Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
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.

hello
i need some help.
well you see up above where i have 2 iphone 2 different names for the phones and 2 different accounts with 1 itunes on widows 7.
my problem is when i update or sync my phone it grabs all her info and apps ect. and vice versa when she does it to. is there any way that i can stop this from happing again?
1 more thing this happens just on her phone when she goes to download a app for some reason my email is on her phone, we have to sign out from her phone and sign back in and put her email in any thoughts on this?By far the simplest way to do this is create separate accounts on the computer for each person. That way, you each log into your own separate account, sync your own device(s) to your own contacts/calendars/apps/music and so forth.

How does one talk to a person at Adobe Support?
You are right: there is no option to chat or phone contact, possibly because your version is no longer supported.
Try "cheating" and start the contact dialog with Creative Cloud; you will end up at http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?step=CCSN_downloading-installing-setting-up_downloadin g-installing_stillNeedHelp which will give you chat and phone options. -
Can a single shuffle sync with two different iTunes accounts?
Here's the deal: My son has used my iTunes account for years (I have an iPod classic and he uses a shuffle). He has used his own money to buy quite a lot of music. He keeps a playlist and that is what he syncs to. (BTW, I have a PC using Windows 7, if that matters.)
But he is leaving for college soon and thinks it would be better if he just got his own iTunes account. (BTW, he just got a new 15" Mac Book Pro) If he syncs with a new separate account does he lose all the songs he has now? Can he sync with both accounts? Is there any solution?There are two things here. One is your iTunes library. The other is your iTunes Store account (your Apple ID).
iPods are synced to an iTunes library, not to an iTunes Store account.
However, your computer is authorized for an iTunes Store account. One iTunes Store account can have up to FIVE computers authorized to use it. And one computer can be authorized to use multiple iTunes Store accounts.
So, this is what you can do. On his MacBook Pro, run iTunes and log in using YOUR iTunes Store account (Apple ID). From the menu bar, under Store, select to Authorize This Computer. His MacBook Pro is now one of the (up to) FIVE computers you can have authorized to use your iTunes account.
From the main iTunes Store screen, find the Purchased link over to the right, under QUICK LINKS. On the Purchased screen, click on Music and download all the songs that are "his" songs to his MacBook Pro's iTunes library.
NOTE: Alternately, you can use something like a USB flash drive (or external drive) to transfer all of his song files from your computer to his MacBook Pro, instead of re-downloading from the iTunes Store.
He can now create and log in to his own iTunes Store account on this MacBook Pro. He can authorized it to use his iTunes Store account, so now, his MacBook Pro is authorized for your iTunes Store account AND his account. However, if he logs into his iTunes Store account, he is using his own account to make future purchases. But the old purchased songs (from your account) are still there and should still play.
NOTE: If all of his iTunes Store purchases (using your account) are songs (not videos) and fairly recent, the songs do not have any DRM (copy protection), so it may not matter if his MacBook Pro is authorized for your iTunes Store account or not. Older songs purchases from the iTunes Store do have DRM. You can tell by doing a Get Info on a song and looking at Kind, or by adding the Kind column to an iTunes song listing. If it says Purchased AAC audio file, there is no DRM. If it says Protected AAC audio file, it has DRM. Purchased video content has DRM, but free content (such as video podcasts and iTunes U) does not.
Content with DRM requires authorization (of the computer). But for content without DRM, authorization should not matter. -
I just bought an iPhone 5, and tried to sync it to my iTunes account but when connected it says: “...cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 or later.” However when I try to get iTunes to update it says: “This version of iTunes (10.6.3) is the current version.” Can anyone help?

Thanks for your reply. My Mac is running 10.5.8: it's 4 years old. When I try to update the OS software, I'm told there are none available.
Be careful - there's a difference between update and upgrade. Your machine is saying there are no updates available, meaning no later versions of OS X 10.5 (Leopard). However, you can very likely upgrade - at least to OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and possibly then to OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion).
Updates are free, but upgrades cost a bit. That's the dirference. -
i just went to buy an album on itunes but because ive never purchased anything on this computer its asking for the answers to my security question, but i can remeber them? what do i do!?
Click here for information. If the option to have the answers emailed to you isn't available or doesn't work(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article.
Without a rescue email address, you can't reset them yourself. Nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

I had downloaded a number of songs on my old iphone 4, but it died before i had a chance to sync with my comp. now i have a new iphone and cant down load any of the songs i once had and have paid for. any ideas??
If you live in the US launch the iTunes store, then tap Purchases, then the "not on this phone" tab. If you don't live in the US you will have to buy them again, unless the iTunes Store support staff takes pity on you when you email them with a request for help.
BTW, how many songs can you download between daily syncs? -

i have two ipods that are synced to my previous itunes account that was on my macbook before the hard drive crashed. i can't sync with the new itunes on the new hard drive - help!
Why did you start a new account?
Copy everything from your backup copy of your computer to your new hard drive.
Ipod will sync to one itunes library at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content from the ipod. -

just got 4s and synced my music and only about half went to my phone. the rest wont sync. says unknown error. help!
Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync. -
When using iCloud: If I have purchased a CD at a shop, and I sync it to my iTunes account on my laptop, will it automatically appear on my iPod Touch, or will I have to connect it to my laptop with a cable?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have to connect the iPod to the PC and sync it to get the songs in the device. You will only get your music in your iPod automatically if you have purchased your songs in the iTunes Store and Automatic Downloads are enabled in your iPod -
Want to sync iphone to my itunes account that I use with my ipod
I have recently purchased an iphone 4S and when i switched it on for the first time it came up with a set-up screen. One of the options was to set it up as a new iphone (new apple ID and password) or to restore from an itunes back-up. I would like to sync it to my itunes account that I use with my ipod but my laptop is being repaired. Which option should I choose? - Can I set it up as new iphone (ie new apple ID) and then sync it to my itunes account later or do I need to wait and connect it to my laptop? It wont let me do anything with the phone until I have finished the set-up..
Thanks!Do not set it up with a new Apple ID. You can set up as a new phone but with your old Apple ID. Purchases are specific to an Apple ID.

Can my husband and I share purchases on itunes, even if we have different Apple ID's? Can we sync each other's devices to our itunes accounts? Before we had it so that, he had the itunes account and synced my iphone to it as a named device, but the problem was, when I used to send imessages, it looked like it was from my husband and not me!
You can set up Messages and Facetime separate from your husband and still use the same iTunes to sync things like music, movies, Apps, etc.
To do this though, you need to get your own Apple ID. You then use your Apple ID to set up Messages and Facetime under your account. This way your Messages and Facetime calls will come from your account and your husbands from his.
And you will still be able to sync the devises on the same iTunes account. -
I have just purchased a new macbook and need to sync my iphone with itunes, i understand that you can only sync your phone with one itunes account. I do not want to wipe my iphone when syncing with this new itunes account. Any advice welcome
1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
