Without know exactly what you did or what happened:
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I forgot my ipod touch's passcode and it died. After a couple months i pulled it back up and it was locked out for 21 million minutes and i looked it up on the internet and couldnt fix it with anything. I then took it to geek squad and they couldnt even fix it. Dfu mode wont work, cant connect it to itunes, cant restore or recover it. Please help me.
Use Device Firmware Mode...
1. Turn off your ipod To do this, hold the home and sleep buttons for 10 seconds, ignore slide to power off message.
2. Release the power button when you see the apple logo (keep holding the home button)
3. Keep holding until you see a message.
Now restore from a backup!
Alternatively you can wait! -
IPod touch is disabled for 27,543,808 minutes
My iPod touch was taken by my sister and cousins. They tried to guess my password on various occasions and now it has been locked for 27,532,808 minutes. Which is about 55 years or something.
I have tried to do a forced restart, where I have held down the sleep button and the middle button to restart the iPod, and then continued to hold down the home button, which then shows me the screen "connect to iTunes" on the iPod itself. However, my laptop, isn't the laptop the iPod was last synced with.
The iPod doesn't pop up on iTunes, it just simply stays on the "connect to iTunes" screen and does nothing.
I really need my iPod as I'm going on holiday Friday, and I can't be without music! Please help!!Did you get the iPod in recovry mode: does it show the iTunes logo and USB plug? If not see if this program will get the iPod in recovery mode:

Next see if DFU mode will get iTunes to see the iPod:

please help me please to reset my security question i forgot them?
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

You have to restore and thus erase your iPod. that is how it works.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

My daughter's ipod touch is disabled for the next 43 years. Any hints on how to fix this? I have followed the steps listed on the apple website to p lace it into recovery mode, but the ipod is now "stuck" on the connect to itunes part. Thanks!
Sounds like a case of entering an incorrect passcode over and over. Only fix is to follow the instructions in that article you reference, HT1212, and it may take a couple tries to get it to work right.

My ipod touch has lost touch with my itunes account. I appear to have lost all my audiobooks from itunes and a nook I downloaded from audible.com last week is on my itunes but I cannot syn it to my ipod. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes but this did not work and I now have a different screen with itunes which I am not familiar with. I need my ipod for audiobooks and podcasts because I have a visual impairment.
iTunes 11 does some thinks differently. See:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
or
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Also
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar -
