My iPod touch is disabled, it says to connect to iTunes and I did but it is still disabled! How do I get it not to be disabled without also erasing all my files and data in my iPod?
I really need help with this, my iPod was disabled by my brother and I don't know how to get it back to normal again. I connected it to iTunes and it still shows up there with all my songs. However, the iPod itself is not working. I've tried multiple things but I don't want my data to be erased so im a bit cautious about what to do. Also, it would help if someone could explain what exactly happens when an iPod is 'restored' 'restored mode' or in 'recovery mode'. If someone could help me it'd be much appreciated. Thanks
You need to restore.
Everything should be on your computer, so you can just sync it back.

Follow the directions here to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it:

If i sync my ipod with another computer to get more music on it. Will it erase all my apps, app data, and pictures?
All synced media that is not already in the iTunes library on the second computer will be erased. This second computer will be your syncing computer
You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library. -
my iPod says to connect to iTunes, and then it crashes, error 3014, I've tried everything it says that might solve the error but nothing
Not knowing what everything is:
Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build" - Apple Support
- 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.

I recently updated my iphone 5 to IOS 8.0.2 and now it wont turn on it just says to connect to itunes and when i do the only option it gives me is to restore iphone because it is in "recovery mode". It says it will delete all my media but i didn't do a back up and i don't want to lose my photos, what should i do? (I never used iCloud to back them up either).
If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?

My iPad mini says to connect to iTunes, and I try to restore it, but after its done extracting a message comes up saying that device is not found, is there anyway i can fix this? I don't care if i don't get my stuff back, i just want my iPad restored to its starting settings.
If everything else that you try fails, I would try using another computer. Since you don't care about saving any data, any computer that is running the latest version of iTunes might be able to restore the iPad. You could make an appointment at an Apple Store Genius Bar and they can do it for you.
If that isn't feasible for you, try using a different cable, a different USB port. reboot the computer, and reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Then try again. -

If i back up my phone due to the wifi option being grayed out it says to connect to itunes and reset my phone but everything will get deleted that wont happen if everything is in my icloud account correct
If Wi-Fi is greyed out, it is not possible to backup to iCloud.
If the device is backed up to iTunes and contacts, calendars, notes, etc are synced to a supported application or cloud service, and media and pictures are on the computer, then a restore will not cause any data to be lost. -
now my iphone is 3GS 32GB and now it is version 4.1 and i make an update to 6.01 and the update is installed but there is an error saying that the activation server is temporarily unavailable and saying try connecting to itunes and to activate and i do but nothing new i need a solve for my proplem now !!
That message usually indicates that the phone was either hacked/modified or jailbroken?
Was this phone ever locked to a different phone carrier? -
ok my phone was wet in a pool did the rice thing and then dryed it and it comes on when plugged to the wall. it says to connect to itunes and when I try to plug it to my computer on itunes it shuts off? help what should I do:(
Connect to iTunes alert (picture of iTunes logo and USB connector) - iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode
If it still won't do anything, make an appointment with Apple and be prepared to get a refurbished phone at out of warranty prices.

I think you should probably also read the iPad User Guide. You didn't say what version of iOS your iPad is running, so here's the links to both the iOS 6 and iOS 7 (PDF) versions:
