My iPod is disabled and won't connect to itunes no matter what I do.

I have unistalled itunes, reinstalled it, sent the ipod into recovery mode and it still won't connect. Please Help!!

1.  Exactly how did you uninstall iTunes?  (It can't be done!)
2.  What happens when you attempt to connecg?  Any messages?
3. Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  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.

    You must restore it, losing anything you have failed to backup or store on your computer or cloud service.

    I recommend the following article if you are not able to gain access to the iPad because of a forgotten passcode:

  • I am rying to un-disable my disabled 4th generation iPodTouch. It says that I need to enter the password on my iPod but my iPod is disabled and says to connect to iTunes. Any help? It won't even show up in the left sidebar. Help?? :/

    I am trying to re-able my disabled iPod. It is a 4th Generation iPod touch 8gb. It has a crack screen and the lock/sleep button and the volume buttons do not work. It says in red ribbon on the top of the screen, "iPod is disabled Connect to iTunes". When I connect it to iTunes it doesn't show up in the left sidebar. Instead a message pops up and says, "iTunes could not connect to the iPod 'Madyz iPod' because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter you passcode on the iPod before it can be used with iTunes." What do I do? I would really appreciate help.(: thanks.

    If you can't enter the passcode then you have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes. For ecovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Note that this requires using the sleep/wake button.  If you are not successful then there is nothing else that I know you can do.

  • My iPad is disabled and won't connect to iTunes on any computer; I went to my iCloud and removed the iPad so it will erase all data when the iPad is connected to the internet (the original problem was a restrictions passcode we forgot)

    Here is the order of what I did to my iPad:
    1.  A restrictions passcode was put on and we couldn't remember it.  Despite numerous attempts at righting this, I couldn't. The iPad would not sync with any iTunes on any computer, Mac or PC.
    2.  I put a, 'use passcode after one minute' passcode on it and deliberately put in 10 wrong passcodes so it would disable the iPad.  Now it still will not connect to any iTunes.
    3.  I connected to my iCloud account and removed the iPad from the cloud; it says it will erase all iPad data when it connects to the internet.  I am fine with that, I need to know what to do now, though. iPad says, 'Connect to iTunes,' but it won't.  Please help this amateur of all amateurs!!

  • IPod is disabled and can't connect to iTunes

    HI,
    Can anyone help? My iPod touch is displaying a message " iPod disabled, connect to iTunes". When I try to connect to iTunes I get an error message "iTunes cannot connect this iPhone because of an unknown error 0xE8000065". Does anyone know what I need to do?
    Thanks,
    Ellie

    Hello,
    I'am not 100% sure about your problem, but a few things are needed to know what happened. One, did you hack or jeilbreak your device? If yes then you pretty much got brickwd. If not, then did you try to put your iPod in DFU mode and then restore? (DFU - Power+Home button for 10 seconds HOLD, and then home for another 10 seconds.) Hope this helps, though I'amnot sure about the cause.
    Best Regards

  • IPod Touch disabled and can't connect to iTunes?

    My iPod touch 4th gen has been fully disabled so that it says 'connect to iTunes'. But when I do that, it says I need to unlock my iPod first, which I can't do because my iPod is disabled. What do I do? Also, I don't want to restore my iPod because I don't have some data backed up. Thanks.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. You have no other choise. In the future make sure you frequently backup your iPod.

  • Ipod artwork gone, and won't connect to Itunes

    I recently left my ipod in the sun for a while, and it got real hot - too hot to hold. But this has happened before, and I have never had a problem. I have about 50 Gigs of music on it and most of them work, play that is, but some do not. Furthermore, it appears that all of my artwork has dissapeared also. When im in the main menu with the scroller over the "music" icon there should be the floating images of all my album artwork, but that doesnt happen anymore. More about that, when i put my ipod to sleep, and then when i wake it and scroll onto the "music" icon, there is a weird "flashy sporadic color thing" that appears, it looks like when your comuter freezes and all the colors are all messed up.
    Also, when i connect my ipod classic 160 GB to my macbook pro, the ipod image appears on my desktop, and i can open it in my finder and search through all the folders (contacts, notes, calendar, ect. .....), but when i connect it to itunes, it will appear on my sidebar, but when i click the ipod on the sidebar, i get the wheel of death  - and then am forced to force quit itunes. the headphone jack still works too. I ran a manual reboot or whatever and it says that the highest temp was 244c which is really hot.
    Can someone help me, like is there some way for me to reboot it and erase all my music meanwhile restoring functionability? or am i hopelessly lost and destined to spend money on a new one?
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!
