TS3682 I have tried to restore me iPod that is disabled due to typing in the wrong password too many times. iTunes keeps giving me a box saying that it can't connect because I need to type in the passcode on the iPod (which I can't) what do I do now?

I have followed the steps provided by apple to restore an iPod touch. It is disabled due to having the wrong password entered too many times. When I get part way through the restore process on my computer it pops up a box saying that it can't restore until I enter the passcode into the iPod. I have tried this same process over 5 times now and keep gutting the same results. It is my kids iPod and he has only had it since September. Someone please help me before I throw the thing through the window and my kid strangles me!!! Thanks!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • Hello my kids locked up thier ipad by entering the wrong password too many times and we cant reset it any suggestions

    HELLO THE KIDS HAVE LOCKED THIER IPAD AND IT IS TELLING ME CONNECT TOO ITUNES BUT IVE DONE THAT AND STILL NOTHING

    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

  • My iPod touch is lock and my brother was trying too use it and he  entered the wrong code  too many times

    IPod touchMy iPod touch is lock and my brother was trying too use it and he  entered the wrong code  too many times

    Ok
    I may be able to help you .
    If you backed up your iPod prior to it being locked you may be in luck.
    1. Hook it up to your Mac or PC
    2.Open iTunes
    3.Click on your iPod (on the left hand side somewhere)
    4.Click on restore (in the centre somewhere)
    5.follow the onscreen instructions
    Once you have restored the device there should be an option that says restore from back up.
    Click on that.
    Hopefully this works. If it doesn't please let me no.

    Connect the iPod to yur syncing computer and restore the iPod via iTunes.. If it asks for the passcode and you can't enter it, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • I locked my iphone because I entered password too many times

    I locked my iphone because I entered password too many times. The message I  get is ( iphone is disabled- connect to itunes

    If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the iPhone from the computer to which the iPhone is synced. For information and instructions, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

  • White screen after i entered the wrong ID password too many times

    Hi,
    I was attempting to sync my blackberry information to my laptop when i was asked for the ID password, I tried a few options but could not remember it at all. When It reached the last attempt the screen said if I entered the wrong pin it would erase all my information. I stopped went to the website and changed my passwords to make sure, then I went back and entered the new password. Immediately the screen turned white and began to erase everything. I pulled the battery immediately and having been frantically searching the Internet for a way to undo this. Please Please Please help. 
    I have so much on my phone I really need. Especially videos of my baby :-( 
    Can anyone help me.
    Solved!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Failure of the BBID credentials will never wipe a BB. What actually happened was you incorrectly entered your user-created device-lock password too many times, and it then proceeded with wiping the device, as per the requirements of the security level accepted when enabling that feature. There is no way to stop it.
    Sorry.

I always recommend that you treat your BlackBerry like any other computing device, including using a regular backup schedule...click here for an article with instructions.

  • Have tried Apple password too many times now locked out of iPhone and ipad

    I Have tried to put Apple password on too many times now I am locked out of iPhone and iPad how do I fix this

    If you've disabled your iTunes account (is that what you mean ?) then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your devices by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
    If that doesn't fix it then contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • My ipod is telling me to plug it into itunes but when i did that it said i needed to type in my passcode on my ipod to do anything, but i cant go to any screen other then the one it is showing me

    My ipod(ipod touch 3rd generation) is telling me to plug it into itunes but when i did that my computer said i needed to type my passcode into my ipod before i could do anything, but i cant go to any screen other then the one it is showing me (the one saying to plug it into itunes), i tried turning it off and then back on and it didnt do anything! also i just downloaded itunes to this computer so it doesn't have any music or anything on it that is on my ipod so i cant just wipe out my ipod. please help me! i use my ipod for everything!!!

    it is telling me to plug it into iTunes and when I dont iTunes tells me to put in my passcode
    That makes no sense. Are you plugging it into iTunes or not?
    ...phone still tells my to connect it to iTunes and even if I knew my passcode I still couldn't type it in.
    If you even knew your passcode why couldn't you type it in?
    Please try again: tell us the problem, what you try, and what the result is.
