My iPod Touch is locked and frozen. Can anyone help me? :(

So I have an 8gb iPod Touch 1 generation. My ipod touch has a frozen screen and all it shows is the iTunes logo with the small white arrow and usb cord. I also think it is locked, plus I forgot my password . Anyways I connected my ipod touch to my pc (window xp) and itunes says that "iTunes could not connect to the iPod Touch because it is locked with a password. You must enter your password on the ipod before it can be used with itunes". The reason i connected it was to see if i can restore it but i guess it didnt work. Oh and one other thing my home button is not working, I guess its stuck.

to put it in dfu mode power off the power off the device by any means necessary. Once turned off, you should first press and hold the Home Button. Then, while holding the home button, connect the dock conector to the device and keep holding the home button untill an iTunes message appears that says "iTunes has detected an device in recovery mode."
With DFU mode, the steps are the same except, you would also hold the sleep wake button and the home button before connecting the device to the computer. Then connect the cable to the device and let go of only the sleep/wake button at the top of the device.
This method differs depending on the device and the person you talk to, but for me, this works when needed if the above steps are followed.

  • HT1212 I forgot my passcode and i have no backup of my Ipad, it is locked and disabled, can anyone help to restore factory settings atleast as a new ipad

    Hey salosawaya,
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes and you forgot your passcode, you'll follow these directions:
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    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 shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

    If when you connect the iPod to your computer yu can't make a backup:
    - Contact a data recovery company
    - Maybe via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

  • I have my iPod touch ios4.2 and I can't download any apps o. My iPod...what should I do? Helppppppppppp please

    I have my iPod touch ios4.2 and I can't download any apps o. My iPod...what should I do? Helppppppppppp please

    He are some apps that are still compatible for iOS 4.2
    > Pandora Radio (supports iOS 3 or better)
    > Army of Darkness: Defense (support iOS 3 or better)
    > Jet Fighters: ONLINE
    > Jet Fighters II: ONLINE
    These are the apps that I know that supports iOS 4.2...... get these before the their next updates.
    Some of these apps may be laggy but still playable.
    BUT IF YOU DO UPGRADE TO BETTER IPOD...... I would get the iTouch 4g OR 5g because of iOS 6 and use of camera and better graphics.

  • My iPod touch is lock and my brother was trying too use it and he  entered the wrong code  too many times

    IPod touchMy iPod touch is lock and my brother was trying too use it and he  entered the wrong code  too many times

    Ok
    I may be able to help you .
    If you backed up your iPod prior to it being locked you may be in luck.
    1. Hook it up to your Mac or PC
    2.Open iTunes
    3.Click on your iPod (on the left hand side somewhere)
    4.Click on restore (in the centre somewhere)
    5.follow the onscreen instructions
    Once you have restored the device there should be an option that says restore from back up.
    Click on that.
    Hopefully this works. If it doesn't please let me no.

  • HT1414 if an ipod touch is locked and you cant pull up settings on the ipod, how do you unlock it?

    If an Ipod touch is locked & you can't pull up the settings screen, how can you unlock it?

    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.

    If yo mean disabled this is the direct way:
    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    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
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    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        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
