I need help unlocking and rebooting my iPod touch.

i forgot my iPod touch pass code, and i cannot reboot it with the iTunes account because its connected to my step mothers account, who i do not speak with anymore. how can i reboot my iPod without the iTunes account

Only if:
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.
Yo can also do it with any computer with iTunes and an internet connection
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.

  • My iTunes keeps saying i need to reset and update my iPod touch 4th gen, and ive done it atleast 10 times, and everytime when its done resetting itself, it says it again... help!

    i dont know why but everytime i plug in my ipod touch it needs to reset, i cant even use it now. any suggestions?

    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

  • I need help!!! My iPod touch is messed up I charge it but then when I go to turn it on it shows the apple then a loading circle then the screen turns white and says it isn't charged is there anyway I myself could fix it?

    Plz help

    Try:
    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I need help to locate my stolen ipod touch

    I need help located my stolen iPod touch

    - 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. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

    - Try another cable.
    - Try another USB port
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Try on another computer. Just backup a couple of times. Do not sync.

  • Need help updating a 3rd Gen iPod Touch....

    I have a 3rd Gen iPod Touch running iOS4.1. I have an iMac G5 running OSX10.4.11. The iTunes version is 9.2.1. When I connect my iPod to my iMac and click 'Update' in iTunes it simply states 'You have the latest version of iTunes 9.2.1'. How can I update my iPod?
    Thanks in advance.

    You need to update the OSX on your computer. Going higher that 4.1 requires iTunes 10 or higher. iTunes 10 requires OSX 10.5.8 or higher.

  • I need help with a question about iPod Touch 5

    I have a iPod touch, and I need to know, if I have the google app(or any app) open, and I hit the lock button, will it close the app?

    yes, unless the app is intended to run in the background, like a music app maybe.  For those, you can turn them off from the app itself

    Did you look at this previous discussion that I provided in my first reply?
    ios 6 and macosx 10.5 on a pre intel...: Apple Support Communities
    It say how to use a iTunes version 10.6.3 with OSX 10.5.8 and sync with iOS 5.
    OSX 10.6.8 is a paid upgrade for $29 but requires an Intel Mac. That last OSX for a Power PC G4 or G5 is 10.5.8.

  • I need help on my possibly broken iPod touch 16GB (3rd Gen)

    I've had this touch for more than 2 years (so warranty expired). One night I was charging my touch when I was sleeping. Unfortunately the window was open and it started raining. My touch didn't get soaked that much but noticed that the speakers weren't working because it was sensing that earphones were plugged into it (which none were). I dried my touch off as much as I could with a towel. Then I plugged some earphones into it afterwards and the sound worked fine. Unplugged the earphones and it still said it was sensing it, disabling the speakers. Randomly, when I pressed the home button as I was exiting the Music app the touch screen stopped working. I pressed the power and home button at the same time until the "slide to power off" red bar came up. I couldn't slide the red bar because the touch screen stopped working. I then proceeded to turning off my touch completely. Starting it up again holding the power and home button after a while. I got the apple logo, but faintly (as if the brightness level was at the lowest setting) and it didn't go to the home screen. It just was stuck at the apple logo. I pressed the power and home button again to turn it off and on and still got only the faint apple logo. I googled this problem and a solution I found was to plug it into my computer and press the power and home button. Now it won't show the apple logo at all when I hold down the power and home button. Now... well I'm typing this horrid situation to you guys... D:

    I would try to turn off the iPod and dry it as suggested in he following:
    http://www.ehow.com/how5356376fix-wet-ipod-iphone.html
    The charge it and maybe restore it. BTW, Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods so I doubt you have a 3G. See the following for identifying your iPod:

  • HT5919 they say Open the App Store (with iOS 4.3.3 or later), but i need for 6.1.6, about install facebook and skype  in ipod touch 4

    need help to instal in a ipod touch 4 facebook, facebook messenger and skype
    i read this article App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    but is not for 6.1.6.

    That page applies to iOS 6. Download the current versions of those apps on your computer's iTunes so that they are in your account's purchase history, then go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPod and see if you can download a previous compatible version of them - you won't be able to download them if the developers of those apps don't support previous versions.

  • Help setting up my new IPod Touch on iTunes on windows 7 64bit

    Hello there,
    I need help setting up my new IPod Touch to my Itunes 10 application on a PC running windows 7 64bit. I have watched the tutorial on how to do it but what the tutorial says it is supposed to do is not what is happenning for me:
    1. In the tutorial it tells you to connect your ipod to your computer, then, (if it is for the first time) when the ipod appears and is selected, a window will come up allowing you to name your ipod, and begin selecting the options you wish to use.
    I did as instructed but quickly came against some technical issues.
    My issues:
    1-1: When I selected the new iPod Touch for the dirst time I got an error message.
    A) This was quickly fixed once I calld up apple support on the phone (turns out an IE browser setting was blocking it.)
    1-2: With that fixed I selected my iPod Touch again but instead of the window indicated by the tutorial, I instead got an iPod registration form window.
    1-3: I filled out the form and pressed the submit button (thinking everything was fine), then a new window came up that looks like this:
    Free Find My iPhone
    Free Find My iPad
    Free Find My iPod touch
    Set up Find My iPhone for free so you can locate your device if you lose it, remotely lock the screen, or wipe its data.

    The first three lines and the first paragraph are indented as if there should be some type of graphic there, but it is missing. The underlined words indicate that they are supposed to be links, but they don't go anywhere, they are broken!
    Now wheenever I connect my iPod Touch and select it the above window comes up and nomatter what I try it will not move or change.
    Please help!
