HT201263 Trying to restore ipod touch because it is disabled.

I have an ipod and can't remember the passcode on it.  It is disabled at my many attempts to remember the code.  It has been sitting for a few months and the original computer died!  I tried to restore it with my current itunes but halfway thorough the process it asks for the passcode.  WHAT DO I DO???  THANKS!

Place the iPod in Recovery mode and then restore.
Next try DFU mode

  • HT201210 been trying to restore ipod touch for days after updating itunes. keep getting error #9. Tried it on 2 computers, with vista + XP. tried all the solutions posted. nothing is working. Thanks Apple. Didn't have this problem before updating itunes!

    Been trying to restore Ipod touch for days after updating Itunes. Error code #9. Stuck on restore screen. Tried all the solutions posted. Tried on 2 computers, Vista + XP. No device shown on computer. Thanks Apple! Didn't have this problem before update. How about rolling back your update?

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • Getting an error when trying to restore iPod Touch 2g

    When I'm trying to restore my iPod touch 2g, I keep getting the following error:
    An error occured while restoring this iPod (-402620415).
    I called support but my phone support warranty has run out and I don't want to pay $30 to have this problem looked at. The lady on the phone even said she's never heard of this problem before. Does anyone know anything about this?

    have you seen this support article ?

    - Let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hur try a reset:
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Tehn connect to your computer and restore via iTunes is necessary.
    - If you still have the white screen it is time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Trying to restore iPod touch

    My daughter recently bought a new iPod Touch. She loaded her music from itunes, but now needs to delete it to let me use it for a while with my music.
    She has been unable to do this, and is getting the message:
    "This iPod could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the required build."
    Any advice please.
    Thanks

    This must be a 'sticky' as no one has answered. What puzzles us is that I was able to do this procedure with my iPod Nano 1st gen!!

  • I needed to reset my iPod touch because my pass code was changed and I didn't know what it was, but now iTunes wont let me restore it what do I do?

    Please help me!! I needed to reset my iPod touch because my pass code was changed and I didn't know what it was, but now iTunes wont let me restore it what do I do?

    You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it.  If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.
