IPod lock and unplayable songs help

Hi all. I want to reset my iPod but my passcode has become forgotten. I have tried 14 times to remember it to no avail. The reason I want to reset my iPod is that my brother downloaded a lot of useless and unplayable songs into my iPod and they won't play or delete :) Can anybody help or give some advice it's really getting on my nerves! :/

Either redownload them directly to the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
or sync them to your iPod via iTunes

If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Next:
Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

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 iPod backup that iTunes makes.

Connect the iPod to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and then on the right-hand side you can use the Music tab to select which of your music that you want on the iPod.

You just need to reset the ipod by holding down the sleep button and home button for ipod touch or the menu and centre button on others for about 10 seconds

Ipod Locked, Resoring doesn't help

My Ipod is locked. Restoring the IPOD did not help and neither did hooking it up to the host computer. I can see the lock in the top left corner of the screen on the ipod itself, but when I detatch it from the computer it goes blank.Furthermore, I can't find anywhere on Itunes to unlock it and if I could find out how to unlock it I don't remember ever setting a password, much less what the password is. PLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE help!!!!!!!!!!!

omg mines is doing the same thing. today i put it on hold and then i took it off. it was working and then the lock started blinking on the upper left hand of my ipod and then it locked and wont come off! ive had this ipod for 2 years since i was 13 and it has never done that! im so frustrated and im ready to cry.ive tried everything from restoring it to reseting it and still NOTHING! SOMEBODY HELP UP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ipod locked and unable to unlock

i have been having some problems w/ my ipods hard drive. i think i was able to fix the problem but a new one arrived. my ipod is locked and i am unable to unlock it. everything else appears fine but i just can't unlock it. i plugged it into my computer and it synced w/ itunes just fine. so i tried to reset it and toggle the hold button. i tried to reset it w/ the select and menu button. i tried to restore it but that didnt' work either. i was just wondering if there was a way to unlock it through itunes or if there is anything else that i might be able to do to unlock it.
thanks

Hi. From what I've learned, you have to restore it, which will erase the hard drive so you better have everything backed up if you want it back. I'm still doing that...have yet to attempt the magical "restore"...if that even works. Did you know that if your warranty is expired, they can charge you $30 bucks to help you...over the phone! Stupid update! Good luck.

Replacement ipod skipping and pausing songs

Hi,
I paid to have my replaced in january as I had smashed the screen and it was out of warranty but now the replacement continually skips and pauses songs and activates voice control while it is locked. According to apple this new ipod is not under warranty so i would have to pay to get it sent in for repair. I'm currently living in Austria where Apple stores aren't easily accessible so I can't just take it in...Any ideas?
Thanks!

Does Apple provide a warranty on my replacement iPod?
If Apple provides service under warranty, the terms of the warranty and applicable provisions of law will cover defects in materials and workmanship that arise during the remaining warranty or 90 days after iPod service, whichever provides longer coverage for you. If iPod service is provided outside of warranty, Apple warrants that the replacement iPod will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for 90 days from the replacement ship date.

IPOD FREEZING AND SKIPPING SONGS

hi,
i've had my ipod for about 6 years or so. just recently it's start to freeze and slow up on me. if i'm listening to songs and press the next song. it takes ages for the next song to come on or else it freezes. Also during some songs it skips on me as if part of the song is missing.
what to do? any help would be much appreciated

I had this problem with my old 20GB classic ipod, it all started when I began using my ipod for my running trainings, every day it used to get worse freezing every 10 minutos or so, then I got ****** and bought a new 80GB classic Ipod, I have it for about 3 weeks now and guess what? It started freezing or skiping songs also. I did a test where I synced the same library on my both ipod and the songs being skipped on my new one wasnt being skipped on the old one, so its a problem with the song, then I though it could be any damage in the ipod HD but my new ipod has no reason to be damaged, the only impact that it might have recived is from my running trainings, but the impacts are really weak. Other test I did was trying to remove the song being skiped from the ipod, everytime I did that my ipod couldnt be ejcted, it kept showing me the following message "The ipod canot be ejcted because it contains files that are used by another aplication." I had to unplug my ipod without ejecting it.

My friend just gave me his old ipod touch and I need help figuring out how the put it on my itunes account so that I can add songs and apps to it. Does anybody know how?

Just in case that wasn't specific enough....It's an older ipod touch. He gave it to me as a Christmas gift and I want to keep the songs and Apps he already has on it but I want to be able to add more to it which means I would need it on my own itunes account because I can't add anything to it without a password.

I'd suggest restoring it to make sure you start completely clean:

IPod locked and USB not recognised?

Someone please help!! I've been stuck with this problem for the last three days. Basically, what has happened is:
I changed my passcode for my iPod 5 the other day, then had to turn my iPod off as I was in school, I get to my iPod
at lunch and completely forget the passcode I changed it to. So now I'm locked out. This has happened before so
I knew what to do but this time, whenever I plug the USB into my laptop a little message just pops up saying
''USB not recognised''. I've tried absolutely everything to get this USB to work, I've even used different USBs
but barely any of them work or nothing comes up at all, like the laptop doesnt even know it's plugged in.
Is there any way I can restart my iPod without connecting it to iTunes or..? Does anyone know how to sort out
the USB? Sorry if this was a stupid question, I'm not very good at this sort of stuff.
Thanks anyway,
Kate x

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
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.
Also, as necessary:
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
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Also see:
iPod not recognised by windows iTunes
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
Further:
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.

IPod Touch and transfering songs and podcasts

I just got the ipod touch yesterday and i went to put some songs on but it's different. You have to click the iPod and then select certain playlists. Is there anyway to just drag the song onto you ipod without having to make a playlist? And also I have a podcast that i want to download but i don't want all 151 of them so how do I put in just a couple? thanks.

Try going into your iPod in iTunes and in the SUMMARY section click on MANUALLY MANAGE MUSIC AND VIDEOS. It should then let you drag individual songs and podcasts etc to your iPod.
Hope this helps.
IceGiant.
