My iPod touch 3gen is disabled for 23,151,670 minutes and I tried to restore it, but it won't connect to iTunes unless I unlock it(which I obviously can't do). I tried recovery mode, but it says that iTunes should tell me that it detects a device in recovery mode and that isn't happening. How do I disable/erase my iPod without restoring or recovering?
