Idk I think its been a year in an half since I known about it being disabled. What do I do? Im scared to restore it because I dont want to lose my stuff.

You have to restore and thus erase your iPod. that is how it works.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • HT1212 My daughter's ipod touch is disabled for the next 43 years. Any hints on what she may have done to cuase this and how to fix it?

    My daughter's ipod touch is disabled for the next 43 years. Any hints on how to fix this? I have followed the steps listed on the apple website to p lace it into recovery mode, but the ipod is now "stuck" on the connect to itunes part. Thanks!

    Sounds like a case of entering an incorrect passcode over and over.  Only fix is to follow the instructions in that article you reference, HT1212, and it may take a couple tries to get it to work right.

  • My iPod Touch keeps disabling my passcode.  I have typed the correct passcode but it won't accept it.

    My iPOD touch keeps disabling my passcode.  I have typed the correct passcode but it won't take.  It took it numerous times earlier in the day.

    Maybe at one point, you may have miss typed the code when setting up the code. You'll have to factory reset your iTouch.
    Try restoring in Recovery Mode:

    If unsuccessful, try DFU mode:

    After fully restored, set up with one of your back ups:

    Or set as new iPod:

    You will find out when you restore it. You don't have a choice but to restore at this point. You will lose any that were not already backed up. You can't back it up after it's been disabled.

  • My ipod touch is disabled for over 21 million minutes and it wont let me restore it or put it dfu mode. I even took it to the geek squad and they couldnt fix it. Please help me.

    I forgot my ipod touch's passcode and it died. After a couple months i pulled it back up and it was locked out for 21 million minutes and i looked it up on the internet and couldnt fix it with anything. I then took it to geek squad and they couldnt even fix it. Dfu mode wont work, cant connect it to itunes, cant restore or recover it. Please help me.

    Use Device Firmware Mode...
    1.     Turn off your ipod To do this, hold the home and sleep buttons for 10 seconds, ignore slide to power off message.
    2.     Release the power button when you see the apple logo (keep holding the home button)
    3.     Keep holding until you see a message.
    Now restore from a backup!
    Alternatively you can wait!

  • IPod touch is disabled for 27,543,808 minutes

    My iPod touch was taken by my sister and cousins. They tried to guess my password on various occasions and now it has been locked for 27,532,808 minutes. Which is about 55 years or something.
    I have tried to do a forced restart, where I have held down the sleep button and the middle button to restart the iPod, and then continued to hold down the home button, which then shows me the screen "connect to iTunes" on the iPod itself. However, my laptop, isn't the laptop the iPod was last synced with.
    The iPod doesn't pop up on iTunes, it just simply stays on the "connect to iTunes" screen and does nothing.
    I really need my iPod as I'm going on holiday Friday, and I can't be without music! Please help!!

  • HT1476 I can't tell if my ipod touch 3rd gen is really charging. I have it plugged in, but it will sometimes show the charging icon and then it won't respond to anything. I ddon't know if you need itunes to be on your computer to charge it.

    Ok, so I plug in my touch 3rd gen and I can't tell if it is really charging. It doesn't seem like it is. I can only see the charging icon sometimes, and then after the icon goes away, the ipod won't respond! I'm not sure what to do. Than I thought the USB port was messed up because it doesn't always work, but I plugged it into a diferent port and it said on the ipod, charging isn't supported with this accessory.

  • My daughter has a ipod touch 4 generation.  It is running iOs 6.1.3.  The problem is that it loses its data and reverts back to a new ipod at least twice a week.

    My daughter has a ipod touch  4 gen.  It is running iOS 6.1.3.  It shuts down and reverts back to being a brand new ipod.  We then connect to computer and restore to a backup.  It works fine for a few days and then does the same thing again.  How do I fix this?  She got it for Christmas last year.  We don't want to spend the next few years doing this twice a week.  All help is appreciated.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
