Ipod nano is locked

my ipod nano is locked - how do I unlock it? Is there a default code? How do I take care of it

It seems as if your iPod is stuck on how. Try putting it on hold and push down hard on the hold switch and drag it to the unlock position.
Also, see if this works...

  • Can a 6g ipod nano be locked in clock mode

    can a 6th generation ipod nano be locked in clock mode. i put it in clock mode but it keeps going to sleep within a minute and is becoming highly annoying-_-

    Head to Settings -> General  and make sure Time on Wake is set to On.
    Keep in mind that if you put it to sleep when playing music, it won't wake up to the clock by default.  You must put it to sleep from any other screen other than the Now Playing one.

  • Ipod nano is locked asking for code

    my ipod nano is locked and is asking for a code. Is there a default code that i need to enter? Please let me know how i can take care of this.

    No, there isn't a default code. The code is entered by you to lock the nano.

  • IPod Nano Screen Lock bug

    I think I have discovered a bug in the iPod Nano software. I'm using the latest software available as for today.
    I lock the iPod Nano's screen and as expected, the graphical display of a combination lock appears. I insert the iPod Nano on to the Universal Dock and then proceed to control the Nano from the Apple Remote. It works partly. I am able to pause and play music and after a song finishes, it goes to the next one. I am not, however, able to fast forward, rewind, or skip tracks. I am able to play and pause, plus the Nano goes to the next track automatically after it finishes play the current one.
    Seems to me a bug! I would imagine that the screen lock is supposed to lock all kinds of control to the iPod except entering password.

    connect it to itunes and it will unlock

  • My 2nd generation iPod Nano has locked me out

    I own a 2nd generation iPod Nano. Yesterday, when I turned it on, I discovered that I was locked out of the controls, and the Hold button wasn't even activated. I think I've tried everything possible, both on this site and at home, to get the controls to unlock so I can use it again, but nothing has worked. Is my iPod officially broken, or does someone else know of a way to fix such a problem that isn't listed anywhere?

    Have you tried resetting your iPod? Make sure the hold button is turned off, then hold down the menu + center button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. You should see an apple appear on the screen.
    If that doesn't work, and your iPod is recognized by iTunes, I'd try and restore the iPod which is explained in this article:

    I hope this helped! Good luck!

  • Ipod nano is locked and can't remember the code what do I do?

    My ipod nano 4th gen. is locked and I can't remember the code, does anybody know how to unlock it with a universal code??? Or is there a way to figure the code out?

  • IPod Nano Buttons locked up

    My son got a brand new black iPod Nano for X-mas and within 2 days the buttons locked up. I tried resetting it by holding the Menu and middle button at the same time...several times. That did not work. Then I hooked it up to iTunes and Reset it to factory settings. After it went thru the process it asked what language I wanted, but no buttons will work to select. It's now stuck on the Language screen. And no, the hold button isn't on. I don't know what else to do. Anyone with help?????

    On 8 Jan 09, I contacted Apple help desk (as in a live person, not the recorded tech support recording) and asked for a "live" tech support person and actually got one! After walking me through steps other than the already tried, support tech said I would need a replacement. The next day (9 Jan 09), got a box from Apple from FedEx, put my IPod in it and off it went to Apple. Today (12 Jan 09) I came home from Physical Therapy and on my table waiting for me was my brand new IPod and a letter stating that my problem (non-functioning buttons and stuck on Language page) was a defect and enclosed was my replacement brand new IPod. It is working great.
    Answer: If it's broken, talk to a live person at Apple and get it replaced.

  • My iPod nano has locked up with connectd eject before disconnecting

    IiPod nano needs resetting it's locked up with connected eject before disconnecting but the computer does not recognise it

    Greetings badminton1829,
    It seems your iPod will not respond when plugged in or otherwise. You may want to consider restoring it to factory settings:

  • Ipod Nano stays locked even in the unlocked position

    After locking the ipod for my run (5th gen. nano), the ipod does not respond to the switch going into the unlock mode. I cannot jump to the next song, cannot look at pedometer, screen is in sleep mode but music is still playing. The only thing that the ipod responds to is pulling the headphone jack out! help! I have my first 5K run coming up and I need a fully functioning Ipod!

    You posted to the wrong area of discussions. This is the 5th Generation iPod group (the video full sized iPods that were released previous to the "Classic" models). If you are asking a Nano question, you want to post to this area...

  • New Ipod nano always locked and cannot press or do anything?

    my new ipod i got for my birthday and well its always locked i've tried the to change the hold but it wont work and i can't click anything its really annyoing i cant listen to my music and videos can someone please help me
    Thanks for all help =)
    Thanks if you reply!

    How exactly is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library?  In other words, what options do you have selected/enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music tabs for the iPod in iTunes.  To access the Summary tab, plug the iPod in and select it from under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes.  To move onto the Music tab, select the Music tab along the top part of the window.
    As for the grayed out tracks, there may have been an issue during the sync process.  The best thing to do is remove all the music from your iPod and resync it.

    That's how you reset the iPod, but resetting it doesn't unlock the screen lock.

  • Ipod Nano seems locked up

    I was notified last week that I had an update for my nano. I loaded up the updater and hooked up my nano. Ever since then it went in to the folder with exclamation and I can not get it out. I have tried everything that I was suppose to do on the Apple support page. When I try a restore, it says my ipod has bad disc. Can anyone help or should I send it in. I bought it in October but it has less than 20 hours on it since I was sent oversees and just got back and did not take it.
