A few things: my ipod touch (4 gen) is plugged into my computer and charging, but it doesn't appear on itunes. Also, it shows that the wifi signal is working, but then it's telling me it's not.
I also haven't exactly started up my ipod, I just plugged it into a laptop to get it working when I was on the road, but I planned to put it on a different computer where my info from my old Ipod nano is.
Start her for PC;
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
For Mac:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Mac OS X v10.6 or later: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart

If your sister's 4G iPod conect fin to the same computer then tyr the following:
- Reset the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Place the iPod in recovery mode and try to restore via iTunes. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Place the iPOd in DFU mode and try to restore.

What do I do when the iPod touch asks to be plugged into it ouch and nothing happens. The PC asks to use password on iPod touch and it can't be done.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
I updated my Ipod touch 4th gen (IO6 or whatever its called) And it has the picture that says to connect my ipod to Itunes, and I did, now it says "ITunes has detected an Ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this Ipod before it can be used with ITunes." I just updated it and now I have to restore it??! I don't wanna lose all my things on my ipod just for a stupid update! Please someone help!
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything... and you must continue with the Recovery...
See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
After you have Recovered your Device...
Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...

My daughter's ipod touch 4th Gen cannot sync over wi-fi and cannot be seen in the devices section of itunes for windows. I have gone through all steps of the troubleshooting guide. All of our other ios devices are wi-fi sync-ing fine. Can anyone help?
Not sure how long this has been a problem. Kids are young and I manually manage most things but recently having music synced is an issue. All software has been kept up to date.bayfsmithy wrote:

Bought my Daughter new ipod touch 4th gen to replace her old one and i want to get it ready for christmas by transferring everything (games, music etc) - how do i do this?
Also, if she sells her old one, would the new owner have access to account/bank details?You can transfer iTunes purchases from the old iPod to your computer then sync the new iPod.
Connect the old iPod, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click File > Transfer Purchases From
Now connect the new iPod and sync Apps, Music, etc.
As for selling the old one tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
That will erase all personal data from the iPod. -

To also use iCloud with your computer you need Lion for a Mac and at least Vista for a PC.

My ipod touch needed to be updated so I did and now it won't turn on all it does is show the itunes icon and says toconnect it to itunes so I did and let it be updated and now it wont turn on and I tried resetting but nothing changed.
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.

Emergency! Please Help. I have an iPhone 4 with all my pictures from the vacation on it and I plugged into my computer and it sync'ed to my ipod. all of my pictures are gone. How do I get my pictures back?
If all you did was sync your phone, and if you haven't synced again since this happened, you can restore your phone from the backup that was created at the beginning of the sync process (camera roll photos are included in the backup). If you have synced again since this happened this backup has already been overwritten and your photos are lost. Also, if you restored your phone from the backup of your iPod, rather than just synced, then your photos are lost too.
If you have an intact backup that contains these photos, do the following:
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences. On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing. -
My iPad doesn't appear in iTunes. I have followed the Apple troubleshooting guide, step by step. I have rebooted both devices, checked that I have a USB 2.0 and still it doesn't appear under devices. The iPad shows as a camera in iPhoto and downloads the photos but doesn't show as a device.
Do you have a PC? if so, go into the control panel, look for the add/remove programs. Look for one named something like 'apple mobile device support'. remove it and restart your computer. then plug your device in and see if the driver installs.

My iphone 3gs will not turn on. I plug it in to the wall and still get nothing...I plug into my computer and itunes nor my computer recognizes it, any ideas?
Could be a problem with the 30-pin connector port or the cable. Is there an Apple Store or Apple authorized support center nearby?

my ipod touch 4th gen froze! only blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off or connected to my laptop!
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
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."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again. -
When I open up the camera app on iPod Touch 4th Gen, the screen stays black and you are not able to take a picture/video. On the other hand when i'm FaceTiming someone, the front and back camera works fine. I went to the genius bar at the apple store and they restored my iPod and the camera was still not working but FaceTime still is working fine. Does anyone have any suggestions on why this might be happening or how I could get my iPod working like normal?
Try:
- 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Here's my story, sad, but true. I have an iMac, alas, without an internal cd burner. To burn my purchased music from iTunes I have had to use iTunes 5.x, plus QT 6.5.2, plus and early issue of Roxio Toast. Any deviation from this protocol and the fil
