IPod 30GB - Enter Code To Unlock

A week ago i plugged my iPod into my computer and it didnt get recognised. So I unplugged it and it got froze on the "Do Not Disconnect" screen. I tryed restarting it. But it was just froze on this screen. I came to it today to see if it had unfroze. Well now its asking me for a code to unlock it. I havent set a code or anything. Is there a way to get my iPod back to normal?

Connect iPod to the computer you normally use it with (the first one that the iPod synced with) and open iTunes. Then disconnect the iPod from the computer and it should no longer be locked.
You can also restore the iPod.

  • My iPod Classic is suddenly asking me to "Enter Code to Unlock".  Is there a default?

    I have been letting my 8 year old son use my old iPod.  It's the the old classic video iPod, 30GB, software version is 1.3 and says it's up to date.  Serial number is 4V544C1WTXK (I don't know if that matters or not).  He has been listening to music and playing games on it for months now without a problem.  And it has never asked for a code to unlock it.  I have never set one.  He may have by accident but does not know a code either.
    Is there a default code to unlock it?  If not is there a way to reset the code?  I can't use the iPod at all now.  I just replaced the battery in it so I really need to get it working.
    Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

    Okay so I just did a factory restore.  It seems to be working fine now although I lost everything stored on it.

  • Ipad mini unable to enter code to unlock

    When I turn on my ipad mini I am unable to enter a code to unlock the ipad mini and it shows searching at top left of screen,  is it possible I have a virus and how do I get rid of it? Thanks

    You don't have a virus since there aren't any.
    Have you tried resetting your iPad?
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • Enter code for unlocking sim card

    i saw this option in the menu of the SETTINGS of my n900 since i update its firmware. i enter the pin code of my my sim but it says wrong code.i also tried the lock code but its wrong also. i am just worried coz i will travel to other country next week,and would not be able to use another sim card for my n900. i didnt tried to put the new sim card yet because it will automatically overwrite my prepaid internet settings.
    i just want to know if i can still use other sim card without asking for a code. is my phone locked now since i update the firmware?
     thanks!

    I'm not 100% sure but I think it's for any future simlocked handsets where you'd enter the unlock code from your network.
    Also I wouldn't worry about your internet settings when switching simcards because when you switch back, your handset should reset all of your internet setting back to normal again

  • Screen frozen on "enter  codecode to unlock

    The screen is frozen whenever i turn it on. I have tried resetting along with a number of other options. Nothing works. The screen has a combination lock and it says "Enter code to unlock". Can anyone help

    Normally you could plug the iPod in and when you unplugged it the combo lock would be gone. But I believe that works because iTunes IDs the iPod as the one synced to its library and unlocks it for you. Since you started with a new library this may not work. Did you try plugging it in yet to see what happens?

  • My ipod touch is stuck wontlet me enter my code to unlock it

    hellow 1st time on have question   my kids played with my ipod touch 1st gen how do i re enter my code to unlock it
    thank you 4 your help

    Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore the iPod via itunes.  If iTunes asks for the passcod and yu can't enter the passcode, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • Enter Code on ipod???

    unfortunantly, a young child got a hold of my ipod nano and by the time i took it off him, i had a vault like dial on the screen, asking me to enter a four digit code.
    All that comes up on the screen now is the enter code message and dial, but if i dont know the code, how do i solve this problem???
    PLEASE HELP

    Try this, connect the iPod to the main computer you use it with (if you use it with more than one, this is the first one it was connected to) and open iTunes. Then disconnect iPod from the computer, it should be unlocked: iPod: How to use the Screen Lock
    If you can't get it unlocked you'll need to restore it. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings with iTunes 7

  • Enter your system lock pin code to unlock this mac

    I just traded my Macbook Pro for a 27" Core i5 iMac. I wiped the iMac when I traded and I brought it home to do a full reinstall. I booted holding the Option key down and noticed this iMac had a recovery partition I opted to use the recovery partition to reinstall. To my surprise it was Lion. And the cd was snow leapord.  I was cool with that and signed in and used the computer all day. Then sometime while I was sleeping a obnixious alarm went off on the iMac and there was a box to enter your system lock pin code to unlock this mac.
    Priding myself on doing all repairs on my own since my primary job is reinstalled and virus removal. Long story short I could not access anything no matter what I tried. I ended up calling apple care and asking what needed to be done they explained I needed to bring it to a apple authorized store and they would have to unlock the firmware.
    Do you guys know what they are talking about or is there anything I can do before driving 100 miles to my nearest apple store. I find this rediculous.

    I did indeed did wipe the system clean at the owners house, I went home with what I thought was totally clean hard drive, there was a recovery partition I did not see until I got home. This recovery partition was indeed tied to the original owner which I did not know at the time. I assumed it was like any old windows recovery and it was clean and made reinstalls a dream. Well long story short I had the snow leapord cd in the drive and ready to go until I seen this recovery partition and I opted to use  the **** recovery and I reinstalled registered and signed into everything and used the computer all day 12 hours probably. By the way the recovery partition that was tied to this guy was lion.  
    So then I left the computer on and went to sleep. Late last night an alarm went off and that is when I saw the enter the pin to unlock this mac. I have tried holding the C when I boot up, I have tried holding the Option key when booting up. I have tried resetting the pram. Nothing can be done. I can get to another lock screen by phsically unplugging the power cord then booting up holding the option key. That will bring me to a screen with nothing but a lock and a line that I can type some kind of admin password. Nothing I have with work. I tried, root, admin, administrator, my password I used when I set lion up. Nothing!!!!!.
    At this point this machine is more or less 100% useless, the only option I can see is to bring it to a authorized apple retailer and have them fix it. I did bring it to a local apple store. And they said they could probably fix it, but I would have to pay them between 50-100 dollars. The repair guy said something about getting the info from the ram. I just laughed and left.
    Anyway this is like a BIOS lock, you cannot get to terminal, cd, to any boot options, you cannot reset anything at all. It's a full lock.

    i have a problem with my Macbook Pro. When i tried to open it, something appeared : "enter your system lock PIN code to unlock this Mac". What should i do?

    Question is did you lock your Mac from Find my iPhone using iCloud or is the Macbook really yours?
    If you have in fact locked your Mac using Find my iPhone on iCloud then you will need to enter the PIN you have set when you locked the Mac.
    *If you have not iniate the remote Lock then someone else has used your Apple ID and Password to lock your mac.

  • When I charge my ipod, the apple symbol comes up as if it was turning on, then it goes black and repeats the process. Sometimes it gets to where I have to put in my 4 digit code to unlock it then goes black, any suggestions on why it does this?

    Does it work OK otherwise?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another cable and USB port and/or charging source
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
