i cant connect to my computer with my ipod and itunes wont connect to it either. also i have forgotten my ipod passcode

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
And if necessary
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or              
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connected and disconnected.  does the same with itunes.  Also i'm talking on the phone and all of a sudden the other person can not hear me.

    My iphone4 when connected to any computer will not charge and is constantly connecting and disconnecting.  It does the same with itunes so it doesnt really sync.  Also when talking to someone, all of a sudden they cant hear me.

    I'm having the same issue. I went to my local apple store and they could not work me into the genius bar so i made an appointment for tomorrow morning. The clerk did check the phone for the pink indicators at the top and bottom of the phone (where you plug in your USB or headphones) He said if you can see a pink indicator dot you may have gotten it wet, or had some sort of condensation in it, which could cause the plugs to not work.
    In regards to people not being able to hear you, i'm waiting for my appointment tomorrow for more news! I would recommend taking it into your local apple store for more answers.

  • I am connected to the computer with my phone and it says there are 0 photos to import, however I have over 200 on my phone to import. I am trying to figure out why they aren't showing up.

    I am connected to the computer with my phone and it says there are 0 photos to import, however I have over 200 on my phone to import. I am trying to figure out how to get itunes to recognize the photos on my phone. This has never happened before.

    Have you tried to reset the iPhone and tried again to import?
    To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • HT201210 how can i enable my device after it has been disabled and itunes wont connect to it?

    itunes wont connect to my device because it has a passode set. but i can not disable the passcode because my device is disabled. what can i do about it?

    Put iPhone into Recovery Mode. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with USB cable, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes.

  • My iPad will not connect to a computer with the cable which  means no updates or down loads. I have tried new cables and different computers. Has anyone seen this before?

    Has anyone seen this issue before?

    Possibly. Do you have other devices and will they connect?
    One possible thing that it could be is that the USB port on your iPad has gone bad. It happened to mine. Couldn't sync, could barely charge (it said 'not charging' even when plugged into the wall)
    I'd take it to the apple store, see if they can replicate it, and if they can, then they can diagnose it. Just back it up before you go, in case they do exchange it.

  • URGENT - Help with my ipod and itunes not connection due to code

  • Ipod and camera wont connect

    I have owned my MacBook 10.5.8 for 2 years. I do a lot of photography and I have a canon digital SLR. I also have an 8g IPOD touch. I have never had any problems connecting these devices until recently. Whenever I connect either of these devices my MAC doesn't read them. It doesn't even show that they are plugged in, but my IPOD will charge when connected. I have installed all the software updates/upgrades, checked many many forums and can not fix the issue. I know that it isn't my USB ports b/c I can see and use my external hard drives and printers in the same USB hubs. I am not sure if there is a certain setting that got changed that isn't allowing my MAC to read and transfer data from these two devices but it is really frustrating. IPHOTO nor ITUNES reads either device, therefore no more pictures or music???? I really hope someone can help? I don't know what changed bc like I said I have always done things the same and all of a sudden I cant.

    Well I figured out the problem with my IPOD touch. I was using a generic USB/power cord for the device for my house and the original APPLE USB for my car. The IPOD wasnt connected to my MAC with the generic power cord, but it does with the apple original cord. This still does not explain my camera problem? I have used it many times before and can't connect to IPHOTO hmmmmmmmmmm

  • IPhone 5s recovery mode not working AND itunes wont connect phone!

    I opened iTunes whilst my phone was plugged into my pc via USB and was told to update the software so I did.
    During the process of updating I noticed my phone screen was an image of a usb pointing to an itunes icon.
    I researched what the symbol meant and why i couldnt turn my phone back on and found out i need to do the recovery instructions.
    THEY ARE NOT WORKING.
    I have tried many times but iTunes is still not noticing that my iphone5s is plugged in.
    PLEASE HELP ME!

  • When I connect my iPhone 5 to my laptop and iTunes, I can't play movies from the iPhone on my computer.Why is that? Can I do this or it's not possible with iPhone5? With my iPod it's no problem.

    Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
    You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.
