Someone gave me an ipod touch but it is disabled. It tells me to connect to itunes but I don't know what to do once i connect if I can't sign on to the ipod. How can i get into it?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

How do I enable my disabled ipod?

I'm not sure exactly what "disabled" means, for your iPod. However, this is a basic reset procedure for an iPod shuffle.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
If the problem is iTunes not seeing the iPod when connected, you should also try shutting down (powering off) your computer. Start it up with iPod shuffle NOT connected. Run iTunes. Connect iPod shuffle (after doing the reset procedure).

You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. 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.

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

How can I fixed my Disabled iPod?

Okay, let see. I forgot my passcode to my iPod & after trying many different passcodes my iPod locked up & says "iPod is disabled - connect to itunes"

Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to rest the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

HT4859 My ipod has been disabled and I don't know how. And now it says to connect to Itunes and that isn't even letting me. So, how can I fix my disabled ipod if it wont connect to itunes and/or the internet?

Okay so I let my baby sister play with my Ipod and then whenever I came back home the next day the Ipod says "Ipod is disabled" "connect to itunes". But whenever I try to connect it to itunes it says there is an error and wont connect it. So therefore I cannot connect it to itunes to fix the Ipod.

Your sitter must have tried logging into the device using the wrong passcode. Do it too many times and the device becomes disabled.
Connect to your computer in recovery mode per the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
You may need to do this more than once.
