Disabled
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.

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 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

    please help me what do i do?

    You have to restore the iPod, no ifs, ands, or buts...
    After iOS is installed you will be asked if you what to set it up as a new iPod or if you want to restore from a backup.
    If you have a good backup you can restore that and you're good to go.
    If you don't have a good backup, then you end up with a "clean" iPod....

    What does "it will not let me purchase it" mean exactly? Are you getting an error message?

    FCPX crashed and I reported it here. Tom Wolsky suggested I trash prefs, perform an fsck, reboot and redownload FCPX from the App store. The reboot was okay but Safari will not let me access the App Store to redownload FCP. I'm running 10.6.8 but the App Store icon is grayed out. I get a "Safari doesn't recognize addresses starting with macappstore."
    How do I get to the App Store to get FCPX back? I'm using the Trial version now.

    How are you linking to the App Store from Safari? From this page?

  • HT201436 I am trying to set up my voicemail but it will not let me use the letters, only the number come up

    I am trying to set up my voicemail but it will not let me use the letters..only numbers

    I don't understand what you are setting up using numbers - or letters.  If it's a passcode, then you can translate the letters into numbers as you would on a telephone keyboard - for example, an "S" would be a 7.
    But that may not matter, as the process for setting up voicemail is strongly tied to your cellular carrier.  If the above doesn't answer your issue, contact your cellular carrier for setup assistance.

  • I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 and I need to update my iMovie, but it will not let me because I need version 10.7.4 or later. I tried downloading this version but it would not let me because I need 10.7. My question is how do I download this version?

    Lion should still be available if you call the online Apple Store. If the Apple Store still has it, they will ask for your Apple ID and credit card number and will then send you a code which you can redeem in the Mac App Store. The Lion installer will download and run automatically. 
    Confirm compatibility with your current applications and Lion before you upgrade; in particular you will not be able to run any appications that were written only for PowerPC Macs.

  • I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos?

    I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos? I have read other questions that say to plug the iPod into the computer and like un-sync it, but I downloaded the new iTunes and it doesnt have a photos tab. Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Please and Thank You, Megan!

    Just what did you do to the computer?

  • I am trying to load my library on the new computer but it will not let me import. the shared library disappears when i shut the original computer off.

    I am trying to load my library on the new computer but it will not let me import. when i shut off the old computer the shared library disappears.

    Yeah... that's exactly the way it is supposed to work.  Sharing the library does not move it anywhere.
    To move the library to the new computer, copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • HT2688 trying to go into windows movie maker to make a photo disc with songs but it will not let me use the songs i bought in i tunes.it says i need to install codec but it has not worked

    i am trying to go into windows movie maker to make a photo disc with songs from my i tunes but it tells me i can not do it because codec is not installed.i have tried to get codec but does not seem to have worked.

    Go into your system profiler and tell us your Machine Identifier that says:
    iMac x,y (give us the x and y values)
    That will tell us whether you are Mavericks compatible or not.
    Also tell us how much RAM you have installed.

  • HT1338 I paused the update of iPhoto.  Now I do not want to update it, but it will not let me stop the update or use iPhoto.  What can I do?

    I paused the update of iphoto.  I now do not want to update it , but I can not use the iphoto because it says I am updating.  What can I do to stop it?

    FInd the original installer discs you have iPhoto on. By the way, your signature makes no sense for the forum you are in, nor the knowledgebase article you posted the question from.
    HT1338 discusses the Mac App Store, not available till mac OS X 10.6.6 or later.
    Mavericks is Mac OS X 10.9 and later.
    Your signature says you have 10.2.x.
    Lacking further info, we can't give you concrete information.  Where did you get iPhoto from?  The App Store or an installer CD of iLife, or the installer disc that came with your iMac?
    What operating system do you really have installed?
    Did you backup your data before attempting to install?  If not, that was very bad judgement on your call, as anything can fail at anytime once you begin an install.
