IPod Touch shows plug into iTunes

iPod Touch shows plug into iTunes.  I did this, it took 2 hrs. to update then tells me it doesn't see the device to Restore.  I see the iPod icon in the left column under devices. 

What fixes many problems in programs is to uninstall and reinstall. If you lose all your apps and music, and the problem is not fixed, I give you the right to curse as loud as you want.

  • My Ipod Touch Shows Up Into Itunes, But I Can Click On It To Sync, Its Locked Or Something?

    Hi, i need Help, ever since i updated iTunes to the newest one i been having an issue, i plug in my ipod touch 5g and it shows up in itunes, but problem is i cant click on it, shows my device is plugged in but its locked or something and i cant open it to sync my ipod. as seen in picture the device shows up but i cant click on it wont let me, i cant go to the sync page.

    That means that iTunes is not seeing the iPod properly. Try:
    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
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • My iPod touch is plugged into PC. My iPod is shown, but when I drag content from iTunes library to it I end up with an error message that says it "Cannot copy item" then "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected."  What to do???

    Yes you can drag and drop music to the iPiod if you select Manually Manage Music and Videos in  iTunes.

    You do not drag the music to put it on the iPod, you click into the iPod tab and sync it with your library.

  • TS1363 I'm trying to update to newest software, but during proccess, an error accured, now the iphone 4s wont do anything, it only shows plug into itunes. when i do, the device is not recognized by windows or itunes. any ideas?

    im trying to update to newest ios version. but during the proccess, an unknown error accured, now the device wont do anything, just shows the plug into itunes screen. the device does not show in windows or itunes. the iphone wont do anything. i tried restarting, it shuts off and back on, but only shows plug into itunes thing. any ideas?

    From my experience, the only way you're gonna get a PC afflicted with this disease to work with a 5th gen nano is to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes.  Those affected have been exhausted by this ongoing issue.  To update or not to update?  And I always say never update unless you have to, and turn off all that auto update mess!
    I have two core2duo lappies running 32b vista.  My workflow dictates 32b fyi.  One is acer aspire running itunes v 11.1 (.0.126),  5th gen nano was originally formatted and works just fine on this machine to this day.  My other is the bigger badder lenovo thinkpad and the 5th gen will NOT mount using any version of itunes past 11.0 (.1.12)  Windows mounts it just fine.  itunes is not having it.  no shirt no shoes no service.
    I have both a 4th and 5th gen nano.  The 4th gen works great on both machines, I even successfully tested it with the latest version (11.1.5) before subsequent deletion on the thinkpad!  Weird huh?  I think my next experiment might be to restore my 5th gen w/ a Mac and theeeeen plug it into PC itunez.
    I'm at a loss on the thinkpad.  Scanned for intruders.  Cut the Lenovo bloat.  Executed system and reg maintenance.  Took down msconfig to a safe mode + itunes level to attempt to resolve possible sw conflicts but to no avail.  NO NO NO.  Every single dang port, every time on the thinkpad.  Has me feeling like others might get the same treatment by the next itunes update.  :|
    So in summary for me:
    5th gen nano and thinkpad are a NoGo on 11.1^  last working version for me = 11.0.1
    5th gen nano is working on an acer aspire 11.1.0  but no way in the world am I updating
    4th gen nano is kicking 5th gen nano's @zz so what would make me want to buy a new ipod?

  • Why does my ipod touch show up in iTunes then disappear?

    Why does my ipod touch show up in iTunes then disappear?  The computer seems to recognize it as a camera device, rather than a mass storage device.  Does this have anything to do with the problem?  When plugged in, a window pops up asking which photo program you'd like to use, and if you cancel, that's it.  Even if you try to open a photo program, and download your photos off of the ipod, it still won't show up in itunes.

    Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:

  • HT1386 Why do all my playlists disappear when I plug my iPod Touch Gen 5 into iTunes?

    When I plug my iPod touch gen 5 into my MacBook into iTunes (the latest version) using my included USB cord, it deletes all of my playlists on the iPod. Why is this and how can I make it stop?

    If you don't have the same playlists on your computer, your iPod will sync to your computer. On your computer,while iPod plugged in, go to the top and push the music button. At the top of the new page, push the button called don't sync music

  • Why won't my iPod touch show up in iTunes or Windows, tried ALL the support troubleshooter "fixes"

    Hi:
    I've had this problem since first connecting the Ipod. It won't show in either iTunes nor in Windows explorer/my computer. I've also tried the same 
    setup on Windows 7, same PC a with a dual-boot with XP Pro setup. I've carried aout all the troubleshooting steps suggested here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 & re-installed all necessary software, latest versions.Can't find any conflicts on PC.....anybody got any suggestions?
    BTW iPod is 3rd. generation.

    It turns out that I had to reinstall iTunes from scratch. I got the tip from
          iTunes: How to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service on Mac OS X 10.6.8 or Earlier
    I'm 95% sure it had to do with me installing Xcode 4 to get the "FileMerge" utility for some other development effort totally unrelated to Xcode.
    Regardless, it's working again.

  • My ipod is stuck plug into itunes screen, what do i do?

    How do I fix it

    If necessary try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - Try on another computer
    - 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 shows up in Itunes, but does not display sync screen.

    It does not sync or backup. The backup bar gets stuck at about 5%. I have removed and reinstalled iTunes several times and still nothing. I have also restored the ipod and that did nothing as well. Please help

    No error messages. I just can't drag anything into my music folder and if I check a playlist, artist, song or anything the "apply" button stays greyed out and I can't sync.

  • ITunes 8.1 freezes when iPod touch is plugged in, unfreezes when pluggedout

    I've just updated my iPod touch 1st gen to 2.2.1, it was working and syncing perfectly for two days. This morning, when the iPod touch was plugged into iTunes, iTunes froze when the iPod was recognized by the computer. I tried plugging the iPod touch out of the computer, and iTunes almost instantly went back to functioning correctly.
    If I attempt to start iTunes with the iPod already plugged in, it starts up frozen and does not function. I have to use Task Manager to manually quit the process every time.
    This is all still strange since the only thing different I did from last night is download several podcasts and update one app. I've tried deleting these podcasts and uninstalling the app, but to no avail.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Dave,
    Try putting the iPod into recovery mode and restoring it in iTunes as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    This would erase the contents of the iPod but you can check iTunes for a backup before restoring from recovery mode. This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 provides more information about iPhone backups.
