Locked iPod, can't get to password screen

I just got a used iPod touch and have the passcode. When I turn on the iPod, though, I have no way to put in the passcode, the screen just says "iPod is disabled, connect to iTunes". I have tried but I don't think iTunes is recognizing the device; please be patient with me as I've never owned an Apple product before and I'm quite technologically challenged. Please help?

IIIaass,
Thanks for the advice. I followed the instructions, but when I got to step 4, when it should show the connect to iTunes icons, it just turned on and again gave me the same screen, that said, "iPod is disabled, connect to iTunes". I also at the same time got a message from iTunes that said, "iTunes could not connect to the iPod because it is locked with a passcode". Could you tell me what to do next? Thanks again.

  • Updated today and am stuck at itunes cable screen. phone is locked down, can't get past this screen.

    I updated iTunes today, my phone was connected to my Windows computer and I got a screen telling me iTunes didn't update.
    I downloaded iTunes again, and I restarted my computer and connected phone to it, iTunes doesn't come up nor does it see my phone. Should I reset my phone?

    Hello ellenfromelpaso,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I see that your iPhone is displaying a connect to iTunes screen, and it is not being recognized by iTunes on your PC.  If this is the case, then I'd like you to please follow the first article below for the issue where your iPhone is not being recognized.  Once that issue is resolved, you may then proceed with restoring your iPhone.

    Have you tried resetting the device?
    Hold down the home and lock buttons until you see an Apple Logo, then release the buttons.
    If that doesn't work, you should check to see if you have a backup because you may have to restore your device.

  • My iPhone gone mad can't turn off voice control which turned on by itself now can't access phone as can't get past my screen lock! Also it keeps calling random people in my contacts help please

    iPhone 4 gone mad voice control taken over phone, can't get past my screen lock it won't  respond at all, keeps dialling random people won't do anything at all!!! Even when go on voice control screen and hold power off and home screen down nothing No response. Help please? My mother very sick in hospital and need my mobile!!

    Have you tried to power off and on?  If that doesn't work and the reset didn't work, have you tried connecting to iTunes to see if it is recognized?
    If none of this works you probably need to visit an Apple genius bar and have it checked out by the techs.

    Hello Hoppayoppa
    You would need to have the owner of that iCloud account to turn off. It can be done without them there. Check out the article below for more information. After that is done, you can put the correct backup on your iPhone.

  • HT201407 Can not get passed the screen where it asks me for Apple ID and password

    Dear Apple,
         My father and I recently switched our phones because he needed a better phone for business. I now restored the phone and i can not get passed the screen where i need his Apple ID and Passcode. The problem with this is that it would be easy if i knew the Apple ID and password, but my father does not remember any sort of info about his Apple ID or password! Please help me ASAP! Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day for me.
    Sincerely, Paresh
    <Personal Information Removed by Host>

    Do not post your personal information on a public thread - not a good idea.
    If your father does not remember his Apple ID that he set up iCloud and Find My iPhone with, have him go to: FORGOT APPLE ID to retrieve the Apple ID.
    Then follow the prompts to reset the password.
    If he doesn't remember the answers to the Security Questions, contact Apple Support to have them reset:
    ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
    Once you know the Apple ID and the password, you will be able to proceed.
    Cheers,

  • Constant minimization and can't get the full screen --Intel Imac 17"

    I am obiviously a newbie. the windows constantly minimize with no apparent cause. How can I stop this and get some work done? Is it the mighty mouse, expose? I have tried them all
    The display only shows on 3/4 of the screen--how can I get a full screen view.

    Hi San Saba Kid,
    When you say minimize, are describing something like on a PC or when it minimizes do you see the page in dock?
    If you look at the lower right hand corner of an open window, you'll see a tirangular shape, you can click on this triangle and drag the window to a new size. You can fill up your entire screen by positioning your window and then dragging the corner to size it.
    I think this is what you meant... Rick
    BTW - the red dot closes - the yellow minimizes - the green optimizes the window so no horizontal scrolling is needed

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    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.

    I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device?

    First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:
    Mac:  iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers
    PC:  iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
    Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
