Resetting a disabled iPod Touch 5th generation through recovery mode not working.

I bought a disabled iPod Touch 5th generation at a garage sale. I looked up how to reset it and followed every step given and it was working. It said there were about 82 minutes and it was restoring for about until 70 minutes and then a pop-up comes up saying it can't restore it because it has a password on it! Please help me.

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

My iPod touch 5th generation battery indicator does not update when being charged (Updated to iOS 8)

Note that the iPod touch 5th generation was updated to iOS 8. When I connect my charger to my iPod touch, for the first time, the battery indicator does not update when connected to a power source. Instead of being charged, it says that the battery is being depleted. Please fix this issue. Thank you!

Cracked Ipod touch 5th generation. Although it still works. How do i trade it in for a refurbished one?

CRACKED IPOD 5
I bought an ipod touch 5th generation around A year ago. Now it has cracked. The crack is not that big but still noticebal. But the Ipod still works perfectly, but it still bothers me that theres a crack on the glass. I read online that apple can trade it for a refurished ipod. But i dont have a warranty or i dont have any of the stuff anymore. Just the charger and the ipod. I lost the box and headphones because ive had it for awhile now. And i tend to lose things. So is there still away for me to trade it in or get it repaired from apple? If you have any information for me that could help me IF YOU HAVE A SOLUTION NOTIFY ME ASAP.

Do not post your personal emails on a public user forum for your own privacy.
Book an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them if you could get an out of warranty service. Apple do not repair devices they replace them so for a price due to accidental damage they may replace your iPod.
If you do not wish to go to an Apple Store then give them a call and see if you have postage service options for a replacement in your country/region. Follow the link below for the number in your country:

IPod Touch 5th gen - GPS Very Vague / Not Working Well at All

I've been trying to use the NavFree GPS app on my new iPod touch 5th generation.
All I can say is that it sort-of works - in so much as it displays the vague vicinity I'm in within a few streets, however most of the time it just seems to be constantly hunting around for a location and is useless in the car for actual real-time directions - which seem to be randomly thrown out every now and then.
I've tried locating it in numerous places on the windscreen and on the dashboard but it hasn't made any difference whatsoever. Also when using it out in the open in walking mode, it will locate me for a moment then will wander off again and will start to show me standing in numerous different streets and places nearby.
I'm very disappointed at the moment because I purchased the full version with all the extras thinking that I've solved my sat-nav needs, but it's unusable as it is.
Can anyone help me with fixing this?
Cheers.

The iPod touch does not have a GPS radio. For location it relies upon the locations of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple database of routers and their locations. Thus, this app/the iPod alone without a real GPS accessory, works very poorly in a car since it really can't see may wifi routers and without a internet connection, can't access the Apple database to try to locate new routers that it finds.

Why Can't I put my Ipod Touch 2nd generation into recovery mode?

I have an ipod touch 2nd generation. I set a passcode on the ipod and then i forgot it. i tried everything and nothing worked and eventually it got locked fully and says "connect to itunes" on it. This is a problem because i no longer have the computer that i last synced to. i have a new laptop now and i threw away the old one.
I know how to fix it. I just have to put it into recovery mode and then restore it.
For some reason, i can't put it into recovery mode. I tried all different methods.
these are the ones i tried:
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212?viewlocale=en_US&cid=acs::itunes_help
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm2D7-PCTaw
i tried a couple more but i lost the links of them.
when i try to do the part of recovery mode where you have to start up the ipod. it doesn't go into recovery mode. it just starts up and pops up on itunes saying i have to unlock the ipod in order for the device to connect to Itunes!
Please help!

Nevermind! after countless tries, i was able to get it into recovery mode!

IPod Touch (latest generation) internal sound malfunctioning/not working

Defective sound on my new (received June 23, 2011) iPod touch 64GB. The iPod Touch will play when an external speaker or earbuds are attached; however, the sound cannot be heard when the external speakers/earbuds are not attached. When the iPod is not attached to any external speakers or earbuds, at infrequent times a very faint, static-filled sound can be heard, but it fades out to nothing.
This is the latest generation of the iPod touch. I have not had it for one month yet! What gives??? I also have an iPhone 4 and iPad2.... I'm having no problems with them (so far).

Try to set it up "as new device" without using the latest backup and only the default apps installed. If still no sound after that, visit your next Apple Store or contact Apple to get it serviced.

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves the timeout error.

Is it possible to install/use WhatsApp in iPod touch 5th generation?

Hey Guys!! I am much curious on Apple products and I wanna own one for me. So I planned to buy an iPhone 6 and as it's quite costlier for my current financial situation, I changed my mind. I wanna buy any product from Apple, and now I am finalizing with iPod touch 5th generation.
I do not have patience to wait until the next iPod generation to be released or so.
My only concern is WhatsApp messenger. Could anyone of you please let me know whether WhatsApp is accessible in iPod touch 5th generation?
For making calls I am going to use basic Nokia phone. Whereas with iPod touch 5th gen I will be using for all rest of the things like browsing, gaming, social networking, photography.
If YES!! I am getting my very first Apple Product right away.
Awaiting your responses.
Thanks,
Jackson Lourdusamy

I have an IPod 5, version 8.3 and I checked, and you can NOT get Whatsapp. But there are tons of great messaging/calling apps that are compatible with IPod 5. For instance, Textnow, Textfree, Even Messages built into the iPod. But with Messages you can only text someone with an IPhone, IPad, IPod Touch or Apple Laptop, Desktop.
Hope everything turns out great and you LOVE your IPod 5. (Like me!)

Twice experienced an unusual problem with my iPod touch 5th generation running iOS 8.0: crashes and disables power up. HOME and POWER pressed together to reset.

iPod touch 5th generation running iOS 8.0. iOS crashed twice, disabling power up. The only recovery was pressing and holding the home and power buttons together for several seconds. The iPod touch then went into restore mode. I've never experienced, heard or read of an iOS crash preventing normal power up: device has known battery charge, does not respond to pressing power button or connecting to AC charger.

That happens some times. Try:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem/it still keeps recurring, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How to reset ipod touch 5th generation without using itunes

I am locked out of my IPod touch 5th generation because my password was changed on me. It says my ipod is disabled and I need to connect to itunes. However, I can not get itunes where I am so I need to know how to reset my ipod without itunes.

Only if:
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and 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.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
otherise with a computer with iTunes and an interent connection
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: 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.
