    my ipod touch disabled and my p.c not working what do i do

    Thgen the iPod needs a wifi connection to the internet and yo need another iPod, iPhone or iPad with the FindMyiPhone app. you can also yse any computer too
    Only if:
    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
    Via USB with any computer with iTunes and an internet connection
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • IPod touch disabled, password lock out, not appearing in iTunes devices

    Hi,
    My daughter has entered the wrong passcode on her new iPod touch multiple times and now there is an error message on the screen saying iPod is Disabled - connect to iTunes.  When I connected it to iTunes, the following error message appeared : 'iTunes could not connect to the iPod touch because it is locked with a passcode.  You must enter your passcode on the iPod before it can be used with iTunes'.  This is not possible because the iPod is disabled.  The iPod does not appear in as a device in iTunes, nor is it visible as a folder on 'my computer'.  iPod has never been synched with any computer and it does not synch when connected to my PC.  I have tried re-setting the iPod by holding down both the on/off  and home buttons but to no avail.  All of help I came across directed me to the device in iTunes but it is not possible to do this.  Can anybody help?
    Thanks in advance.

  • IPod Touch disabled and can't connect to iTunes?

    My iPod touch 4th gen has been fully disabled so that it says 'connect to iTunes'. But when I do that, it says I need to unlock my iPod first, which I can't do because my iPod is disabled. What do I do? Also, I don't want to restore my iPod because I don't have some data backed up. Thanks.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. You have no other choise. In the future make sure you frequently backup your iPod.

  • IPod Touch, home and lock buttons Turn iPod off, help!

    Whenever I press the home or lock keys on my iPod touch it comes up the screen with slide to turn off and cancel, even if I press cancel it proceeds ago turn off, and then won't come back on, unless I connect it to a power connection, I have tried restoring it, and still will not work.

    It it sill happens after restoring the iPod to factory deaults/new iPod, then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod touch volume and lock buttons do the same thing

    whenever i press the volume up or lock button, my ipods volume goes up and it locks. also if i turn it off it only turns back on if i plug it into a computer. i dont know if i still have my warranty and i would like to know if its possible to fix, and how much it would cost

    dont have the warranty, its about 4 years old and i bought it last year from my niehbor. the buttons dont even work now! it was trying to turn off as i i had held the lock button in and now only the home and volume down buttons do anything -__-' any idea where i can get it fixed for a reasonable price???

  • My iPods touch 1st and 2nd generation don´t show up anymore in iTunes after upgrade to iTunes 10.5 and MacOsX 10.6.8 Snow. What can I do??

    I was using iPods touch 1st and 2nd generation together with iPod Shuffle 1st generation with inferior versions of iTunes and MacOS X without any problem. After I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and Mac OS X 10.6.8, the iPod Shuffle still appears in iTunes normally, but the iPods don´t appear. Its not a problem of the USB because because it happens with two different USB cables which worked just fine before. Any idea how I could get the iPods working again?? Thanks a lot!!!

    I have an iPod Touch 2nd Gen, MacOS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.5, and my iPod still works when I plug it in.
    So it's not the software, because mine still works. Do your iPods have a lock on them? If so, try unlocking them and then plugging them in, usually when your iPod has a passcode lock it won't show up in iTunes until you unlock it.

  • I recently bought a used iPod touch generation 5 and reset it (erased everything from it because the previous owner left a passcode on it) and I had to enter my language,wi-fi stuff, and then it said "Activate iPod" I don't know the owners info! Help?

    I recently bought a used iPod touch generation 5 and reset it (erased everything from it because the previous owner left a passcode on it) and I had to enter my language,wi-fi stuff, and then it said "Activate iPod" This iPod is currently linked to an Apple ID (c*****@k*****.net). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPod. The man who sold it to me said he bought it from another guy and sold it to me..So, I don't know what to do! I searched it up and it said you could go to iCloud and iTunes, but It's not working for me. Please help!!
