My ipod touch is not recognized on itunes and will not turn on or even give me the battery sign that it is dead. I turned it off and it won't turn back on now. The screen is completely black and won't do anything. I have tried charging it over night and nothing happened. It was never near water. I have tried troubleshooting it by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button, but nothing happened and it didn't work. What can I do to fix it?

Hi I had a similar issue with my 160gb Classic
Went through many things with Apple on the phone all to no avail.
Took it to the Genius Bar and managed to get it recognised by iTunes and then restore....but when i plugged it into my MBA or IMac it was not recognised by iTunes and just appeared on the desktop..again.
Given that i am using Yosemite and iTunes 12 and reinstalled iTunes, Apple answer was to do a reinstall on my MBA!
Reluctantly i did this and it worked!!!!!!!!
It was recognised by the ancient iTunes9 before updating to 12 again and it was still recognised....
Just got to reinstall all my music, photos, documents.....at least i have my retro 160Gb iPod Classic to load everything on....
hope this helps

IPod Classic 160GB not recognized by iTunes

I have an iPod Classic 160GB in version 2.0.4 that is not recognized by itunes.
It's about 2 years old and had presented a few problems with sincying in the past, but I hadn't tried to sync it for a while.
I've transfered all the music from my Windows PC to my Mac, and the iPod was Windows formated.
It started presenting a problem to transfer all my music content from iTunes (Mac) to the iPod, but after severel hours, it only transfered a few hundreded. I've tried it several times.
So, I tried to restore it, both in Windows and Mac PCs, but the problem persisted. A hard reset didn't solve it either.
But now I have a bigger problem. The iPod is not recognized by the iTunes anymore, and the program freezes anytime I try to connect ir. As soon as it is disconnected, everything is back to normal. But the Ipod always reboots.
It is recognized in the desktop tough.
Here's what I've already tried unsuccesfully:
1. Hard Reset.
2. Put it in disk mode. Still not recognized.
3. Use Disk Utility. The disk verification says everything is in order. I've erased all content as well as format it in Mas OS Extended (Journaled). Later I've tried to erase it again but now displays a message error saying it cannot unmount the disk.
4. Used differente USB ports.
5. Saw all Apple support solutions. None worked.
6. Researched a whole bunch of forums, including this one. Noticed a lot of people with the same problem, but had difficulty finding one more recent, so I decided to open a new discussion.
I would really appreciate any suggestions.
Ipod Classic 160GB (2.0.4)
Itunes (10.6)
Mac OS Snow Leopard.
Windows XP.

It seems to be working now. Amazing!
I would like to thank you both for the help, CaliforniaHighwaysGuy and AncientMumu.
Here's what I did. I wasn't getting folder acces from my Windows XP because it was Macintosh formated.
So I connected it again to the Mac and used an online tutorial to be able to access the hidden files through Terminal. (I'm not sure if it's allowed to post links to tutorials from other sites, but I'll look into the rules and post, if possible).
Had to relaunch FInder a few times as it stopped responding from time to time. Went to iPod_Control > iTunes and erased all the files.
Disconnected the iPod, as it was still not recognized by iTunes (10.6).
Connected it to my Windows, wich has the 10.4 version of iTunes. Restored (Windows format) it and disconnected.
Went back to the Mac, and it was recognized. I Didn't restore it.
I've already transfered one album and it synced just fine. (One of the problems I was having is that the music transfer was really slow).
Already reconnected the iPod and it was once again recognized after a few seconds.
I really appreciate all the help.
I'll try to updated this post in a few days saying if it's still working properly.

Ipod Classic (160GB) not recognized by iTunes on Win7 64bit

when I connect the iPod classic to my PC (64 bit Win7), I receive a driver software installation error message. Apple Mobile Device USB Driver indicates FAILED. Device Manager shows the "Apple MObile Device USB Driver" within the USB controller section with a "yield" symbol,which of course indicates a driver problem. I have followed the online troubleshooting steps, including trying other USB ports and even re-installing iTunes. The same error message however appears. It was not that long ago that all was working just fine on this system. What next ?

Hey I'm not any way a representative of Apple or Microsoft but I'll see if I can help (and any advice I give may or may not work):
I think the problem with USB drivers is that they partially install then get messed up. Occasionally that leaves your USB drivers messed up but Windows thinking it's ok.
The way I'd go about this kind of problem is to uninstall the USB drivers as though they never existed using third party software such as USBDeview.
You can download the 64 bit version here: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview-x64.zip
More info (if you want to find out how it works): http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
Using USBDeview, you may want to uninstall any drivers that are causing the issue. Make sure you uninstall the correct drivers that you recognise (from the description).

TS1410 iPod classic suddenly not recognized by iTunes

My 30Gb Ipod suddenly is no longer recognized in iTunes on my MacBook Pro. And all the music on it appears to have been wiped clean. However when I plug it into a PC, the device is recognized as a portable hard drive that it wants to reformat. And iTunes does still sync fine with my iPhone and iPod Nano. Can anyone help with this please?

Well, my 3rd gen iPod (that's so old it has to connect using FireWire), my 4th gen iPod (2004 model), and my 1st gen iPod shuffle (from 2005) all still work fine on my iMac with the latest iTunes. Can't believe everything on the Internet...
If it looks like the iPod currently has no songs on it when you look on the iPod, you should probably do a Restore on the iPod using iTunes. There may be data corruption on the iPod's hard drive. This is done from the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes. This will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install its software, and set it to default setting.
Since the iPod is not being recognized by iTunes when connected, put the iPod into Disk Mode first

Hopefully, iTunes will now see it. It may say the iPod is in "Recovery Mode." Try doing a Restore, if possible.

IPod Classic 120gb Not Recognized by iTunes

Hello All,
Just completed an upgrade to iTunes v 10.6 and my iPod is no longer recognized by the Software on my 64 bit Windows 7 OS Laptop. I've heard that this may be a common problem with older iPod's on versions 10.5 or 10.6., is there going to be a patch to fix this problem (new version) or id downgrading to an older version the best thing to do. Everything was working fine prior to the upgrade so I am completely positive this is where the problem lies. As a FYI - the iPod shows up as a device under My Computer.
So......what to do?
Thanks

Nevermind....rebooted the iPod and all is well

TS1538 My ipod classic is sometimes recognized by itunes and a message that the ipod was corrupted and would need to be reset.

I have an ipod classic 120gb. The other day it just quit working after I downloaded an ebook to it. I have tried 3 different computers with 3 different operating systems (Windows 7, Vista and XP) and I have received the same response from all after I hooked up my ipod to itunes (running latest version). The message comes back that the ipod has been corrupted and needs to be reloaded. I downloaded the software and it appears to be loaded onto the ipod as I get a message back that it is restarting the ipod. However, after this "restart", it just appears to die and is never recognized by itunes. I do a safe disconnect from Windows, closed itunes and bring it up again, but it does the same thing. The ipod does show up in my Windows control panel.
I feel like I am lost in some continuous vicious loop, any suggestions out there? Thanks....

TS1538 My iPod Touch is not recognized in iTunes and not seen in My Computer (Windows XP) either.

My problems began whe I got the notice that iTunes 10.6.3 was ready to update.
I have a iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
I have followed all of the troubleshooting steps. I have uninstall all of my security software. I have followed the steps to uninstall itunes and all of the other programs in order. I have re-installed itunes multiple times.
I noticed that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed under the Device Manager. However, when I follow the directions to "Update the driver" I can navigate to the usbaapl.inf driver file but when I hit the OK button to install I get an error "The specificied location does not contain information about your hardware" and it will not install the usb driver.
What do I do now??? Any suggestions?

Try recovery or DFU mode.

Brand new iPod Shuffle is not recognized by iTunes and Win XP Laptop

I have iPod nano and iTunes 7. Just got a brand new iPod Shuffle (2nd Gen). Neither iTunes nor my laptom recognize the iPod Shuffle - it is not even getting charged. I tried all the tips from the offical support, but nothing works.
Should I just throw it away and get a new one or is there a way to make it work?
Laptop Windows XP

Why would you throw it away if it is in warranty? Why not exchange it?
What kind of laptop is it?

IPOD TOUCH IS NOT RECOGNIZED IN ITUNES OR ON MY COMPUTER

I have a nano, a shuffle, and an I touch. My nano and shuffle sync fine but my I Touch is not recognized by either Itunes or my computer and the message I get says to go to my nearest Apple Store. The nearest store is 200 miles away from me. I'm pretty sure my warranty has expired.
I have charged it fully although it was not charged when I started trying to sync. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I just installed the latest iTunes. It found my 64GB touch 3G no problem. An hour later, it no longer can recognize it (iTunes takes forever to load). This happ4ned 2 weeks ago, with the last iTunes upgrade. I had to restore it, losing everything on it. I won't do that again. I did not hing to my computer/itouch between working an hour ago and now. My iTouch is less than a year old. There is no excuse for it to be broken. There are no Apple stores by me, either. There is no reason for the iTouch to stop being recognized randomly.
