Is there a way to unlock an iPod Touch WITHOUT having to restore?

Hey there.  My little nephew put a passcode on his iPod Touch and forgot it.  Is there anyway I can unlock it without having to restore the iPod as I don't have the computer it is backed up on?  I'd like to try to avoid going into the Apple store as we aren't close to one right now.  Thank you!!

If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)

  • HT1414 is there another way i can fix this problem without having to restore my phone?

    my wifi settings is faded out so i cannot turn the wifi on. i followed the steps that this website said to do so it could get fixed but it didn't work.  then thet said i would have to restore my phone and i can't do that. is there another way i can fix this problem without having to restore my phone?

    No.
    A restore might not even fix it; a fair amount of the time, when the Wi-Fi is grayed out it is a hardware issue.

  • Is there any way to find my iPod touch without Find My iPhone?!

    I lost my iPod touch at a fair and coincidentally, trying to clear storage on it, earlier that day I uninstalled Find My iPhone. Is there any way I can track/find it? Useful answers are most appreciated. May God Bless.

    No. You have to do it on the device.
    However, you do not need any app on the iPod. All yu needed to do was to go to Settings>iClould and turn on FIndMyiPod.If wifi is on and connect go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. You can also wipe it and have it play a sound. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - Apple will do nothing

  • My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll?

    My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years  and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll, the applications can be redownloaded and she had no music. Is there any known bug about ipods locking on their own because no one seemed to have tried to bypass the 4 digit code and it is locked for 26 million minutes.So thank you if anyone has any information or help for us.

    Your friend may have placed the ipod next to an object that repeatedly pressed the screen.  Under certain circumstances this can lead to what appears to the iTouch to be failed attempts to access the system.  After repeated failed attempts, the Touch increases the waiting time required for the password and may ultimately lock in the way you describe.
    It's been a while since this was posted, but this might be informative to someone else who finds themself in a similar predicament.

  • Is there a way to find my ipod touch even though I didn't register it on iclound

    is there a way to locate my ipod touch even thought I didn't register it on icloud

    Only the old fashioned way

    No app on the iPod is required.                            
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

    Sorry Glen, but there is not. And you don't have to upgrade to 10.6 (Snow Leopard).  You need at a minimum of 10.5.8 (Leopard).

    Periodically delete all apps from the recently-used bar (double clickHome button) and power off and then back on the iPod. With iOS 5, the iPod uses more memory (do not confuse with storage) and periodically you have to reclaim memory for use.
