So my son somehow enabled the passcode for our Ipod touch that we have. Of course we don't know what numbers he put in it so we were locked out of it. We never actually used it as a MP3 plaer so never had it connected to any of our computers, and until tonight we never even had Itunes downloaded. The ONLY way to get it unlocked in our situation was to do a restore and delete everything that we had on there. Probably had about $50 in apps that we had downloaded that we can't get back. Will have to pay the $13 to re-download the dynolicious app because it's pretty cool.
Ipods suck

you said he knew more about computers than most on this board. So if he knows a lot then he should not mess with other sections on the device. But wake up he is 4. He knows nothing about a computer but how to fuck it up like other 4 year old. If you think I am picking on his autism. Then you are mistaken I am not. Its your fault for not superving him. Your fault for him setting the password. So stop using excuses and blame others
Too late I have a 6 year old. He is not perfect and I don't make him out to be. He knew at 5 not to mess with my iPod and I let him play the games on it with me there watching him. If he gets off the game he tells me.. he knows not to mess with the settings.
He was the one being harsh on apple for his stupidity. Just pointing out the facts.

Just to clarify: this is a pic of the iTunes screen with my 80 gig video connected to iTunes. The last option is enable disk use.
This option does not show up with an iPhone 3Gs.
No. It the lack of the ability for people these days to explain something in a respectful, civil way. That's what I'm saying.
I don't need to supervise him 24/7. Parents who do that have kids that can't think on their own. I'm not blaming him he didn't know any better. Just think there needs to be better ways to get around the passcode. And he has his own computer that he uses in the house and the touch is only used when we go out. If you've never dealt with autism, then you have no clue on what he can and can't do so please just STFU about it. It's not my fault for him setting the passcode, but is probably my fault for not setting it myself. Of course I don't play with the touch that much myself and didn't even know there was one to set.
That's great, he knew how to use your ipod at age 5, mine knew how to use it when he was 3. And as I said before, I don't have to sit there and watch him all the time. I let him have a little more freedom than that. When he is done using it, he puts it back on the counter and goes and does other stuff. I don't think he is perfect either and am not blaming him for anything.
LOL I was ranting just to vent frustration. And I think it's stupid at how proprietary Apple makes most of it's products. If we wouldn't have gotten it through my wifes school courses she was taking I'd never own a ipod, iphone, or anything else from Apple.
I have a 3rd gen Ipod touch which is pretty much the same thing as the iphone minus the camera and phone features.Just to clarify: this is a pic of the iTunes screen with my 80 gig video connected to iTunes. The last option is enable disk use.

You know I have not once blamed his autism once for setting the password. Not once said his autism was to blame for anything. I said all 4 year old do shit like this. Your bringing his autism to light light here as an excuse for him justifying setting the password. All you had to say was my 4 year old set the password. Not my 4 year old with autism set the password. I could care less if your son has it or not like I am sure many on here feels the same. I think you only said it looking for sympathy.
I am glad he learned it at 3. My son learned the touch at 5 because I got it last year. He had a DS since he was 4 and my old advance at 3. I don't supervise him 24/7. But when it comes to a device that costs as much as the touch does. You really think most people will let a lil kid play with it on their own? This is how they get spilt with drinks,dropped and so on.
Maybe your son setting the password teaches you have to watch him a lil closer with the device and not because of his autism but that he is a 4 year old.
The only reason I brought up his autism because some people asked why he was even playing with it in the first place. It's a great aide to keep him from throwing huge fits. I never once used it as an excuse for him setting the passcode. Please stop trying to put words in my mouth. As far as getting drinks spilt on it, or dropped, he's a lot more responsible than that. No drinks outside the kitchen or dining room in the house and he's never dropped it, and I really wouldn't care if he did as it was free. He doesn't need watched closer just because he found a feature on the ipod that I didn't even know existed until he set it. Live and learn and move on. I already have and him and his younger sister have both been taking turns playing with it today.

Damn, why is everyone getting so fucking worked up over this?
His kid made a mistake, he blamed it on Apple. We corrected him, helped him out, yet people still feel like taking shots at him for being a bad parent or other shit.
If I had a nickel for everytime my younger siblings (ranging from 12-17) screwed up something software related, my dakota would be damn near paid off.

I don't respond to him normally, just saying certain folks are more incendiary than others... usually when he's involved in a thread, it gets nasty....ever wonder why?

I have the same problem I guess. Like I said, there is an ignore button so you never even have to see his posts unless you choose to. I have built my list back up to 2 ppl.
