What if you don’t have a computer for disabled ipod touch ?

I've gone into my iphone to erase the ipod because we tried to open it too many times with wrong password. It says it cant be erased until it has internet. How does it get internet if it’s disabled? I'm in some weird loop. There is no "PC itunes", yet there is an iphone on the same itunes account.


Is there a work around to not having a PC?

I do have a PC, but it's connected to a different itunes account and I don’t want to cross-contaminate the info. Can I use it a different way?

Thank you

Use iTunes on a computer to restore it, or the Finder on a Mac running Catalina or newer. It doesn't matter what Apple IDs are involved unless you encounter the activation lock, in which case you'll need to access that specific one.


If that particular computer isn't usable, go to a friend's one or a store's display model.
