Well, I forgot my iPod password and now my iPod says "iPod is Disabled Connect to iTunes". I've tried to restore it but every time I go onto iTunes, it tells me to put in my password. Also, my home button is broken so I can't put it into DFU mode. HELP!!!!!
iPod touch, iOS 5.0.1
I can't put it into DFU (recovery) mode because my home buton is broken.
Use this program to place in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes
Force your iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.
I've already tried that, but when I click on "Put iPhone into Recovery Mode" it says "QTMLClient.dll not found".
My home button doesn't work.
Try the Tiny Umbrella program top place the iPod in recovery mode
Can you give me more specific instructions?????
Dowload the program and follow the instructions on the website.
Just to help others that may find themselves in my situation...
I have solved my problem. I used the instructions on this site: http://geekindisguise.wordpress.com/2009/07/16/how-to-put-ipod-touch-iphone-into -dfu-mode/
My phone was displaying Recovery Mode and I was stuck in a Recovery Mode loop. Using these instructions I put it into DFU Mode, directly from Recovery Mode (while connected to my PC). As I did this, my computer installed a driver for my iPhone and said it was "Ready to Use" in a Windows pane. I then tried the "Restore iPhone" button in iTunes again and after it worked! It downloaded the update and restored the phone to factory settings. I had backed up my phone last night (I backup my data locally on my PC) so I got all of my data back.
Follow the instructions on that site and you're golden. It took me a couple tries to get the timing of the holding of the buttons.
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
