Cannot connect ipod to itunes as it has been disabled for 22,000,000 minutes

I cannot seem to complete step 5 from the link given when an ipod has been locked out for 22, 000, 000 minutes.  Itunes will not automatically recognize my device.

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.

    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 you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:

    Hi Stephanie,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you're going to have to put the iPad in to recovery mode before you can restore it. The article linked below provides more details about the passcode lock and will walk you through putting the process of restoring from recovery mode.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Use recovery mode
    Follow these steps if you never synced your device with iTunes, if you don't have Find My iPhone set up, or if you can't get to your own computer. You'll need to put your device in recovery mode, which will erase the device and its passcode. Then you'll restore your device as new or from a backup.
    Disconnect all cables from your device.
    Turn off your device.
    Press and hold the Home button. While holding the Home button, connect your device to iTunes. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
    Click OK, then restore the device.
    Cheers!
    -Jason

  • HT4356 I am trying to print wirelessly from my ipad to an epson stylus SX438W. The connection appears fine on both devices but the ipad cannot connect to the printer. It has been working fine for the past 4 months. Can anyone help?

    I am trying to print wirelessly from my ipad to an epson stylus SX438W. The connection appears fine on both devices but the ipad cannot connect to the printer. It has been working fine for the past 4 months. Can anyone help?

    Have you tried restarting the printer? Reboot the iPad as well.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • My girlfriend's ipod classic's earphone socket has been disabled/blocked?

    my girlfriend's ipod classic's earphone socket has been disabled/blocked by a glass bubble which has mysteriously appeared from nowhere. Any idea how to solve?

    No. That's because you cannot connect an iDevice using one Apple ID to another iTunes Library based on a different Apple ID. Now your iTunes Library has lost all your data.
    Learned this lesson the hard way. All iDevices are intended for a single user and connect to their private iTunes Library on their computer in their user account. If you want to have both of your devices syncing on one computer then you must have and use two separate user accounts - one for you and one for her - and don't try to mix and match.

  • I'm getting the error message "Photos folder syncing has been disabled for the iPhone my iPhone because the folder "Pictures" cannot be found."

    I'm getting the error message "Photos folder syncing has been disabled for the iPhone <my iPhone> because the folder "Pictures" cannot be found." lately.
    Normally, all I do with photos is move them from my iPhone to my computer's (Windows 7) hard drive. I do this by connecting the iPhone with the cable, a box pops up on the screen asking me what I want to do, and I choose "Import pictures and videos". I've previously selected the "delete photos from the device after move" option (or however it's worded...), simply because I don't want this device to fill up with photos.
    Lately, it has been importing the photos fine, but it won't delete them from the iPhone. This used to work just fine, now it doesn't work and I don't know what changed, if anything. In iTunes, I get the error message I list at the beginning of this message.
    How do I fix this?

    Hi there scarbo59,
    You mentioned that you are still able to import without issues, but you may still want to run through the troubleshooting steps outlined in the article below.
