Both of my computer and Itunes don't want to detect my Ipod-Touch-3G-32GB

Something really annoying happened to me. I was updating my Ipod Touch 3G-32GB when I accidently pull off the USB link. Now both of my computer and Itunes don't want to detect my Ipod. What am I suppose to do ? [sorry for the mistakes, I'm French]
PS: I can't recover my Ipod because the lock button is broken

Try using this program to place the iPod in recovery mode:

  • Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch.  Comp thinks it is a camera.  iTunes won't bring up devices at all.  I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes... getting beyond P/Oed!!!

    Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch.  Comp thinks it is a camera or something.  iTunes won't bring up devices at all.  I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes - updated iTunes completely demolished my computer's ability to recognize the sound card and computer had NO sound at all.  I had to uninstall iTunes, QT, AND my sound card and reinstall them all.  Sound worked fine, but now I can't sync my iPod.  Computer recognizes that "something" is hooked up (thinks it might possibly be a camera) and I get that "open with" window.  In "my computer" it shows that there is an "iPod" connected, but it is pictured as a camera.  In iTunes my username is no longer appearing (although account info is there) and NO devices whatsoever get listed.  There is nothing wrong with my USB ports or cable.  And of course Apple won't help anyone unless you pay them to. ... I am getting beyond P/Oed!!!  You pay hundreds for a product and all you get are headaches with their stupid bug infested software and no support at all.
    Can anyone out there help me clean up this unbelievable mess Apple and iTunes has created in my computer?
    Thank you.

    After three completely wasted days trying to figure all of this out I finally got it fixed - on my own - by reading dozens and dozens of rogue posts in indie forums from people that refuse to dish out money to have a company TRY and advise possible fixes on their own glitches.
    (here's a novel idea - fix the glitches Apple.  Or - don't send out updates filled with bugs in the first place)
    Everything (several applications) had to be uninstalled in a very specific order and then restarted , then it all had to be verified with manual deletions of leftovers, and emptying the recycle bin, then another restart, then iT had to be reinstalled again and the system restarted again, and two more update downloads. Holy!!!
    I love my little iPod touch, but I honestly must say, when this kind of thing happens (and it has several times now when I try to deal with iTunes or Apple), it makes me want to flush it down the toilet.

  • I have a new computer and it will not let me sync my ipod touch

    I am using a pc with windows 7 and I also installed itunes, but when I want to sync it tells me that it can only sync to one computer, and that syncing would erase all the data on the ipod touch. I need to get pictures, videos and music off my ipod touch.

    Thanks for your responses,
    but I am not worried about any music on my ipod touch, I have not even ever purchased a song from itunes, but only copied my own personal music cds.
    I need to get to my pictures and videos.
    Thanks

  • I have a 5th Gen iPod Touch. I went in my messages to save a video in my camera roll. The video is not in my camera roll but my memory keeps on going down and I don not want to restore my iPod. Please help me

    I have a 5th Gen iPod Touch. I went in iMessage to save videos that were sent to me in my camera roll. The videos do not appear in my camera roll but my memory keeps on going down. I do not know how to solve the problem. I do not want to restore my iPod but I want to get my memory back. Please Help ME

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    An "other" larger tha about 1 1/2 usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:

    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • I don't want to sync my ipod touch applications!!!!

    I downloaded a bunch of applications directly using my ipod touch. Later, I connected it to my computer to update music and itunes began to sync all those applications and copied them from the ipod to the computer. When I selected that I don't want to sync applications, itunes proceeded to delete all of them from my ipod.
    I don't sync my music or videos and I manipulate the content manually. I should be able to do the same with my applications. I don't need them on the computer. I just want to be able to use them on the ipod.
    The entire thing makes no sense. I downloaded apps to my ipod, the only place that I can and will use them and yet I am forced to always transfer them to my computer, where they are of no use. And on top of that, they get deleted from the ipod if I don't want to sync.
    Isn't there any way around this? Shouldn't there be a way to manually manage applications? If there is, I don't see it. Anyone have any suggestions?

    I think the idea is that an application downloaded directly to the iPod from the store is backed up into iTunes and then copied back onto the iPod. This way, if you lose the content of the iPod (one example, due to a restore) the application (that you have paid for - no differentiation between free and paid!) is not lost.
    The basic premise of an iPod is that it's a copy of your iTunes Library, and it's always recommended that your iPod is not the only place your content is stored.

  • Itunes 10.5 does not detect my ipod touch

    I recently update my itunes to 10.5 and when I connect my Ipod touch to my computer Ituens will not detected. My Ipod will show up on my computer but not on Itunes. Any ideas how can I fix this???
    I try restaring my Ipod, REinstalling Itunes but nothing work.. HELP PLEASE!!!!

    - Try moving the existing backup file to a safe location so iTunes has to create an entire new file.  It is located here:
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.
    - Directly download and install the iOS 5 using the information here:

  • How can I remove private browsing as an option on the Firefox Menu? My kids use this computer and I don't want them to be able to private browse.

    I want to remove the Firefox menu option for Private Browsing because my kids and teenagers use this computer. How can I do that? Private Browsing cannot be an option for my children. If I cannot remove it, is my only option to remove Firefox altogether?

    This is new. Read carefully the section "About this Add-on". Not 100%, but there is no real way to totally take PB out of Firefox; that is also the case for other browsers that have a similar feature, as far as I know:

  • My daughter is listed at "administrator" and I don't want her to be listed as that...I set up a new account for her but don't know how to undo administrator status?

    My daughter is listed as "administrator" on her computer and I don't want her to be...I have created another account for her but how do I remove the "administrator" priviledges?

    There has to be at least one administrator. Change the password of the old account. While logged in as that user, open the Accounts preference pane in System Preferences, authenticate, select the new account, and uncheck the box labeled "Allow user to administer this computer."

  • If i have 2 apple i.d.s both me, one linking to my computer and itunes, and the other to my phone can i merge these together?

    if i have 2 apple i.d.s both me, one linking to my computer and itunes, and the other to my phone can i merge these together?
    i havent used my computer in two years. in that time i recently got a iphone4s and started another apple id.
    i just set up my computer and my itunes on my computer has a different id. is it possible to merge these as one? the itunes on my computer has a no longer working email as well.
    so if i go to change the info on that to my current email it obviously wont let me because it is registered to "someone" else... ME..
    so is there any way to make the one on my computer the current one i have on my phone so i dont loose ALL my music from my computer??

    Sorry, but Apple IDs cannot be merged. You can, however, use more than one Apple ID/iTunes Store account on your computer and hence on your iPhone. If you've forgetten the password to your older ID, see:
    http://iforgot.apple.com
    once you get in, you can change the email address associated with that ID so that receipts and such are emailed to a current address.
    Regards.

  • My original computer that has my itunes account on it no longer works.  I am trying to import my phones itunes settings into my new computer and it is not letting me and I don't want to loose all my photos and music, what do I do?

    It does not magically appear in a new place.  It will only be where you put it.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • I just got an iPad 2 and have not yet synced to my computer. I don't want to have all the duplicate songs in my iTunes. How do I get rid of duplicates?

    I just got an iPad 2 and have not yet synced to my computer. I don't want to have all the duplicate songs in my iTunes. How do I get rid of duplicates?

    You don't say whether you are on PC or Mac. For Mac there are these two programs which might help (I havn't tried either) :
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/songsergeant.html
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/idupe.html
    There are probably similar programs for PCs, but I don't know what they are. On a PC you can hold the shift key and do File > Display Exact Duplicates (without the shift they may not be exact matches) - if one of each duplicate pair has the same date added then you can sort by that and then delete those with (or without) that date.
