Brand-new iPod touch won't synch

I bought a new touch and hooked it into the USB2.0 port. The iPod chirped, the picture of iTunes appeared on the screen. Then - nothing. The screen went blank. iTunes never turned on. However, the battery continued to charge. I tried all my USB ports with no difference. Any ideas?

Hello, 
Do you have the very latest version of iTunes installed?
Is the USB2.0 original or is it an upgrade?

  • My brand new ipod touch won't let me download apps.

    My brand new ipod touch won't let me download apps.  I put in my password and then get a screen that says "Download Now".  I can't press the okay button to start the download.  What should I do?  All of the other buttons on the screen work, so I don't think it is broken.

    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.  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.

  • Brand new Ipod touch won't charge or turn on

    I recently got a brand new Ipod touch. The first thing I did was plug it in to charge it. A red battery icon showed up on the screen. I left the ipod on the charger for hours and the icon was still red. It won't turn on either. I have tried connecting it to ITunes but the red battery icon just comes up whenever I plug it into the computer and it does not show up on itunes. I am new to the ipod touch so maybe I am doing something wrong, or is there a fault in the ipod??
    Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated,
    Thanks!

    First try reset.
    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.

  • Brand new iPod touch won't sync:

    My girlfriend got a 8GB iPod touch for Christmas. I just plugged it into her Vaio (Windows 7) laptop to sync her iTunes (which is the latest version). The first time it froze some 4 songs into the sync. The whole computer was frozen & I had to force it to restart. Long story short, I went through this process numerous times, each time doing a complete reset on her iPod & starting from fresh every time on the iTunes sync. However, every single time, it freezes at a certain point of the sync process.
    I am assuming this is a hardware issue, since I also have a brand new 64GB touch syncing as we speak on my desktop computer.
    Anybody else having this problem & have a solution?

    I'm getting the same problem. I thought it was something that went wrong during downloading, so I was going to try and re-download the songs. I don't know if that'll work though.

  • Brand new iPod touch, won't regognize on my mac book pro please help!, brand new iPod touch, won't regognize on my mac book pro please help!

    I recently bought I new iPod Touch 32gb, and It won't regognize on my computer (Mac Book Pro) I had the same problem with my previous touch but I shrugged it off as old age. any suggestions on what to do?

    Well since it has not been charging on multiple computers i would take a look at replacing the usb cable. Something could not be connecting right or just needs to be replaced. If this has already been done it is starting to sound like a battery issue with the ipod.
    Hope this helps!!

  • Brand new ipod touch won't display home page

    Hi Folks
    Just bought 2 new Ipod Touch's for the kids for xmas. One turns on fine and went straight to the home page and allowed me to personalise it but the other one starts up and just displays a picture of the USB cable and an upward arrow pointing to an ITunes symbol. It won't allow me to go to the homepage. Have i done something wrong????? Help

    It needs to be restored.  The only way to do that is to connect it to iTunes and restore as new.

  • Brand new iPod touch won't stay connected to Wifi

    I got a brand new white iPod touch for Christmas, and I can get it to connect to the internet and I can use the internet, but then after a few minutes it drops off the connection and I have to go back in and reconnect it. I know there isn't anything wrong with the wifi connection at my house because I have an older iPod touch (3rd generation) and it has always connected and stayed connected without a problem. My mom and brother also got the same iPod touches for Christmas, and theirs do the same exact thing.

    Change the router SSID (network name) and password to something shorter than the defaults.  If you dig into the router configuration web page you will find a short SSID.  My SSID is 5 characters long, and the password I use is 10 charcters long.

  • Brand new iPod Touch, won't charge!

    Hi there,
    Have posted this under another topic but hope to get some more exposure here.
    Just as a disclaimer, I work for a retail store in New Zealand. Have taken a returned iPod touch home to try and fix, but am stuck! This iPod still belongs to my employer however, needs to be restored to a re-sellable condition.
    Basically, the iPod touch will not charge. It is forever stuck on the 'no charge' screen with the red battery symbol and the lightning bolt at the bottom. This is when it is plugged in (have plugged it in to a PC, my Mac and wall charger). When not plugged in, same symbols appear except with a plug symbol, pointing to the lightning bolt.
    When plugged in, the iPod doesn't show up in iTunes or Disk Utility, same on the HP PC laptop I also tried it on.
    I put the iPod into DFU mode and restored it to the latest firmware with iTunes on my Mac. However, once the iPod has finished restoring, iTunes tells me it will show up after rebooting but once the countdown has finished, the same stupid 'no charge' symbols appear.
    By the way, this iPod has been left charging on two different wall chargers overnight, I have tried restoring it several times and still to no avail.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I am totally stumped.
    Cheers!

  • Brand new iPod touch won't connect with iTunes

    Hi,
    I have just been given an iPod Touch (32 gb) and am trying to get it to work.
    I started by down loading a new copy of iTunes (there was an old version on my computer) and installing it. I plugged in the iPod and for a few seconds it displayed the apple logo. Then a symbol showing a usb cable with an arrow pointing to a iTunes logo appeared. The computer detects the iPod, but iTunes doesn't. I have not been able to progress past this screen. Initally, I thought that it might not have charged, so I left it plugged in for a few hours. I contacted Apple, and on their instructions, I've tried turning it off and doing a restore. I've also removed iTunes and then reinstalled it. I've tested my setup on an old iPod (iTunes detects it fine) and another iPod Touch (iTunes doesn't detect it). When the iPod Touch is connected to a Mac, it works fine.
    My computer uses Windows XP and is about six years old.
    Does anybody have an idea for something else I can try? Thank you in advance.

    Try removing your Security Software(nortons,Zone alarm,Mcaffe etc)or at least turning it off and reboot, then delete the driver installed for your i-pod and reinstall the driver, then reinstall your Security System.Hope that helps it worked for me!!!!

  • Brand new iPod touch won't do anything over WiFi

    My iPod touch arrived in the mail this morning and since I charged it up it either a) browses extremely slow in Safari and then quits or b) continues to claim there is no network connection.
    I currently have it downgraded to WEP and now nothing works, Mail, Safari, not even the Weather app will update. YouTube has never worked at all.
    I'm on 2.1.1 software and have since discovered this forum is full of WiFi problems. Needless to say I am very dissatisfied with this and had I known the iPod touch is absolutely useless for WiFi I would've saved $100 and just got a nano instead.

    Hi. I read through this thread and many others (seems many people have problems connecting iPod Touches to the internet) and have tried to connect my iPod touch. I have a Linksys WRT5G V8 router, a Zyxel -600 Series modem, a PC running windows xp, and a MacBook. My PC and Macbook run fine. My iPod touch does not.
    I have updated the firmware. I have made a full bridge connection. I have restored my iPod. I have power cycled the modem and router.
    If you will bear with me, I will now post what my setting are on my router with the hopes someone will be able to help me make a connection with my iPod. I should point out that like others, I am able to connect to the internet, but not download any pages or send/receive mail.

    Http proxy -- off
    So....by looking at the above, can someone please tell me what to do to make the iPod touch connect to the internet and download pages?
    I have spent hours upon hours and then more hours trying to make this thing work. I paid and additional fee to Linksys to have them troubleshoot the problem but the first guy i spoke with said I had to do the bridge connection so we hung up and when he called back, I was out and he never called back so I called Linksys. Despite the fact that I explained how I had spoken with an advanced tech, the man would not transfer me and insisted my problem was solved because my pc, laptop, and iPod did connect to the network -- never mind the fact that 1 of the three didn't work properly which was the sole purpose of my phone call to begin with.
    I would really like to get the iPod going -- my daughter just bought her's and is anxiously looking forward to being able to use it.
    In closing, I'm wondering if I should give up with this particular router and buy a new one...but which new one? The Apple tech recommended either an Airport Extreme or Airport Express -- has anyone had success connecting these to iPod Touches?????
    Thanks!

  • Brand new Ipod touch won't connect

    You have the latest version of iTunes installed? Your OS meets spec (10.4.10, I believe)?
