If you enter the password too many times it becomes disabled for security reasons. There is not a master code to unlock it. You will need to restore the ipod and reload from your library or from your back up.
Once at the computer you will need itunes open and your ipod connected
1) Make sure you have the latest vertion of itunes downloading
you can check this by going to { HELP>CHECK FOR UPDATES}
2)
On the ipod hold the sleep wake button at the top and the home button
on the bottom at the same time until you see the apple logo
3) Once you see the apple logo - release the sleep/wake button but remain holding the home button
4) You will see an error message from your computer
5) click ok - Then the restore button - the restore will take about 15- 20 minutes
Note: if you have previously backed up the ipod it will prompt you to restore from back up in the restore process
6) re -
sync your content after the restore is complete
7) after sync disconnect and use
I hoped this helped-
** NOTE: If you get an error while restoring the ipod try and restore from another computer ***
ipod says disabled
my i touch says it is disabled
All these instructions assume iTunes recognizes the iTouch. I get a message saying "iTunes could not connect to the iPod "name" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPod before it can be used with iTunes."
No amount of holding the button while plugging in the USB port will make the iTunes recognize the iPod, ergo can't restore.
Any other ideas?
Thx
