Ipod Touch Generation 3 passcode - loading - passcode flickering

Ipod touch 3rd generation: After software update locked itslef, and every 2-3 seconds switches between the "enter passcode" screen and block loading screen. I can type in the passcode (if I am fast enough) but it loops back within a second of me being logged in. This keeps going until it drains the battery. Holding down lock and home goes to the apple screen, but then back to the same cycle. Tried resetting through itunes, but it will not connect to a "locked" ipod. (all this with a Windows 7 PC in case it matters).

Restore in iTunes again, but place it in Recovery Mode:

  • I recently bought a used iPod touch generation 5 and reset it (erased everything from it because the previous owner left a passcode on it) and I had to enter my language,wi-fi stuff, and then it said "Activate iPod" I don't know the owners info! Help?

    I recently bought a used iPod touch generation 5 and reset it (erased everything from it because the previous owner left a passcode on it) and I had to enter my language,wi-fi stuff, and then it said "Activate iPod" This iPod is currently linked to an Apple ID (c*****@k*****.net). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPod. The man who sold it to me said he bought it from another guy and sold it to me..So, I don't know what to do! I searched it up and it said you could go to iCloud and iTunes, but It's not working for me. Please help!!

    A little more information:

    you have a thin brick. I suspect your iPod was stolen or lost. I would turn it into the police since it is worthless to you if you can't get the previous owner to remove from their account

    Plug the sync cable into the device and the computer.  Not really that difficult.
    To remove the passcode, do as the User's Guide says, restore the device.

  • I have my iTunes on my PC and have an iPod Classic, I have just purchased an iPod touch and want to load all of my Itunes music onto it, how do I do this and not loose my library, I'm not very computer savvy.

    I have my iTunes on my PC and have an iPod Classic, I have just purchased an iPod touch and want to load all of my Itunes music onto it, how do I do this and not loose my library, I'm not very computer savvy.

    You sync music the same way as on the Classic. What you sync to an iPod does not effect the iTunes library on your computer.

  • How do I fix? -iPod Touch Generation 4 frozen and jammed

    I have an iPod Touch Generation 4 and the sleep button/lock screen button is jammed. I can't fix the jam no matter what and I've tried everything said online and such. I got a notification from an app and slid open, tapped in correct code, and the app opened immediately like usual. So when you rotate your iPod, the screen turns right? The screen was horizontal so I flipped the iPod vertically and it didn't move so I tried again because, hey, might be lagging. Nope. For a good three minutes it stayed on the same screen. Slowly, the screen began to grey and fade and then it got all distorted and you can only see green and grey lines (green because that's the app's main color). Anyway, I don't mind the jam that's not the problem, I have it so you can press the dot on the screen to get it to go to the lock screen. The only problem is my ipod is completely frozen and I have my contacts, passwords, photos, music, ect on that ipod and I need it. Please help me?

    - 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.

    Wow the customer service is even worse. Does Apple want me to go around jailbreaking my iPod now so I can use something that actually recognizes my product?

  • Transferring content from Ipod Touch Generation 1 to Ipod Touch generation4

    I would like to transfer all my apps,songs and pictures and video content to my ipod touch generation 4. What is the best way to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

    It is easy. Just sync it to the same computer and the first time you connected the 4G restore it using the backup from your 1G. You should be prompted for that option when you first connect it.
