iPod Touch 6th Generation: How to bypass password and do a total factory reset

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 09:26:45 -0700

I found an I pod touch, model A1421 , in parking lot. Its password protected so how do I bypass password and do a total factory reset ? Ive never owned or used anything Apple before, but did just create an I Tunes account because according to most articles I will need to connect to it to do a restore. However, keep getting error messages.

iPod Touch 4th Generation: Why is my iPod touch freaking out?

Fri, 20 Mar 2020 22:57:24 -0700

My ipod touch is making a ''little box" around every app I touch and i have to double-tap for the app to start. It also won't let me scroll down on anything(ex. settings, safari pages, etc.)Another thing it has done is rarely let me get to my second page of apps. My ipod also shouts out everything I do so if I'm entering my passcode it shouts out the numbers of it, and a more annoying one is when my screen is locked...

In wrap up it has...

1: A little box around each thing I touch...
2: I have to double tap to get to the thing I want to get...
3: No scrolling down...
4: Rare access to my second page of apps...
5: Shouts out everything I type...

iPod Classic: Why does my iPod show a red "x" in a circle?

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 17:57:37 -0700

My 80 GB iPod Classic shows a red "x" in a circle and won't go into disk mode. Does that mean the hard drive is bad? It happened when I connected it to my computer and upgraded iTunes to 9. I am using Windows XP.

iPod Classic: Dead iPod- NOT the battery

Fri, 17 Feb 2023 08:45:49 -0700

iPod won't turn on, regardless of whether or not it is plugged into anything. The battery life is still in really good shape and was fully charged at the time it stopped working. Had walked to work with it on, left it in pocket, took off coat, then took out iPod to use in an audio system and it wouldn't turn on. Seems improbable it could randomly die in 5 minutes...

iPod Touch 4th Generation: Restoring iPod that is disabled and also has a broken power button!

Wed, 23 May 2018 02:17:49 -0700

I'm in the possession of an iPod 4th Gen that has a broken power button and is completely passcode disabled.

Is there any possible way to restore it?

You can not use itunes as it will complain about the passcode and I cant manually put it in DFU mode as the power button is broken.

Programs such as Tiny Umbrella and Rec Boot will not recognise the device since it is passcode disabled?

Help... lol

iPod Classic: My iPod will only play through one headphone?

Tue, 06 Aug 2024 08:03:01 -0700

I have a 160 GB iPod Classic, bought just over a year ago... so, the warranty is no longer in effect. Basically, my headphones jack is messed up. Sound will only come out the left ear. If I press the headphones against the left side of the jack it will play correctly, but I have to hold it there in order for it to work. Is this fixable? Or should I just go ahead and buy a new one?

iPod 5th Generation (Video): O Death, where is thy Sting? (or Bono)

Sat, 11 Feb 2012 06:29:04 -0700

My 60GB 5th generation iPod was working just fine – for years – but the other day it joined the choir invisible, shuffled off its mortal coil, went to meet its maker. This iPod appears to be an ex-iPod: it's bleeding' demised.

This bucket-kicking was not preceded by a dropping accident, extreme temperature, nor battery run-down – just a sudden "F#ck you! I'm not going to work anymore!"

I've tried to charge it (multiple times) for multiple hours, tried to reset it multiple times (and, yeah, I know the drill), but nothing. Absolutifactually nothing.

Question: should I simply give up? #$^#, I hate throwing stuff into the e-landfill if it's fixable, but this iPod has all the hallmarks of a hardware failure that might not be recoverable.

Any suggestions?
