  • Ipod stuck in lock mode and won't connect to Windows computer

    My Ipod is stuck on the lock position and won't connect to my computer when I plug it in. The hold switch moves back and forth just fine and it was working perfectly yesterday. It's the classic nano that's square. It's stuck on a song that I used as my alarm yesterday morning. I haven't turned it on since then and when I pushed the on switch, it went to the screen but then wouldn't do anything else. I've tried to hold down the menu and middle button while moving the hold switch, but it didn't work. Please help!

    I fixed it! I had to switch the hold button from on to off to on again and then held the menu and middle button down at the same time. It works just fine now!

  • IPod stuck in Lock mode...Help!

    My iPod is stuck on the screen Lock, where you have to enter the 4 digit number. I know what my password is, but it wont unlock. WHen i press the center button, it doesnt accept it. it doesnt say that it is wrong, either.I tried to reset it while in lock, but it wont work either. Basically, the center button doesnt work. please help!!!!

    Hook it up to the computer and it automaticly unlocks. If the center button doesen't work restore it's factory settings.

  • Ipod is stuck in lock mode

    Do you know how to restart an old Ipod because my ipod is stuck in lock mode.

    Does "lock mode" mean your iPod's buttons do not work, or does it mean you need to enter a code on a screen?

  • 160GB iPod classic stuck in lock mode

    My 160gb iPod classic is stuck in lock mode.
    The lock switch is off and the iPod itself is still "locked"
    Is there any way i can fix this? it seems like there's a glitch with the lock but it moves smoothly and doesn't seem to have anything wrong with it
    Yet the iPod is still locked
    should I take it to the apple store?

    If none of the 5 R's are able to resolve the issue, it's likely a hardware issue, meaning you'll need to have the iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party service.

  • Stuck on Lock mode

    I've tried resetting it, I've held the buttons down, I've let it empty its battery (I left it alone for more than 42 hours, but there's no way for me to tell if it died), but it's still stuck on Locked mode. Not Screen Lock, though. It's really frustrating.
    I've toggled the Hold switch and it appears fine other than being locked. It uploads into iTunes, which I have the newest version of, and I can update it and stuff, it just is locked and I can't get into it.
    Please help!

    4th Gen IPod stuck in recovery mode, how do I reset or restore?

    Connect it to iTunes.  If iTunes doesn't see the iPod, try manually connecting the device to iTunes in recovery mode using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • Ipod stuck in restore mode and cannot download new itunes?

    latest itunes will not download, previously downloaded but deleted and tried to dowload again after  ipod stuck in restore mode?

    Start with:
    Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
    Then
    - 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.

  • Ipod stuck in recovery mode and won't restore. says it can't connect to the network.

    My son tried to jailbreak his ipod touch like an idiot and of course it did not work. Now his ipod is stuck in recovery mode and I can't get it to restore. I get a message that says:the ipod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later. I have internet access and everything is working but itunes can't connect to it. Why? I have been having issues with itunes for a couple weeks now. I can't connect to the store and redeem itunes cards either.

    Make sure the setting for your security software allow iTunes to contact Apple servers:
    iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues
    As for the iPod, since he tried to modify the software, the only thing that could help would be DFU mode , we can't help much more, problems with jailbroken devices can't be discussed in theses forums, due to the Terms of Use.
    Your son has to ask those people for help, which encouraged him to jailbreak his device.

  • IPod stuck in Disk Mode(Restart won't work)

    My iPod is stuck in disk mode, and no matter how many times I restart it, it stays in this. I've tried the 5R's and I've tried restarting it. Is there any other fixes?

    I know, you have tried a Restart and the 5Rs, but can you try the Hard Reset,  as below disconnected from the PC.
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

  • Mac formatted ipod stuck in recovery mode when rescuing tunes onto a PC

    Hi
    I have an ipod Nano (6gb) that is Mac formatted. I tried to recover the tunes from it to a PC desktop with Xplay. It started ok and then the ipod entered into recovery mode so it could be reformatted for Windows (I think itunes started doing it).
    At that moment I couldn’t recover my tunes. Now whenever I use Xplay again it says "not accessible. The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable.” So it’s stuck in recovery mode.
    I know the tunes are still on the ipod because the amount of disk space taken up hasn’t changed, despite the ipod not actually showing the songs on the UI.
    How can I fix this so I can grab all the tunes off the ipod before I restore the ipod in itunes and thus effectively formatting it?
    Cheers,
    L
