I have just restored my ipod touch after being disabled. Now it is asking for pasword, can I cancel this so I don't have to use a password?

I have just restored my ipod touch after being disabled. Now it is asking for the passcode? I still cant remember the passcode. How do I go past this?

You'll have connect in recovery mode and set it up "as new ipod" http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
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 and iPod touch software.
If the issue continues after updating and restoring your device, refer to this document.

White screen on iPod Touch

Is there an "Apple recommended" way to recover from the stuck "white screen" on iPod Touch?

Yes. See the white screen topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting

White screen on ipod touch tried holding sown bjuttons nothing working ned help

white screen on ipod touch. tried holding buttons. dont work. need help.

If your iPod is covered (insured) I would suggest taking it to Best Buy and see if there is anything they can do for you. Maybe try plugging it into iTunes and see what happens.

White screen on ipod touch can not turn it off.

White screen on ipod touch 4th gen 8 gb and cannot turn it off

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

Touch screen not working on iPod Touch (after I dropped it in a fish tank)?

Hello,
I dropped my brand new iPod Touch into my fish tank while it was on. It stayed on for a few seconds but shut down before I was able to get it out. Besides the obvious water damage, it also suffered three cracks across the screen.
I immediately dried it with towels and stood it up to let the water drain out. When no more water was dripping out of the charging port on its own, I took to blowing into both the charging port and the earphone jack myself until there were no more water droplets coming out. When that was finished, I buried my iPod in a bowl of rice for 4 days.
Today I took my iPod out, and tried to turn it on. Nothing happened, so I plugged it into my charging dock. The white Apple icon appeared, as if it were about to turn on, but went black after about 30 seconds. This repeated itself many times until finally, to my surprise, the lock screen came on! I was so excited that it finally started working, and swiped my finger across the "Slide to Unlock" bar. Nothing happened... puzzled, I tried again. It will not let me type in my code or anything, the touch screen is not responding.
Any ideas?
I at least want to get it to sync with my computer so that I can get my data on there before having to replace my iPod, I do not want to lose everything (for the second time).
Thank you so much in advance for any tips or advice that you can offer at this time.

First read this representative suggestion on saving your soaked Touch:
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_fix_an_iPod_that_fell_in_water
If you used your Touch like most users, you sync the tunes via iTunes. That means all the audio and video is saved to your hard disk - which is great news. Your documents are preserved. On the other hand, if you don't use iTunes, I'm not sure I can help.
Do you sync your Touch?

White Screen on iPod Touch app store, NOT ITUNES.

I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation running on iOS 6 and the App Store application recently stopped working on it. Everything else is running perfectly, it still has internet connection and everything, but nothing will load on the App Store. When you open the application it's just a white screen, no loading circle or anything, you can click on the five categories on the bottom still (Featured, Charts, Genius, Search, and Updates), but they are all just a white screen, with the exception of the "Search" option. When you go to search, everything is still white, but the gray search bar is still available and when you type in items it still auto finds matches for the keyword you're searching, but when you actually press search, nothing happens.
I heard restoring the iPod might work, and that a lot of other people are having this problem, but it's happened to numerous people and I feel as if after the restore it might just come back.

Try a reset, and if that fails, try again while in the appstore. No data is erased.
To reset the device:
Hold the power button and the home button down until the device shuts off, then power it back on and see if the problem is resolved.
