iTunes and iPod issues

I have been trying for days just to get into my iPod. I haven't used it in quite sometime because I recently got a samsung phone. Apples iTunes literally makes me want to stab myself. I now remember why i switched.


  1. I forgot my pass code so i cannot unlock it to let it sync to itunes
  2. i have a new computer and not the original one i previously synced it to
  3. my home button is broken i cant put it into recovery mode
  4. I've tried recboot and spent hours trying to get it to work.
  5. ive tried to download later versions but since i had the newest version installed nothing will work.


I'm getting unbelievably furious with itunes for being so dumb. 😠 is there anything i can do or should i just give up and toss it?

is there any way to get past the responding on the ipod to let the ipod sync? thats literally the only thing thats stopping me.

If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.

otherwise it appears yo have hardware problem besides the button since Recboot does not work
