recently my ipod touch 2nd generation screen hasnt been turning on at all,i've tried the home screen button and power button but even that doesnt work,... i have updated my itunes to the newest version but i cannot sync it without unlocking my passcode how can i go into recovery mode or simply back up my ipod if there is no way to unlock it?
iPod touch, Windows 7
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
If either the Home or Power buttons do not work use this program to get the iPod in recovery mode.
so if i were to try the DFU mode would i have to turned off the ipod then opening my itunes?
Leave iTunes open on the computer, turn off the iPod and place in DFU mode.
thanks for the help. it was very useful. i have a few other questiions if thats ok, now that i was able to unlock my ipod and sync it into my itunes, for some reason when ever i want to sync it on another day it wont show up on itunes and or my pc will not detect that it found the ipod hardware...any suggestions on what i should do?
