My ipod 2nd generation will not work because I forget my passcode

I am trying to wipe my ipod

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.                        
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
If yoo want to wipe the iPod, just restore to factory settings/new iPod.
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 most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • My ipod 3rd generation will not work

    apple logo only on screen and flashes with lines, anyone know if can repair this problem?

    Try restoring it. like so
    You might also have to enter recovery mode. You do this by plugging the iPod touch into a computer then hold down the power button for about 5 seconds until you see the red slider button to power it off, slide to power off the iPod touch. Then press and hold both the power button and the home button at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release the power button but keep holding in the home button. Hold the home button in until you see the iTunes logo on the iPod touch, then let go of it. You can then restore your iPod using any computer but keep in mind that you will lose everything.
    To my knowledge, this should work for password protected iPod touch's and it is the only way to unlock your iPod touch without plugging it into the first computer.

    Hello Jane Benstock,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
    It sounds like the next best step to take would be to reset the iPod Shuffle.
    Check out this article named Resetting iPod shuffle found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655.

  • IPod touch 2nd generation will not connect to home wifi

    My ipod touch 2nd generation will not connect to the internet. I am using a BT modem and this is a new problem. Until recently, I had no problem with this connection and it will connect to BT Fon and BTOpenworld. I just cannot get it to connect at home any more. I also use a macbook pro and this is connected to the bt modem.

    You should post this in the iPod Touch forum.  This is the iPod Shuffle forum.

  • My ipod touch 2nd generation will not sync my downloaded songs

    My ipod touch 2nd generation will not sync my downloaded songs, does anyone have any help

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?           
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • My Center button on my Ipod 3rd generation is not working? What do i do it still goes up and down just doesnt select anything.

    My Center button on my Ipod 3rd generation is not working? What do i do it still goes up and down just doesnt select anything.

    What I had to was backup my device's data to either iCloud or iTunes. Once it was backed up I erased all of my settings as if my iPad just came out of the box. You set it up again and it will asked you to either start as new, back up from iTunes, or back up from ICloud. If you want to see if everything works you can set up as new, otherwise just pick the choice depending on where you backed up your information. Eventually it will restore all of your information and your iMessage and FaceTime should be working. It worked for me, if you'd like more/better instructions let me know!!

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My serial number will not work because it is letters and numbers...

    My serial number will not work because it is letters and numbers but I can't type letters into the boxes on the Adobe installer.
    I've tried holding shift, putting caps lock on, and leaving it lower case.  It just won't let me type letters into the boxes.  Is there a work around or some other solution?

  • My markup in mail will not work because the markup extension in not installed. How do I download the markup extension.

    I have installed Yosemite and markup in mail will not work because the markup extension in not installed. How do I download the markup extension.

    hi guys,
    what rraiszadeh      and hambros     said are correct.
    go to your desktop, look for 'Macintosh HD' icon
    [double click]
    window opens.
    look for 'system'
    [double click]
    double click on 'Library'
    look for 'Frameworks'
    click on drop down grey arrow.
    double click on 'versions'
    double click on 'A'
    double click on 'resources'
    you will find 'WIDGET SIMULATOR' in there
    double click on it.
    NEXT,
    Go to Application/Preview, then right clicking on Preview and selecting "Show Package Contents."  Then go to Contents/Plugins/Markup.
    drag that icon into the opened 'widget simulator' program.
    VOILA!

  • Hi. The buttons and wheel of my iPod 4th generation do not work. The hold button resets the iPod, and the shuffle shake works. The music plays by shuffling but I can't access albums etc due to the buttons and wheel not working.

    Did you restore from backup?
    Next would be to restore to factory settings/new iPod since maybe you have some corruption in the backup
