Ipod touch is disabled? Can't type in passcode to allow connection to itunes?
ipod touch says "disabled" and to connect to itunes. Computer won't recognize until the passcode is entered but the device won't allow the passcode to be typed in. Stuck!
Place the iPod into Recovery Mode using the instructions in this Apple support document.

Hi, I have recently brought some tv programmes from itunes on my ipod touch. I can only watch them when i'm connected to the internet though. Any way i can move them to my music folder too? Thanks
That means it is not fully downloaded so you are streaming it. Fully download it.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

My daughters ipod touch has been disabled because of a wrong passcode. After 2 days of trying to get into Itunes, it will not help without a passcode and is not recognizing it as a device even though the computer is recognizing the USB. I know I have to do a complete recovery, but can I do this without Itunes (or Icloud)?
You cannot do this without itunes on your computer

Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, 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.
* If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information. -
this is the message i get from itunes
Itunes could not connect to "ipod of ...." (so, it looks like it understands which ipod is trying to connect) because it is protected by a code. Prior to use ipod with itunes you need to digit the code (where?? )
please help!Try here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Also include manually placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then try a restore
Then try DFU mode and restore.

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 ipod touch is disabled. Please help me with my questions. It is my first apple device.
My ipod is disabled. When i turn it on it says to connect to itunes. I can get to where the screen displays a cord and an itunes logo, but itunes does not pop up, nor display my devices. This is probably because I have not synced my ipod with this computer, nor with any computer. How do I sync my ipod with itunes when it is disabled? How do I get itunes to pop up when my ipod is connected to the computer? Please dont give me a link, i really would like a step by step guide. I have itunes downloaded on this computer, but it does not pop up or display my devices. Do I need to create an itunes account? I have so many questions because this is my first apple device. If you were wondering, my ipod touch is disabled because I forgot my passcode. PLEASE help, I dont care if I have to reset my ipod, I just want to be able to use it!
Use Device Firmware Mode...
1. Turn off your ipod To do this, hold the home and sleep buttons for 10 seconds, ignore slide to power off message.
2. Release the power button when you see the apple logo (keep holding the home button)
3. Keep holding until you see a message.
Now restore from a backup!
Alternatively you can wait! -

Hello KathleenBrade,
It sounds like the iPod Touch is disabled due to a forgotten passcode lock. You can use the following article to reset that named:

There are different instructions depending on whether or not you are doing this with the computer the device normally syncs to so be sure to follow the correct steps.
