My 8yr daughter has a iPod Touch, I know nothing about them. She turns it on & the screen says "iPod is disabled", how do I fix this for her????

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

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.

    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.

  • Pretend I know nothing about this topic, because I DON'T, and help me figure out how to format bullets in 'Pages' for IPad. I turned them on somehow, and now can't turn them off, and they are popping up in all the wrong places

    I think I effectively proved my point about knowing nothing about this, by posting my whole question in the title. To review, I have a 1 year old iPad, and have Pages on it for a word processing program. I somehow turned on bullets on one of my documents and can't figure out how to stop it, and they are in all the wrong places. How do I turn it off?

    If your computer is on one minute before it freezes, than you have one minute to secure your serial number.
    click the apple----->click about this Mac ------> click on version----> until you see the serial number.  You may have to do this a couple of times if it freezes before you have all the numbers.  A camera might help.
    Good Luck

    Connect in recovery mode to restore, explained in this article: iOS: Unable to update or restore
    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, iPad and iPod touch software.

  • HT1695 I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little bit of information in the folder that came with it, all I can do is turn it on, but it just powers down after a few seconds.  How do I work this thing?

    I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little information that came with it, all I can do is turn it on.  Then in a few seconds it goes black, never having brought up a screen to do anything!  Help!  What do I do to get this thing going?

    You might consider connecting it to the charger and charging up the battery overnight.

    In the general settings on my ipod touch 2nd gen, I do not have an update choice. Anyone know anything about this?

    An iPod Touch at iOS 3.1.3 and that iTunes states is up to date must be a 1st generation Touch, not 2nd.
    See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_2nd_generation  and notice the diffference between the 1st and 2nd gen models.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Buying Used Nano but know nothing about iPod...Need help!!!

    Hello, first off let me say I know nothing about iPods. I want to buy a used one. I was told that iTunes will only recognize 1 iPod. The person I am buying it from tells me that she is unable to sync both her new iPod and old iPod to her itunes. She gets a message stating that only one iPod can be synced to iTunes. I don't want to purchase this from her only to find that it will not sync to my iTunes.
    Does iTunes have some sort of security feature that will prevent me from purchasing this from her and syncing it with my iTunes? If so can I reset an iPod back to factory settings?
    Please help???

    I bought an ipod nano 5th generation used from someone in China. It is not showing up in iTunes, but it does show up on my mac desktop. I believe it was reformatted and is not recognized by iTunes. How can I fix this? Is there a way to restore without using iTunes? How can I reformat?

    I hope you are correct.  When I click on the Macintosh HD icon on my desk top the sidebar  section that says shared shows the server I mentioned. 
    Just as I said.
    If i click on that shared device it logs in as a guest unless I cancel that action.
    No, it logs your computer into that server as a guest.
    I never knowingly  ok'ed sharing with another network or computer. 
    Perhaps not, but the printer is set up (possibly at manufacture) to offer services to computers on its network.
    IF I click on the shared device to delete it a message says I cannot do that.  Any thoughts?
    It the device is still on your network and still offering services, it will be listed as available. If it leaves the network or stops offering services, it should leave the list of available servers.
    I suppose it might be handy to have a "hide this server" or "pretend this server doesn't exist" button, but we don't have one.

  • My iphone is disabled how to fixe?

    my iphone is disabled how to fixe/

    If it's disabled from entering the wrong passcode too many times, you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode.  If you're running iOS 7, assuming you have Find My iPhone enabled you'll need to force it into recovery mode in order to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

    Then it must be disabled for reasons other that using an incorrect password too many times.  You'll have to contact iTunes store support to get this resolved: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.
