If you lock your iPod nano screen and can’t unlock it
Normally, if you can connect your iPod nano to the computer it is authorized to work with, your iPod nano automatically unlocks. If the computer authorized to work with your iPod nano is unavailable, you can connect iPod nano to another computer and use iPod Updater to restore your iPod software. See the next section for more information.
If you want to change the screen lock combination and you can’t remember the current combination, you must restore the iPod software, and then set a new combination.
Updating and Restoring iPod Software
You can use iPod Updater to update or restore your iPod software. Apple periodically updates iPod software to improve performance or add features. It is recommended that you update your iPod nano to use the latest software. You can also restore the software, which puts iPod nano back in its original state.
ÂIf you choose to update, the software is updated, but your settings and songs are not affected.
ÂIf you choose to restore, all data is erased from your iPod nano, including songs, files, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. All iPod nano settings are restored to their original state.
To update or restore iPod nano with the latest software:
1Go to www.apple.com/support/ipod and download the latest iPod Update. The update has the latest software for all models of iPod.
2
3Connect iPod nano to your computer and open iTunes. The iPod Updater application opens.
If you’re using a Windows PC and the iPod Updater application doesn’t open automatically, you can find the updater by choosing Start > All Programs > iPod.
4Follow the onscreen instructions to update or restore iPod software.
If you use the iPod Updater application and it doesn’t recognize that iPod nano is connected to your computer, reset iPod nano (see page 45).
If you want to restore iPod software and you don’t have an Internet connection, you can use the iPod Updater application that was installed on your computer when you installed the software from the iPod CD.
