Ipod Touch Recognition Problems...***Different Than Others***

I have seen a bunch of other posts similar to the problem i have but i wanted to post one specifically with my problem.
Ok, when i plug my ipod in it starts to charge like it should and itunes opens up, like it should...But my ipod doesn't show up in itunes and it doesn't show up in My Computer. If anyone can help me with my situation it would be much appreciated. I just want my baby back!

I had the same problem with my iPhone with iTunes 7 and I solved it up by installing iTunes 8.
If your problem remains, you can use an alternative iPod Touch manager such as the one I used before iTunes 8 was released: CopyTrans Manager http://www.copytrans.net/manager.php

  • WiFi connection problems (different than others)

    Hello!
    I got an iPod touch 32GB 4 days ago and I have really big problems with WiFi. I cannot connect to any wifi i've tried. Even setting my own wifi unprotected and unfiltered, it still doesn't work. I've also tried at wifi connection at work. Yesterday a mate who has an iPod touch 8Gb and me tried to connect to our wifi at work, and he COULD connect to, but not me!!. Having one each iPod near to other, doing exactly the same steps. No way.
    These are the symptoms: I enter the password and it's accepted (if I enter wrong password, or filtered by MAC, I get a response telling that it's not possible to connect; but if I put the right password, it 'connects', tried WEP 40bits using Key1 and WPA PSK). The blue tick appears near to SSID, but there's no blue icon on the upper left of screen (near to 'iPod'). If I enter on configuration of the 'connected' network, I see that I have selected DCHP, but got no IP, no netmask, no router, no anything. So, if I try to set an Static IP, when I exit Settings pannel and enter again, the blue tick is still there, but the settings is set to DHCP again!!.If I sleep/wake iPod, then it appears disconnected.
    I'm really getting crazy!. The most incredible thing is that with an iPod 8GB it works and mine's which is an 32GB model and started to sell later, doesn't not work!.
    At home I have a Linksys WRT54GL using firmware OpenWRT 0.9. And at work it's one from Telefonica.
    Is maybe some kind of known bug that will be fixed on next update? (I really really beg for...). I read somewhere something about a wifi bug in 32GB edition of iPod Touch.... is that true?
    Is there something I could try? Any ideas?

    Hi Jason!
    I tried the 'Forget this network' several times, but it has no effect. The iPods doesn't get any IP from the router. I can't set an Static configuration anyway, it simply doesn't work. The Static configuration is erased when I leave Settings panel.
    In the router's log is not registered any DCHP query at all. I use MAC filtering, but I tried disabling it, no way. If I remove the iPod's MAC, I get an error while trying to connect. When I add the MAC to the list again, it 'connects' the same way I explained before. The same happens with security, bad password: error, good password: 'connects' but no IP no WiFi icon in iPod screen at top, just the blue tick near to the network name...
    At home I have two laptop, one PDA and some other wireless gadgets (from friends, etc) that I configured myself in the router and never had a single problem. But with the iPod I couldn't do anything :'(
    Thanks for the idea, anyway

  • IPod Touch Recognition Problem

    iPod Touch 4th generation: When I use a usb to sync my iPod to my computer; aolutely nothing shows up on both My Computer and iTunes, but the ipod charges.  I've tried multiple restarts of both my computer and itunes.  Also another cable was used as well as another computer to see if the ipod would show up at all.  When I completely uninstall Itunes My computer will recognize that there is indeed an ipod there, but as soon as Itunes is loaded...the ipod is no longer in existance.  I've been through the Apple troubleshooting sites, but nothing is actually working. 

    This is also happening to me. I installed Itunes 8.1 and my ipod touch 2g was acting buggy for a couple days so i decided to restore and it restored to ipod touch firmware, but Itunes sees it as an iPhone and gives me all the extra options. I have clicked restore and it only recognizes to restore it to iPhone firmware.

  • HT1296 One Ipod touch has a different Apple ID than the rest. We are unable to sync Ipod Touch with our computer to transfer music we already purchased. How can we get this music transfered?

    How can I transfer music from our computer to an Ipod Touch with a different Apple ID?

    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID listed and sign out and sign in with other ID
    You also may want to go to other places like:
    - Settings>iCloud
    - Settinge>FaceTime
    - Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and change the ID
    It may be best to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings and start over again and set up the iPod again with his account/ID

  • Will the iPod Touch 4th Generation get any other updates beyond 6.1.3?

    Will the iPod Touch 4th Generation get any other updates beyond 6.1.3?
    Also my dad's iPad which is a 2nd Generation got the ios 7 update and also the fact is my iPod touch 4th Generation is alot newer than my dads ipad
    Will my 4th generation get any thing similer to the ios 7 update or am I stuck with an outdated ipod touch?

    I doubt it.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory. The 4G only has 256 MB
    iOS 6.1.4 was only for the iphone 5 to correct a problem on that device only.

  • My local apple store is in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Do you reckon if I trade in my iPod touch 4g black (less than I year old) I will get a new white iPod touch for free??

    Please Post !!!!!!!!

    No, Apple does not offer that kind of exchange.
    If you had a valid problem covered under the Warranty or AppleCare, they would swap it out for an identical item (including same color).

    We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?

    There is no "adding" a device.  Simply plug the iDevice into the computer.  iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
    iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

    I want to download the new software on my ipod touch, on a different computer to what i usually sync my ipod to, and it keeps telling me i will lose all my downloads. i it possible to download the update on this computre, without deleting my information, and making this computer the main computer to sync my ipod to?

    A manual backup will help in your situation.
    Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your iPod got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
    Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
    Apps can be downloaded again for free, in some countries music as well: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • How to sync iPod Touch on a different computer

    My piece of junk PC got another virus last night and is currently disabled. (I am on husband's Mac right now). So I'm trying to access my podcasts & all that on my husband's computer. We have "authorized" his computer. He also set me up with my own User account (so our iTunes songs, shows and videos STAY separate).
    But "sync iPod" is grayed out for me now.
    When I try manually dragging last night's Podcasts to my iPod, nothing happens.
    When I try and do a checkbox that says "Sync iPod" it threatens to "replace my podcasts" with what I've selected (which I am afraid might mean that if I download last night's Anderson Cooper podcast, it could wipe out the other podcasts that I've put on my iPod and would like to keep). I am not sure this would happen, but I sure don't feel like taking a chance.
    So does anyone else know what to do when you try and use your iPod touch on a different computer?
    thanks

    OK, thanks. I heard that someplace else, too. This PC torture has got to end.
    Time to go find a MacBook that I can afford. Or even a desktop Mac for that matter, though I really did want it to be a laptop....
    (sigh)
    Thanks for your help!

  • Ipod touch Wifi problem... Please Help :(

    Hi. Ive just recently started having trouble with my ipod touch. I cant stand more then 10 yrds away witout it detecting my wifi. All my other devices work fine. Ive tried reseting my ipods and making it back to its normal form and resetting the network and still no result. Ive also turned it off for a few mins and still no results . I recently did though get a little crack on my ipod touch maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago on the top left part of the screen I dont know if that has anything to do with it or what... Idk what I can do. Could someone give me some advice. Should I go to an apple store today? How much might it cost to get this fixed?

    Here is Apple's price list. I suspect a hardware problem and it may be related to what caused the cracked screen.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/#us
    You may find that a third-party place like the following is less expensive:

  • 8gb Ipod Touch does not sync, many other problems

    Hello - If anyone has advice i would greatly appreciate it -
    Here's the deal. I was given an 8gb ipod touch for christmas last year. The device worked for for several months, one day however it got stuck in a loop where error (9) kept coming up saying that I needed to restore my ipod to the factory settings. I did this and when it finished verifying the installation process it would give me the same error. I took the ipod into the apple store and they tested it on their computer and it worked fine on that, however the took it anyway and gave me a free new one which came a couple days later.
    Since I have had the new one i have still had the same problems. I successfully was able to get my applications onto the ipod touch however when i tried to sync the music the ipod would freeze. When I checked the available space on the ipod it said that only 1.2gb remained eventhough there were no songs on the ipod at all. I tried to uninstall and reinstall itunes many times, i do receive an error message a lot on my computer saying that bonjour service is having issues and can not be accessed, but there is nothing that I do on my computer to cause this problem. My itunes again, with the new ipod touch, is asking me to restore the ipod to the factory settings again. Anyone have any idea what is going on or how it can be fixed?
    Thanks

    When it tells you new hardware is found, do you have the option to search the Internet instead of a CD?
    Be sure you turn off all antivirus, zone alarm, firewall etc. Go into Control Panel and check the Security settings as well as the task bar in the lower right corner. Make sure all those are disabled. Then try again.
    If still no luck, or you seem to be having USB problems, verify your USB is being recognized by XP by following these steps:
    1. From the Start menu, right-click the My Computer/Computer icon and choose Properties from the shortcut menu. The System Properties window opens.
    2. Windows XP and Windows 2000: Click the Hardware tab.
    Windows Vista: Click Device Manager. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
    3. In the Device Manager section of the Hardware tab window, click Device Manager. The Device Manager window opens.
    4. Double-click the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" entry.
    5. Double-click the name of each USB Host Controller that appears under the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" entry. A window with the name of the installed USB Host Controller appears.
    6. If necessary, click the General tab. If the USB card is working correctly, you should see "This device is working properly" in the Device Status field.
    If still no luck, look at [Updating the drivers on your Windows PC|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1768?viewlocale=en_US]particularly for updates to the CD or DVD drive, graphics card, sound card.
