Please help me Restore my Ipod!
I've been searching the site for 2 days. I have a 40GB Ipod Click Wheel (non color screen). It was working fine the last time I used it and added music to it using iTunes for Windows. Now when I touch the wheel, I hear sounds as if the drive is trying to run but then stops and starts over. This continues as long as the screen is active. I've tried resetting with no luck. I've left it charging in an outlet overnight with no luck. I would like to restore it to the factory settings and start over, but I can't get iTunes to recognize it. Everything on this site I've read about restoring it states to do it from iTunes. If I can't see it in iTunes, how exactly am I supposed to do that?????
Try putting it into Disk Mode.

Then if the "stops and starts over" behavior stops, connect it to the computer and check if iTunes sees it, so you can run the Restore process.

Someone please help me restore my iPod!
I recently bought an I pod fifth-generation on Kijiji. When I got the iPod there was a passcode on it the old owner told me I could just hook it up to my computer and restore it. But when I got it home I restored it but it wanted the previous owners Apple ID. I tried to contact the man I got the iPod from but he would never get back to me. It's been about two weeks now and I still can't get into the iPod. Someone please help me did I get ripped off or is there a way to get around this? This is very frustrating I will never buy anything secondhand again!!!
Return for a refund. Otherwise turn into police since it would appear that the iPod was stolen or lost.

Please help me restore my ipod touch!
Why can't I restore my ipod touch 2g? I have deleted most of my things on my ipod too.
All error codes related to the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad with an error ending in 11 are hardware malfunctions, either do to a faulty cable, or a loose connection. Check the connections (between the iPod and the computer), as well as any tears in the cable.
You may need to use a newer cable, or get the iPod repaired. Drop by an Apple store and see if you can restore at one of their computers. -

Hello, I was wonderin gif you can please help me, my daughters iPod is disabled and I can't open it.
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.

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 iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

I switched from Mobileme to iCloud last night.
My iphone show all contacts properly.
But, I can't see any of contacts from my Mac and pc.
My all contacts are gone.
Please helpe to restore all my contacts.
I sync my ipone and mac.
Thanks,
dolphinYour signature says you have 10.6.2: is this correct? Lion 10.7.2 is required for syncing with iCloud - you cannot sync your contacts on 10.6.2. All you can do is go to http://icloud.com , select Contacts, click the top contact and then the bottom one while holding the shift key to select them all; click on the cogwheel at bottom left and choose 'Exort vCard'.
Then go to Address Book on your Mac, from the File menu choose 'Import' and select your vCard. This will restore the contacts to your Mac but they will not sync with iCloud. -
