Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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 iPod backup that iTunes makes.

HT4436 I am using IOS 4.1 in Ipod touch. I would like to take my data back using icloud. I am not able to enable icloud in to my ipod touch. please help me for the same.

I am using IOS 4.1 in Ipod touch. I would like to take my data back using icloud. I am not able to enable icloud in to my ipod touch. please help me for the same. Basically I am trying to take back to upgrade my ios to 5 or 6 version.

You can't back up to iCloud until you update to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to back up your iPod on your computer using iTunes. Update iTunes on your computer to the latest version, then connect your iPod to your computer, open iTunes, if iTunes give you a pop-up asking if you want to update your iPod, decline. Then click on the name of your iPod in iTunes, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer any purchased media to your iTunes library. Next, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click on Back Up Now to back up your iPod on your computer.
When it's done backing up, click on Check for Update (or Update) on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings. Allow your iPod to update, and leave it connected to your computer. At the end, it will restart and give you the option to restore to the iTunes backup you made earlier. Choose this option to restore your backup and sync your apps and other iTuens media to your phone.
This process is outlined in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972, under "If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you normally sync".

I am battling to get my Album Artwork updated in my Ipod Touch - please help?

Just a guess here, but it sounds like iTunes is under the impression that some of the song files it is managing are located on a removable drive. Do all of your songs play from iTunes? That might be hard to know if you have thousands of songs, but if a song was imported into iTunes, but the file was deleted afterward (like if you used removable media), you might get a warning like that, and the song wouldn't play in iTunes. Just a thought.

I am locked out of my ipod touch help

Hey guys i need help i am locked out of my ipod and i cant remeber my password can you please help me

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

I am locked out of my iPod and it says i cannot restore or back up due to me needing to unlock it and obviously i don't have my password. Please help, how do i unlock it?

iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected 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)

Help!!! I'm locked out and My Ipod touch will NOT go into recovery mode no matter what I do...I haven't read this problem anywhere!

My grandson got his little hands on my ipod and has locked me out. I now get the red lable of doom and it tells me I must connect to Itunes to fix it. Problem is I don't have the orginal computer I synced up with. (It crashed about 5 weeks ago). Well I didn't think that would be that big of a deal becuase I have a lot of junk on my Ipod and had been thinking about re-formating it anyway. Well I've tried every method out there and I can not get this thing into recovery. I powered it off. unplugged the usb cord from the Ipod but left it plugged into the computer. Held down the Home button and plugged in the USB cord. the little apple logo comes up. Then after about 10 secs it goes right to the disabled screen.
I also tried it on different computers and tried different usb cords, I've tried also going into DFU mode...nothing it just goes right to the password screen...HELP...I've not read about this problem anywhere.

Locking out internet on ipod touch

My daughter has an Ipod touch she loves. My problem is she is viewing items on the internet thru it which doesnt work for me. Taking the device from her will be a problem. I dont see a way off locking her out of the internet using the restrictions with passcode. Are there any other solutions? I see I am not alone as there is a lot of people looking for solutions from Apple. I read someting about a app which offers content filtering.

Please read Restrictions (Safari) on page 106.
There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site. If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

Several issues with iPod touch. please help!

Ok. So i have several issues going on with my iPod touch. i got it for Christmas in 2010, i have recently updated it. after the update these issues have happened.
1. Screen won't rotate. Photos won't rotate. The screen won't rotate for horizontal keyboard use. Even for some apps that you have to rotate the screen, it just wont rotate. i have tried everything! i have read other discussions about this issue and they said there is a lock with an arrow around it in the top right corner, in my ipod there is not.
2. After i updated my iPod i noticed about 20 of my songs went missing! they are no where to be found on my iPod AND my iTunes! I purchased all of those 20 songs and am kind of mad they randomly disappeared. i have looked in every place a song could be and they are not there.
3. I have recently downloaded some apps and wheni went to try them, they would almost load and then crash and go back to the home screen. a bunch of my apps do that now. i have tried restarting my iPod and i have tried to open the apps like a million times and everytime they crash and goes to the home screen of my iPod. they are all free apps. some of the apps are: Impossible Test: summer, angry birds, angry birds: rio, angry birds: seasons. some of them i have been able to play a couple times, then they randomly stared crashing.
someone please help me with these problems! thank you!

For #1:
- Have you restored the iPod from backup?
- Have your restored the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod?
If restoring from backup does not solve a problem then your likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
For #2:
If you are in the USA and using the latest iTunes then you can redownload music via the iCloud beta. See:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise you can contact iTunes and they MAY allow a redownload. See:
Apple - Support - iTunes

Thank you for your time!

You need to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
SInce it is not your syncing computer you can only restore to factoy defaults/new iPod. It will be like it was when you originlly purchased the iPod.
If you had a backup you could restore from that backup. The backup is located here. You may have to turn on showw hidden files.
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
You can redown stuff here:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
The music only applies to the USA for now.

Just got my brand new ipod touch please help

I just go my 3rd generation ipod touch and when I try to turn it on there is a usb and a itunes cd with a music note on it please help.

Welcome to the discussions.
It sounds like [this is the screen|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275] you are seeing. I think that will help guide you through what to do.

I can't find the Apps button in my ipod touch, please help.

I can't find the Apps button in my ipod touch.
I already downloaded some applications in itunes, hoping to sync it to my ipod touch. However, there is no button for Apps in my ipod touch.
And in the partitions of my ipod touch memory (music, photos, videos), there is no space for Applications.
Please help, thanks!

Oh this is quite easy to solve!
1) First connect iPod to computer
2) Launch iTunes
3) On the left hand side of iTunes, under Library, there is an Apps header?
4) When you click on that, you should see your downloaded apps?
5) A little lower down, you'll see your iPod under Devices, drag apps over your iPod's list (over the music, photos, videos area as you mentioned), you'll that that area is highlighted, release left mouse button to drop them apps!
6) Copying ensues ...
7) Check iPod
8) Back at iTunes, click on your iPod's name, look at the right side, you'll see a summary page right?
9) At the top of that page, one of the menu item is Apps, click on that and you'll see a replica of sorts of your iPod, unchecking apps (or selecting by checking) and then hitting Apply button below, will apply the changes you made onto your iPod.
10) You can also arrange your iPod from there if you like.
That was a lot of steps, but its pretty simple to perform, and the last few wasn't really neccessary, it does look more impressive to write a long list of steps however.

Itunes cant read my ipod touch, please help!

I've had this problem a LOOT and i looked into it on apple support, tried calling, i even took it into the store and they couldn't help me any more than resetting my firmware to factory settings. I've even reset it myself a few times and this is an ipod touch 4th gen IOS 6. Please help due to the fact that it's tiring to keep resetting to factory settings! i plugged it in to make a backup and now i can't because of this. I have lots of music and movies so Pleaaase help.

If the Apple Mobile Device driver is not the problem or you need more help see:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
If you come back with the wording of the error mesage we can probably provide more specific recommendations.

Various problems with my ipod touch please help

Hi,
I need help yesterday when i plugged my ipod in to update my podcasts like i do every morning I kept getting an error message that i can't remember and then when it was finished syncing there was no content on it. then i started getting the error message that my account had been disabled due to security purposes??? anyway i went to work (without my ipod...tourture!) and when i got back i tried to sync it again only this time my ipod was giving me the message that it couldn't be synced because there was not enough space but i my ipod is a 32 gb and when i clicked on the ipod screen the bar at the bottom had my usual adudio and video content (the space that it uses) but then the rest of the bar was yello (other content?) and I don't know what it is and its taking all the space up on the ipod. so i tried restoring it but the same thing would keep happening. so i uninstalled itunes piece by piece (to my dismay i lost everything in my library and it won't open now. I went to teh apple website to try and download the itunes but it kept telling "now that you've downloaded itunes lets get started" but nothing had actually downloaded! i finally got the 32 bit version to install but now when i try to open itunes it won't and gives me the error message that "itunes can't be opened because it was created by a new version". i have lost everything and now i can't even use my ipod. i paid 3 or 4 hundred dollars for this about two years ago not to mention all the content i have already purchased and its all lost and I don't have any warranty. Can anyone help????
