  • HT1430 my daughter's ipod has been disabled after too many wrong password attempts. The ipod was not synced to a computer. How can we get it started?

    My daughter's ipod touch has been disabled after too many wrong password attempts.
    The ipod was never synced to the computer so can't connect to itunes.
    How else can we enable the ipod touch again?

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  In your case, choose any computer with iTunes software.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    A data recovery company MAY be able to do it for a price. The Disabled is a very good security feature.
    JWhy not just restore from the last backup you have?

    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.

  • TS2446 Ipod touch displays "Your Apple ID has been disabled" when attempting to update Apps.

    How do I work through "Your Apple ID has been disabled" on an Ipod Touch?
    My child's Ipod touch displays "Your Apple ID has been disabled" when attempting to update game Apps.  I have reset the password, and reset the Ipod to factory settings; did not resolve.  This began by entering wrong Apple ID password multiple times.  Thank you.

  • My ipod won't connect to Itunes after I attempted to restore it, it now has a white bar underneath it. Help?

    My ipod was stuck in the connect to itunes sign, I have no idea what that's called. anyway, I connected it to itunes and tried to restore it. After several failed attempts, it seemed to be working, and showed an apple logo with a hollow white bar underneath it. From my undestanding, it was supposed to fill as it was restored, but Itunes came up with an error saying it failed to connect, so now it is frozen like that, and won't turn off or shut down when you hold the home and lock button for ten seconds It won't connect to itunes now. I dont know what to do. Please, any help would be good.
    It's a second generation Itouch. and i think it has had the most recent update, im not sure.

    The white bar means it is doing the update.  I hope you didn't unplug your iPod while it was updating.
    Hold down the power and home buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.  After that you can let go.  You may have to restore your iPod depending on the extent of the problem.

  • HT201401 I changed my pass code and couldn't remember the new pass code. After several failed attempts, my iPhone has been disabled. What do I do?

    I changed my pass code and couldn't remember the new pass code. After several failed attempts, my iPhone has been disabled. What do I do?

    If you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

  • Is there any way to break into an ipod after it has been disabled

    My daughter has put a passcode on her dads iphone 4s and cant remember it and after multiple attempts it is now in "connect to itunes. My husband does not want to lose the photos on it. Is there a way to get photos off before restoring

    If that phone has been synced in iTunes, you can restore from the backup after having restored the phone.
    There is also a little mac app that can read the iPhone backups that are in iTunes,called ibackupviewer.
    Then when there is no backup of the iPhone: read the following aricle:

  • HT1212 I think I might be missing a step?  My Ipod 5 has never been backed up to Itunes.  Is it possible to unlock it after I receive the message "Ipod is disabled".  I

    I did download "itunes" to my computer afterwards and tried to synchronize, but after about 45 minutes in the download it asks me to put in the password....  Which my son forgot!  Any other ideas?

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

    James5wins, you do not have to restore as new. Restoring from backup does NOT restore the screen-lock passcode.

Could someone possible direct me to what I should do now? Thank you.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

  • My ipod touch 4g is stuck in recovery mode after attempting to update to iOS 5. My computer is registering the ipod however itunes is not. Nothing ive tried has made it come up in itunes to let me restore. I've done the basics. Please help

    My computer is registering the ipod however itunes is not. Nothing ive tried has made it come up in itunes to let me restore. I've done the basics (i.e multiple computer restarts, switching USB ports, fresh install of itunes. I've checked the forums and everything I've found has involved things that I have been unable to do involving the itunes restore. Please save my ipod from a hammer.

    You can try 2 things:
    Restart your iPod by - Holding the Power and Home buttons until you see the Apple logo.
    Put your iPod in DFU and restore - Hold the Power and Home until the screen goes black, wait about 2 seconds, release the power button but keep holding the home for 15 seconds, then on iTunes, Restore and Update.
