In order for it to function after you reset it, you *NEED* the password to the iCloud account linked to the iPod. If you don't have it, the iPod is useless beyond that point. I have shown you how to reset it, *not to bypass the activation lock.*
Well thank you! I had spent half an hour following links that didn't tell me how to restore an iPod whose password was forgotten. Then I found yours and the problem is solved.
There are no amount of words I can use to tell you thank you 🙏🏾 I’m so grateful I have had this iPod since 2016 and now I can finally use it, thank you definitely subscribed and will follow ❤️❤️
Oh my gosh, I'm going to cry. I have exams tmrw and my teacher lets us listen to music. I lost my new iPod 2 days ago and am super bummed about it. I was desperate and started watching videos on how to restore my old iPod. I had no faith because I've tried so many times in the past. I don't know why is worked this time but, it did. THANK YOU! ❤️
Thnx so much I had this iPod for about a year and it was blocked and now because of you I can finally give this to my little sister for her b’day which is coming soon
Mine was stuck on Activation Lock. I followed the directions and now iTunes says it's in recovery mode, but I don't see it doing anything. My phone still has the iTunes symbol and cord symbol on it...hoping it will work.
this helped too much i had this iPod for so long not knowing what to do with it and my little brother wanted it, i followed the steps now he's so happy
You bloody legend!!!! Thank you 🙏🏻 We just recently found my daughters iPod and as it had been nearly 2yrs since we thought she’d lost it she’d forgotten the passcode.
Thank you soooo much for posting this!! My iPod went blank last night and no amount of button-pushing would wake it up. I thought I was going to have to buy a new one. (arrgh!) Then I watched your video. Even though I wasn't at home with my computer, I thought I would try it anyway...what's the harm, right? So I held the home button (1, 2, 3 count) and plugged it in...and it came on!! All of my music was still there!! Thanks again!!
Omg i been searching everywhere on the Internet for help, on the Apple website…everywhere!!!!! Finally something that helped me… my 3 year old daughter locked my iPod a year ago, it wasn’t connected to the wifi and it wasn’t being identified by iTunes!!! It is currently downloading the software which says it’s gonna take 27 hours but it is time for me to go to sleep. I feel like it’s Christmas Eve, eager for tomorrow ❤️thanks Update: ok so I woke up and it said the exact same thing “iPod disabled connect to iTunes.” The software did download on the computer though. So I repeated the process and it looks like the iPod is responding to the update! We will see 🤞
Guys! I know it didn’t work for a lot of you because I seen something in the video.... he got a new iPod touch cause look at the home button in the beginning and then look at it at the end....
So I uploaded the original iPod reset video 3 years ago and since then the home button has broken. At the beginning of this video, I said I will be mixing in clips from the old video as well as the new one. So that's why in some of the clips it's a perfectly new iPod and others the home button is broken. I know alot of people are saying it's not working but there are also alot of comments thanking me because it does work. I don't know why it's working for some but not others. When I find out, I'll make an updated video with the solution, Hope this clears things up :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I am 10 watching this I have a ipod and I forgot the password because I have not used it for 3 months! So my parents had trouble resseting it without the password. so this helped a lot and I can finally add my friends and facetime them even though most are in hawaii!
Thank you very much it worked and I have been having my iPod for years like seven years locked and I have not been able to unlock it until I saw your video thanks very much for your video
Oh my goodness Finally!!! You are a life saver honestly. You deserve my like lol. Its restarting now. I thought I was never going to get it and was literally about to gave up. Your video was the first one I clicked on. Should have done this sooner. Thanks again!! :)
my brother got a phone a couple of years ago, and we lost the ipod and finally found it after 3 years and I can't get a phone, he also forgot the password to the ipod, And he said I can keep it! So thanks so much this video helped me :)
thanks man. This worked great. I was abe to use the apple devices app instead of Itunes and it still worked. I have my faters old I-pod that I plan on taking to the lake where ther is no internet and no cell coverage. thanks again
Hi! This is not working for me.......powering off, holding home button, plugging in lightning cable while holding home button, itunes is open....message I get in itunes is it can't connect until passcode is entered. Does not go into recovery mode. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!
I done ever single step and it didn’t work and I’ve tried it multiple times and it never worked I’ve been trying to get it to work for months now and it still hasn’t worked all it done was lock it in the iTunes logo thing if you can please respond on how to fix it I’ve tried everything and I really need your help
Thanks i jailbroke my device deleted a system file them needed to erase then restore but i didnt know how to put it in revovery mode now im putting the files on the ipod and it worked :) thank you heres a sub and a like
Followed your instructions, however, when I select restore ipod, next restore and update I receive a pop-up stating ipod was previously in DFU but is no longer in DFU mode. So disconnect and place ipod back into DFU mode. Not sure what DFU mode is or how to get to it. Please advise. Thank you.
Helped me very much the only thing to let people know is in iTunes the loading bar for me was at the top in the middle of the window so look out for that might be a newer or older version not sure but works thanks
This didnt work for it said iTunes could not connect to the iPod Touch because it is locked with a passcode. You much enter your passcode on the ipod touch before it can be used with iTunes. Do you have any advice?
In order for it to function after you reset it, you *NEED* the password to the iCloud account linked to the iPod. If you don't have it, the iPod is useless beyond that point. I have shown you how to reset it, *not to bypass the activation lock.*
TSP -so...i just bought a 5th gen at thrift store...i dont know the password, will it work if connected to ANYONES iTunes account?
Lost my ipod 5 months ago and i just found it today!
BUT! It's disabled for 23,600,00 minutes.
