IPod touch gen 4 will not charge or sync
I've never had problems with this until the past week, and it's starting to drive me crazy.
When I try to charge my iPod, half the time it won't charge! The big battery indicator (the one that fills the screen) won't come on, and I can leave it plugged in all day long and still come back to find the little battery indicator in the red.
I tried to sync to iTunes so I could do a restore, and my computer doesn't think anything's plugged into it. So I can't sync OR restore now.
Is this a virus, or a hardware issue?
Syncing to a PC running Windows 7 and the current version of iTunes.
...Crud. I just went to blow dust out of the connector jack, and I found the problem: bent pins.
Last week, when I asked my boyfriend to charge my iPod for me, he must have jammed it in badly. (My case makes it tricky to find the port without looking; I'm used to it, but he isn't.)
Time to hunt for a used one--I don't have the funds to replace this thing, and if there was a warranty, it's doubtless expired (I've had this iPod for almost 2 years).

my ipod touch gen 4 will not recovery after software update. have tried everything. device not recognized by itunes. any ideas?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

HT201272 my ipod touch gen 2 will not accept the new ebay app how do i get?
hi,
how do i get the old ebay app my ipod touch gen 2 will not accept the new version?If you didn't previously download the eBay app and have it still in a backup or somewhere, then you can't. The current version of the eBay app requires iOS 4.3 which will not run on a 2nd-generation iPod touch.

My Ipod Touch Gen 5 will not show up in Itunes but it shows up under "My Computer" help!
I have a new Ipod touch gen 5. It shows up under my computer but not under devices in the side bar like it should with Itunes 11. I'm running the latest firmware for my new Itouch and the latest Itunes. I hope I don't have to uninstall my itunes as I have ALOT of music on it. I dont wanna lose it all. I'm running windows 8 and followed the tutorial to a "T" to try to fix the problem but nothing worked. I did everything except the last step. Even checking my Computer for Updates (Itunes will not run if updates to my PC are needed). Help Please!

My computer will not recognize my ipod touch 4g and will not charge it.
A short while ago, my computer simply stopped recognizing my iPod touch 32gb 4g. When I plug it in to any USB port, nothing happens. Same if I try to plug my iPod into an adapter. I have tried everything both apple and the previous discussions have covered. I've uninstalled everything pertaining to apple or iTunes and reinstalled it. I've tried going into revoery mode, I've even tried running an independant driver without iTunes. The funny thing is, if I go into settings-general-reset-erase content and settings, the iPod will charge, but it won't reset. I figured that out by accident trying to wipe my iPod to reset it. Any ideas? Please help, I'd rather not have to spend another $300 for another iPod. Another note, my iTunes will find the iPod over WiFi. I don't know if that helps any.

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks
If iTunes sees the iPod then:
- iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here;
Copy music
- Connect theiPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the new iPod from that backup.
Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
If iTunes does not see the iPod you are out of luck unless a Date Recovery company can get the data off the iPod. -
Ipod touch 2g bluetooth will not connect after syncing with iTunes
Had my ipod touch 2nd gen working with Bluetooth pairing to my Jambox and Boss DVD player and previously had worked with my AudioEngine Bluetooth device. Had a problem with musc files giving me an 1309 error message, was able to just select music manually without sync until this problem came up.
Had to initiate the auto Sync with iTunes which removed the error message for Music and since then my Bluetooth pairing has stopped. Have ver 4.21 and the Bluetooth shows the bluetooth mac address.
The Love is gone for this device. It will not pair up with devices that were working under bluetooth last week.
Anyone have any ideas?- On the iPod try resetting network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to repair Bt defive s and rejoin wifi networks
- Reset the BT devices and repair. You have to see the BT device manual for how to reset them. -
