Resetting iPod Touch 4th Gen

So I found an iPod touch 4th generation in the road and stopped to pick it up. The screen was completely shattered so I went on Amazon and bought a new one and put it on. When I turned it on It had a passcode. I tried resetting it with the power and home button but the power button doesn't work. After this I tried downloading several different programs like RecBoot and Reiboot but they wouldn't install properly I think because I have Windows 8. But I was just wondering If anyone had any solutions. Thanks!!!

Have you tried on another coputer?
Does the computer and iTunes see the iPod?
You can this this program
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
Installs blootware on PC too
otherwise thres is something else wrong with the iPod that prevent restoring

  • Is there a way to reset iPod touch 4th gen without the sleep/wake button?

    Hey everyone! My iPod touch 4th gen power button is jammed into the iPod itself. This is obviously a big issue, but is not the main point of this post. My iPod has been laggy and slow, so I need to reset it. (NOT restore, but slide to power off; press and hold home+power for 10 seconds) is there a way for me to do this without my sleep/wake button.
    Thanks in advance.

    To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices

  • My ipod touch 4th gen. won't charge or reset or come one at all.

    Please help.  I have a ipod touch 4th gen.  Yesterday it died, battery ran down, and i've not been able to get it to do anything.  The screen shows the battery with red, but it's really faint.  I've tried to reset/restart it several times, but it still does nothing.  I plugged it up to the computer, hoping to reset it via itunes... nothing.  I left it plugged up to the computer for several hours hoping it would charge....nothing.  Tried the docking station to charge it, nope. 
    The battery has run down before and i've been able to charge it with no problem.  I don't know what's different this time.  Is there a way to do a factory reset or something like that to just completely reset the whole thing? 

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 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.

  • HT201263 Having trouble forcing a reset on a disabled iPod touch 4th gen

    My sons iPod touch 4th gen is disabled as he forgot his pass code. I have tried to force a reset but the iPod has never been synced before with any pc it comes up with error asking for pass code. What can I do?

    Use any computer with iTunes and Restore as new.  Since it has never been synced, he will lose all of his data.

  • Have an iPod touch 4th gen.  It is completely charged, but once I disconnect from a power source it shuts down and then the apple logo just keeps reappearing.  I have restored via iTunes and reset all the settings.  Any suggestions?

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

  • I have a iPod Touch 4th Gen. Would not turn on. I try doing a reset (Power/Lock and Home for 10 sec), still nothing.

    I have a iPod Touch 4th Gen. It ran out of battery. So I charged it and it wouldn't show the charging sign. After a few hours, I tried turning on the device, it would not work. I try doing a reset (Power/Lock and Home for 10 sec), still nothing.
    I've tried plugging it in to my computer.
    Used different chargers, usb cables.
    Try doing reset.
    I did not drop it recently or drop the device into water. It was working fine before.

    i have and ipod touch 4th gen that has the white screen of death but my home button doesnt work. how do i reset it?

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    what do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet. i have contacted apple support and they said to change from wep to wpa2 but when i change it to wpa2 and type in password and connect on my laptop it says the saved setting on this computer for the network do not match the require ments of the network

    My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
    You may need to go back and start over.  Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

  • Wifi not working - iPod touch 4th gen.

    Hi, recently I have been experiencing difficulty joininh my home wifi on my iPod touch 4th gen. I have turned my iPod off and then on again three times, reset the network settings twice and checked the wifi works on other devices, please help! Has this happened to anyone else?

    Does the iPod Touch see your home Wi-Fi network?  If so, what happens when you try to connect to it?  Does you have security enabled on the router/modem such as WEP or WPA/WPA2?

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen isn't detected on Windows 7 Starter

    Device: iPod Touch 4th Gen (lastest update)
    iTunes Version: Latest Version
    Operating System: Windows 7 Starter (A netbook computer)
    My friend just started having this issue with his netbook where his iPod Touch will not be detected at all not even under My Computer. It will charge the device however it will not sync.
    Before he had the iTunes Wifi Sync on, but it wasn't really working either for some odd reason.
    On booting iTunes I noticed it kept coming up with the need to downgrade to be compatible for iTunes to run probably. I assume the latest version of iTunes cannot naturally run on Windows 7 Starter with downgrading to a lower compatiblity likely either it downgraded to Vista or XP compatibility.
    I was wondering with it was an iTunes sync service was not turned on, but another friend had brought her iPhone and right away that device appeared in iTunes so it appears to be a issue with the iPod itself. We swapped usb cables in hopes that his older more worn cable may have been the issue, but still not luck.
    We had used all of the following listed from this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. As well as another which I can't seem to find that had about 15 items to try.
    So basically it doesn't show up as even a usb device in the "Device and Printers" window or as a device under "My Computer".
    Thanks for your time.

    - As asked for the versions since many users think that have the "latest" when they do not have the latest version/
    - Q4: I said no that the iPod Touch 4G does not show up in iTunes/My Computer in my post. Please My question read my post.
    My queston is does your iPod show up in iTunes when you conenct the iPod to another computer.
    "If you connect the 4G iPod to another computer does it show in iTunes/My Computer?"
    If no:
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
