Hi I recently received an Ipod Nano from a friend and I set it up and everything worked great. I just locked the screen and I can't unlock it. I called my friend and he said that he forgot the 4 digit combination. Does anyone have a quick fix for this?
From the link Noggin posted I was able to unlock my iPod: Here is some brief explanation: 1. Connect iPod to your computer, it have to be the same one you used the first time to sync your iPod. 2. open iTunes. 3. disconnect iPod from the computer 4. It should no longer be locked. 5. Change the 4 digit passcode If this doesn't work you will have to restore it back to factory settings: 1. Make a backup, the restore process will delete all your songs and files! 2. Connect your iPod to the computer and wait until your itunes detects it. 3. Click the restore button and follow the instructions. * I have never done the restore process so I cannot help you further...

When I plug my ipod into my computer, it doesn't show up anywhere. Neither in "My Computer" or itunes. I'm running Windows XP Professional. I've tried resetting and forcing it to disk mode, reinstalling itunes, changed USB ports, and all the other possible solutions offered by the help web site. It was suggested that I take it to an Apple store for repair. It still plays music and videos that are downloaded on it, it just won't sync up with itunes.I have more music and videos that I wish to install on it.
I struggled with this issue for a while and finally found a post that helped me. Hold menu and the center buttons until the iPod turns off. Then, immediately hold the left and center buttons to pull up the iPod diagnostic menu. Scroll down to the option "Reset" and select it. My iPod was finally recognized by iTunes. Good luck :)

Hiya, I was wondering if you had any ideas on how to solve the problem I'm having with my sons 3rd Gen ipod? The screen is white when turned on and I cannot see any writing or icons. The ipod is recognised in itunes, plays the tunes on it and can be updated. Tried the 5 R's, I get a dark line across the screen but nothing else(different positions!) I've checked, unlugged and reconnected the connections inside and they seem to be fine. I was going to buy a screen replacement but don't want to go to the expense if its not faulty. I've checked around the net and apart from 'Zolved', can't find anything useful. I would be grateful for any suggestions you might have, thanks Gill
Reset the iPod:
If the reset doesn't help, then put the iPod into forced disk mode.
Put iPod into Disk Mode:
Apple suggests that you ensure your iPod is charged before following
the next step. How exactly you check a charge on an iPod screen that
is completely white has yet to be revealed. But hey, give it a shot
anyway. Plug the iPod into a high-powered USB port, let it sit for 2
hours, then disconnect it. If you have a wall charger, plug in the
iPod, then follow these steps while it is still plugged in.
For a lot of people, this solves the problem. Connect the iPod to the
computer and (assuming it shows up) reset the iPod again to get it out
of Disk Mode. If at this point you still have the white screen,
restore the iPod using the restore function in iTunes under the Summary
tab (this will erase everything on the iPod and put it at factory
settings).
Don't disconnect or eject the iPod until the store is totally done. After you think it's done, wait another five minutes.

HELP!!! I have tried everything! I can't un lock the volume lock, that appears on screen when I adjust the wheel to the far right/maximum volume. I have tried entering two, different default codes... 1234 & 0000 and still no luck... CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?
First make sure your hold switch isn't on. It's on the top or bottom and slides
back and forth. It needs to be switched to the left. Once it is to the
left, here's how you reset:
You can reset your ipod by holding down the menu and select (round
button in the center) buttons down for at least 10 seconds. You'll see
an apple logo flash, that's when you stop pressing the buttons. It will
shut off, then back on.
If that doesn't work, try a restore. This will return it go factory settings.
How to restore iPod

I can not navigate through my ipod nano because the center button and click wheel is not working. The only thing I can control is the volume level, thats it. Its like only the center button and click wheel is locked. Please help its only a year and 2months old.
Yes, well the exact thing it happening to me. What you could do and see if it works is this: Turn the Screen Lock on, off, and hold the center button and the Menu button. This will hard reset the iPod and use the origonal settings from when you first got your iPod. The second Tip: Take off all of the software, songs, games, ect. in iTunes and reset ALL the settings in iTunes. If this doesn't doesnt work (which it should), your iPod is broken and you need a new click wheel or center button.

how can I unlock my ipod nano when I forgot the password and lost the cd that came with it
First, try to restore using iTunes. If this doesn't work, place your iPod in disk mode (hold the menu and center buttons down togther) and as soon as you see the Apple symbol come up hold the center and play (bottom) buttons down together until you see a check mark (disk mode). It may take a few trys.
Now connect your iPod to your computer. Go to my computer and right click the drive associate with your iPod (for example F: ) and scroll down to FORMAT. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT - CHOOSE FAT32 and then check the "Quick Format" box. After you do this then use iTunes to Restore your iPods another time.
