How do i undisable my ipod without i tunes

i just got my ipod back after a year, and when i turned it on it said it was disabled for 23,500,267 minutes. i dont want to wait that long and how is it possible to even be disabled for that long?

Someone entered the incorrect screen-lock passcode too many times
Only if:
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
Otherwise you need a computer with Itunes and an internet connection
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.

    Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. That is required. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.

  • My iPod dispalys this message: "Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore."  When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it.  The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?

    I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore).  Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data. 
    I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data. 
    Thanks in advance!

    Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC?  Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
    To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?

  • HT1420 I just bought my cousin's ipod, and I want to update it on my computer.  However, it needs authorization from his account to keep all the apps, and he's already authorized it on 5 computers.  How can I update this ipod without losing all the apps?

    You cannot use someone else's apps without violating the license agreement. The apps are tied to the owner (via Apple ID). The right thing to do would be to update and start fresh.

  • HT201263 How can I restore my ipod without erasing everything??

    HOW CAN I RESTORE MY IPOD WITHOUT ERASING EVERYTHING?

    You cannot.
    That is what a restore does.  It erases everything and reinstalls the ios.
    If you are using the ipod as designed then everything is on your computer, so you can resync everything,  and you can restore from your backup to get the settings back.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    iCloud: Erase your device
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • How can I track my iPod without using an app ?

    Hey I lost my iPod touch in school and I think one of my classmates took it how do I track it down without using an app ?

    The only way to track it at all is to first have enabled an iCloud account on it before it was lost, with the find my iPod setting in that account's setting panel set to "ON".
    If that was done, you can log in to your iCloud account in a web browser and you can try to track it.  It must be on, and it must have an active wifi data connection to be trackable.
    Without an iCloud account already on it though, there is no way to track it.

    How can i sync this ipod with a itunes library without losing everything on my ipod??
    (note: the computer i am using now is a windows, with an itunes library that also has music bought on it)

    Tough spot if you want Apple only SW, no idea where you can get where you want without some decent 3rd party SW, which as a rule outshines Apple's SW by light years.
