My iPod won't turn on because it says connect to iTunes but when I go to restore it, it says the connection I bad and it will "try again later"
all day I have tried to update to the ios8 but when I got home it said connect to iTunes so I did and im trying to restart it and update it is says the connection is bad
What is the exact wording of the message?
Maybe this:
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

ipod touch is saying it is disabled and to connect to itunes but when i do it asks for a password ?
copied from iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
If the issue continues after updating and restoring your device, refer to this document. -
My iPod is disabled, but not because I forgot the password. It says I need to connect with iTunes, but when I try it says I need to enter the password. What do I do?

My iphone4s does not turn on,when I connect to power ,it shows the message "connect to itunes" but when I connect to iTunes,my pc does not detect my phone,so iTunes does not detect my iPhone.
Are you running the most recent version of iTunes for Windows on your PC? You may be running an older version that is incompatible with the 4s.
Hope this helps -
