 32gb back?
If you weren't able to sync the purchases to a computer previously and now your iPod needs to be restored so you can't sync it now, then you may be out of luck and will need to purchase your content again. Officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications and iBooks. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
You can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the "Music Purchases" or "Video Purchases" category, as appropriate, then "Lost or Missing Items". You'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) ") and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it.
Good luck. -
My cellular network is not working on my iphone 5 after updating to ios 8.1.2 !! It was working fine on ios 8.1.1
my phone was not jillbreak or hacked to unlock. i need help, what can I do?Did you do the Reset Network Settings as I described above?
There is no way to go back. You can try reseating your nanoSIM or replacing it. Or call your cell provider and have them check the provisioning on your phone.
Or Restore your iPhone from your backup in iTunes. -

Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..
So I have found a common denominator to this phenomenon. After having the same problem, I started to recopy my playlist of 500+ songs in groups of 10-20, 30+, 75+, and then over a 100+. Any music I have purchased from iTunes won't copy, but everything else did. Unsure if I made a playlist called "Purchased" at some point or this is an iTunes default, I also noticed it had some of the songs contained in my other playlist and was showing on my iPhone. Regardless of what I did such as dragging music from that playlist to the other and clearing songs from that playlist, I removed it altogether from the iPhone itself vs. doing through iTunes. After that, music copied fine to my playlist.
So, my theory is that iTunes is getting tripped up on purchased tracks already showing on the phone and all songs are showing grayed out/dotted circle because iTunes can't resolve the conflict with purchased tracks.
Hope this makes sense and is helpful. -
