Ipod touch reset

My iPod touch is disabled. How can I do a reset? The computer which it was last synced to is broken.

Place the iPod in recovery mode and restore to factory defaults/new iPod via iTunes. For recovery mode:

IPod Touch reseting after iOS 4.0 upgrade

I upgraded my 32GB iPod touch Monday and noticed that if I am playing music and the screen has locked, sometimes I have to reset the iPod to get it to turn back on. So far it has happened about 5 times in the last 3 days, usually after listening to a longer podcast and then waiting 5-10 minutes before moving to something else. Is this a problem with the screen lock function, the home button, or some other issue? Obviously the home button functions, since you have to hold it down to do the reset and I can do that just fine, but could it be unresponsive for some reason after the screen lock function kicks in? Am I hitting the wrong button now to get the iPod screen to turn back on after the OS update? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Using your wife's laptop, you can do the 3.0 upgrade, provided she has iTunes 8.2. You'll need to copy the update from your machine to her laptop. The update on your machine should be located at C:\Documents and Settings\(account name)\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates. The file name is iPod2,13.0_7A341Restore.ipsw You'll need to add the folder \iPod Software Updates to her laptop if it doesn't exist, then copy the update into it. You can then do a restore and it will load 3.0. From there, you can connect to your machine and sync your stuff back.

After 1st Gen iPod touch reset, cannot configure mail for Mobile Me or iCloud account

I recently reset my iPod touch 1st Gen, v. 3.1.3 (7E18) and have not been able to configure Mail to check the Mobile Me or iCloud mail server. I get an error msg that the user name or password must be incorrect, but they're not. I assume this is due to the old IOS not being up to date with iCloud technologies, but I was able to get mail on this device before resetting. I don't use it much for email, but do carry it on trips as a backup access device to get to mail and calendars. I dont really want to use Safari to check mail when there is a mail app for doing so.
Any suggestions?

HT4972 ipod touch reset unable to connect to wifi

Got rid of white screen after three days of trying to connect to I Tunes and was able to reset Ipod Touch. Now I cannot get wifi, that area is faded. Why does everthing have to be so difficult.

Is there any Physical damage like being dropped or Liquid damage like getting it wet? Usually the "White Screen - Wifi Greyed out " combo is from one of these two things. Wifi is burned out and gone if it is greyed out in settings screen. Contact Apple for Out of warranty repair if you damaged it or have them repair it if it is still under warranty.

Ipod touch resets back to storebought condition

My iPod has reset itself back to the condition it was first purchased in twice now. The first time I had to re-add EVERYTHING, the second time my friend plugged it into his computer and everything I had lost was suddenly back on.
Why does this keep happening, and what exactly do I have to do to keep the data from being permanently erased? I have important notes and pictures on there, and I already lost a lot of them once...

My 4th generation iPod touch (reset today) is unable to connect to any VPN systems. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

Didn't realise there would be a question box as well as title and it would take ages to write out again, so...
Does anybody know what to do when an iPod refuses to connect to VPN?
Thanks

Thanks for the response,
I have tried 3 vpns so far, hotspot shield, spot flux and onavo extend.
All 3 can be downloaded and installed as I can surf the Internet fine.
The problem occurs when trying to install the profile to run the VPN. The certificate shows as authenticated so I add profile, and in the VPN settings tab I can see the current VPN profile, but swiping the VPN swiper to on results in a spinning wheel for a period and then it gives up and VPN returns to off.
For the record, hotspot shield works fine on my mac computer.

4.0 update to my 2nd Generation iPod Touch reset all my games and notes etc

Did anyone else have this problem? My Notes and all of my apps were reset as though I just downloaded them. I lost important info. There must be a back-up file of everything somewhere and I would like to have help looking for it. Thanks! ;0)

Go to iTunes/Settings/Devices and check if the backup listed there is from the time before the upgrade. If yes, restore from that one by right clicking on your device in the device list and choosing "restore from backup". More details about restoring can be found in these two help articles: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

The screen on my ipod touch is stuck zoomed in. I turned it off and back and its still stuck zoomed in. I also tried to reset it and that didn't work either. Please help.

The screen on my ipod touch is stuck zoomed in. I don't know how it happened I just looked down and it was like that. I have turned it off and back and even reset it but it still keeps zooming back in each time I turn it on. I can't unlock it because I can't see the numbers and it won't let me move around the screen. Please help.

This is asked and answered often. The foru search bar is on the right side of this page.
