Try these options specified at the Apple support site:

can anyone help me please....i recently recovered my ipod touch...it was stolen but i was luck enough to get it back....the problem i have now with it is that it is locked. whoever stole it must have put a different password and now it says the it is disabled. when i plug it in into my laptop i get the following message: "iPod cannot connect to iTunes because it has a passcode..." i tried to restore it but not even that worked....then i called apple and the representative told me that i would need to send it in and there would be a charge since it is not covered anymore. i would like try to fix it myself before i send it in and spend additional money on it. if anyone can help me please let me know....thank you

ok people i`ve sussed it, turn your touch off and disconnect lead from pc/laptop, then when you go to reconnect the cable keep your finger on the button at the bottom and connect this will then ask you if you want to restore your ipod touch, hope this helps

Try this to restore your ipod touch.
Turn your ipod touch off and disconnect lead from pc/laptop, then when you go to reconnect the cable, keep your finger on the button at the bottom and then connect. You should now be asked to restore your ipod touch. Let us know if this helps.

This is so darn frustrating. Computers suck!!!

I have an iphone 3GS that I forgot the passcode to. I was able to restore and went through the back up process. When I restore it I am able to get in it with no problem but when I download what I had backed up the passcode comes back on. When I restore it and start over as a new phone it has none of my contacts or calendar info which I desperately must keep. How do I restore, download the info that was backed up with out the passcode that I don't know coming back into play? Does anyone know?

ahhh feb 4th! youre a lifesaver!
and i know all you people must be so frustrated who say its not working. the trick is NOT to turn the ipod back on.
when youre going to plug in the cable make sure it is off. and DO NOT turn back on. just hold down the bottom button while the ipod is still off and plug in. there will be a pop up box that will ask you if you want to restore your ipod.
and btw make sure itunes is open too.

well smarty pants people... these are all the same ideas and it doesn't work, i placed my ipod in recovery mode and selected restore on itunes, however it starts to restore the ipod, then a message pops up and says that it cannot restore through itunes until the passcode is entered into ipod, which obviously can't be done in recovery mode, or while it is disabled for like 40 years. The apple site says it should work on any computer, as the computer I last synced it with crashed. At this point I would love it if I could just wipe it clean, I wouldn't even care if I had to buy all my songs/videos over as long as I could use it. I talked with the retail store and they said it would cost $150 for them to fix it... at that price I might as well go buy a new one. Has anyone ever had the above trick not work to restore back to factory settings and erase the damn passcode... I haven't been able to use my ipod in a few months.

Hey there May 5th...
1. Turn off iPod
2. Ensure you have the latest version of iTunes up and running
3. Disconnect cord from iPod (leave the other end connected to the computer)
4. Reconnect the cable while holding the bottom power button
5. Once you have done this, you will see the option to restore your iPod on iTunes
6. DONE!
***Sometimes seeing it in steps is easier than reading it in a paragraph*** Thanks Feb 4th

hey guys. here i am again i was the one asking for help a few days ago im may 5 7:41 am. and i had just fixed my iPod touch. i found a simple way to completely erase your passcode without erasing any of your photos, music, or videos.you guys mite know this technique already but i just wanna share it if ever any one out there doesnt know it yet. what i did was i first connected my iPod to iTunes then when it was open i simply right clicked the little ipod icon on the side under "devices" then i clicked the second to the last choice saying "restore from backup" after clicking that a small window will appear (if you call it a window) saying "choose backup to restore this will restore only the calendar, settings, and contacts, not the iPod firmware." click restore and in a few minutes your iPod should restart automatically and come out in the home view.
NOTE:
1.this is should be done preferably to the computer you last synced on to for you to save all of the music,videos,photos you have on your iPod.
2. i dont know if this makes a difference or anything cause when i did it with mine it wasnt in disabled mode.
hope i helped a bit.
oh and thanks for all those who tried to help me!! i needed it!:)

Just so you know you can always phone apple for support. Most of he support from apple is free. If your still within the first 90 days from purchase or if you have AppleCare protection then you can pretty much phone in as many times as you want and get walked through fixing your issue. I think the option to call in for help s great because everyone you speak with is specially trained for that device.You can also go to www.apple.com/support for great FREE support articles available 24-7.The "force recovery" mode which is the mode you put you device into ( like your iPhone or iPod) when you can't get itunes to recogniZe your device. Holding the home button down while connecting the USB cable into the computer. Just an FYI
the computer while having iTunes open on the computer. Then you get the connect
to iTunes graphic on the device and the option o restore your device n iTunes on your computer.

Hi,
I have a disabled iPad with me and it states 'iPad is Disabled, please connect to iTunes'.
I've connect it to iTunes and nothing comes up.
1) I have tried Recovery Mode (holding Home Button and connect to Computer)
2) DFU Mode (Connected to computer, hold both Sleep and Home for 10secs and release Sleep while holding Home).
iTunes still won't detect.
Do advise.
Cheers.

Is there a way to put the songs and aps she has downloaded and paid for already back on her ipod? As far as I know she has not backed any of the files up on another computer. We have a wireless connetion and she just downloads from itunes that way!! Help! She has A LOT of $$$ invested in it. Just doesn't seem fair to lose it all because it got locked :(

ANYONE WHO CAN FIX THIS I WILL WIRE $30 THROUGH PAYPAL SWEAR ON MY LIFE! Ok, so If your going to reply to my comment just call me "Abbey"
My father found an iphone 3gs, there was no sim, (no way of contacting owner) but there is a passcode. So in short, he gave it to me, but I can't figure out how to get past the stupid passcode.
I can't restore, it tells me the network has timed out, and I'm so utterly lost. I'm not very technological so if anyone can give me the instructions that are easy for me to follow, I will pay them the $30. You have my word, I want to use this iphone, and I will pay you the thirty dollars, and probably more because I will be so estatic. Please reply!

Another way to do it is start to jailbreak with greenpoision and once you get to the step to jail break don't start jail break your iTunes will recognize the iPod and ask if you want to restore this will only work if your iPod IS OFF or in DFU mode it takes a while to restore but it works

Feb 4th comment worked again. Be sure to TURN OFF the iPod before you hold the button and plug it in. Keep it held and eventually it will ask you to restore it.

At July 27, 2011 11:40 AM, Anonymous said… it obviously doesnt work for most fking people because it isnt working for mine, and etc. So thats a crock of sh*t.
Basically did what it said, nothing, comes up locked with a passcode, passcode needs to be entered into ipod, try again or cancel. can't do neither it is updated because i did the same with my iphone no way am i paying 284 dollars jsut to get it fixed when the itouche's are less then that at retail stores. so apple suck fat one.

For anyone having an issue getting your ipod into recovery mode (feb 4th post), I finally figured out an alternative way. Download RecBoot, it's a software that forces your idevice into recovery mode. No need to hold any buttons, itunes will recognize right away your device in recovery mode and you can restore it from there. I hope this helps!!

Guys, my iPhone has reset itself. It was recently jailbroken and wasn't opening any of my applications. I accidentally removed Cydia and my springboard kept on crashing and going in safe mode. I recently disabled my iPhone by Purposely entering the incorrect password 10 times over. Now it is stuck on the same screen with the Apple logo and won't proceed further. I tried putting it into recovery mode but it doesn't seem to be working. It keep pooping up with a red battery and telling me to connect it to the power outlet (Laptop). HELP PLEASE! I don't know what to do and I keep getting error -3259 :(

Ok guys so the only problem with recovering is that you will lose ALL your FILES SO IF YOU DONT HAVE THEM BACKED UP I recommend not to do this, Hold down the HOME and POWER buttons at the same time until the screen goes black. Then, let go ONLY the POWER button and then on your screen it will pop up a message saying that you have prompted to restore your iPod/iPhone to its original settings.

at least try DFU mode
hold power for 2 seconds
then start holding the home button without letting go of the power button for 10 secconds
then let go of the power button only and itunes should detect it as an ipod that needs to be restored.
make sure the device is plugged in while you do this
if it doesnt work, your home/power button is broken. if the home button is
hold it down to the side instead of middle

Feb 4th, thank you! Had to perform a couple of passes at this though. First time, iTunes wanted to perform an OS update after which the iPod came back to passcode locked status again. So re-tried the same process a second time and this time the restore occurred and I got my iPod back. Thanks !

Someone help!!! So a friend put a passcode on my iPod touch 4th gen and then forgot what it was. Now I can't unlock the it cause I don't have the same computer (it crashed). I've tried holding the home button while plugging it in, which looked like it worked but then it stopped and said put password in. Also tried holding the power button and home button for dcm (or whatever its called) and started but stopped too. What do I do? Or am I doing something wrong?

Okay, here's some steps to restore your iPod.
1.hold the top button until you see a power off slide.
2. Slide it and the power will turn off.
3. hold the bottom button and connect your iPod to the computer.
4. Go to iTunes and it gives you the option to restore your iPod, restore it and you're done.
Hope this helps.

ok, i have tried this many times
plug your connector cord into your computer, and open itunes, DO NOT PLUG IN IPOD/PHONE, turn off your device, hold down the home button, keep holding the home button while you plug the cord into it DO NOT LET GO, turn it on, and keep holding the power button until it comes up with a screen saying connected to itunes, then, restore your ipod works almost everytime :)

my boyfriend was playing around with my iphone today, and he couldn't get the passcode, so he told me to change it to something he would know so he could try to get it..so i did, but as i was typing the passcode i typed it too fast and misspelled it somehow, i don't know what i typed in, and this was my dads old iphone, and we currently don't have the same computer we used to sync it with. So i was wondering if there was any other possible way to do this, since i can't do the option with the itunes restore.

i know all you people must be so frustrated who say its not working. the trick is NOT to turn the ipod back on.
when youre going to plug in the cable make sure it is off. and DO NOT turn back on. just hold down the bottom button while the ipod is still off and plug in. there will be a pop up box that will ask you if you want to restore your ipod.
and btw make sure itunes is open too.

As you know iPhone and iPod touch allow you to set a passcode to be entered when powered on or when the wake button is pressed. And when you enter the wrong passcode you'll see a screen that says "Wrong Passcode, try again." If you enter the wrong passcode too many times, you'll see a message that says "iPod is disabled" and to try again late. The screen on the iPhone will read as "iPhone is disabled."
