If I erase and sync my ipod touch will it reset my password?

HELP!

What do you mean by erase?  If you mean: Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings and the restore from backup then the resulting iPod will not contain the screen passcode.  It will still include the Restictons passcode if you have one set up.

  • I have a new computer and my ipod is already synced to another computer ad when i try to sync my ipod to my new computer, it asked me to erase and sync my ipod what do i do with my pictures?

    i bought my new computer and i downloaded some new music on my computer and i had an ipod that was already synced to another computer. i just want to know how to get my pictures back when i erase and sync my ipod.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.The iPod will then include photos taken by or saved to the iPod.
    - You can also transfer them to the comouter by:
    Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
    - If you synced photos synced fro the first computer yu will need a program like TouchCopoy or PhoneView to get then from the iPod to the computer.  You have to do that before the restore discussed above.

  • My ipod touch will not reset and I can't restore in iTunes since it won't allow me to access wth a passcode on the ipod.

    My iPod touch will not reset.  I have tried to the sleep/wake and home buttons simultaneously, but after the apple appears it goes back to a screen that shows the spiralling wheel that moves around 5 times, stops for a second and then repeats this cycle over and over.  I tried to restore through iTunes, but I get an error message that says that I need to enter the passcode on the iPod which is impossible since it won't stop the wheel.  Any ideas?

    Place the iPod 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.

  • I was in the middle of the new update and it said there was a error and now my ipod touch will not turn on or off or anything it is just a picture of the apple

    Error 11 is a strange one...if you search the discussions for error 11 you will get a number of hits but none with a real resolution other than getting the iPod to restore, which you have done.  And one person indicates this does not appear in the support data base...already found that out.
    If you have restored, have a backup and can restore from that, you might try the update again, or wait for the next update whenever that comes out. 
    Not a very satisfactory answer but if it is working again...

  • Want to transfer data and sync my iPod touch to a new computer

    I have a new computer running Windows 7 and would like to sync my iPod touch to it now instead of my older computer running Windows XP. How can I transfer all my music, playlists, album art, apps, contacts, and other settings from the old machine to the new one? I connected my iPod to the new computer after I installed iTunes on it and got a message saying this iPod was already synced to another computer. I was able to get all the songs that I have purchased on iTunes, but the bulk of my music collection is from CDs that I own. I really don't want to have to import them into iTunes all over again on the new computer. Surely there is a way to transfer everything from one computer to another. Would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

    Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Transfer non-iTunes purchased music by using one of the third-party programs discussed in ths previus discussion:
    Best iPod to PC
    - Move/copy the iPod backup from the old computer .  It is located here:
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    - One you move the stuff to the new computer, restore the iPod from backup and sync.

  • Once I have moved my iTunes media file to my new mac, will I have to erase and sync my iPod?

    I have successfully managed to move my itunes media file from my windows pc to my new mac and all is well. However, of course it hasnt copied my itunes, its just copied all the stuff in it. So information about the number of times a song has been played or any playlists have not been copied over. Can i get this information? What will happen when I plug in my iPod to sync? Will I have to erase and sync?

    Thank you for your prompt response - I did as you said and did a drag and drop into the iTunes window - it imported and got my album art from the net. When I started Itunes with the shift key down I was prompted to choose a library but since I copied over the media folder and not the library folder I was unable to select that so I guess I will have to create a new library and add in all the music, videos, etc. unless I wait for my laptop and export the library or at least that seems to be the case? In short, all my data (iTunes media folder) is on my external drive and can be added to the blank iTunes screen but I can not choose a library folder. Is there anyway around completely making all those playlists again? I am not sure my laptop will survive the shop with data intact and really hate to start over on those.
    In an unrelated question - I collect old TV shows from the 1950's. Can I make playlists within the home video folder somehow?  In other words like one for Quiz shows, one for comedies, one for police and detective shows, etc. while I am remaking all my playlists for my music if I end up having to go that route?
    Once again thank you for helping me out. I am not too Itunes savvy and really appreciate you taking the time to answer.

  • Charging and Syncing my iPod Touch

    I updated my iTunes to the new 10.0 version and now my iPod Touch wont sync or charge when I plug it into my laptop.  What can I do to get it to sync and charge again?  Ive tried using someone else's usb cord already and that didn't work.

  • Trying to sync new music i got on my mac which is my new computer to my iPhone and erase and sync is saying it will replace the contents of my phone. Does it mean Photos also or just Music and Videos?

    I got a Mac and i downloaded new music on it and im trying to sync the music on this computer to my iPhone which is hooked up to another iTunes and iTunes is saying " An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes Library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library" does this mean that it will also erase my photos or just my music and videos ?? if it does is there another way to sync with out all my contents being deleted??

    You can only sync one iTunes Library from Mac to iPhone.
    And just so are you aware, Apple ID accounts cannot be merged, thus merging content > Frequently asked questions about Apple ID

    The iPod Touch should be similar to an iPad.  See if this article helps:  <How to Sync an iPad With a New Computer - eHow.com>
    Another article appears to go a little further:  <How to Sync an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch with a new computer>.

  • Connecting and syncing new iPod Touch to iTunes v10.1

    I have several downloaded albums from the iTunes Store, along with some ripped cd's, and some downloaded albums that have been imported into iTunes, along with about 100 apps. I did have many of the albums on my previous iPod Nano 8gb, but in preparation for my iPod Touch 32gb 3g, I downloaded many free iPod apps, and bought a few.
    Now, I forget all the things I checked in iTunes, but know it's set now to only sync on command, not automatically. When I connect the new iPod Touch 32gb 3g, I may also need to update the iOS to 4.2 also. First, can I do the iOS update with iTunes set to manual sync? Next, what options need to be set in iTunes to a)let this happen, and b)allow me to either manually or automatically sync my new iPod?
    I realize now that when I do sync the new Touch, with that many apps (over 100) it might take a minute or two.

    Just what version of iTunes do you have? For a 5G iPod/iOS 7 you need iTunes 11.1 or later.. If you have a Mac yo need OSX 10.6.8 or later.
    Does the iTunes still see the 4G iPod?
    If necessary:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

  • I connected an old iPod from a different computer to my iTunes account and now my iTunes account will not let me download anything. My iPod touch will not take my password. How can I fix this?

    I connected an older iPod to my new iTunes account to download my new library to it. Now my new account is not recognizing my password and I can not download anything to my library and iPod touch, can you tell me how to fix this?

    Is your device recognized by your computer? If yes, copy the pictures and videos as shown in this article:
    Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
    If it is not recognized, try this first: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Disable autosync in iTunes, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" to copy apps and other media bought in iTunes to your new library.
    Do the same again and choose "backup", to create a manual backup without syncing.
    Since your device will be erased due to the new iTunes library during the first sync, you can use this backup afterwards to restore your settings and data.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer before you start, to be able to merge calendars and contacts.

  • ITunes won't sync with iPod Touch after factory reset

    I recently bought a used iPod Touch 3rd Generation 32GB and I erased and reset all settings on the iPod. It told me on the iPod to hook it up to iTunes, so when I got home that's what I did but I can't use my iPod on iTunes. The only thing that pops up is upload images which it can't because it is a 3rd Generation iTouch.
    HELP PLEASE

    Start with some basic steps:
    - Restart both your computer and iPod
    - Try another usb cable
    - Try another usb port in the computer
    - Make sure iTunes is up to date
    - Temporarily disable any security software and/or firewalls
    For further troubleshooting steps have a read through the article below based on your computers operating system:

  • I can only access the itunes store from my pc and not my ipod touch.  It says incorrect password, but I know it is correct.  I have changed my password more than 3 times in the past few months to resolve this issue but to no avail.  Someone please help!

    I have had the same account for over 4 years.  I have had my ipod touch for 2 years and have always been able to access the itunes store and download content from my pc and my ipod touch.  A few months ago, I started to receive the message that I've entered the wrong password but I know that it is correct.  I can download all I want from my pc without any problems at all.  How do I get my device to accept my itunes password so that I can get back to downloading content directly to my device?

    I'm having the same issue.  Just hooked up a Mac Mini and running the internet just fine over wifi, but Facetime isn't working.  I'm going to try resetting my router in the morning.
