I have a brand new Ipod touch and it will not sync.

I have a brand new ipod touch and I cannot get it to synch with my itunes.  I have two other Ipod Nano's that will synch up just fine.  The computer has windows XP with the latest service pack on it.  It does not recognize it as a device in windows, but sees my other two ipods.  I have the latest itunes software on it.  I even uninstalled it and reinstalled per the apple web site.  I connected the ipod touch to another cpmputer and the usb port sees it as a device just fine.  What do I need to do to this thing to get this computer to see it?

  • My brand new iPod Touch 4th generation will not sync with iTunes on my Windows Vista computer!  Please help!

    I have tried every trick in the book and read every thread on why my version of Windows Vista will not allow me to get at the iTunes Store.  I cannot even get this new iPod Touch to sync with iTunes. 
    I've rebooted, soft restart, hard restart, removed iTunes and re-installed iTunes.  Nada...nothing!
    Does anyone else have the same issue and can they offer me a solution?

  • I have a brand new ipod touch and it wont connect to itunes or my computer!!??

    I have a brand new ipod touch however when I connect it to my computer, itunes does not recognise it and neither does my computer. The drivers have downloaded and are showing working. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing itunes as discussed in support centre however nothing seems to work. The ipod itself just has the connect to the computer on the screen, is fully charged and when plugged in a little lock sign comes up for a second or two above the itunes icon!!! Let me know if you have any further suggestions please.

    Thanx for you suggestions, I used my old xp laptop...update software and my ipod connected however the memory is not large enough to hold my itunes library so I could see it was not the cable or the ipod at fault.
    I have tried to connect to my vista laptop again and have tried all of the suggestions in troubleshooting again...I have even upgraded to windows 7 to see if that cleared the problem....and....my computer has located my ipod but is only recognising it as a digital camera so back to the drawing board...
    Please have you any other suggestions???

  • My iPod Touch and iPad will not sync with iTunes, Windows crashes

    I have done the latest upgrade on software for itunes, upgraded the software on both my ipod touch and ipad and now itunes will not sync.  As soon as it starts the syncing process I get a pop up window (I'm on Windows XP) that says that there's an error and itunes has to shut down.  I ran the diagnostics test and it says there's no error.  Not sure what to do now.

  • I have a 2cd Generation iPod touch and it will not read on finder or iTunes.

    My friend comes to me anything and everything I.T, especially when it comes to his iPod. He came to me the other day, Tuesday to be exact and told me his iPod wasn't showing up on his computer. We both have MacBook Airs as given to us by our school. His charger doesn't work so we used my iPhone charger which has never been a problem before. The iPod used to be his cousins and she upgraded and gave him that iPod. I believe it was synced to a Windows computer. He told me it wasn't showing up but yet it claims to be charging, even giving me the sound when we hooked it to the computer. He hasn't downloaded anything yet, so I soft reseted the iPod by going into settings->general->erase all content and I let it do its thing. Its giving me the USB-->iTunes logo and I know I can't get back into the iPod because it's erased. Huge mistake I made. I let it charge overnight so the battery is fully full. We both updated our iTunes and our computers software. I tried putting it into DFU mode and it dosen't do anything. I turned it off and plugged it in and it comes on, but still dosen't read on iTunes nor Finder. I tried deleting apple mobile sync but its not even a source on my computer. Im usually good with finding things & I don't give up until I fixed it. When it comes down to me posting in forums, that means its serious lol, please, I need help. Help Please!
    p.s: because I reseted it, I am not able to figure out what operating system it's in and cannot figure out its last update, as a fyi.

    If it never worked before for your friend, it could be broken (or was working unreliably).  There may be a reason your friend's cousin gave it away.
    If it does not appear in iTunes, what you can try is more limited.  It did operate by itself (when disconnected), correct, although it may now be erased?  So it still charges when connected?
    Also, you are connecting it to a connection that definitely works with your iPhone, right?  So we can rule out iTunes, the Mac's USB port, and the docking cable as reasons the iPod is not connecting.
    If you have not already, you can try resetting the iPod while it is connected to the Mac (with iTunes running)

    Also, this forum category is actually for older (music player) iPods.  You may want to summarize what you know so far and ask the question in a new topic here
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipod/ipod_touch
    which is the forum category for iPod touch.  More iPod touch users are likely to read your question there.  I could request that this topic be moved there, but a brand new questions will be read more often.

  • Brand new iPod touch 4th gen will not sit on dock of Sony Dream Machine

    model ICF -C1iPMK2
    I even wasted money on the three pack of inserts to ensure my touch was resting properly
    I have no idea why it won't rest down on the dock - it is like it's two different sizes of 30 pin connectors? is anyone else having this problem? I don't want to be too forceful with it for fear of breaking something irreplaceable

    Im having the same problems with the latest ipod touch not sitting into a bose portable sounddock.
    Sure, the portable sounddock has an aux port in the back which I can use once I find an audio cable with male ends on both sides.
    After reading this thread, I took an x-acto knife and tried to remove/thin the piece of silver plastic at the back of the ipod touch. didnt help much until I took the same knife and tried to thin the grey plastic innard of the sounddock connector. That worked.
    so basically, i removed a thin bit of grey plastic from the inside of the male connector on the sounddock.
    was worth a try.
    I've also emailed Bose support. They're generally very helpful with these things and the last time when I upgraded from an ipod mini to ipod touch, I called them and they sent me (for free) a set of new dock inserts for the ipod touch.

  • HT1386 I erased my hard drive and now my ipod touch and Itunes will not sync unless I erase my ipod.  How can I have transfer transfer the data on my ipod to my computer?

    I have a lot of music on my ipod that is not in Itune and I have songs in Itunes that are not on my Ipod.  What can I do to combine the two?  I do not want to erase my Ipod.  I have a lot of CDs that I put in Itunes and synced to my Ipod before I had to formatted my computer's hard drive.  It took hours to put my songs on the computer.  Once the hard drive was erased, I installed Itune and connected my Ipod.  Since I am using the same computer, why does Itune not recognize that my Ipod and computer are the same ones that are linked to my account?  What can I do to sync Itunes and my Ipod that does not require earasing my Ipod?

    Hi there,
    This usually meas that iTunes can't find the original files. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for some tips on locating that lost media.

    I have a brand new ipod touch 32gb ipod touch. Upgraded to ios 7. open music app but there is no radio tab to select!!! All online help just says, "just select it".
    I have looked at the "More" part but again radio is not an option.
    Can you help?

    Just wait a bit.  Turn it off, then back on.
    I don't know why, but after the update it doesn't show up right away.
    When it finally does, you will find a red icon on the bottom of the screen, on the left side.
