My granddaughter forgot her unlock passcode? How can we reset the iPod touch without losing her music?

My granddaughter forgot her unlock passcode to her iPod touch 4. How can we unlock her iPod?

you can only restore the iPod using:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212, but all data (purchases excluded) will be lost.
If the music was purchased with iTunes, here's how to redownload it: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519  but all other music is lost.

    my old email address was hacked and I am no longer able to access it. How can i reset my icloud ID without losing all of my pictures and more importantly contacts? I have created a new ID but i cannot seem to use it until I delete the old account

    You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
    Have you seen this.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

  • How can I sync the ipod touch with windows 7 64 bit

    How can I sync the ipod touch with Outlook on windows 7 64 bit?

    I'm having the same problem with Windows 7, iTunes has been spotty about recognizing my iPod Touch. Now that I've updates Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (June 2011), It won't complete a sync or a restore at all on either of my Windows 7 computers.
    I have gone through every troubleshooter action recommended by Apple Support, and have not been able to improve the situation at all.
    I took my Touch to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store after trying and failing to complete a restore while troubleshooting, and it restored just fine from a Mac.  Unfortunately, it now gives me an error meesage (Incompatible device) half way through an attempted sync, or iTunes simply freezes.
    I even tried removing the Windows SP1, but that was a mess, as my display went all whacky and iTunes crashed immediately upon startup.
    The Windows 7 OS ***** in general, particularly with compatibility issues, and not just for Apple products.
    Does anyone know how to remedy this situation?
    I'm so frustrated and have wasted so much time on this issue that I'm going to throw it all out the window!
    HELP!!!!!!

  • Can u use the ipod touch without wifi like the phones do

    can u use the ipod touch without wifi like the phones do

    That depends on what you mean by "use".
    Sure you can use it without wifi. Many apps do not require a connection to the Internet. The iPod app (or Music and Videos apps, I can never remember which the iPod Touch uses nowadays), for example.
    However, iPod Touch devices do not include the "cell phone parts" - i.e. they cannot connect to cellular voice or data networks. Therefore, when an iPod Touch cannot connect to a wifi network, it has no way to transceive data with the Internet (short of Bluetooth, but that's a special case and I'm sure not what you're asking about).

  • Private Mode - I forgot my unlock Pattern, how can I reset it?

    I set up Private Mode when I first got the Note 4.
    Now I forgot my pattern to unlock private mode.  How can I reset it so I can use private mode again?

        bappelman, I am sorry to hear that this is going on. Unfortunately when a passcode is unknown you would have to reset the device to factory defaults in order to reset the password/pin. Take a look here to see how http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-104013/.

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
    iOS: How to back up
    Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    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   
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • "Use iTunes to restore". How can I access the iPod w/o losing present data?

    I have a request from my grandaughter to download a number of songs to her iPod. I charged the battery fully. When I tried to start it , it read "Use iTunes to restore". How can I access her iPod w/o losing any of her present songs? Please please help.

    You can't. Restoring will always erase the device. Unless you have a backup in iTunes or iCloud everything is removed. Purchased items can be re-downloaded as long as the original Apple ID used to purchase them is also used when reconfiguing the device after it is restored.
