My daughters ipod touch was stolen yesterday on her bus ride home. she did how ever get it back today but the person tried so many times to get into it that it says "disabled" how can i fix this or do i need to take it into apple

Hello, I would like to know if any one could tell me how to fix my daughters ipod touch or if I need to take it into an apple store. One of the kids on her school bus stole it out of her backpack. My daughter got it back today at school but went to turn it on and the kid that stole it I guess tried to many times to get into so now when you turn it on it says "DISABLED". Can anyone please help!!!!   Thank you, Julie

Wipe it clean and restore it. You should then be able to rename the iPod and set up an account with iTunes. I hope this helps!

  • My iPod touch was stolen yesterday. I know theres pretty much no hope to get back,but is there anyway to retreve my pictures and videos?? ThanksIs there anyway

    My ipod was stolen from a hotel lobby, i know thats its probably never gonna be returned  but! please let me know if there is anyway I can retrieve pictures or videos off my iPod touch that was stolen yesterday. I have priceless memories and did not download them. I'm so mad at my self for leaving it for someone to steal. And never activated the "find my device app" Thank u very much for any advice, wish there were more honest people in this world that would turn it in

    Sorry about your lost Touch, and doubly sorry that you didn't have a chance to activate the "find my device" app.
    The good news is that, presuming you use iTunes to sync your Touch, the songs are still on your HD. You can download the free Yamipod http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/12411/yamipod to get access to your music library. Needless to say, you can also access the library from your backup drive, should you have one.
    If you don't use iTunes...there's not much I can do.
    Post here with your questions or concerns!

    Call Apple Care.   You are still under warranty.  You also have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your iPod with no questions asked. 
    Take FULL advantage of your warranty.  Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired.

  • When I updated to OS 5.0 my old apple id which was not an e-mail address won't work anymore, how can I fix this?

    When I updated to OS 5.0 my old apple id which was not an e-mail address won't work anymore, how can I fix this?

    There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
    Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
    You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's.  Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

  • I have done the update to Firefox 7 yet when I open Firefox it tells me I need to update to the newest version which I just did, how can I fix this?

    I keep my Firefox up-to-date at all times but the last few weeks Gmail has been telling me that I am using an older version which it no longer supports even though I have the updated version. I was notified that Firefox could be updated to the newest version, which I did. After the update when I opened Firefox it told me that I needed to update to the newest version which I had already done. How can I fix this?

    Glad to hear it

  • Flash Animations and Movies are lagging after having played a flash game which was graphics intense heavy and frequently refreshed which caused lags, how can I fix this lagging problem for Flash?

    On June 30th, I was playing a game called Lil Einstein's Manhattan project over at Newgrounds.com and the game although fine at first, later on in the advanced levels of the game, started to cause my browser to lag intensely and heavily. Now, when I try and watch other flash movies and animations, the flash doesn't run as smoothly, there are skips in the flash animations and movies, and it slows down.
    I tried scan disks, I tried defragmenting my computer, I tried uninstalling and re-installing Firefox.. Nothing worked to restore the Flash.
    But when I view Flash movies and animations on Internet Explorer, they run fine... but not anymore on Firefox.
    Other Firefox users who have played this game also reported problems as well..
    How can I fix my Firefox Browser and return the Flash running to normal?

    If you have already scanned PC with an updated Anti-Virus and still the issue exists then I would suggest some troubleshooting techniques to resolve this problem:
    Update browser
    Remove unwanted Add-ons
    Remove unwanted Tool-bars
    Repair Registry
    Repair ActiveX objects and shared DLLs
    In case of facebook and Zynga I would suggest to Check for Problems with your Internet Connection.Try to Update Java and Reduce the Number of Running Internet Applications.
    Sometimes Multimedia content lag due to Hardware Acceleration, so disabling Hardware Acceleration should fix your problem.
    Open Flash Video in browser
    Right click on Video Player | Settings
    Open Display Panel
    Uncheck Enable Hardware Acceleration
    If issue still exists then you can find some more techniques described in detail here:

  • After resetting ipod touch 1st gen, it will not register to itunes anymore. How do I fix this?

    I reset my ipod 1st gen and all settings after it started getting finiky when trying to open apps and it wouldnt let me download apps from the store. But when I tried to connect my ipod to the computer again it would only register to my PC but not to itunes like before. I dont know how to open my ipod through itunes nor how to install itunes onto my ipod again. On my ipod it shows the connect to itunes screen. Is my ipod bricked? What does this even mean and how do I fix this?  I have windows 8 if that helps

    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or        
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • My 12 yr old daughters ipod touch was stolen by 1 of 2 people, how do i find the location of it to see wher it is?

    Find my iPod Touch (iOS 4.2.1 and greater) - http://images.apple.com/ipodtouch/built-in-apps/find-my-ipodtouch.html - has to be enabled before device is lost.  It also requires the device be on and connected to registered WiFi network, and not having been restored by the finder (if it was really stolen then the thief has probably restored it).  If you have activated the "Find My" feature, go to https://www.icloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
    Setting up iCloud (requires iOS5) - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html - includes activating the 'Find My' feature.
    Frankly in the case of a stolen iPod this almost never works. Report it to the police.  Change passwords on accounts. Go shopping for a new iPod.
