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.

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

  • Skype client locked and unable to unlock it...

    It appears my skype client is locked. I found out by logging into the account. So to recover the account I go through a process (fair enough), but it asks for the beginning and ending credit card numbers. At that point I am like Huh? It is because the credit card I used on Skype does not exist anymore. It is years ago and I have no idea what those numbers are. So off I go to search to for a direct contact to support, and what do I find? NOTHING, NADA, ZIP...
    So how do I contact actual support at Skype?

    Hi, whatevergoes, and welcome to the Community,
    If your account is suspended/locked, believe it or not, create a new Skype account so you can contact Skype Customer Service to recover access to your first account.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service

    There is no way out of the problem unless you have previously synced it with a computer. If you Restore the phone on the last computer it synced to it will remove the passcode and restore the contents, but if you don't have access to that computer there is no way to recover the contents of the phone.

  • Photoshop locked in Leopard and unable to unlock

    Since upgrade to leopard I have been having issues opening files and applications, as they are locked. I go to the "Get Info" command in the finder and unlock the file using password etc. I do this by clicking on the padlock and after using my password the padlock opens, then when I go to open PS3 it says it is locked and when I go back in the padlock is locked again....Anyone have any idea how I can unlock this so I can use PS3 and Bridge.
    BTW, I was able to open Bridge, but it crashed and now it is locked and I cannot unlock it......
    Many thanks.

    Just EXACTLY what do you mean by "the applications itself is locked"? Do mean that when you do GetInfo on:
    "/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS/Adobe Photoshop CS.app"
    there is a check mark in the GetInfo panel? And a lock icon on the application? In other words, does it look like this:
    http://homepage.mac.com/francines/.Public/locked.jpg
    If it does, what happens when you click the box in front of locked? Actually, if the permissions show that you are the owner, and the group is staff, you shouldn't even have to click the padlock at the bottom. I can lock and unlock the application just by clicking on the box. If you can't, it makes me wonder just EXACTLY how you upgraded to Leopard. There can be a raft of very technical ownership/group problems, depending on what you did.

    Restore the phone from backup.  If this does not work, restore the Phone as a new device not using backup at all.

    When I try to puchase an Album I get an error that says "Apple ID is locked and unable to make purchases"

    Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your iPad then try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it
