My daughter locked her ipod how do i disable it

my daughter locked her ipod touch how do i restore it we cant remember password

If you can't remember the Passcode, you need to restore the device from the computer it was last synced with by placing the device in recovery mode > > iOS: Unable to update or restore
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.

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

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    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 backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    your going to have to put the ipod into recovery mode and restore the device. Unfortunatly you will lose all the info on the device after the restore but if you have a backup for the device in itunes you will be able to get all the info back if no backup is on itunes all info will be lost you can find the backups on in itunes under the   edit>
    preferences>devices and check for the backup
    to put the ipod into recovery mode disconnect the ipod from the computer
    power down the ipod
    press and hold the home button than plug the device in and the itunes should give a message that states
    itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode and must first be restored before it can be used
    than click the restore option in the summary page and issue resolved

    If no joy... Try a Restore...

  • My daughter used a password to lock her ipod touch and she can't remember it. Is there a way to reset the password. Thank you for any assistance

    My daughter used a password to lock her ipod touch and she cannot remember it. How do we unlock her ipod. Any assistance is wonderful

    To circumvent an iPod with a forgotten passcode you would need to restore the iPod to factory settings. This will remove the software and data/content from your iPod as well.
    To put your iPod/iPhone  into recovery mode:
    1. Make sure the iPod/iPhone is connected to a computer with iTunes installed on it.
    2. Hold down the sleep/wake button(top button) and the home button at the same time until the iPod/iPhone screen goes black then shows the apple logo( usually 10-15 seconds).
    3. Once the apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the sleep/wake button and keep holding the home button.
    4. The ipod/iphone screen should show an itunes logo and usb cable if you were successful. A dialog box will appear in iTunes that states an iPod/iPhone in recovery mode has been detected if you are successful.
    5. Click ok, then click the Restore button
    After that you should be up and running in no time!
    I hope that this is helpful.

  • So my daughter set a password to lock her ipod and now she can't remember it.  I tried to restore to factory settings but it still wants a password.  I tried 0000 and that doesn't work.  Any ideas what to do to?

    From this Apple support document: iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the headingBlocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
    Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.

  • My daughter dropped her iPod Touch and cracked her screen...do the Apply Stores repair this and for how much?

    My daughter dropped her iPod Touch on cement and shattered the screen.  It still works, but I am afraid it won't for long.  I do not want to attempt a repair myself...does the Apply Store do this type of replacement/repair and for how much?  I spent over $300 on this thing and I'm not buying another one.  Thanks.

    The home owner's policy may so give it a shoot.
    The apple warranty which only covers material defects does not cover abuse which is what Apple will classiy dropping it as.

    My daughter lost her ipod somewhere in the house.  Unfortunately it is offline. My home has WiFi is there a way to some how wake it up so we can find it?

    No. If it is offline then there is no way to find it on the web. The device must respond in order to be located.

  • My daughter charged her ipod touch on my sisters computer. She managed to login to her iTunes account - now it seems my sisters computer is authorised to access playlists and Apps. How do I stop this?

    My daughter charged her ipod touch on my sisters computer. My daughter also accessed iTunes - my fault she knew the password for the account. Now the account information says that 2  computers are authorised to access this account. How can I deauthorise or remove my sisters computer that is now linked?
    Any ideas? When i access Store the only option is to deauthorise the computer I am on now. There is no option to remove the 2nd computer that is my sisters.

    Very simple....go to itunes store,  on the top right click on your account.  It will ask for your password, then show you a screen where it will have your address on top.  Look 1/2 the way down on the right...it says deauthorize all...click that and then just go back in to your computer and reauthorize your own computer...

  • My daughter dropped her Ipod and the screen is shattered....is that covered by the one year service plan?

    My daughter dropped her Ipod touch, and the screen shattered...can anyone tell me if thats covered under the 1st year warrenty? and If not how do i go about getting it repaired?

    User abuse is not covered. They will not replace the screen, but rather the iPod itself, and will do this for $99 (for 8GB model). See here for more details: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
