HT1212 iPod touch disabled wont restore

Cannot restore disabled iPod touch, it was never synced to an iTunes acct via computer. Set up to erase via findmyiphone app...not going to happen since a disabled iPod doesn't have wifi capability. Please assist.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to any computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    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.

  • HT1212 ipod touch disabled due to too many incorrect password attempts - problem is I know the password

    My daughter's ipod touch is locked due to too many incorrect password attempts (thanks to her little brother).  It is displaying the red bar that states ipod is disabled connect to itunes.  Problem is we don't have the computer that the ipod was originally synced with and she doesn't want to reset the ipod.  In this instance we know the password.. so is there anyway to get the ipod to ask us one more time to enter the password?  I'm not sure how many incorrect attempts were made, but it doesn't state anything about try again in so many minutes.. help, please!

    No. Start with the last paragraph of:

    - Try on another computer

  • HT1212 iPod touch disabled but I HAVE the passcode...

    Is there any way I can restore it with out erasing all the data?
    my son lucked out of his iPod touch (4th)... but I have his passcode... the problem is that I haven't synced it with iTunes in ages... (bad mommy...) and all of his games progress are going to be lost if I erase and restore it as instructed.... (not talking about the actual Apps that he'll loose but the progress of the game, data etc...) is there any other way to do it?
    thank you!!!!!

    You may be able to backup. Otherwise you will have to restore using the last backup you have. Some games maintain status on servers and for those games status will not be lost

  • HT1212 iPod touch disabled help!

    It says here that you can configure a device to erase itself.  It's off by default but you can turn it on by tapping settings>pass code lock.  How do you do this when the iPod is disabled and won 't let you do anything?  My son entered a new password and doesn't remember it.  His iPod is disabled and he never synced with our computer.  I've followed the steps to restore it and it just keeps telling me you must enter the password.  Can 't I just restore it with my apple account and password?  If I go into manage my iTunes account and click devices it appears.  What can I do?

    "  How do you do this when the iPod is disabled and won 't let you do anything? "
    You don't
    Restore the ipod.
    IF this fails then put it into revovery mode as the article you linked describes

  • HT1212 ipod touch disable because of wrong pass code.

  • HT1212 iPod Touch disabled due to passcode

    I tried sync-ing the ipod to itunes. We had to download itunes first, since we've never used it. I am told that we just sync the ipod to the computer and it will automatically do a system restore. Itunes cannot get into the ipod because of the passcode. It was never sync'd before, so it doesn't know it. Now what do we do?

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to a computer with iTunes.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
