Ipod won't unlock or connect to Itunes?

Okay so when i switched on my laptop about half an hour ago the first thing i did was connect my ipod to itunes, itunes refused to open so i disconnected the ipod, Itunes now runs smoothly-
However, my Ipod classic 6th Gen (which i literally brought on Thursday) is displaying the lock button- it had been locked prior to connecting to itunes but now it seems frozen that way
I tried to connect to itunes again but the system wouldn't recognise the ipod, however when i disconnected a notification showed up telling me that the ipod was potentially corrupted and should restore it
any advice? I'm at my wits end here!

Oh sorry... I must have had that other doc open for another reply.  This is the actual iPod Reset document

You may want to try doing a Restore (if you have not already), to see if that makes any difference for your issue with having to do a Reset. This is the document for doing a Restore

  • 2nd gen ipod won't restart or connect to itunes

    My ipod sometimes won't be recognized by any computer if it's been connected to a non-computer usb port like a wall charger. This is normally fixed by reseting the ipod nano (toggle hold then press & hold menu + play/pause) but now the ipod won't reset using this method (I've tried multiple times). Is there a way to fix either of these problems?

  • How to unlock your ipod if you need to connect to ITunes?

    How do you unlock your Ipod if you need to connect to ITunes?

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    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.

  • My ipod touch screen froze on a blank white page and won't let me connect to itunes what to do?

    My ipod touch screen froze on a blank white page and won't let me connect to itunes what to do?

    It works for many users. In some cases the white screen is due to a hardware problem and there is nothing that one can do short of getting someonet to know what they are doing and take the iPod apart andmaybe fix the hardware problem.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 another cable       
    - 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.

  • IPod will not charge or connect to itunes

    Hello, My name is Perla and I am a proud customer of Apple. I bought my iPod Touch 4G 8G on March 17, 2011. I had no problems over the course of almost a year. Last week, my iPod would not charge or connect to iTunes. I took it to the Apple Store and they exchanged mine for another. Just a couple of days ago, my new iPod had been experiencing the same problem. As of now, it would not charge to my computer or any outlet for that matter or connect to iTunes. I want to take it to the Apple Store and get it checked out but I'm afraid they won't exchange it again, they'll probably charge me and I don't have the money. Any ideas or suggestions?

    I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.  You warranty is istll in effect.  The warranty for a replacement iPod is 90 days or the remainder of the original warranty, which  ever is greater.

  • IPod Touch is stuck in "connect to iTunes" screen. It is not recognized by iTunes or by my Windows (64-bit) computer.

    I recently purchased a new laptop after my old one ceased to function. Therefore, I had lost ,my old iTunes, and my iPod is no longer authorized by a functioning computer. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes, plugged my iPod in, and tried to install the new iPod Touch software update. I got the error message that the installation had failed, and iTunes automatically ejected my iPod, leaving it in the "connect to iTunes" screen, in which it has been stuck ever since (about 9 days now). I have uninstalled and re-installed iTunes, have rebooted my computer numerous times, I have tried various holdings of the power button and home button as recommended on several help forums, etc. to no avail. I am using a Windows 7 (64-bit) system on a brand new HP Pavilion dm4 laptop with plenty of space and the newest version of iTunes installed. My iPod Touch (3G) is not being recognized by iTunes or by my laptop. I would like to, if possible, restore my iPod to original factory settings so that it can be authorized on my new laptop and will sync approrpiately. Any help anyone can provide will be immensely appreciated. Thank you.
    Also, the iTunes is the version for a 64-bit Windows OS.

    - First I would remove and reinstall all the Apple software using the following and then restoring the ipOd.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    - Next see if manually placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Next try DFU mode:
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - Next try another computer/cable to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.
    - If the other computer works and yours does not see:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
