    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    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.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    Did all steps of the restore complete without error? I doubt it.

    Connect the iPod to your syncing computer and restore it via iTunes.  If iTunes asks for the passocde and yu can't enter it correctly, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • Ipod says disabled try again in 22 + mintues

    Okay my ipod has a lock passcode and my cousin was playing with it and put the wrong code in too many times and now its locked and says disabled try again in 22,240,544 minutes. I put it in recovery mode and told it to restore and it said it would take 3 hours. well i waited the 3 hours and at the end it said an error had occured to try again later. I tried again later and it said the same thing. It did this like three times. Help? Please

    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.
