ha, very funny.
So there is a lock symbol showing in iTunes for your nano? That means it is set for automatic update.
Change your iPod options to manual update and the lock will go away.

My itunes has locked up and does not want to open. I have tried re downloading and repairing twice. Suggestions?
I had a very similar problem. Eventually I figured out it was related to Quicktime. I installed the latest Quicktime and Itunes suddenly worked.
I had tried installing, repairing, removing, reinstalling, etc of both Itunes 11 and 10.7. -
ITunes has lock symbol; iPod will not update songs from library
My iTunes has a lock symbol next to remaining space area. Also, the remaining space says that there is 1.4GB of spaced used up even though there are no songs in the iPod folder or on the iPod itself. I have tried resetting the ipod and tried to copy and paste the songs over to the ipod folder with no luck. It says "updating files" for a split second but stops and nothing is actually moved over.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. ThanksYou have the iPod set to transfer songs automatically. That is why the padlock icon appears at the bottom of iTunes next to the space used/available.
If you want the songs to be bold and selectable/editable, then you need to change to manage the content manually.
You could restore the iPod to be sure the hard drive is completely erased.

Itunes has locked my iPod when I am connected. HELP!!!!!!!
When I am connected to my computer with my nano, it is impossible for me to edit the playlists and songs on my ipod. It recognizes it but I can't edit them. At the bottom of the sceen, where the available space is, there is a lock, and I have NO idea how to get rid of it!! Please help.
Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to automatically update. If you want to access your iPod directly, drag songs to it, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and videos" in the iPod Summary tab and click Apply. The text will change from grey to dark and the padlock will disappear: Managing content manually on iPod
One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod -
I plugged my iPhone into my desktop to charge it and clicked on iTunes. It asked me if I wanted to update iTunes on my phone. I have an iPhone 4S. I agreed and it proceeded to tell me that the phone is now in "recovery mode" and is asking me to "restore"the phone. I guess this means that it takes it back to original factory settings and erases all data. The phone is displaying a USB cord pointing to an iTunes logo and is locked--absolutely no functionality. I don't want to restore my settings and loose data. What is going on here? I just want it to go back to the way it was. Can anyone help?
Either the iPhone has crashed in some way to cause it to corrupt badly enough to need restoring to work (either hardware issue or software corruption) or it has been connected while holding down the Home button.
Try resetting the handset (Hold Home & Power together for 15secs until Apple appears) and if it still goes back to recovery mode it means there's a major software issue or a hardware fault -
I have updated to a new windows 7 computer, and after transfering my itunes library via iphone, itunes has locked me out of the app section of my phone. I can not add or remove apps using itunes. Is there a way to fix this? I have authorized, deauthorized, restarted, rebooted, and reset both my computer and iphone. Anyone got any ideas?? Thank you!
The safest way to do this would be to copy your itunes library to an external drive. For the purposes of this excersize the new Laptop would be the external drive
Here is the support article
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751
Then you could erase the iPhone and resync it without losing any content.
If this option is not open to you then this article contains ways to get your content off your iPod

I have just tried to update my ipod touch and the update failed but it has locked my ipod. All I get is a picture of the itunes logo and the usb lead. I am unable to get the ipod to move and I don't know what to do. I think I should be recompenced by Apple if I have to pay to get it fixed!
The logo is saying connect it to your computer with iTunes installed on the computer. I assume when yo do this that the iPod is not seen in iTunes. to make iTunes appear try:
- Resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Place the iPod in recovery mode. See:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Place the iPod in DFU mode:

If the iPod appears in iTunes restore the iPOd. If not I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. -

I have downloaded an iOS update on my iPad air2 but it has locked the screen and I can only see the iTunes symbol with a white arrow and a padlock below it. I have tried turning the iPad off and on but the same screen reappears. Has anyone had a similar problem?
What that symbol indicates is that your iPad has gone into recovery mode and now it needs to be restored in order for you to be able to use it again. You can reboot from now until the cows come home and it will not do any good.
You do indeed need to plug your iPad into your computer and use iTunes to restore the device.

Hi my mini ipad has locked me out and says connect to Itunes but it wont connect to it
Hi my mini ipad has locked me out and says connect to Itunes but it wont connect to it
Try:
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.
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. -
my niece has locked herself out of her ipod touch. when i plug it into the computer with the usb cable, a message on itunes says i have to enter her passcode. her ipod will not allow me to do so. what next??
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
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: 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 -
My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod has locked her out ir says disabled connect to itunes. The computer she last synced to has crashed. How can I unlock this ipod?
The device will have to be restored but without the last computer it was synced to, that's not a possibility.
Take the iPod to an Apple store or Apple certified repair shop.
You will need a computer in order to sync, restore, and update the iPod in the future.
"If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it."

My Ipad has locked with Itunes logo and cable displayed on a black screen. Cant do anything
My Ipad has locked on a black screen with only the Itunes music logo together with an arrow and a cable white photo display. Turning it on and off achieves nothing, only the Itunes circle and cable appear each time. What can I do to rectify?
I uploaded iOS 7 and the ipad came up with a black screen with pictures of iTunes logo and power cord. It wouldn't turn off or respond to any actions. A terrifying moment. I followed some suggestions from these discussions, connected iPad to Macbook with iTunes open and prayed. It took 3 separate times to completely reset the iPad, because of several "errors" that would occur throughout the lengthy process. This necessity to completely reset my iPad (and it is very shakily alive now, I fear) was a direct result of uploading the new OS. I am furious. What is going on with Apple? I see this has happened to people for quite a while now. Good Lord.
