HT1414 Ipod is disabled connect to itunes

how do you restore your ipod touch 4g when it says ipod is disabled connect to itunes?

The iPod should appear in the left sidebar of iTunes under Devices. You will have to plave the iPod in recovery mode for it to appear.
try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.

I've forgot my passcode on my Ipod and it says Ipod is disabled connect to itunes, but when i connect it to itunes it doesn't even come up at the side, i don't mind if i lose everything just what do i do?

this is the second time i have forgotten my passcode to my ipod touch, the first time i had no problem with resetting everything, it worked fine, this time it says ipod is disabled connect to itunes, so i plug it into my laptop and i sit there staring at the side bar on itunes till it comes up with my ipod, but it doesn't, when i do this on another computer it lets me restore it, but then it stops halfway and said cannot do this since ipod is locked with a passcode, please enter the passcode and try again, but if i cant get into it how can i put in my passcode? is there any way that i can find out my passcode, or any other way i can reset my ipod
its an ipod touch 4th generation

Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten passcode:
Restore (and reset passcode) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
If recovery does not work there's:

You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPod.
Take special note of the article about using recovery mode. Many times, that is the only way to bypass the pass code and restore the device.

I have restarted my ipod touch countless times, and it is stuck on this "ipod is disabled connect to itunes" screen and it will not connect to itunes or unfreeze. how do i fix it?

I have restarted my ipod touch a countless amount of times, and it is stuck on a screen. on the screen it says, "ipod is disabled, connect to itunes". i have also tried connecting it to itunes, and itunes says i have to type my passcode in for it to connect. but the screen is frozen, so i cant. what do i do?

For both
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

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.
Did all steps of the restore complete without error? I doubt it.
