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!

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.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

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.

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!!Did you get the iPod in recovry mode: does it show the iTunes logo and USB plug? If not see if this program will get the iPod in recovery mode:

well, my dad gave me his iphone 3gs when he got a new iphone. he passed away and his itunes account was terminated and my iphone is disabled for 21 million and something minutes and i dont even know how it happened. my phone has been disabled for a really long time and i calculated the time span of how many minutes its locked and it would be locked for 41 years. THERE IS NO WAY IM WAITING THAT LONG!!!! i really need to know if theres a way to unlock my iphone 3gs without restoring it and an itunes account. help me please pleeeease PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To recover it at this point you need to restore it using the computer it was last backed up to. This will remove the passcode.

It's an iPod touch 4S, white.
I've tried on various computer types (windows, macs, and even a linux) and nothing. None of the computers even recognized a device being plugged in.
I know it's not the cable, our other idevices use that one fine (I bought several more to be sure and no luck).
My dad is at his wits end and I want this insanity to end. Help please.
It's been locked so long I don't know what iOS it's on.
Dear god, what did my brother do.See what you missed here:
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.
