What do i do if my ipod put on a passcode of its own?

One application kept quitting on my, so I turned off my iPod and waited a couple minutes and turned it on to try again.  When I turned it on, it told me to enter a passcode.  I never set a passcode for it.  I tried the password I set, but was not activated and my iTunes password, but neither one will work.  I tried turning it off and on a couple times, but it still has a passcode.  I tried simple passwords, but those won't work either.  What do I do?

Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod

  • Is it true that the ipod touch 5th gen bends on its own? I mean if i put it in my front pocket or in my bag?

    so I just got a new itouch 5g cause a lot of people said it was great and they've said that it has a stronger build than that of the 4g. So is it true that if I put my touch in my front pocket it will bend on its own? cosidering that maybe I wear pants that have tight pockets.

    I've not seen any objective comparisons that tested the bend resistance, so I can't offer any sort of opinion. I would expect either iPod to be subject to bending if kept in your pocket when you sit down. That's a lot of stress and leverage. I've even seen keys bend, and they're harder to bend than an electronic device.
    My advice; don't keep your iPod in your pocket.
    Regards.

  • Ipod Nano Turns off/on on its own

    hey guys.
    My ipod nano works like a champ, but all of a sudden it has started turning on all on its own. It also wont charge when its hooked up to the alarm clock/dock.
    weird.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help!

    Make sure the battery is charged.
    When the iPod shuts itself off, try "resetting" ..
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • IPod mini goes into pause on its own

    My iPod mini goes into pause mode on its own even though the lock is on. I have to then, unlock and press play to continue. Any idea if this is a hardware or software bug. Thanks.

    I have the same problem. It is indeed the headphone connection. Sometimes I just barely touch the jack and it pauses, very inconvenient for a mobile device!!! Is there any way to cancel this stupid function? I am old enough to turn my ipod off after use and when I forget it, I will just recharge it. Excuse my sarcasm, but I hate function that are only noticed when causing problems. For now I have to get off my bike and press play everytime the cord moves a nanometer!

  • Ipod doesn't switch off on its own

    Hello,
    I have a black Ipod 60GB and it doesn't switch off on its own. I know that the old Ipods will switch off on their own if you are not using it for more than a couple of minutes. So I thought the 5th generation would do that as well but mine doesn't and it's really annoying. Does anyone know if 5th generation Ipod should do that? And if yes, in which part of the menu can I set that option?
    Thanks.

    Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions
    The iPod will turn off after 1 minute if there is a song on pause, or if there is nothng playing.

  • Ipod touch 4th gen restores on its own

    hello, the last few times that my ipod has died when i charged it again i find that it is completely restored on its own [asking me to plug into itunes]
    i'm not sure why this is happening? i was wondering if this happened to anyone else?
    i've been trying to not to let it die so that it doesn't happen

    That happens sometimes. An iPod goes into Connect to iTunes when it encounters an error. It did not "restore". The screen is telling yo to connect the iPod to your computer so you can restore via iTunes.

  • IPod Touch reverting to "home" on its own

    Hi, i've been using my iPod Touch for several months now and all of a sudden it has begun reverting to the "home" screen on its own during music playback. so, the music will stop and it will bring up my home screen, all on its own. anyone else experienced this and know how to solve the problem?
    thanks a lot

    Hi monster-0 and welcome to  Discussions Forum!
    Your iPod is crashing constantly . Well, in this case, avoid using several features at the same time,
    like browsing Safari while you're listening to music (if it's your case).
    One thing you could also try is to turn you iPod completly off (press and hold the sleep button) more often.
    If the problem persists, I would recommend you to reset it and re-sync all your content to the iPod.
    However you must note that these situations sometimes are normal in certain circumstances...
    Hope this helps!

  • I need to put a web page in its own folder

  • XML Parser puts HTML Tags each on its own line... BAD

    Is there a way to tell Oracle XML Parser not to place each HTML tag on a separate line in the output stream? It appears that this is what is causing what I will call "dog-legging". The normal dotted line that surrounds an image on an HTML browser page has an extra protrusion in the lower-right corner under IE 4.x. A hyphen appers in the lower right corner under NN 4.x.
    any information that you good folks could provide me on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave Reese

    The way to avoid this is to specifically request that the HTML output be generated without indentation. Just include the
    following at the top-level of your stylesheet inside the outermost <xsl:stylesheet> element:
    <xsl:output method="html" indent="no"/>

  • Ipod Classic 120G keeps rebooting on its own

    I bought this new ipod 120g classic and it keeps on rebooting by itself randomly. This happens like around four to five times a day. When I click something it turns off and just shows that apple logo sign for a while. Is there a solution to this problem? I have done the software updates but doesnt seem to handle it

    I have the same issue. My brand new iPod Classic was working fine with firmware 2.0. I just synched up and downloaded the 2.0.1 update, and the thing has rebooted in its dock 3 times in the last 20 minutes.
    Model is an MB562. Thats the generation 2 iPod Classic. Its two weeks old.
