Siri has vanished from iPod touch, I am asked to insert a pass code in restrictions, I have never set one so don't know it.
Siri has vanished from iPod touch 5 generation after update. If I go to Restrictions I need a pass code which I have never set. What do I do?
Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes. For how to restore: iTunes: Restoring iOS software
You have to either:
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod

My grandson played with my 4th generation iPod touch and the phone icon and contacts icon are gone. I have gone to settings and done the "reset all settings" and "reset home screen layout" with no success. I also did a hard reset. No luck. I can get to my apps through the search screen but no icons.Help?
Try doing a Spotlight search for the Contacts app.

How can I reset my Ipod's pass code, restoring doesn't reset anything and I still don't know my code?
Passcode for what?
Was the restore successful, that it did the iPod/iTunes go through all the steps without errors?
For screen-lock passcode:
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.

My ipod touch 3g keeps asking to connect to itunes and i no longer have the computer
help me please
Connect the iPod to another computer that has iTunes installed and restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod If iTunes asks for the passcode and you do not know it or it will not accept the passcode, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore it. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
You will lose everything on the iPod, but that is the way it is. -
Hi can anybody help me please my grand daughter had changed the pass code on my ipod touch and now forgotten it is there anyway i could bring it back to the begining like when i first got it. I cant access anything and i cant sync it to itunes either.
Hello Corinnana,
Yes. Connect the iPod to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restore it as a new iPod. See this article for instructions on how to place your iPod in Recovery Mode.

So I updated to IOS 7 last night and when I tried to log in it wants a passcode... I have never used a Passcode feature on my phone and have not backed up my phone in forever what do I do???? Can i still get in by somehow singing in with my apple ID? Do i need to use this new lost phone activation... Please help i have a useless phone. Anyway apple can reset this passcode, I know my apple ID that is tethered to the phone and password.
The same thing happened to my poor sister, and she is panicking because of all of her photos of her "daughter growing up" that will be lost. It seems that this has happened to several people already, and I REALLY hope that Apple figures this out so that it doesn't force all of these people to completely reset their devices. Best of luck to you, and I am bookmarking this and other similar discussions to monitor for other, more desirable solutions.

how to transfer file from ipod touch to i tunes. i have files in my ipod , ut itunes is new so its telling if u sync the ipod all the files will be replaced but no files in the itunes.. so kindly help me how to transfer the files from i pod to itunes......
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Can't sync playlists from ipod touch to new computer
Can't Sync Playlists from iPod Touch to New Library
I just upgraded from an old Pentium computer to a new Dell XPS 18 running Windows 8.1. Downloaded latest version of iTunes to the new computer, then successfully transferred library content from the old computer to the new one via the external hard drive method. All material -- iTunes purchases, music ripped from CDs, a movie, even MP3 files purchased long ago from another source -- transferred successfully; everything plays on the new computer just fine.
My problem is that the "old" playlists didn't transfer over. After connecting my iPod Touch to the new computer, I verified that the iPod has the latest version of iOS, and its content (including the old/original playlists) displays in the window on the left-hand side of the iTunes screen. The really frustrating thing is that I can find no way to transfer the old playlists to my new iTunes library. I've tried dragging and dropping, selecting and pasting, and exploration of all the options menus, but no luck. Creating a new playlist in the new library and then clicking on the "Add To" button opens up a window into which to drop dragged songs/folders from the new library listing, but simultaneously closes the left-hand display window with all of my iPod's current playlists depicted.
I appear successfully to have backed up my iPod to the new computer, but all the sync menu options are grayed out. When I tried clicking on the Sync button, I got a warning that syncing to the new library would erase everything from the old library -- presumably obliterating my playlists with it. I have about a dozen different playlists, some of them with several hundred songs, drawn from a library of a few thousand individual items. Is there some means of importing/transferring the old playlists to the new computer/library, so that I don't manually have to drag and drop hundreds and hundreds of songs into a new set of playlists? Am I overlooking something really obvious or simple? Can I safely turn on Home Sharing and then import or paste the old playlists into the new computer's library. I don't think I'm too much of a Luddite, but given the size of my library I'm very leery of turning on Home Sharing (to the old Pentium computer) after I've successfully transferred over many GBs of content from the old machine to the new.

Sync from ipod touch to PC, after my PC is formatted!
I had earlier synced my ipod with the PC(Windows 7). Later due to system crash, I had to format all my data from my computer, and it was restored to factory settings.
However, the ipodTouch has all the data (songs, apps, etc). I installed iTunes again on my PC, but I didnt sync my PC with iTouch since this will delete all the data from iTouch.
Now I wish to sync my iTouch with my PC because there are few apps which I purchased and are on my PC. How can I sync my iTouch with PC without losing the data from ipod touch?
Thanks for your help in advance.This previous discussion may help. However, you will likely loose on data you have in apps.

Is your laptop a different computer than your computer?
You have two computers?
iTunes is missing everything from which one/both?
I system restore. Everything is gone. None of my podcasts, apps, or music files are there.
Do you mean you reinstalled the system from scratch?
Yes, that tends to delete everything.
Or you restored everything from a backup?
Directions on where to go to download all past purchases?
Selete Store on the left side of iTunes.
Make sure you are signed in.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick links to redownlaod your purchases.
Then make sure to regularly backup, backup, backup all your important data .
