The wifi on my iPod is turned off to save battery when not in use. I changed my password, but when I changed it, I must have mistyped it. I cannot restore my iPod, connect it to iTunes, or wipe it, as far as I've tried, and cannot contact Apple, HELP??

HELP?!?! I'm really frustrated! I tried connecting it to my iTunes on my computer, and it said I have to unlock the device for that to work.... and I don't know the password... :/

You need to place the iPod in recovery mode first before connecting to iTunes as this will allow you to bypass the passcode.  See this article for instructions on getting the iPod into recovery mode.

  • I have a ipod touch 4 and my ipod randomly turned off with full battery, Its not the battery and I tried holding the home button and lock button down but it didnt work... Help please!

    Today i was on my ipod then i locked it then i plugged it in to charge because it was only half battery and it just tuned off for no reason and it would not turn back on..... I tried the "solution" for it but it didnt work, if anyone could help that would be great!

    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.

    We were going by your post. 'What can i do to use this phone"...
    No offense intended, it's just that we see thousands of posts where people have different reasons for trying to use a stolen or lost device.

  • I've lost my iphone with passcode lock and find my iphone lock on but the wifi n cellular data was turned off so no way i can trace it so the only question remains is will the person who finds it be able to unlock it and use it as his own ?

    is it possible to change imei number?
    i've tried for so many times n still the phone is offline so i've set it to offline mode with my message but it never shows the last location why?

    If the device is found, nobody can use it without knowing your Apple ID and password.
    The phone will only show it's location if it is connected to cellular network or Wi-Fi. If those options are switched off, you can't locate the phone.
    With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which is designed to prevent anyone else from using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you ever lose it. It starts working the moment you turn on Find My iPhone in iOS 7. With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password will be required before anyone can:
    Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
    Erase your device
    Reactivate and use your device
    This can help you keep your device secure, even if it is in the wrong hands, and can improve your chances of recovering it. Even if you erase your device remotely, Activation Lock can continue to deter anyone from reactivating your device without your permission. All you need to do is keep Find My iPhone turned on, andremember your Apple ID and password.
    What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
    If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
    Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
    While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
    To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
    For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Turning off power saver temporarily.

    Is there a way to let the computer know I want to turn off power saver(dimming the screen then turning the display off) when watching DVDs? I seem to remember it was automatic with an older version of DVD player. Also is the solution applicable to VLC?

    Yes, but I have to do this every time I want to watch something with either of those programs. I'm sure the old version automatically overcame this problem. At the moment I have to keep moving the mouse or touching the keyboard every few minutes.

  • After I connect with my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.

    After I connect my iPhone (3GS 5.0.1) to any Ad-hoc wireless Network then walk away out of the reach of my wifi network, my iPhone can't find any wifi Network afterwards, only by turning off the iPhone completely and turning on again.
    switching off wifi and on again or going into airplane mode did't help!
    This problem happens only with ad-hoc wifi networks not with normal ones.
    (Ad-Hoc network was created on XP Computer)

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Sorry, but the 169.x.x.x IP address is internally generated by the iPod (and iPhone) and indicates that a network has been detected but no IP address has been issued. Your friends iPhone was not connected to your ad hoc network either - it connected to the internet through the 3G network.
    You should read through the Vista help screens on ad hoc networking for some insight how this works. You should be able to get some ideas there.
    In the mean time, $40 or less will buy you a very capable wireless router with four Ethernet ports and will simplify your network tremendously. Having used Windows ICS for a long time, the addition of a router and a real network simplified things so much.

  • I was using my 3rd generation ipod touch and i turned it off and the loading screen wont turn off to allow my ipod to turn off, help!!

    I was using my 3G ipod touch and i slid the power off button to turn it off and the loading screen before it shuts off wont allow my ipod to turn off. i cant do anything because my ipod has the loading screen still on it. HELP!!

    Try a hard reset.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  Then try shutting your iPod off again.

  • My ipod randomly turned off, now I can't turn it back on....

    I have already held the power button, and the home button, and plugged it into my computer.
    Here's the thing.... I was listening to music, and then I pressed the power button to turn the screen off, well my ipod just turned off, and I cannot for anything get it to turn back on.. and it had a full battery while I was using it ( so it's not the battery either)
    The ipod touch is about 2 years old, and I have never had this happen to me before.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

    If resetting does not help, connect in recovery mode, explained here: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore
