Restore iPod 4th gen, without home button or passcode

So, recently, my little sister has lost her iPod touch, we just found it and the home button is broken and she doesnt remember the passcod, it has been disabled for a while. Is there anything we could do since we can't bypass the passcode using the home button and power/lock button?

- Reset the iPod.
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.
- Then try again.

  • Cannot restore ipod 4th gen without updating to ios 4.2 and cannot do that

    My son cannot remember his passcode to his new ipod touch 4th generation. I go into itunes to do a "RESTORE" and it won't restore unless I update to the new ios 4.2 software. When I try to update, I get the "network connection timed out" error. It will never update. I have disabled every bit of security on the computer, removed and uninstalled all anti-virus software, removed firewalls from windows and the router, unplugged and replugged in the modem and the router to do a hard reset, tried creating a new user account in Windows to see if that helped and it gave the same error. I was told by Apple that I must not be able to do it for some reason and I have to go to an Apple store to have it done. That is ridiculous that they can't even figure it out. My son just wants his ipod restored so he can use it and I just want to be able to do updates.

    i fixed mine!@#!@# all i did was closed kaspersky and it worked i don't know what your problem is tho since u uninstalled your anti-virus
    most people disable there anti virus but the anti virus doesn't fully close like kaspersky
    i hope u fix your problem

  • HT201412 Can't restore iPod 4th gen, HELP!!!

       Hi! I can't restore my iPod 4th gen. because it will not show up under "devices" on iTunes! I plug my iPod into my computer, and a little stop sign comes up telling me my iPod is locked with a passcode and needs to be unlocked. Heres the catch: my iPod has a erratic/unresponsive touch screen! I can't shut it down or unlock it! So ultimately the devices column does NOT show up. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRICIATED!

    Maybe:

    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .

  • Turning on an ipod 4th G with home button

    I have a question. The sleep/lock button on my ipod touch is stuck, and I want to know if I turn off my Ipod will I be able to turn it back on with the home button or another way. I currently use the assistive touch feature to lock the screen. I want to turn off the Ipod to see if that will help speed it up a bit, and because I haven' done it in a while. I don't want to turn it off and not have a way to turn it back on since the lock/sleep button is stuck down.

    i have a broken ipod touch 4th gen eveything works just need to replace the glass nothing else can it be done or do i need to replace everything

    The screen on the 4G and later iPods are one bonded unit of the outer glass, digitizer, and LCD assembly. Thus, you have to replace all three at once as one bonded unit

    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 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.
