my ipod touch 2g is no longer being recognized by itunes why and what can i do i have reset it and everything

If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    Hi cecebabymusik,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Try the specific steps below for the your iPod touch first:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    If the issue is not resolved, you may need to uninstall iTunes and all of it's components, and reinstall the latest version as explained in this article:

  • I have an ipod touch with ios 5.1.1 that wont connect to wifi. what can i do?

    have an ipod touch with ios 5.1.1 that wont connect to wifi. what can i do? Ive done a restore, recovery, and still wont connect.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. Not clear if you did this type of restore
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My ipod nano is not showing up on my computer or itunes when I plug it in.  I have reset it and restarted computer, I have also downloaded new itunes.  My other ipod shows up fine so I know its not the computer or cord.

    My ipod nano 6th generation is not showing up when I plug it into the computer.  I have reset it and restarted the computer, I also have downloaded latest itunes.  My other ipod nano shows up so I know its not the cord or computer.  It is not showing up in itunes either.

    That seems to be a clear indication of an issue with your iPod and not your PC or USB cable. Have you tried resetting the Nano with it still connected to your PC?

  • Ipod Touch version 4.2.1 not recognized by iTunes

    All I'm doing is trying to update the songs on it. I know apps and such will no longer update, but it's ridiculous that I can't plug it in and put some songs on. The iPod Touch version is 4.2.1 and my current itunes is 11.5.1. I'm currently using Mountain Lion so 10.8.5 for the computer version.
    If I need to get an earlier version of iTunes, can someone tell me how to get it on there? Do I have to get rid of the current itunes version or what?

    The current version of iTunes is bacward compatible with all iPods.

  • New IPod Touch 4th Gen isn't being recognized by my computer or itunes.

    I got a new IPod Touch yesterday and I am finally getting the time to sit down and set everything up and when I plugged it in it makes the charging sound but itunes is not finding it and neither is my computer. I've been messing with it for hours now and at one point my computer thought the IPod was a camera. I've tried updating itunes to the newest version, uninstaling/reinstaling the drivers, even tried updating the IPod to iOS 6 thinking that might help but still nothing. What am I missing?

  • IPod Touch 4G running iOS 6 not recognized by iTunes 10.7

    After updating my iPod Touch 4G to iOS 6 from the device itself and then updating iTunes on my PC to 10.7, whenever I connect the iPod Touch, it gives an error saying "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes."
    My computer is running on a 64-bit OS, and the version of iTunes I installed is 64-bit. I have already tried the methods given by Apple to fix this (uninstalling iTunes and all other Apple software and reinstall iTunes, running Apple Mobile Support program, etc...). How can I get my iPod Touch to be recognized properly?
    *Note: I am still able to update my old iPod Video 5G without a problem*

    I agree it it the driver since the diagnostics say:
    Apple Mobile Device Driver not found.

  • My iPod Touch 2G 4.2.1 is acting up on me. What can I do?

    I have an iPod Touch 2G with an iOS of 4.2.1. I've had it since 2011, when I found it slightly beaten up but still usable in the bottom of an old sofa chair. I think that one of my relatives accidentally let it slip from their pocket, but that's another story. Since then, I've used it as my main portable Internet device. I've also jailbroken it. Unfortunately, the past few days have seen it work really badly, so much so that I had to reset the whole thing. Last night, I attempted to reset it. The instructions said that the reset would take about two hours to complete. But now, the thing keeps loading, shutting down, and re-loading and re-shutting down over and over. No main screen, just the Apple logo and my jailbreak logo, and then it shuts down and does it over and over and over and over. It's been almost 24 hours since I began to reset my iPod Touch. I'm so worried. I tried to disrupt the process by holding the home and power buttons at the same time, but no response. My computer can't even get it to respond.
    I cannot afford to purchase a newer model (or even an iPad) or have it repaired. I'm on food stamps and still looking for work. Plus, the iPod Touch's warranty ran out years before I came across it, so Apple can't send me a new one. I have another iPod, but it's an iPod Classic. I've had it for over four years and it's become an indispensable part of my life, and so has the iPod Touch. I'm extremely upset right now. If I took this to the nearest Apple Store's Genius Bar and asked for help, I would probably be laughed out of the store. I just don't know what to do.

    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. The appointment is free.

  • Ipod touch 6.1.3 not being recognised by iTunes 10.7

    Just got a secondhand iPod Touch. It is on 6.1.3 and I have iTunes 10.7 running on my iMac 10.6.8.  As far as I can see 6.1.3 is supported on iTunes 10.7.  I tried the Apple trouble-shooting page but to be honest it wasn't that helpful.
    If I set up Home Sharing then I can Home Share using the iPod Touch...which says that I do have connectivity at some level.  Just that it is not being recognised by iTunes and so I am unable to load my apps or transfer any music over.

    Many thanks lllaass
    I had gone through the first part without success but had decided not to go through the second stage. But following your recommendation I did just that and it works!

  • TS1538 Ipod Touch stuck in DFU mode, not recognized in itunes after 1602 error restoring.

    I've tried all of the: Hold Power button and Home items. It's plugged into the computer, screen is black. Windows sees the apple mobile device driver under devices and hardware. The driver's properties says it's in DFU mode. It was constatnly stuck in Recovery mode showing the CD+music note icon and the 30-pin connector image. Connecting the ipod to the computer, windows makes the connection sound but itunes does not open. Opening itunes, ipod is not recognized.
    It's a gen 1 touch, version 2.? firmware, I think.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
