If you have forgotten iPhone passcode and it resulted in failure to unlock your iPhone. You can follow below steps to unlock it with iTunes or iCloud.

-Use iCloud

  • (2). Click Find My iPod and let it start to search and connect with your iPod touch APP.
  • (3). When iCloud is connected to the iOS device, its position will be fixed and shown on the map, then click the option at the upper right of Clear iPod and follow the next indication.

  • (2). Close iPod device completely. Hold Power button and slide the Power Slider to close iPod touch.
  • (3). Connect your iPod touch to the computer and use iTunes to enter into recovery mode.
  • (4). Open iTunes and hold Power+Home buttons long before the logo of Apple appears. Then click Recovery Mode.

My ipod touch 4th generation says -ipod is disabled connect to itunes- tried that and itunes wouldnt open unless unlocked my ipod and i cant. I tried restoring it and itunes said ipod can not be restored...

"iPod is disabled - Connect to iTunes" . This is because someone(or something?) has tried to crack your password too many times, which causes Iphone/Ipod to automatically disable itself to protect your data.

To restore your iPod, you must connect your iPod to iTunes with your iPod connector table. Make sure it is on and has this message when you connect it to your computer. Once connected, iTunes should detect it as usual.

Once connected, make sure you have all the proper sync settings enabled - for example, applications, music, photos, etc. Change something so that the Sync button in the bottom right appears in the iTunes window. Then sync the data.

When syncing is finished, turn on your iPod / iPhone and you should notice that the message is gone. Type in your password and the disabled message should be gone.

If the message is still there, try holding the sleep and home button at the same time until the iPod turns off, then continue holding the sleep and home button until a screen with the iTunes logo and a picture of the connector cable appears. This will put your iPod in Restore mode. With this option, you must click the Restore button in iTunes, which will delete all your data on the iPod.

Cant

Hello.
Try to do a hard reset. Hold the home button down and the lock button at the same time until the apple pops in the middle of a black screen. Keep holding past the "slide to shutdown" until you get the apple. That should work for you. Hope this helps!

My iPod touch says connect to iTunes but when I connect it to iTunes it cant open my iPod because of a password but I can't type it in because of the connect to iTunes screen. What do I Do?

Two choices:
Plug in your iPod
Go to "My Computer"
Go to your iPod's drive (F for me) Make sure you can see all hidden folders (If you aren't sure go to Tools, Folder Options, View Tab, and check Show) After that click iPod_Control Click the folder called "Device" And then change it from _locked, to _unlocked

Or
Follow these instructions to reset your iPod to its factory settings
