After setting up my new ipod touch it will not connect to itunes on my computer. I have the new version of itunes, what else do I need to do?
After setting up my ipod I am now unable to connect with itunes.
Did you do everything here:

Including

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipod touch 4g will not connect to my computer. Its not even in the device manager
My ipod touch 4g will not connect to my computer. Not to charge or connect to itunes. My usb ports work fine with everything else. I went and bought a new wall charger that came with a synce cord and it works fine, as a wall charger with wont work with my computer. Ive done the whole rebooting, re downloading itunes, redownloading apple software, the whole 9 yards.
What exactly happens when I plug my ipod touch 4g up if it turns on like it suppose to but instead of going to the home screeen with the little lighting bult in the battery is just acts like its not even plugged in. It just goes to connect to itunes screen.
I sent it to apple and they told me that whatever was wrong with it wasnt under warrenty but didnt tell me what it was. Ugh! It doesnt have water damage, I checked the indicators. So what do I do now? I would rather not go and get it fixed and spend 100 dollars. I would rather try and figure it out myself. Help please!From what Apple said it appears you have a hardware problem. I would either pay to get it fixed or make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and discus it with them.

IPod Touch 4gen will not connect to wifi no matter what
My white 8gb iPod Touch 4gen will not connect to wifi, I have reset the network and the entire iPod. When I got it for Christmas 2011 it worked perfectly for a few months then all of a sudden it stopped connecting, every connection I try to connect it to says the same thing; unable to join network... I am getting fed up, my first gen iPod Touch will connect to the wifi no problem, but the thing is it keeps crashing. I can't use it for more than a couple of minutes and it goes back to the home screen. If anyone could help, it is greatly appreciated!
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Brand New iPod Touch 4G will not charge, or turn on
Hello.
I have a brand new iPod Touch 4G, and when I plug it into my computer, nothing happens. My computer for some reason is not reading this iPod Touch;
I have no other way to charge it.
No damage has been done to the product from my observation.
I have tried to restore it, reset it, and other things like that, but iTunes still isn't picking it up, as well as my computer..
I am on a Windows 7 Starter Notebook, with 3 USB ports (that probably are not high-powered), and for some reason it just doesn't want to charge.
I'm going to take it to school with me later to see if it will charge, but in the mean time, do you guys have anything that could possibly get my computer to start reading this iDevice?
thanks,
MattI have tried a different machine, and it is not my computer.
I have plugged a different iPod into this charger and it charges just fine.
So, it's the iPod its self.
I read an article somewhere and it said that
If your iPod is formatted to work with Macintosh, windows will not read it.
So, I'm thinking my iPod is formatted for Macintosh, (I cannot format it for windows), because it is completely dead, and it won't turn on.
So, should I try a wall charger as my last resort to try and get it to turn on?!
Thanks,
Matt -
BRAND NEW iPod Touch 2g will not power up
I just received a new iPod Touch 2g via FedEx today, and it won't power up at all. I've tried connecting it to my PC (Vista 32-bit) and the screen remains completely blank. I've tried doing the hard reset (holding the home and power buttons down for 10 sec.) and the screen also just stays blank.
This is the first time I can remember a piece of hardware being DOA...is this merely a glitch? Is there anything else I can try to fix this?I have had my iPod Touch 2g for a few weeks and have not used it a huge amount yet. I was very upset to find that after placing it in it's new Krusell case this evening and trying to turn it on (wake from sleep) a few hours later, it was completely dead. Dodo like.
Pressing the power button or the wake up button did nothing. I eventually found this thread and tried the power and wake up button together for 10 seconds. This seemed to work and it now appear to be fine.
A bit unnerving though, as I am working hard to get all my apps and data together so that I can use it as my PDA going forward. I need to move away from the old Sony Clie that has served me so well for about six years. It needs charging too often and I know the Palm platform is undeveloped.
I hope the iPod Touch doesn't let me know. Gave me a fright.
Hope you get yours going again... -

IPod touch (4g) will not connect to computer
When I connect my iPod touch to any computer I get a pop up bubble saying USB device not recognized. I have uninstalled my drivers and re-installed them. I have reset my iPod at least 7 times and I have also erased everything and reset it to factory settings. I have uninstalled the apple software from my windows computer and reinstalled it so now I have the latest version of the software downloaded. The iPod is running iOS version 6.1.3. When I try to charge it does not say that it is connected and charging. It is supposed to make a connected sound and show a lightning bolt letting me know it's charging but it doesn't. Ive had to make sure that the battery is completely dead before the ipod will start to charge (still not notifying me I just leave it there and come back about 4 hours later and see it's fully charged). I have done everything I can think of and what people have suggested on other threads and nothing is working. My warranty is expired and I do not want to take it to Apple and pay $99 to get it fixed. Can anyone please help me?!
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The appointment is free.

Ipod touch 5g will not connect to home wifi
Hello there! I have this problem where my ipod touch wil not let me connect to my home wifi. When I try to join, a message will pop up saying "incorrect password". I know for sure that the password is 100% right. My ipod touch had no problems connecting to the internet a few months ago, but lately many of the apps that required internet would not load even with 3 bars of signal. Therefore, this is when I decided to rest the network settings. Biggest mistake. Now it won't even let me connect to the internet. I have tried everything. Holding the home button and power button together until apple logo pops up. Updating the software to ios 6.1.3, physically turning my ipod on and off, even the modem and reseting the network settings on ipod.
Will restoring my ipod back to factory settings work?
Thank you! It will be appreciated.Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?

Ipad will not turn on or do anything. I have the new Ipad.Whats wrong?
Ipad will not turn on. I have the new Ipad. Whats wrong? Its only about 2 months old.
Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
