Itouch won't sync with computer because the itouch is locked?

Every time I try to sync my itouch with my computer, I itunes says it cannot sync because the itouch is locked. However, I can't put my password into the itouch because every time I turn it on, there is a picture of the syncing cord and the itunes icon.
Does anyone know what to do about this?
Thanks!!

The normal way to fix this is to put your iPod into a recovery mode. Unplug it from iTunes, and hold the Sleep/Wake button until you see the red slider and can turn it off.
Open up iTunes.
Press and hold the Home button as you plug the iPod back into your computer. Keep holding the Home button down until iTunes gives you a "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode". Follow the instructions and restore the iPod.

  • Ipod touch (5th gen) won't sync with computer

    I had to close my itunes on my computer because it was not responding and now my ipod won't sync with my itunes anymore.  It charges normally, but my computer reads the ipod now as a camera instead of an ipod.

    Try:
    - Reboot the computer
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • IPhone won't sync with computer, get error (-50) message. Also getting requests to sync when I open iTunes. I have 2 iTunes id's apparently. Can I fix this?

    I have an iPhone 4S,7.1.1,  and my MacBook Pro is still running 10.6.8, waiting to update to Mavericks as soon as I have some down time. My phone won't sync with my computer. I am getting an error message (-50). ITunes is also asking me if I want to sync my Podcasts, etc. with my computer when I first open it. I am assuming part of the issue is that I have 2 Apple ID's. One for my computer (this one), and another for my phone and iPad. Can I merge these identities? It this my problem or is there an incompatability between 10.6.8 and the new 7.1.1 OS on my phone?

    Hey Janice Lucoff,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues backing up your iPhone 4s in iTunes, which is causing issues finishing the sync of your device. The following resource should help resolve your issue, as it refers to the exact error message you described:

  • My ipad 2 has deleted all mail, and is completely blank, can't send or receive, and won't sync with computer?

    The mail on my ipad2 is completely wiped out, totally blank, it won't sync with the computer, nor will it send and receive, everything else is running fine and syncing ok, can anyone help? The settings are all ok but just when you click on mail it comes up as a blank page......very bewildered, thanks.

    Since writing this yesterday, I have found that other iPhone owners have had the same problem in my immediate area. AT&T claims there was a problem the same day with the local cell tower. Despite that, AT&T customer service phone reps keep telling me that I need a new phone. I don't believe one rep knows what the other is doing.
    So as a word of advice, don't go out and buy a new phone until you are absolutely sure. My iPhone is working fine.

    My iPad can't sync with iTunes because apparently my iTunes doesn't recognise my apps! I've had the iPad for 9 months and have been syncing regularly so am not sure why it's decided there's a problem.

  • My iPhone Won't Sync with computer. It used to; but it doesn't now. I don't have iCloud. When I try to sync I get a message that reads: iTunes could not back up the iPhone "owner's name appears here iPhone" because the backup could not be saved on compute

    Why won't my iPhone sync with my computer? When I hook the phone up to iTunes I get a message that reads: iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer. This never happened before.

  • Outlook 2010 won't sync with iCloud on the web

    Outlook 2010 Calendar syncs with the iCloud Calendar in Outlook. Both are visible in Outlook, both are ticked. Calendar Sync is set up in iCloud Control Panel 2 and on settings on my iPhone & iPad. However, appointments don’t show in iPhone, iPad or iCloud on the web.

    Here's what I've discovered: Outlook has two "versions," one for iCloud and one that is an Outlook data file ("My calendar"). You can check a box in Outlook to enable either of them (go to the Home tab and expand the navigation pane). The iPad does not sync with the Outlook data file. Anything entered there has to be manually copied to the iCloud version of Outlook in order to sync with iPad. So, to sync with iPad you have to uncheck "My calendar" in Outlook and then check "iCloud" and use that version of Outlook. But when I use the iCloud version, Outlook will not accept appointments sent to me by clients. It also screws up my communication with clients in other ways. So using the iCloud version of Outlook does not work for me.
    I've discovered a third-party software that seems to solve this issue: Code Two Sync for iPad. You can Google it for reviews, the download link, etc. I downloaded and installed it and it immediately copied (synced?) all the appointments in the Outlook data file version of Outlook ("My calendar") to the iCloud version and synced them with my iPad. There were a bunch of duplicates, but I think there's some way to fix that. However...it also crashed Outlook on my computer (I have an older computer that is having issues). So I needed to uninstall it. I repeat, this is because my computer has been having other issues, I don't think it is the software's fault. I may try it again when I have more time to troubleshoot. Anyway, you might try this software and see if it works for you.

  • IPhone won't sync with computer.

    Hello!
    I've had my 3GS since launch and haven't experienced any problems with it yet. A few days ago, out of nowhere, my iPhone stopped syncing with my computer. When I plug the USB into the iPhone it rings, and shows that it's charging, but it doesn't sync in iTunes and iPhoto doesn't auto start like it used to.
    I updated iTunes and OSX, but I still can't get my device to recognize!
    Anyone have any idea what's going on?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If set to launch automatically when any digital camera is connected, iPhoto will launch automatically when the iPhone is connected only if there are photos and/or video available in the iPhone's camera roll.
    Does iPhoto recognize your iPhone when manually launching iPhoto after your iPhone is connected?
    Try downloading and re-installing the current iTunes version. No need to uninstall iTunes first before doing so.
