  • Ipod is stuck in lock mode

    Do you know how to restart an old Ipod because my ipod is stuck in lock mode.

    Does "lock mode" mean your iPod's buttons do not work, or does it mean you need to enter a code on a screen?
    Which type of iPod is this?  This document shows the models

  • 160GB iPod classic stuck in lock mode

    My 160gb iPod classic is stuck in lock mode.
    The lock switch is off and the iPod itself is still "locked"
    Is there any way i can fix this? it seems like there's a glitch with the lock but it moves smoothly and doesn't seem to have anything wrong with it
    Yet the iPod is still locked
    should I take it to the apple store?

    If none of the 5 R's are able to resolve the issue, it's likely a hardware issue, meaning you'll need to have the iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party service.

  • IPod Nano stuck in "lock" mode

    My iPod nano seems to be stuck in the locked position - not "locked" because I created a password for it, but it simply displays the lock symbol in the upper left corner regardless of how many times I flip the switch back to what should be "unlocked."  Because of this, I have no control over it.  When I disconnect it from my PC, the screen turns black and I cannot operate it.  Battery is fully charged.  Have tried soft reset many times, restore several times - no luck.
    Suggestions??????
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello paolamike,
    Not much for options here.  You'll need to have your iPod serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company to have the hold/lock switch replaced.

  • Stuck on Lock mode

    I've tried resetting it, I've held the buttons down, I've let it empty its battery (I left it alone for more than 42 hours, but there's no way for me to tell if it died), but it's still stuck on Locked mode. Not Screen Lock, though. It's really frustrating.
    I've toggled the Hold switch and it appears fine other than being locked. It uploads into iTunes, which I have the newest version of, and I can update it and stuff, it just is locked and I can't get into it.
    Please help!

  • Ipod is stuck in recovery mode.

    my ipod is stuck in recovery mode. tried all the turn off turn on tricks, any ideas?

    the computer recognizes the device but cannot find a driver for the ipod.  itunes does start up when you connect the ipod, but it never recognizes the ipod.  I have unistalled & re-installed itunes and still get the same thing.  the ipod will only display the usb connector pointing to the itunes logo.  it locked up while it was updating, i think to 5.1.  any advice would be appreciated, thanks for the reply.

  • My iPod is stuck in headphones mode

    MY iPod wad playing through its speakers and then I locked it. When I went to play it again, there was not way to control the volume at all so I plugged headphones in and unplugged them. Now my iPod is stuck in "headphones" mode and won't play through the speakers. Any ideas on how to help?

    - Try cleaning ou/blowing out the headphone jack. Insert/remove the plud a dozen times or so
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a bad headphone jack.

  • Ipod touch stuck in recovery mode and will not restore. error code 3194

    ipod touch stuck in recovery mode, will not restore and comes up with error code 3194, itunes is up to date, please help

    Hi @rchangel - Thanks for the ideas...
    Yes - it won't let you install the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine.
    I've had a cursory look at the SP1 release notes, and couldn't spot anything vital - what critical stuff do you know of in SP1?
    I don't want to have to go through all the pain of setting up VM's, reinstalling iTunes, getting all my album art back in etc. (though I could, as I do have Win7 pro). I've also heard that running iTunes in Windows 7 compatibility mode might help. Can anyone confirm whether that actually works?
    I think it's in Apple's gift to fix this issue, given that they say that they support Windows 7. So far I've had no feedback from a mail I sent to Apple, and the number of users reporting this problem keeps going up and up.
    I want Apple to recognise that there is a problem, and then I want them to fix it.

    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • TS1441 ipod touch stuck in recovery mode

    attempted to upgrade to OS8 and my ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode

    The best way to get out of this situation is to use a well-known tool called TinyUmbrella.
    First of all download TinyUmbrella  http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.in/
    Now, making sure your device is connected to your computer, launch TinyUmbrella
    It will automatically detect that your iPod is stuck in recovery mode
    Select the Exit Recovery button and it should throw your iPod touch out of recovery.
    Alternatively, you can right-click on your iPod name from a list at the side
    of TinyUmbrella and select Kick out of recovery.
