WHAT DO YOU WHEN YOU CANT UNLOCK YOUR IPOD

What do you do when you can not unlock your ipod?

Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes. You may have to place the iPod in recovery mode to restore it. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
More information as to the current status of the iPod and what you tried would have been useful.

Oh - I see that you have that article linked to your post above. Read the entire paragraph in item #1. It tells you what to do if it is asking for a passcode.

HT1420 Absolutely useless!!!! clicked on store to authorize my computer and I DO NO SEE "Authorize this computer" anywhere. Not going to purchase songs using itunes anymore. Whats the point when I cant transfer them.

You are looking at the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes (on a PC with iTunes 11 press alt-S and the Store drop-down should appear) ? e.g.

There is a voice over in my Ipad 2 and i cant unlock my ipad using my passcode

Please Help! i just updated my Ipasd2 and there is this in accesibility, that made me in trouble. there is a voice over in my Ipad, whenever i touched it. and there i cant unlocked my Ipad. Help!

Is this what you said? :
You updated your iPad 2 to iOS 6. You were playing with accessibility (or turned it on accidentally) and turned voiceover on. Now you can't unlock your iPad.
Do you know how to use the iPad in VoiceOver mode? First tap on what you would normally tap on. Then double tap anywhere on the screen. To unlock the iPad, tap on the "Slide to Unlock" bar. Double tap. Tap on the first character in your passcode. Double tap. Etc.
To turn off voiceover (even without unlocking the iPad), triple tap the home button. tap on VoiceOver. Double tap.

Hi Ahmed,
In iTunes, go to the Store in the left menu, select iTunes Store, wehn it opens, make sure you are on the home screen (icon of a house in the menu bar) and from the righthand side, select Account.
Next you will see all of your account information. Just a little don, you will find: Apple ID overview, there it says, Authorised computers; click on the button to deauthorise.
And you should be done.
Grtz, Carl.

i had a pop up on my screen saying i hadnt backed up in 4 weeks i hit ok and the pop up wont go away and now another with the same message has appeared and that wont go either, i cant unlock the ipad because of these and i dont think it's backing up properly either
HELP!!

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

HT1212 my phones touch scren is no longer able to be used. i am trying to sync what i have now on there so i can transfer it to my new phone when i get it. how do i do that when i cant unlock it?

my phones touch screen isnt working. im trying to sync everything to my laptop. since i cant unlock my phone, i cant sync it. what do i do?

The tip that you were reading when you posted this was about forgetting the phone's passcode. If that is what has happened the only way to recover data is already described in that tip, by restoring the phone on the last computer you synced it to. If it is asking for your passcode then you are not using that computer. The only option is to restore the phone from Recovery Mode as a new phone. All content will be lost. If you have an iCloud backup you can then restore from that.

I have a message on my ipad saying ipad is not backed up. back ups happen when this i pad is plugged in locked and connected to wi-fi. cant get on ipad and dont know what to do as i am new to ipad. can someone help?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold both Power and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use it again.
The Power button is the one that you use to put your iPad in sleep mode (at the top of the iPad), and the Home button is at the bottom of the screen

Impossible to say without full details about your setup and the exact nature of the problem. If you'll post back and completely describe your situation, including what steps you've taken to try and address the problem, I'm sure someone here can offer suggestions.

What is lost when resetting all settings on iPad

What is lost when resetting all settings on ipad2

This is copied from the iPad User Guide for 4.3 - the book version that can be downloaded from iBooks.
Reset all settings: Choose General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
Enter your passcode if you have one. All your settings are reset. Information (such as your contacts and calendars) and media (such as your songs and videos) aren’t deleted.
Essentially, you reset preferences like the way that you had brightness set, your home screen layout, WiFi settings, sounds, alerts, that type of thing. It will reset those things to the factory settings - just like it was out of the box.

Do you have your idebar showing?. To bring it up follow the steps below:
Windows

If you already have your sidebar up have you tried another lightning cable?. This would confirm whether or not it is the cable at fault.

HT1766 how can i get pictures of my iphone with a smashed screen when i cant unlock it help me please

partner smashed her screen trying to get stuff of it but she ahs a screen lock so it wont connect to itunes how can i get around this please help

You can't unforunately; if iTunes won't detect the device the /BEST/ thing you can do on a windows computer is go to the Start Menu > Computers > and check to see if the windows computer had detected the device as a camera, if yes; Lucky you, If no; you're outta luck
