Keep Touch From Reformatting Without Passcode?

We have restrictions on our iPod Touch but it is very easy to get around by just reformatting the Touch. Is there a way to keep the iPod Touch from being able to reformat without typing in the passcode? If the passcode is typed in, no big deal, but if it is not typed in, we don't want it to be reformatted.
Thanks for any help!
+ iPod Touch 2nd Generation
+ Windows 7 x64
+ iTunes 10.6.3

That is a good point. I wasn't really thinking that but there would be a lot of bricked iPods. Thanks for the input.
And I guess I'm not the smartest person out there because I cannot figure out how to give you credit for this... Found It.

You can send the back up assistant application to your device; however, you will need to go through your device to purchase it. For more information check here - -> http://tinyurl.com/3yxrxj4

How can i restore my ipod touch 4g (?) without passcode or itunes

Hi and thank you for helping as this is urgent.
I forgot my passcode for my iPod, and guessed it to many times so it got disabled.
The problem is I don't have iTunes and can't get it on my laptop, but need to restore my device. Right now on the screen it has a photo of a USB cord, an arrow, and the iTunes symbol. So, how can I restore my iPod touch without my passcode or iTunes?
Thank you SO much.

Right now you can't without a computer. Once you get to a computer you can restore it using DFU mode.

How to keep Touch from getting mail each time Mail is opened?

Hello,
Is there a way to open Mail on an iTouch without it automatically downloading whatever is on the mail server?
In my Mac computer's Mail application, there has always been an option how often, or not, to download mail from the server, but I can't find any similar option within the Touch.
I would like to open Mail on the Touch simply to send an email, without it automatically downloading whatever is on my mail server.
Thank you,
Neil

Nope.
If you launch Mail, you get mail.
You can only stop if from loading if your DON'T launch Mail.
You can also decide how much to have it load, and how far back.
The other option is to turn off Wifi before you launch Mail.

How to put one song on ipod touch from mac without syncing all files

I have been trying since I got my ipod touch in 2012 to put just one or two songs onto my ipod without syncing all the music on my mac coumputer. Every time I plug my ipod into my computer, and try to put one song to my ipod, it syncs every music file that is on my computer to my ipod. Please help.Thanks!!!

Well, you could turn on the sidebar... but rather, just connect your iPod and click on it. You'll be taken to the iPod screen, with "Summary", "Apps", "Music", etc. along the top. On the Summary page somewhere, you should find a checkbox that says "Manually Manage Music and Video".
(Pretty much) all the features from iTunes 10 are still present in iTunes 11. All iTunes 11 got was a new interface.

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new itunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted when i sync it to my new account?

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new i tunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted whin i sync it to itunes after purchasing new music?

I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
What is the way to actually contact Apple?
I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . .

I just bought a used i pod touch from work but the screen says Ipod is disabled, how do I clear that to get back and eneter in the passcode?

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.

Yes. If it was signed out from iCloud, it will disappear from the Devices list in Find my iPhone.

How can I keep photos on iPod Touch from looking like color negatives?

How can I keep photos on iPod Touch from looking like color negatives?

You don't have to keep your photos in iPhoto to sync to your iPod according to Apple's website which states you can sync from folders in other locations:
"Syncing Photos from a Mac
To sync photos from iPhoto or a folder on your Mac:
1. Connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes.
2. Select your iPod in the DEVICES section of the iTunes Source list.
3. In the main iTunes browser window, select the Photos tab.
4. Select the checkbox labeled "Sync photos from" and then choose either iPhoto, Aperture, Choose Folder, or Pictures, from the menu.
* If you choose iPhoto, select "All photos and albums" to copy all of your photos in iPhoto, or "Selected albums only" and select individual rolls or albums you want to include.
* If you choose Choose Folder, navigate to and select the folder of photos you want, then click Choose. Select "All photos" to copy all photos in the folder, or choose "Selected folders" to sync particular subfolders.
* If you choose Pictures, choose "All photos" to copy all photos in the folder, or choose "Selected folders" to sync particular subfolders.
5. If you want iTunes to also include the full-resolution versions of your photos, select the "Include full-resolution photos" checkbox. To access full-size photo files, be sure to enable your iPod for disk use.)
6. Once you have decided which photos you'd like to sync, click Apply."
Hope this helps!
