You must restore it, losing anything you have failed to backup or store on your computer or cloud service.

  • What do you do when your iPod is disabled and it says connect to iTunes. And then you connect it and on the computer it says iTunes cannot connect your iPod because it is locked with a passcode

    PLEASE HELP

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • I got a divorce and my ex took the ITunes account! Ineed to open a new one but i dont want to loose all my apps! HELP

    My exwife took the ITunes acount! i need to open a new one but i dont want to loose all my apps

    Sorry, but the apps are tied to the former iTunes Store account, and if your ex wife was granted ownership, you no longer have a legal right to the apps and will have to purchase them again through your own new iTunes Store account.
    Regards.

  • IPod Touch disabled and can't connect to iTunes?

    My iPod touch 4th gen has been fully disabled so that it says 'connect to iTunes'. But when I do that, it says I need to unlock my iPod first, which I can't do because my iPod is disabled. What do I do? Also, I don't want to restore my iPod because I don't have some data backed up. Thanks.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. You have no other choise. In the future make sure you frequently backup your iPod.
