How do I enable an iPod touch without the original sync'ed computer? (and keep the music and files)

My iPod got disabled, but my computer is broken so all I have is a computer that isn't sync'ed to my iPod. Everytime I connect it to the computer, it tells me to respond on the iPod so I can sync it, however I can't respond on the iPod; it being disabled and all. I want to enable it without actually restoring it so I can keep all my music and pictures. If my music is deleted from my iPod, I won't get it back anytime soon due to my broken computer. Also, I can't use iCloud to get my music because most of it is from cd's and not connected to iCloud, so I really don't want to loose it.

Yo have to restore and thus erase the iPod. It is a security feature

That is not supported by Apple. If you are getting a network timeout error, disabling the computer's security software usuallys resolves that error.

How do I enable my ipod touch if I have forgotten my passcode?

How can I enable my ipod touch if I have forgotten my passcode? I can't restore it from itunes because it is locked.

Hold down the sleep/off button for three seconds. Then keep holding it, and push the home button and old both for 10 seconds. The screen should go black about 6 seconds into that. After that, let go of the sleep button and keep holding the home button for 10 seconds. This will force the iPod into DFU mode, and you can restore it in iTunes. If at first you don't succeed, try again, because the timing can be tricky.

How to do enable my ipod touch when passcode is unknown?

My 4yo son had figured out how to set a passcode and disabled his ipod touch since he doesn't know it. How do I get his ipod to enable and unlock without a passcode.I want to set it up so he cannot do this again. I read the ipod manual online that I understand this problem requires me to restore the ipod. How do I start this process?

How do I enable an iPod Touch 5 for disk use?

Bit of background as to why I wish to do this: I've made a voice memo and I want to get the WAV file from my iPod Touch 5 to my drive. As this apparently necessitates the use of iTunes (Ver. 12.0.1.26) I knew I was in for an interesting time and so it has proved....
The following steps to try and bring this about are all referenced from here -> Using your iPod as a storage drive - Apple Support.
The fun begins at step 5 when it transpires that to get the voice memo file off an iPod Touch 5 I have to get my Mac Mini to recognise the iPod as a drive.
As opposed to selecting "Enable disk use", which apparently is not an option for my iPod Touch 5, I selected "Manually manage music and videos." Then, according to step 6, "The iPod disk icon appears on the desktop and in Finder windows....". Lo and behold I selected "Manually manage music and videos." .....
....and yet my iPod is still not visible as a device.
Any advice re how I get my Mac Mini to recognise the iPod as a drive or how to get the files off my iPod by alternate means would be appreciated. Just one caveat - I would prefer a solution that doesn't require syncing iTunes up to my Mac Mini at any point.
Cheers.

Try using an app like the free iFunBox. iOS devices like the iPod touch do not support Disk Mode

How can I deactivate an Ipod touch without using it? (Broken screen)

I was given the new Ipod Touch 4th gen for Christmas and my 2yr old daughter threw it in the dogs water dish. It was completely covered with water, and the screen would no longer light up but I could see it was still working.. So I left it out to dry for a few days but my husband decided he wanted to try and "fix" it by opening it up and that is when the screen cracked.. So now it lights up again but its all white with a spider web in the one corner. I can still hit the button twice and then guess where the play button would be on the screen and tap it and it will play music.. so I know it still "works" but there is no screen.. and since my husband opened it up I dont even want to try to take it in and get it fixed. The metal backing is all bent away from the glass and you can just tell that someone opened it up.. So instead, I went and bought myself a new one.
It doesnt bother me that I have two of them activated and listed on my computer. That is not why I want to deactivate it. What happened it, I tried to use the face time on my new Ipod and nothing happened. (Yes I made sure that I set it up before I tried to use it) My brother in law tried to call me (we were sitting in the same room) and it was going through on his end, waiting for me to pick up, but nothing was happening on my end. So I am thinking that because it was set up on the broken one first, its sending the call to that one instead of going to my new one.
So I am trying to figure out how I can deactivate/permanently shut off the broken Ipod without being able to go on it or use it. So is there a way to plug it in and deactivate it through Itunes on my computer? -OR- If you can explain why else my face time would not be working after setting it up on the new Ipod?
Thanks..

Having identical FaceTime info on the broken iPod and the new one should not effect using FT on the new iPod as long as the broken one is off. However, you can try connecting the broken one to you computer and see if you can restore it to factory defaults/new iPod vi iTunes. See:

HT1430 If my iPod was given to someone else and they changed the reset code, how do I reset my ipod touch without that password?

My Dad gave my step sister my ipod last year. She changed the password to do a master reset. I called Apple, and I gave them the serial number but got nothing out of it. Because I wasn't paying $20 to talk to a representative. I need someone to tell me how I can find the password and get it changed so i can reset the whole iPod.

If you did not have iCloud on your iPod with Find My iPhone turned on, then there is no way to track it.
You will have to just do it the old-fashioned way and look for it....
