    You can't. You will have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    The screen-lock passcode is a good security feature.

    Hi,
    Take it to you nearest Apple Store and see what they have to say. You should back up you data before you go in but in your case you can not.

    My friend gave me his old ipod touch that had a password that he forgot..ive tried hooking it up to my itunes, but it keeps saying i need the password, how do i rest it? help?

    Then get the previous owner to remove the iPod from their account
    Apple's new iCloud tool can show if a used iPhone is stolen
    If you can't get that done then all yo have is a poor flashlight. You are running into
    Find My iPhone Activation Lock
    Which is an anti-theft feature. Apple will not help since you are not the original purchaser of the iPod

    ONLY the carrier to which it is locked can unlock it.
    Contact that carrier and ask if they offer this service and if you qualify

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup

    Then restore via iTunes. The iPod 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: 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

    Hi! I'd like to ask how to erase all content and settings if your iphone was stolen? Please help.

    Were you signed in to iCloud?
    Did you have Find My iPhone enabled in the iCloud settings?
    If so sign in to iCloud.com > Find My iPhone > Devices & select your iPhone
    Otherwise, you are out of luck.

  • Will apple send me a new ipod touch if they cant repair the screen

    will apple send me a new ipod touch if they cant repair the screen

    No.  They will likely replace your iPod with a refurbished iPod of the same model and refurbish yours for later use as a replacement if it is economical to do so.

    Okay so this is what can be done for you....
    First go to itunes then Edit --> Preference --> Advanced --> and check off copy music to itunes music folder when adding songs to library.
    Now connect the ipod to the computer (if this a new computer and the ipod has never been connected to it, you'll get a box asking you to link the libraries, Say NO)
    In itunes select file then 'add folder to library' and highlight the ipod in My Computer. Then select ok. The music should start updating into itunes.
    When the update is complete, remember to go back into the preference window and uncheck 'copy music to itunes music folder when adding songs to library'
