Ipod touch says it is disabled and connect to iTunes

My daughters Ipod Touch was dead and needed recharged.  We recharged and when we turned it on it says Ipod disabled must connect to iTunes.  We did this and nothing happened.
THe Ipod Touch is locked up on that screen.
Help..........Dirk

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.

    Connect in recovery mode to restore, explained in this article: iOS: Unable to update or restore
    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.

  • I forgot my iphone's password and it is disabled now because i tried so many times to open it. Now it's saying "your iphone is disabled and connect to itunes" i connected it to itunes and clicked restore.

    I forgot my iphone's password and it is disabled now because i tried so many times to open it. Now it's saying "your iphone is disabled and connect to itunes" i connected it to itunes and clicked restore. How long will it take for my phone to restore? Is it gonna be 24 hours?

    It appears like there is maintenance or something affecting the iTunes server today.  I recommend giving it a few hours and trying again.  It shouldn't take that long to restore but from what I hear, there is definitely something going on with the iTunes server today.

    My Ipad displays disabled and connect to itunes. How do I go about this? I have already did the home/power but still not working..Please help

    The iPad is telling you what to do. Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. You probably need to restore the device. If it was disabled because you forgot the pass code, you will have to restore using recovery mode. As long as you restore with the computer that you always sync with, you will be able to restore from your backup at the very end and you will not lose any data.
    This explains how to restore the iPad.

  • The ipod touch says it is full and cannot accept any more downloads but it is not full how do I condintue to download songs?

    My daughter's ipod touch says it has no available space and can not download anything. It has a capacity of 6.5 GB. She only hads 236 songs, 3 video's,  63 pictures, and 17 apps. There is no way she has used up all the space with what she has on it but it lists her available capacity as 0 bytes. Any ideas?

    Connect the iPod to the computer and click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes.  Near the botttom of the screen will be a colored bargraph showing the storage usage aon the iPOd.  If the "other" categot is large, like above 1 GB you need to restore the iPod to get the "other" to its normal of about 0.25 to 0.75 GB. Sometimes a restore to factory defaults/new iPod is required.
    If the other is normal. what does the bargraph say for the different categories?
