Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restoring the iPod via iTunes. Fior recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

You should be able to turn it off via one of the accessibility functions :
- Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch (should be towards the bottom of that screen) > AssistiveTouch 'on'
- that should give you a dark square with a white circle in the middle of it (it will fade to grey if it's not used ; and you can drag it around the screen)
- tap that circle and it should enlarge and give you 4 options
- tap 'Device' on that to open a further series of options
- press and hold the 'lock screen' icon (the padlock), and after a few seconds you should get the 'slide to power off' option show
Plugging the phone into power, either via its main charger or a computer's USB, should get it to power back on - it does with mine. Turn off AssistiveTouch

HT1766 This article helps me so little because when I try to restore my disable Ipod it keeps on saying that Itunes can't conect my Ipod to Itunes. It also sais that I have to unlock the passcode to connect my Ipod to Itunes, but my Ipod is unlimitly disa

I tried many times to enable my Ipod!
I even tried a couple of tricks to enable it by pressing the power and home button for ten seconds then, I let go of the power button 'till Itunes sais something like «you'r Ipod is in over protctive mode» something like that... I think
I need more imformation please. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS MESSAGE

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.

When trying to sync my Ipod, it tells me that I have to erase the contents of the ipod to continue

I had to reformat my hard drive and therefore I lost my ITunes library. When I download ITunes again and tried to sync my Ipod, it tells me the following,"You can only sync with one library. Click here to erase the contents of the Ipod and sync the library.
What can I do to correct this problem. I do not want to lose my music, movies or videos. Help me please.

If you moved your iTunes library by simply copying it to another drive, you may not be able to access your music even if you reconnect to that library, you may get a lot of "not found" errors because the music is not where the library thinks it should be. First thing to do is put it back where it was. Then reconnect it. Then follow the steps in this link:

My phone got changed to another language and now my phone is disabled from trying to unlock it numerous amounts of times. The phone tells me to connect to itunes, but itunes tells me that I must insert the password into the iphone before proceeding.

my phone is disabled because the language got changed and I kept trying to unlock it. It tells me to connect to itunes but then itunes tells me that I have to insert the password on my iphone before proceeding. I am unable to type in the password. Help!!

If you forgot your passcode, you have to use recovery mode to restore

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Here's how to:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your ipod to your computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.

The following assumes you've been backing up to icloud all along.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
Let us know if this method does not work.

My sister has the same ipod as me and has no problems charging hers on our computer. Please Help me!!

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 another cable
- 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.

New battery fitted, now phone wont work just states connect to itunes but i cannot

Help, new battery fitted, now iphone won't work just either shows apple sign or states connect to itunes, but i cannot....

Who installed the new battery? If you had it done by Apple, take it back in. Something is wrong. If you had it done by a 3rd party, take it back to whoever installed the battery. They broke it.

:-) the problem is solved. Thanks to a great typ in one of the other discussions with alt+cmd+S iTunes looks again like something I recognize. After removing the iPod from iMac and also from the connecting "holder", turning it on ad off, rebooting the iMac, maggic happens and the iPod now shows in iTunes and everything works just fine.

Restore...
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.
There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

I wish to transfer all the music on my ipod (synced with my home computer) to my itunes on my work computer. Is this possible? I am concerned if I plug my ipod into the work computer, which has itunes but no music content, that it will automatically sync and wipe all the content from ipod. Can anyone advise?

Only if you use a third-party utility such as Phone to PC and only if you use the same Apple ID for your other computer.
