Your device was probably disabled because of entering an incorrect passcode several times, that's why even if you're trying to restore it over iTunes, it refuse to restore. That means the passcode lock is stil in effect. To bypass that lock, here's what you gotta do:

1. Plug/connect your device to a computer (PC or Mac)
2. Turn it OFF
3. Press and hold the POWER and HOME buttons together for EXACTLY 10seconds
4. Release the POWER button but keep holding the HOME button until the computer beeps indicating that a USB device is recognized.
5. Open iTunes and restore your device.

Warning: Restoring will delete all data on your device but this is the only way for you to recover it.


If you don't get it at first, try holding the buttons for lesser time or see the other procedures and some screenshots on my tip (link below):

trying to going in and doublue jump it or you may need to take all of them off the itunes and start over i keep 4 diiferent itouches and this has happened before so try that and see

That's called "recovery mode"
You'll need to connect it to your computer and let iTunes restore your iPod from the last sync point.

To guest, yes it does.

unfortunately you will have to restore your ipod. Just connect it to your computer, and within itunes select the restore option on the ipod page.

The ipod should be able to be restored by the computer that last synced it.

Otherwise, try to restore your ipod via DFU mode. Here is a great step by step guide to do that. http://iphonefreakz.com/beginners-guide/howto-dfu-mode/

I hope this helps,

well you can conpleatly restore it by no luging it in and holding the power buton for 3 seconds then with out leting go of the power buton hold the home buton for 10 seconds then let go of the power buton and just hold the home buton for a further 30 seconds.....

after you have done this plug it in to your computer with iTunes allready running and a icon should say unresponcive ipod or somethin along those lines just click RESTORE

Hi,

If your iPod is frozen or won't turn on, the steps to reset it vary by model.

1. Toggle the Hold switch. To do this, slide the switch to Hold (an orange bar appears) and then slide it back (orange bar is hidden).
2. Reset the iPod by holding down the Menu and Center buttons for 10 seconds.
   • If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect the iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If the iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
   • If the Apple logo does not appear or the iPod is not seen in iTunes, connect the iPod to a power source by either plugging it into an Apple iPod USB Power Adapter or directly into a computer's USB port.
3. Let the iPod charge for at least 20 minutes. Note: If the iPod is connected to a computer, make sure the computer does not sleep, standby, or hibernate during the 20-minute charging period.
4. After the iPod has charged for at least 20 minutes and while it is still connected to the power source, toggle the Hold switch again as in step 1.
5. Try resetting the iPod by holding down the Menu and Center buttons for 10 seconds.
   • If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect the iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If the iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
   • If the Apple logo does not appear or the iPod is not seen in iTunes, try putting the iPod into disk mode and restoring.
6. Try putting the iPod into disk mode.
   • While in disk mode, connect the iPod to iTunes and try to restore.
   • If the iPod is still not recognized by iTunes, the iPod should be serviced.
   Hope i helped you.

Thanks.

IF YOU HAVEN'T SYNCED IT TO ANYOTHER PC THEN SHUT OFF YOUR IPOD TOUCH CONNECT THE USB WIRE TO YOUR PC AND TO YOUR IPOD THEN HOLD THE POWER AND HOME BUTTON THEN ITUNES SHOULD GRAB IT.

The ipod should let you do a restore in itunes with the computer that last synced the ipod. This is the only way to remove the passcode.

If it wont simply show up on the computer, plug the ipod in, hold the power button and then slide to power off. Press the power button, as soon as the apple logo appears press and hold both the top power button and the home button together until the orange triangle appears. This should put the iPhone into restore mode, open itunes and restore.

Nathan.
