You need to put the iPad into recovery mode, if you succesfully do that then your computer's iTunes won't prompt you to enter the passcode on the iPad : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled

Restored ipod not updating entire itunes music library

after restoring ipod to factory conditions, the ipod does not "update" all the music in my itunes music library. instead, both the ipod and itunes freeze. what needs to be done to complete an update?

Typo correction on my topic post: I realized the only music I could see in my library was what was updated off of my new laptop.

Is it possible to restore iPod without plugging into iTunes?

Hello - having great difficulty doing anything to my iPod through iTunes. Is there anyway in which I can restore my iPod without going through iTunes?
(iTunes already re-installed)
Thanks

I can't imagine there being any way, unless you use some 3rd party software (which I don't recommend)

How to restore iphone without updating software

how do i get my iphone 3 to restore without updating to ios 4.1.2 i have tried unchecking "check for software updates automatically" but it still won't just restore what else should i try?

You can't. Part of the restore process involves updating the iOS.
The only reason why you wouldn't want to update your iOS is because your phone is jailbroken. Jailbroken phones cannot be discussed on this forum.

Restore ipod without a computer?

i wont bore you but my 160gb 6g ipod needs restoring. I have tried putting it into disk mode, but my computer does not notice it is plugged in. Ive tried many cables, and discharging + fullly charging the battery. Interestingly enough, when i run HDSMARTDATA in the diagnostics menu, it says temp:min is 51C , which is surely wrong. There must be a way of restoring it to factory settings without a computer, since there must be a lot of problems that can only be solved by this.
Thanks to anyone who tries to help

try using another computer to restore it then use your own computer to sync your ipod

Updated my iPod, without updating iTunes and it says reset to manufactured settings

After the update was at 99% it said, iTunes needed to be updated first but nothing told me to update iTunes, and now it says reset to manufactured settting, aka clear everything. I don't have everything backed up on this laptop (my sisters) and when I turn it on the screen says usb to iTunes and when it is, it just says reset. Anything will help.

- The first step of an update is making a backup. I iTunes go to Preverences and then to the Devices tab. You should see your iPod backup with a date specified. Does the date correspond to to when you tried the update?
- A backup does not include music or the apps themselves. Therefore, if the compute does not have the apps in its iTunes library. the app data in the backup can't be restored.
- You really have no alternative but to restore the iPod.

Restore Ipod without connecting to windows?

Is there anyway to restore (ie. wipe the hard drive) without connecting the ipod to windows? My computer won't see the ipod and all the links/assistance I have followed results in "connect your ipod to your computer and restore with the ipod restore software" which I can't because my computer won't see the ipod.
HELP - I'm going round in circles!

There really is no way of erasing your iPod's hard drive without connecting it your computer. However, I want to clarify one thing - if you connect your iPod to your computer, and reset it while it is connected, it should go to the Do Not Disconnect screen. If it does, open My Computer and see if there is an Apple iPod or a Removable Disk listed under "Devices with Removable Storage." If it does not go to the Do Not Disconnect screen, you may want to try playing around with different USB ports and different USB cables (there's always the chance one of those two have gone bad).
Try this, let me know what happens.
Good luck!

Restoring Ipod after update

Help!!!! I updated my Ipod yesturday and then tried to restore it, while it was in the middle of the restoration it froze and now it is in recovery mode and everytime i connect it to Itunes to restore it, it freezes in the same spot and then disconects itself. I have already tried to uninstal itunes and then reinstal it but that didn't help. Can anyone please help me!!!!

Welcome to the discussions,
did you disable any kind of anti virus software or firewalls before you started to restore? The ipod needs to contact Apple during the update.

Restoring Ipod After Updating to version 7.02

I'm kind of in a bind. Yesterday, I updated my iTunes to version 7.02. I was able to restore my iPod, but it suddenly crashed. When I went to restore it today, I got a message that read that my iPod is corrupted. (I have never gotten this message before.) I then got a second message that said "There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod 'iPod'. The requested resource was not found."
I poured through the various threads that deal with this issue, but no one seems to have found a solution that works. I re-installed the new iTunes, I unblocked any security pop-up, etc. and nothing seems to work. I keep getting the same messages - that my iPod is corrupted and that there was a problem downloading the iPod software.
On an unrelatd note, I have windows XP and now, when I try to restore my iPod, I get an "Autoplay" pop-up box that seems to be searching for a file. Huh?
Anyway, what's going on? Has anyone found a solution to this problem? (One person said that s/he just waited for the battery to his/her iPod to run out and posted that the restore then miraculously happened... Seems suspect, though.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Wow, perfect timing. I had the exact same thing happen just now. It must be some problem with itunes 7 and 4th gen ipod. It says its corrupted, and I should restore. When I press restore, it says it cannot bc the resource is not found. Maybe if enough people chime in, a solution will be found. Question, do you have any antispyware, or other apps which were running?

Connecting a synced iPod without updating (this time)

How do I connect my iPod 5th gen to my mac without syncing the iTunes library. My library is already synced, but I deleted teh wrong thing from my library, and if I sync my iPod, I'll lose it from there also. I remember you have to hold some buttons on the iPod, but I can't remember which. Please help!

Press the Option and Command keys on a Mac or the Shift and Control keys in Windows.
