hello im having trouble with my Itouch, when i turn it on it says "Ipod is disabled, please connect to Itunes", but when i do connect it to Itunes it says it can't read it because the Ipod is locked with a passcode, but i cant unlock because its frozen

Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.

  • When I go into any app that requires me to use the key board I instantly go back to the home page and can't access anything (not even settings)

    When ever I go into an application that requires me to use the key board the app just closes down and takes me back to the home page.  I can't even get into settings.  Also if I bring up the key pad it just sticks after I press a couple of keys?  Help?  I can't get into fb/pages anything!

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...

  • Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. Any suggestions please?

    Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. I DO NOT have any back ups on itunes. Is there anyway to get out of recovery mode without restoring or recover data after a restore?
    Or any other suggestions please? Thanks

    As pdroth said, you should have gotten a backup made when you started the update of iOS. If you cannot find a backup, and the phone is in recovery mode, there are no futher suggestions to make. To get the phone working again you have to restore. You cannot force a backup at this time since it is already in recovery mode. It will not allow anything else but a restore at this point.

  • Ipod Nano frozen, and appears to be crashing my computer when I plug it in

    After owning my ipod nano for a whopping two hours, and playing a total of two songs on it, the nano froze. I attempted to select music based on album, hit play, and it froze on that position. It doesnt dim or power down after awhile or anything.
    I hooked it up to my machine and tried to start itunes, and it would not start. Later, I started itunes by itself after rebooting the machine. Plugging it in after the fact causes no change on the screen (still frozen) and itunes never acknolwedges that an ipod has been plugged in.
    I read the instructions, and know that supposedly, according to the instructions, holding down the mouse wheel for five to ten seconds, or flicking the hold switch will reset the ipod.
    Unfortunately it doesnt.
    I'm really, really regretting this purchase. Anybody know what I should do?

    To clarify it only crashed my computer once, but did seem to actually prevent itunes from starting.

  • My Ipad seems to be locked, it says it has not made an updtae with Icloud in two weeks, an needs to be charged, have wifi and be locked. I have arranges all this but it is still "locked" and i can´t do anything, not even turn it off..

    My Ipad is locked and I can´t do anything it says it must sync with Icloud but does not seems to do this know even if It is connected to wifi, charged and is locked. I can´t do anything right now...

    In order to backup to iCloud the iPad must be plugged into a power source, connected to WiFi and locked - meaning that it must be asleep - or with the lock screen only visible. This is for automatic backups.
    If the iPad is not responding at all to any user input, try restarting it or resetting it and see if you can take the steps necessary to back up. You can initiate the backup manually as well.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.

  • The notes in my iPod shuts down whenever I open it and scroll down, I've tried restarting the iPod both ways but it didn't work, not even when I synced it , anyone can help?

    I've true everything but nothing is working, when I scroll the notes down, it just closes and then I'm back at the homescreen , can anyone help me solve this problem? I've even restarted all settings and this still happenes to me =|

    You can't connect an iPhone or iPad to a Mac via Bluetooth, except for Internet tethering.
    You're not doing anything wrong - it just isn't a feature of iOS devices.
    What were you hoping a Bluetooth connection would allow you to do?

  • My imac mail keeps going off line and can't send out emails even when it when it comes back on line for a short while

    Need help in getting rid of this annoying pop up problem. All my Inbox keeps going off line. Comes back very intermitently.

    That can't be it if it is working intermitently.
    Actually, more often than not, this is caused by duplicate entries in either Mail's Outgoing SMTP servers, or in Keychain.
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it/them, or delete it/them and start over.
    Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
    If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

  • Uploaded 1.2, now Ipod is frozen and touchpad won't work...

    OK! So, my ipod was working fine this morning, perfectly! Now, after i donwloaded the new 1.2, it seems to have frozen, or something. I tried to reset it, and it resets fine, then brings me back to the start up menu but the touchpad doesn't work. I can't scroll, i can't select. I tried to restore it, and I have the same problem. When i connect it to Itunes, the computer recongnizes it, but then it freezes on the do not disconnnect sign. I don't know what is wrong, and I am getting kinda ****** off. Please if anyone can tell me what is wrong I would really appreciate it. I just can't believe that the touchpad would just break like that. Any advice?

    I just attempted this step to fix my "iPod on Ice" problem and it actually worked like a charm. I have pasted the procedure below...maybe it'll help others!
    *To reset an iPod with a Click Wheel, including:
    Fifth Generation iPod (also known as iPod with video)
    iPod nano
    iPod with color display (iPod photo)
    iPod (Click Wheel)
    iPod mini
    iPod mini (Second Generation)
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
    Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
    If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.

  • Uploading newer ios on Ipad 2 - things were going well then got a picture of the apple logo and a line moving from start to end - stopped short of end and can't do anything now - HELP

    Uploading newer ios on Ipad 2 - things were going well then got a picture of the apple logo and a line moving from start to end - stopped short of end and can't do anything now - HELP

    Try a soft-reset and see if that gets it to boot up properly : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should reappear and it will hopefully boot up.
    If it doesn't then try recovery mode and restore/resync your content : If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • I got a flashing folder with a question mark. I got a new hard drive and upgraded to 4 gigs and can't open anything or reload the operating system? Help?

    I got a flashing folder with a question mark. I got a new hard drive and upgraded to 4 gigs and can't open anything or reload the operating system? Help? FYI: I have been using boot camp with windows 7 and started getting a kernal_data_Page_error and it would reboot windows, i was trying to do a chkdsk on the next reboot, but thats when i started getting this issue. I have put in a new hard drive and went from 2 gigs to 4. I can not get the computer to do anything, even the monitor does not show anything now????

    Prep your new drive:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs,) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X.
