TS1629 I cannot get my ipod touch to get off of disabled. What do I do?

I cannot restore or recover my ipod touch. What do I need to do? I have tried the steps that it shows to do but it still isn't showing up under devices.

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.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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 iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Having a hard time getting a iPod touch 4g case off

    I can not get this case off my Ipod touch 4g: Griffin Outfit Ice Case for iPod touch (4th Gen.) I can get the top part off if I pull extremely hard but the bottom part does not even seem to move. Any ideas how to get the bottom part off. Could cleaning the edges off it help?

    I could not get the case off of mine either. I ended up slipping (very carefully) a butter knife under the back to release the seal. Before I put it back on I rubbedva thin film of mineral oil on the inside of the case and haven't had a problem since. I still have to pull hard to get it out but it doesn't stick as it did before. Hope this helps.

  • I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized at other times. Is it because i am not uninstalling it

    I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized subsequently. Is it because i am not uninstalling itunes before I download it? Surely this is a basic thing, ie that my devices need to recognize each other?

    After you dry the iPod:

    Connect the iPod to a charging source overnight and then try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 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.

    Try holding the Sleep/Wake + Home buttons down for AT LEAST 15 seconds. If that does not work, get it serviced. Sounds like a hardware issue--like battery, Sleep/Wake switch or logic board.

    I cannot sync my ipod touch, nor my iphone to my itunes anymore. I would  like to go through all of the steps troubleshooting listed in this article, but will I lose my playlists?

    Your playlists are contained in your library.itl files in your user area iTunes folder, or on the external drive if you keep your whole iTunes folder there.  The steps outlined in that article will leave that unaffected.  Still, it is always a good idea to make a complete bootable clone backup of your computer before undertaking the type of procedures that article suggests, just in case you delete the wrong thing.

  • Cannot restore my iPod touch 3g "Software for this iPhone is not currently"

    Hello,
    II have a big problem, I cannot restore my iPod touch.
    I cannot get anything to show on the screen, it seems stuck in DFU mode. When I connect it to my pc, iTunes show this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes".
    "Check for update" is grayed. Capacity/serial/Software show N/A.
    iTunes detects it as an iPhone but it's an iPod touch.
    I tried 2 different computers.
    I tried to download firmware and shift restore them, tried many, none work, telling it is not compatible.
    When I click restore simply, it show this message "Software for this iPhone is not currently available".
    I tried different ipod cable too, no luck.
    The only way I can see something on the screen is with greenpoison (note that before this, I never tried nor wanted to jailbreak, but I tried a lot of things since 2 days including this, but no luck), so with green poison, I can get the iTunes + cable logo on the screen, but it won't restore either.
    my iPod is just 1 year old, and 32gb, I'm rly frustrated and sad about all this :S, I tried lot of things, searched a lot, nothing work.
    This happened when I came back from the gym, in my car, the iPod would not turn on, I tried again at home, and after some home/power, it turned on, I took a shower and when I came back, it was the same problem but since, it never turned on again.
    Any help would be rly appreciated, thanks.

    If its stuck in DFU mode, just hold the Power/Sleep button and the Home button until the device resets. If your unable to access the springboard, you might need to RECOVER your iPod Touch using the Recovery method, not DFU mode.

    The iPhone and iPod Touch is very similar, except the iPod Touch doesn't have phone capabilities.

    If you never Jailbroken, then why is greenpois0n installed? Did you buy this from a previous owner?

  • When I try to update my iPod Touch, I get an error message regarding my network connection, and it will not update. Any suggestions?

    When I try to update my iPod Touch, I get an error message saying "The iPod Software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." Has anyone else had that and how do you end up updating your iPod?

    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
