Ipod is Disabled connect to itunes , plug it to itunes nothing pops up and it wont let me recover...

I have the same problem, first the usb itunes screen (pic above) showed up randomly. The computer recognized it at first, saying it was in recovery mode, blah blah. I tried to take it out of recovery mode, but the moment it shut off, the apple logo appeared and didn't go away. This kept happening, so eventually, I chose to 'restore' in itunes. It began to download and install this ipod software update (I'm pretty sure I already had the update). After that, I got this wierd error message, saying I couldn't restore. The ipod, which had the apple logo since the first restore, was then "unidentified" by itunes, and it dissapeared off of the devices list. (Note I did not even touch the cable, and it wasn't syncing anyways) I tried some other ipod USB's, done the recovery mode thing about 10 times, but no avail. Every time I try to do the recovery mode, the screen shuts off for about a second, then the apple logo appears and stays there until I try to recover it again. I have tried almost everything; plugging it back into the computer, plugging it into another computer that it has been recognized on before (which by the way is a mac). I've restarted the computer a number of times, checked for updates for itunes, and searched the web for solutions, but nothing. This is a 4rth gen 32gb ipod.

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.

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.

HT1459 I have a ipod touch and the kids locked it, ipod is disabled, connect to iTunes". I do and it does not recognize the device. Now what?

I have a itouch and it ended up getting locked. I ave tried to connect to iTunes and it does not recognize it. Tried the 2 help options and they did not work either (turn off and hold power button, connect to itunes).
No sure if it makes a difference but i have a iphone 4s, iphone 3 and a itouch. I do not use itunes much so I am out in the dark. Also Apple says to bring it in for service.
Thx

Do as the manual says to do and restore the ipod. If you are unable, then type "unable to restore" into the search bar at the top of this page by Support and read the resulting help articles.

Force your iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

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:

I was trying to put my password but it is not working. My Ipod touch is showing "Ipod is disabled, connect to Itunes". But I tried to connect but the Itunes tells me that I need the password first to connect.I do not know the password. what should I do?

I put the password in my Ipod and now I am trying to put it again but it is not working....I tried to connect with the Itunes and it is not working because to the Itunes work with my Ipod, I need the password first, which I do not know. In my Ipod is showing "Ipod is disable, connect to Itunes". I was trying to connect but I can't...what should I do ?

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
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
