IPod touch password problem

I forgot my password on my old iPod touch, how do I get into it?
If I plug it into my computer and try to restore it, will it ask for my iTunes account password?
Because I forgot that password too (because it's an old account which I can't use anymore because I don't know the answers to the security questions).
What do I do?!?!?!?!?! I just want to be able to use the iPod again

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.

Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered not accepted

Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered not accepted
Trying to help my son set up his ipod touch to connect to the network and the password I entered is not accepted.
1. Which password is required? I entered the password I use for logging into my router
2. The home network is recognized, when selected it requires a password to be entered, but I am just not sure what password it is looking for to connect.
I have not been able to find any information on this subject

jersey0904, Welcome to the discussion area!
You need to enter the wireless encryption password... not the administrative password for the router.

Lost my iPod touch password

What I can do to recover my iPod touch password to unlock

you can try to guess it, but thats it.
You are talking about the "slide to unlock" pass code right? All you can do is guess. You will eventually get locked out of your ipod if you guess it wrong too many times. You cannot restore from backup, because it will have your passcode on it as well.
all you can do is restore as new.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 Make a backup of your pictures
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 Transfer your purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 setting up as new
Turn on iCloud (Settings>iCloud>turn everything on you want saved)
After you restore as new, you can sync all your apps and music back over. make sure you write down the icloud account you are signed in to (some people have multiple accounts)
By the way if you do get locked out, look at the following article.

Lost Ipod Touch password, no backup, please help

My daughter forgot her ipod touch password. She has never backed it up on itunes before. She has a lot of games and tunes that she purchased. Is there a way to recover that password without losing the downloads? Any help is appreciated!

Hi debs2014,
You will have to place your daughter's iPod Touch into recovery mode to restore the device to default factory settings.
There is no other way to recover a lost password, but to place the device in recovery mode then restore.
Here's the article for placing the device in recovery mode:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If your daughter purchased apps and music from itunes she can re-download from the itunes and apps store apps on her device by tapping the icons on home screen, then signing in with apple id and password.
Here an article that can help you re-download past purchases:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If your daughter didn't purchase the apps and tunes from the itunes or apps stores, then she will have to re-download or re-purchase the items from where she purchased the apps and tunes initially.
Hope this helps.
Let me know.

I have a mac pro, an ipad2 and now an ipod touch. Problem is my apple ID password is not recognized, and I cannot download or purchase applications. I have had to keep changing my password than it doesn't accept the new one either??? It says it's a year o

I just bought an ipod touch and am trying to make an application purchase on it and to use icloud to transfer to my ipad or laptop.
I cannot sign in. the password is never accepted. How do I get into applications to purchase or download some of what I have on my ipad?
This sign in on the ipod touch has the address computerservice1614.com I don't even know what that is. I signed in with my apple ID but had to keep changing the password because the ipod won't accept any of them. I am feeling so frustrated and wishing I didn't buy the ipod. Anyone know how to deal with this. I am so tired of trying. This is my second day of trying.

I would restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod on your computer and start over. It appears the iPod is associated with another account. Any media that came with the iPod does not belong to you and di not transfer with the iPod hardware.

IPod Touch Internet Problems

My iPod Touch connects to my wi-fi but the internet does not work. I've tried forgetting the network and re-entering the password, I've updated all software, I've reset network settings, and I've also restored my ipod touch to factory settings to see if that would help. As of now, none of that has fixed the issue.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You may not really be connected to your network.
Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. To check on this go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Restarting your router by removing power to it for 30 seconds and restarting it may get around this problem. If this doesn't work then check for a firmware update for your router on the manufacturer's support web page.
If you need more help please give the make, model and version of your router and how you have it configured.

Updated Ipod now password problems

can anyone help me with this problem?
I recently installed update Itunes 4.0 on my sons ipod with no problems but now it wont accept my Itunes password!
The same password is fine on the other 2 devices I have linked to Itunes - its only the one I updated.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- 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 touch mail problem?

I recently reset the password for my Hotmail account and when I tried to check my mail on my iPod, which was already synced it asked for the new password and I entered it i got an error message saying "Unable to verify account information". I deleted the Hotmail account and tried to add again and I got the same message. I have entered the new password multiple times and I am ABSOLUTELY sure that I got it right. I have also added my email address multiple times and I'm sure that I've got that right too. I have reset the password once more and still have the same problem. I have an iPod touch 4th generation with iOS 5. What should I do? Any help will be most appreciated, thanks

Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that didn't help try
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

IPod touch password forgotten

I can't remember the password to my iPod touch and now it says, "iPod is disabled. Connect to iTunes". I no longer have the computer I set it up with. I researched a little and tried to put it in recovery mode on iTunes on my laptop. However, to restore it, it kept saying I would have to enter my password first. This was not required on all the tutorials I watched. I just need to know how to get my iPod turned on again without having a pass code. Do you have any suggestions?

This "However, to restore it, it kept saying I would have to enter my password first." means you did not get it into Recovery mode. Keep ttrying

Ipod touch restore problem *URGENT PLEASE HELP*

Ok well I just inherited an Ipod touch from my friend who upgraded to a iPhone and it has a lock code, which I don't know. I called up my friend and asked him the code, he didn't know it of course... so i just guessed passwords and it said it was locked, I only have one more try until it locks permanently. So, I tried resetting it and it didn,t work. so i put it in recovery mode and it was gonna be ok, but my problem is I have slow dial-up internet and cannot re-download the software because my internet turns off randomly and it takes about 35 hours straight to download the 280MB, my other problem is that every time the download is disrupted, what itunes has already downloaded deletes itself and I have to start over from zero. I cannot fully download the software and have no access to hi-speed internet, I need a solution please otherwise im sitting here with a $300 piece of junk.

Just bring it over to your friends house and have him reset it for you. Then bring it to your house to put your music on it.
It is as simple as that. Too bad you have dial-up still. I use broadband and it is very fast.

IPod touch Battery Problems Since iOS 7 was installed last year.

Hello, I've had recurring battery problems with my iPod touch since the iOS 7 update was installed, and I find myself having to charge my iPod touch (5th Generation) a lot more frequently since I installed this update.
On iOS 6, I had never experienced any problems with the iPod touch's battery, as I was able to let the battery drain down completely, and let it charge for 4 hours (recommended). After the iPod touch was fully charged for 4 whole hours, I was able to unplug the lightning cable, and the iPod touch on its own would last a few days to at least a week or two weeks.
On iOS 7, since it saw its general release on the 18th September last year, I have found that the iPod's battery has drained so bad, that it dies too quickly, and when I put the iPod touch on charge, in almost an hour, the iPod touch tells me that it is 100% charged. However, when I take the iPod touch off its charge after it fully charges for that hour, it quickly drains down again.
I have gone through the standard procedure of restoring my iPod touch to its factory settings, and I have seen absolutely no improvement on the battery life whatsoever. I mainly back up whatever is on my iPod touch (I back up pictures, videos and also transfer updates that I have installed for certain apps onto iTunes), though I have seen how some people have backed up the data on their iPod's or iPhones, only they find their iDevice draining so quickly.
Even turning off certain features in the Settings app to improve the battery life doesn't help, as there is almost no difference that solves the problems I'm currently having with the iPod touch's battery.
I recently heard about the free iPhone battery replacement program which is now available, so I'm starting to worry whether I have to pay for a new replacement battery for my iPod touch.
Your help in this matter would be gratefully appreciated.
Many kind regards,
Alex Smithson

I mainly charge the iPod touch itself for four hours and it still doesn't make a difference. I've had my iPod touch for almost 2 years and since I installed iOS 7, it still doesn't make a difference.
I was wondering, if the article you have provided doesn't sort the problems with the battery out, is there another alternative??
Your help and advice is most appreciated.
Many kind regards,
Alex Smithson
