Ipod touch generation 5. Disabled, no luck restoring and is no longer recognised.
Kids disabled it, I have tried restoring but it made me download an update first by which point it decided my Ipod was no longer recognised by my computer and still won't recognise it. I tried turning it off, then connected the usb, held down the power button for 3 seconds, then at the same time held the home button for whoever many seconds, then let go of the power button and continued holding the home button for whoever long it told me too in the info I managed to find online. Any other advice please?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. Try a couple of times since timing is critical. 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
Try another cable
Try on another computer
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.

I cannot access facetime or messages on my Ipod touch anymore. I have restarted, restored and it still is not working..any ideas?
It asks for my apple ID and password when I try to access facetime or messages
. After I enter it brings me to an email to select-then verifies and brings me back to enter ID again. -
i lost my ipod touch (gen 3) it had only music and photos on it. no mail enabled but passlock off. i am worried if someone finds it, they will be able to download the fotos by connecting to a new computer and not syncing but just downloading. that is the case, right?
There are ways to get content off the iPod from another computer, yes. Someone has to know a bit about what they're doing, though, but it's not horrendously difficult. So it is possible that someone could get your photos.

IPod touch 4g- Updated, then tried to restore and it won't work.
I just updated my iPod touch 4g. I'm trying to restore it now, but it won't work and says 'Error 1611.' My ipod has the 'plug into iTunes' symbol up, but my iPod is plugged in and it doesn't make a difference. I've tried restoring it several times with the same results. Help!

what does error (1) mean... not able to restore iPod touch... please help
Usually indicates a hardware failure. Try restoring again, on a different computer if you can. And use Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. If that fails then it is nearly certainly a hardware issue as I said.

My backlight for ipod touch is off I tried a restore and nothing...
I tried a restore and the backlight is still off. I'm hoping there is a solution out there that someone comes up with?
If you did not restore to factory defaults/new iPod try that. Whan a restore to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve a problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hi, umm so anyways my ipod is about 2 years old now and i think the reason why it started to malfunction in the first place was because i had too much stuff on my ipod, apps, movies, and junk. But now i took it to the apple store and they were able to restore my ipod but when i go home it goes bad again and i try ot restore it on my laptop and it says it can't restore it. (11) and another thing is that when i try to turn my ipod on, it turns on to the apple logo then all of a sudden theres suppose to be the unlock screen but instead a black screen with a tiny loading sign in the middle and it keeps buffering and it never turns on. and then it shuts off with a white screen and then does the same exact thing for like 10 minutes. please help me. I dont know what to do. and my dad will be very ****** if it cant be helped..D:

TS4006 white screen ipod touch generation 4
I have a plain white screen on my ipod touch generation 4. I have restored it..updated it etc. I'm able to hear music playing but can't see a thing. I have tried resetting it and I get nothing. Do I need a new screen?
If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

Replacing the screen would likely fix the problem but it could also be due to another hardware problem. -

I have just restored my ipod touch after being disabled. Now it is asking for the passcode? I still cant remember the passcode. How do I go past this?
You'll have connect in recovery mode and set it up "as new ipod" http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone and iPod touch software.
If the issue continues after updating and restoring your device, refer to this document.

My iPod touch is permanently disabled and it says to connect my iPod to my iTunes yet when I do that, it tells me to type in pass code even though it's still disabled. PLEASE HELP ME
I have the same problem with mine... but im trying to find a way to fix it without restoring it...
but one fix is to shut it down completely ... then press and hold BOTH the power button and the home button .. hold both of those 4 ten seconds .. then release the power button but still hold down the home button .. and then it'll show something that says "connect to itunes" once u get it connected to itunes , click the restore button ... BEWARE THIS WILL WIPE OUT EVERYTHING ON YOUR IPOD!!! IT WILL RESTORE IT BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS , AS IF U JUST BOUGHT IT !!!!! then it should work fine again .. but u will lose all data on there besides the things you have synced with itunes already..
Thats y im iffy with doing this , im trying to find a fix where i wont have 2 restore it but i dont think there is 1 :'(
good luck tho

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?
