Ipod 5.... i tried to restore it and it says go to settings but i cant
When I click restore it just says please go to settings and turn something off but I obviously can't or I wouldn't need to restore it
What is the exact wording of the message? With is the "something"? If it FindMyiPhone 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.

im trying to download podcast and it says preparing to download but nothing happens, since i upgraded to the io6
Stacey Lou,
All I can say is I am having the same problem on my 4th Gen iPod Touch, but not my 3rd gen iPad. Occasionally, the podcast app will work, other times, all the downloads get stuck on "Preparing to Download". No obvious solution has presented itself.
Illaass, none of the previous discussions I see in "more Like This" seem to cover this topic specifically.
Idle speculation: Based on the behavior I have noticed elsewhere in iOS 6, I am convinced what is happening is if you start the podcast download someplace with a crappy connection, all subsequent attempts to download the same file will hang. I have seen this in app updates that stalled due a bad connection. All subsequent attempts to update the app also stall, regardless of the quality of the internet connection. I have to DELETE the app and reinstall it to get it to work. Maybe something similar is going on here with the Podcasts app. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to 'delete' the podcast and then re-download it. -
I tried to restore my Iphone 5 back to factory settings but I'm only getting the ring now
I tried to restore my Iphone 5 back to factory settings but I'm only getting the blinking ring now, it's been a few hours.
Do a hard reset with a computer. Enter DFU mode, connect to iTunes, and it will say that our device is in "recovery mode". Then click restore.
How to enter DFU mode:

I'm a MB Pro beginner (after 25 years with PC). I have an Iomega ext HD, but how do get it indexed?, and it doesn't come up with any results I'm trying searches in Finder, and it says "searching Iomega drive" - but I don't think it's indexing. How do I force it to index?
Well I'm leaning the other way. I think my present MBP will be the last Apple product I buy.
With the way Apple is going, all New Mac computers are sealed unit that don't allow the user to upgrade them in any way. They are getting more expensive initially. They are impossible to fix, even by Apple. All the parts are either soldered to the Logic Board or glued inside the case parts. The add on warranty only covers manufacturing defects and is expensive. And to fix one out of waranty is close to if not more then a new system.
The only thing different in a Mac, and most other products Apple sells, is the operating system and the cases they come in. As for the OS both have their glitches and at this time there are no viruses that infect OS X. There is more software available for Windows. More choices as to what hardware you can use or upgrade to at a later date.
Mac computers are becoming large iPads or iPhones with built in keyboards.

Those error messages are indicative of the Device being Hacked / jailbroken.... If this is the case then you are on your own.

i am using the latest version of itunes. and running ios7 on my iphone 5s.
Thank you for the helpIf iTunes is reporting the backup is corrupt, there isn't anything you can do about that, except to delete that backup and try to create a new one before you attempt your restore. If that is not possible, then you will have to set the phone up as new and re-sync your data.

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I tried to restore, update and back up my ipod touch. once it said it was successful i clicked on the label of my ipod in itunes and it had written, "we're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." now whenever i click on the label it just says that and on my ipod it tells me to plug into itunes when it already is. i didnt update restore or back it up with the latest version, so i downloaded the latest version, how do i start the process again so my ipod works!! help this is gay !!
Hmm, well... iTunes trys to activate your iPod using the Apple server to make sure you have bought it legit.
Two things come into my mind:
1) Your iTunes can't access the internet.
2) Apples activation servers are down.
That's just my cents, maybe anyone else has an idea. -
I can't open my iPod Touch - tried the restore message and then error mewssage 3014 - iOS problems???
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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My nano will no longer sync to itunes. I tried to restore it and error message 1437 said it could not be restored. Any thoughts on how I can sync or restore?
Good day billoelwein,
If you are having an issue with your iPod nano being unable to restore, you may want to first try resetting the iPod. See the directions in this article -
Reset your iPod - Apple Support
If the issue is still present after a reset, you may need to restore your iPod nano back to factory settings. See this article -
Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
