Unable to connect to iTunes coz my iPod is locked. i'm unable to unlock my iPod coz my "slide to unlock" is not working

my above title refers... PLEASE HELP! I wanna cry already!

That's what I did last night - restore it to factory setting via iTunes. It worked fine last night afterwards but this morning when I tried to turn it on again, it's stuck at the "slide to unlock" screen... since 3 hours ago. I can't possibly restore it to factory setting every other day! It's too time consuming. If I leave the ipod on continuously it starts to lag and freeze after 2-3 days.
It saddens me because I spent $100 on a medical app recently for school and if the ipod keeps on like this, I won't be able to use the app to look up things when I have no computer access...

    My phone isn't connecting to iTunes, is downloading inappropriate magazines on its own, and won't let me restore it. What's wrong with it?

    What version of OS X are you running? What version of iTunes are you running?  And please don't say 'the latest version'... Give us actual version numbers.

    I can click the tabs Music, Movies etc. but I can't see anywhere to access the files themselves, no music or movies are listed, I only have the option to 'Sync' with the iTunes, which I don't want to do as there is no content on the iTunes!!!

  • I cant connect to itunes on my ipod touch 16gig and it wont play youtube content

    when i click on the itunes tab on my ipod touch it messages that it cannot connect to itunes store and it wont let me watch or listen to anything on youtube can anybody help

    So it is not this problem:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Teh try:
    Does the iPod connect to other networks? (noit clear if you have access to more than one)
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    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.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Can't connect to itunes with my iPod (touch).

    My IPod is disabled (I haven't used it in quite awhile, don't know why it's disabled) and is asking me to connect to itunes. When I try to, I get an error on itunes saying "iTunes could not connect to the iPod "Nathan's IPod" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPod before it can be used with iTunes."
    ...Yet I can't because I'm being to to connect to itunes for my ipod to be unlocked.
    Any solutions to this odd paradox? Thanks!

    For how to restore:

    To restore from backup (if you have an iCloud backup) see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

    Please Help!

    If it happens again and the reset (home + power buttons) doesn't work, just let the battery drain; you'll know when the screen shuts off. Charge it back up and it should be fine. Frankly, I'm surprised this worked for you. Usually I hear people with this problem say that holding both buttons doesn't work, and they have to do the battery drain.
    If the issue is incurable next time, you have a one-year warranty from the date of purchase.
