Ipod was locked and the computer asked for a reset which I accepted. All programs were erased and I cant see any programs in itunes. Are the programs lost forever or is there a chance to restore?
Which OS & iTunes versions do you have?

Put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then restore it:

If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

My Ipod was dropped and is now dented on the side.
I dropped my iPod today, there is now a dent in the metal on the side. Because of that the is a large black spot on the screen. What can I do to fix this and how much will it cost?
It ain't cheap. Contact Apple for exact price.

I bought an ipod 4g at a pawn shop, it was locked and disabled but the guy said I could restore it by connecting it to my computer and pressing the home and sleep buttons at the same time, it didn't work and he won't take back the ipod what do i do?
When I try connecting it to my computer itunes opens and says I cannot connect to the ipod because it is disabled, enter passcode on ipod. The ipod is locked and disabled and will not allow me to try and put in a passcode, which I wouldn't be able to do because I have no idea what it might have been.
I downloaded the newest version of Itunes, restarted computer, connected ipod, nothing, held every button down for what seems like forever, nothing. I think I have been screwed by the pawnshop. Is there anyway of restoring this thing or is now just a $60.00 paperweight?torreto44. that does not work with a Disabled iPod. Jim's gave the correct answer for a Disabled iPod

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 -
I have just updated to itunes 11 and when I plugged in my ipod classic it locked up. When I tried again it said my ipod was corrupt and advised I reset it. I reluctantly did this as I lost all my music and now itunes just locks up when I plug in my ipod.
Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

My iPod touch screen says it is disabled. Connect to iTunes. When I connect the device to the computer a window pops up and said that the iPod is locked and I need to enter the passcode on the iPod..... I can't get it to do anything. Any ideas?

My iPod was stolen and now I can't access my iTunes account
My iPod was stolen and within half an hour my iTunes account was locked from an attempted hack.
I reset all the passwords and have since gotten a new iPod but anytime I try to login to my account everything freezes. I can access it online and on this forum, obviously, but my laptop running windows7 freezes instantly and my desktop computer running windows XP freezes as soon as I try to go to the store.
How do I fix this? It happens on both the computers I had authorized for that iPod and I'm not sure what to do.
Do I need to delete my account and start over? If so how would I do that? I've been told it is extremely difficult and usually results in the loss of use of iTunes on any computers you had authorized before.
At this point I don't even care about the money I'll lose on my old account I just want my music back.This won't get your old messages back but will help with new ones: https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage

My ipod was stolen and I was trying to track it via icloud but they've disabled the location services. Will they still receive my "Find My iPod" messages?
If they disabled services, then they disabled Find My iPhone (if they're smart), so you won't be able to track it and/or wipe it. Messages won't work either.

Why were you never able to sync? You should be reguarly syncing
Try putting it into recovery mode
