tpbury Posted 7 July, 2012 Share Posted 7 July, 2012 Hi, my ditzy daughter changed the passcode on her ipod touch and neeedless to say forgot what it was. From trawling the interweb, it looks pretty impossible to get the ipods data back, seeing as we hadn't synched it with a pc. The only option seems to be to 'restore' the device which means wiping the photos and stuff she had on there. BTW, couldn't find any threads on here about this. Does anyone know of a way of getting this stuff back? There's a million similar questions on t'internet, but I thought I'd get a better response from a bunch of Saints fans! I figure that if it was evidence in a crime or something, a police teechnician would have it cracked in a few seconds, so any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Reggie Dunlop Posted 7 July, 2012 Share Posted 7 July, 2012 Was all the photo's and music videos etc that she had on the ipod did this come from her computer ? Because if she did sync across then she should be then able to copy it across again after reseting the ipod I would of thought. Itunes has a set folder that pictures, videos come from, apps will be in her purchase history so you cab get them back also. Hope this helps, someone on here will be able to give probably a better insight in to your exact question though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpbury Posted 7 July, 2012 Author Share Posted 7 July, 2012 Thanks for replying - it was never synched, so whilst we should be able to get the itunes purchases, we cant get the photos - unless somone can tell me different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She must've got the photos on there from a pc, as I thought ipods don't have a camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colehillsaint Posted 8 July, 2012 Share Posted 8 July, 2012 She must've got the photos on there from a pc, as I thought ipods don't have a camera? I think a "touch" does have a camera and wi-fi. It is halfway between a nano and an I phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colehillsaint Posted 8 July, 2012 Share Posted 8 July, 2012 Also, are you sure that you definetley need the passcode during syncing with your PC? If not you can just sync it now, and then reset it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpbury Posted 9 July, 2012 Author Share Posted 9 July, 2012 Thanks for your replies. For colehillsaint, iTunes doesn't like it when the ipod touch is locked, and yes it is a pretty good camera and video thing. I think we're going to lose all the photos she took, mindly most of them are stupid, teenage gurning in shops, so not the end of the world - but there are some photos and videos we'd like to save, but not going to be able to. Thanks for all your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancake Posted 11 July, 2012 Share Posted 11 July, 2012 Did she have Cloud services turned on? Also, if you havent cleaned the screen yet, tilt it and you might be able to see where the finger presses were for the code.,.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
