Lost my ipod mode was activated and I don't know the password

So I decided today to reset my ipod so I'd have 8 GB again. So I did and I enabled Lost my ipod and after when I was done it went into lost my ipod and I don't know the password. My computer won't allow me to restore it because it doesn't recognize it. Please help me.

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

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.

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HT2623 how do i delete icloud account on my ipad when my apple ID is non active email and i don't know the password and can't reset password without active email

    how do i delete icloud account on my ipad when my apple ID is non active email and i don't know the password and can't reset password without active email

    If the iCloud account you are trying to delete is old ID that was later updated to change it to your current ID, you can go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now, if desired, you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • I recently changed my password to my apple id and was able to log into everything fine except the icloud on my ipad.  It reverted back to an old apple id and I don't know the password.  I have tried all the suggestions and no luck.

    You didn't say what you've tried, but f the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How so i active my iPad which has an Apple ID on there and I don't know the password to it?

    I really need help on my iPad. I can not active it as it say I'm disabled from logging in because it is already singed into my Apple ID which I don't know the password to. I get apple to send me an email but I don't get the emails. I really need help!!!!:(
    Please reply asap

    Contact Apple here for help with your ID. If you aren't getting the emails. If there is a phone number available for your country, try calling that number and ask for account security.

  • I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which not longer exists and I don't know the password.  HOw can I get them authorized to my new email address and password?

    I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which no longer exists and I don't remember the password.  How can I get these tunes transferred to my new email address and password?

    In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
    I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
    In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How do I get rid of an old icloud account that was hacked and i don't have the password for?

    I was hacked awhile back and had to change to a new email. i was able to change my itunes account over but my icloud did not come over to the new account.
    I can not delete or change the old icloud account because I don't have the password for it.  what can i do to fix this?

    Use the Settings app to sign out of the old ID and sign in with the new one.
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > tap on the Apple ID > Sign Out > then sign in with the correct Apple ID.
    Not that all apps purchased or downloaded with the old Apple ID will require the old ID and password in order to be updated. To avoid this delete all apps associated with the old ID and download them again with the new ID. Be aware that you will most likely lose data associated with deleted apps and you will have to pay again for any apps that have a fee.

  • New PC asks for authorization and I don't know the password

    I purchase a new PC for my wife and transferred the itunes library via an external drive.   I then auhorized the new computer on her account (she has about 2,300 songs).  When I tried to sync her ipod, it came back and said that 221 songs would be deleted from her ipod unless she authorized her account.   The authorization window came up and the Apple ID it prestored was an email account she had years ago that she no longer has.  My sense is that her ipod contains songs from 2 different itunes accounts.  She does not know the password of this old account.  I get prompted for "did you forget the password" and it says it is sending the password to the email address for the apple id.  Problem is that email address does not exist anymore so I am stuck.
    The best I can tell is that her old PC had both Apple IDs authorized and she has had that PC for years so her ipod and iphone has worked fine.  Any idea how to get into the old Apple ID if we don't have the password.  The other choice I see is to lose the 221 songs.
    Thanks

    Here's what you need to do. First plug the iPad mini into your computer. When you get the message about iTunes not being able to access the iPad because it's password protected, press and hold the power button and home button at the same time. Hold these buttons down all the way through the reboot until the apple goes away. After that you should a graphic of a USB cable and the iTunes symbol. When you see that release the buttons. Close out of the error message in iTunes. You should now be able to restore and update your iPad mini and set it up as a new device, or even restore it from your backup if you have one.

  • I have recently bought an iMac but if I want to boot from disc it gives me a Lock screen and I don't know the password

    I Bought recently an iMac A1311 when i got it the hdd was broken... so i replaced it with a new one but now if i boot my mac up ik gives me a blinking question mark so I tried command -s on the startup but then it gives me a Lock and i dont know the password neither the reseller

    You have a firmware password reset.
    The iMac A1311 is (if I'm interpreting info correctly) an early 2009 model.   So this should work:
    Shut down the computer and remove all the RAM.
    Try booting (you won't be able to even get to the point you were at before, without RAM)
    Reinstall the RAM
    Turn on the computer and hold down the command-option-p-r key combination before the startup chime sounds.  Continue to hold them until the computer restarts on its own a second time, then release.
    The computer should now boot normally.
    If that doesn't work...then you'll need a genius bar appointment, for which you will need proof f ownership of your iMac.

  • HT5509 My iPod is stuck in guided access mode and I don't know the password???

  • TS1441 How can I restore an iPod touch if the home button is broken and I don't know the password?

    I just bought my iPod Touch (4th Generation 8GB) from my friend and the home button doesn't work. Then, my parents took it away for about 6 months and I just got it back and I forgot my password. Then, I tried to get in too many times and now it says "iPod Disabled Connect to iTunes". Then, when I connect it to iTunes, it says for my to put in my password so it can connect. I've been trying to get back in but haven't found a way to restore it. HELP!!!!!
    P.S. It's jailbroken, but the damage isn't due to Cydia. Also, I can't put it into DFU mode since the home button is broken.

    Actually, I can give it to someone who fixes jailbroken iPod touch home buttons, but I don't want to pay anything. Also, if you just have something to say to me that will kill me, don't say it at all dude.

  • I need help my Ipod touch is locked and I don't have the password?

    Connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery mode if necessary to allow a restore.

  • Acessibilty mode enabled by a toddler, don't know the password

  • I have a new email address and my old email keeps coming up on icloud when trying to update apps and i don't know the password or security questions for the old email. I can sign in with my apple id which is tied to another email but not itunes how to fix

    I have an apple id and it has my current email attached to it. however when i go to update apps it's asking for the password for an old email. I no longer have the old email and can't use it. when I go to icloud on my ipad it asks for the password for old email. it doesn't allow me to change the old email to current. when i go to reset it i can't remember the password or security questions for the old email so it doesn't let me go any further. How do I fix this? Do i need to call apple support?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • I recently bought a new computer and downloaded itunes but when i try to sync it, someone else's apple i.d. shows up and i don't know the password.  I try to authorize my computer but it still won't let me

    I recently bought a new computer and downloaded itunes onto it.  When i sync my ipod it prompts me to authorize my computer
    with the purchases that i've made, but when i try to do so, my apple i.d. is not what shows up and so my ipod won't sync any of my songs or apps.  I have no idea who's username i'm seeing and i've never seen it before.  That's the only thing that is stopping my ipod to sync, a password that isn't mine!! I am beyond frustrated and don't know what else to do, if someone can please help me i would be so appreciative you have no idea.  Thank you so much

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:
