  • IPod Touch is not recognized by Windows Computer or iTunes

    All the USB ports are fine and the cable work perfectly. When I plug in my Ipod it shows that its charging but the computers dont do anything.
    I checked devices and even fiddled with some third party softwares that might be blocking it but nothing is working.
    my Ipod, Itunes, computer, and antivirus software is all up to date. I tried reseting my Ipod and computer and reinstalling Itunes.
    I also uninstalled itunes removed all components and reinstalled still not recognized.
    I tried a second computer and have the same issue.
    Any Suggestions what to try next?

    Try a different charging/docking cable.  If that does not work then you may have a problem with the docking connector in the iPod itself...

    Your Touch is working correctly. Currently, without unsupported third party hacks, the Touch has NO disc mode. It will only show up in iTunes.

    I just updated one iPod, and using the same cord, I am trying to update to second iPod.  I went through and did the troubleshooting for the iPod, as well as making sure the mobile device is installed and running, but it still is not updating.  I restarted the computer and the iPod but it is still not being recognized by the computer or iTunes.  I dont understand how I have two identical iPods and the computer and iTunes will recognize one, but not the other.  Any help is really appreciated!!

    - Try another computer

    - Does it charge?
    - Try a 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.
    - Try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restore.
