Download iTunes to your computer and use that to restore
your daughter's iPhone.

Or do as Apple guide said above and go to an Apple store.

My iPhone is disabled, and I need to restore it, how do you do this?
So I was just on the phone with Apple, and apparently you now have to pay for help on the phone? Stupidest idea ever, but what are you going to do? Anyways, some of my friends thought it would be funny to disable my phone, and now it says "Connect to iTunes" and whenever I connect it to iTunes, it says "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "jakes iPhone" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." How do they expect me to enter my passcode when it's disabled? How do I fix this, it's bugging me that I can't get into my phone. Also, I heard you have to restore your iPhone, how do you do this? I don't know how the new iTunes works, it's really frustrating.
P.S- When I tried to restore it, it says "Are you sure you want to restore the iPhone "jakes iPhone" to it's factory settings?"
I don't want to restore my phone to it's factory settings, that's what it doesn't get.
The point of the passcode is so that it doesn't get any person information taken away. But what's the point if this happens? I mean, either way, I have to delete all the crap anyways to get it working again... Please help me, thanks.The point of a passcode is to protect your information from "friends" who do things to you like they just did. They have disabled your device and you have to restore your phone in iTunes. Hopefully you have performed a backup recently and you can restore from that backup. As far as paying for support, you don't have a mechanic diagnose and repair your car problems without paying so why would Apple or any other company not charge for support? However, any charge that you have to pay for support to fix this issue......I would have my so called friends pay the bill.

at what point do i plug the phone into the computer?
when the screen goes black release the sleep/wake button, but continue holding home button
PLUG THE CABLE INTO THE DEVICE
do not release home button until an itunes graphic appears on IOS device. -
My phone is disabled and I can't do a system restore from either the PC or phone as need the passcode for PC which I can't remember and the home button is not working on phone so I can't do a reset by pressing home and sleep please help!!!
Sounds like Recovery mode times out before the download is complete. Try the following method

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

my iphone is disabled and locked due to my 2 year old pressing too many numbers on my lock screen, but my computer had died and I need to sync it to open it and use my phone. Can I sync it on a new computer, or how can I get it to work and open again as I have text messages and EVERYTHING on my phone I need.
Sorry, just getting back. Since it is a used phone, you may have to contact the prior owner to see if they cleared their Apple ID and passcode. You could not force it into recovery mode? It sounds like it is still locked with someone's passcode. This may not help but I will link it here anyway: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

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.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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.

I have an iPhone 4S and never had a problem with syncing it. But suddenly, when I connected my phone to my mac, it says that its in recovery mode, and I need to restore it in order to sync. I've updated both my phone and my itunes, and it didnt work.Help?

that only makes it say its synced, when its not.
No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

my playlists wont show up on the phone.
Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

What does that have to do with syncing content to the device? FYI, nothing.
