HT1212 My ipod touch is disabled and it said connect to iTunes

My ipod touch have a password and my kid disabled it, and I can't use it.. How can I unlock it?

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

My Ipod Touch is disabled and when I connect to Itunes to recover it, it states that itiTunes could not connect to the iPod touch "iPod touch" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPod touch before it can recover.

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.

My ipod Touch is disabled and it says connect to itunes, but it says on itunes you have to enter the passcode but i forgot mine

my ipod touch is disabled because i forgot my passcode i syncd it to itunes and now it says to enter a passcode but i dont have one.

You should be able to reset it and then put everything back from a backup in iTunes (one you hopefully got).
If you can't, I guess you could put it in DFU mode and try again...
Good luck!

My daughter's iPod touch is disabled and I cannot connect to iTunes

My daughter's iPod went crazy the other day making noises (she was no where around) and when I found it the message said that the iPod was Disabled and that it should be connected to iTunes.I tried this and it said that it might need an upgrade and possibly to be restored. I clicked ok but it only got so far through the software upload before it returned to Disabled. I did a little searching and tried the connect while holding the home button thinking this would work but alas - no joy! I've repeated this and gone in circles looking at discussions and now discovered that I cannot even turn off the iPod (with the slider) I held done the home button and on/off, restarted and then... you guessed it, disabled. Any help?

Have you tried following the recovery mode instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 and summarized as:

My daughter's ipod touch is disabled and says to connect to itunes becasue she forgot her password. she hasnt synced in a long time so I cant even go onto itunes (it does not recognize the device) how do I reset her password?

we have had to reset our computer so any info on there is also erased. my daughter is in tears and I am frustrated. I have tried the basic technical support of resetting (holding the power button and the home key for 10 seconds, etc) nothing is working and we can not connect to itunes.

Here are Apple's instructions for placing the iPod in recovery mode:

TS2446 my ipod touch is disabled tells me to connect to itunes but itunes doesn't recognize because my computer crashed and had to have fixed so doent recognize my ipod touch what do i do

My ipod touch was lost and now I got it back but someone locked it up and says my ipod touch is disabled tells me to connect to my itunes. I connected to my itunes on my computer but will not recognize this ipod touch because since it was lost my computer crashed and nothing could be saved on it so I had to reload itunes and start from the beginning so how do I get my ipod touch out of "disabled" mode?

Try authorizing the computer because that may be the problem. And you need the latest version of itunes. Itunes 11.
To authorize the computer go to itunes then press store then authorize.

HT1212 My Ipod Touch is disabled and i need to know what my password is without using itunes because my ipod is not synced with itunes.

I don't use my ipod touch that much but now i want to.So when I tried to unlock it, I tried like everything I could to try to unlock it and now it is disabled. It has been disabled for about 30 minutes now and is still. I don't have it set up with itunes and it won't let me set it up because the ipod is not unlocked. So I need to know how I can unlock my ipod without buying stuff, using itunes, having difficulties, contacting apple, or taking it to an AT&T store or whatever. So I REALLY need some help!! :/

HT1212 My ipod touch is disabled and i cant figure out how to work it

my ipod touch wont work because its disabled

Read the article you asked this question from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212

My iPod touch is disabled, it says to connect to iTunes and I did but it is still disabled! How do I get it not to be disabled without also erasing all my files and data in my iPod?

I really need help with this, my iPod was disabled by my brother and I don't know how to get it back to normal again. I connected it to iTunes and it still shows up there with all my songs. However, the iPod itself is not working. I've tried multiple things but I don't want my data to be erased so im a bit cautious about what to do. Also, it would help if someone could explain what exactly happens when an iPod is 'restored' 'restored mode' or in 'recovery mode'. If someone could help me it'd be much appreciated. Thanks

You need to restore.
Everything should be on your computer, so you can just sync it back.
