HELP!! itunes doesn't recognize my ipod touch and i've tried everything!!!

Alright, so i got an ipod touch this morning and came home to put music on it. first things first, it read it as a camera. i downloaded the new version of itunes and that seemed to take care of that problem. I tried everything on the apple website to try and fix the problem but it just won't read it. It works fine on my mom's computer but all my music is on this computer. what can i do??

Ok people after messing up three days with my jailbroken ipod touch cauze my itunes didn't recognize it i figured out that the problem is first windows recognized it as a imaging device o as a camera, i found in the device manager was listed mi apple ipod under portable devices and there was the problem it has to be listed under universal serial bus controllers named as a apple ipod so this is what i did but first make sure u have correctly installed itunes and the apple mobile device support:
1 open the device manager or windows button + r is run and then type devmgmt.msc
2 look for the portable devices and find the apple ipod or wherever that is listed on your pc.
3 once u find the apple ipod do a right click on it and click on uptade driver software
4 take the manualy opcion or browse on my computer and then look for this folder on your computer C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
there should be the driver that itunes recognize and your windows wont recognize your ipod as a camera again but i repeat u have to make sure u have installed the apple mobile device support u can get it by extracting the itunes+quicktime package using winrar. so click on update or next what ever on the update process and next time itunes will open your ipod for sincying thanks to forums ilounge.com

After I reset my Ipod (deleted all data and settings) windows 7 doesn't recognize by ipod touch, and it doesn't appear in the itunes library or in the device menu, but it does charge. How can I get my computer to recognize it again?

My itunes doesn't recognize my ipod touch because I've never connected it before and it is disabled, it won't let me restore it, it says to enter a passcode in order to connect and I can't because it is disabled

My ipod touch is disabled and it says to connect to itunes to restore. I have never added the ipod to my devices on my itunes so when I connect it says that itunes doesn't recognize the device. I then put it in recovery mode and connected it to itunes and I clicked restore and it says that itunes can't connect until I put in the passcode, but I can't put in a passcode because it is disabled!!! I don't know how to fix it and it is only a month old, should I take it back?

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.

ITunes doesn't recognize my iPod touch 1G

Hello,
I have an iPod touch 1G (iPhone OS 3.0) and suddenly iTunes stops to recognize it. I tried with two cables (iPod touch and iPhone) and on a PC (windows 7 and windows XP) and on my Mac (Snow Leopard) and nothing recognize.
It is as if there was nothing in the USB, but I believe there is no problem with the cable and not with the hardware of the iPod, because I load the iPod with the battery taken from the iPhone.
I tried to enter restore mode, it appears the cable and iTunes on the screen, but as any computer recognizes can not reinstall the iPhone OS.
Does anyone know a solution?

For whatever reason, it sounds like Apple Mobile Device Service is not working properly: See this article for some troubleshooting tips: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747

HELP! iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod touch

okay well i've had my ipod touch for a few months now and i've never had a problem with iTunes not recognizing it or anything until now. The last time i put new songs on my ipod was december 23/08 and it worked perfectly, but now i go and plug my ipod into the computer and iphoto opens up and recognizes it just like usual; so no problem there. but then itunes on the other hand has that little loading circle that says that its loading but it's been like that for half and hour and hasnt done anything. I right clicked on the icon and it says "Application not responding" in light grey letters. I know that the USB ports arent faulty or anything because on my ipod it says that its charging. To fix it ive tried reseting my ipod, reseting the computer, updating itunes, downloading itunes and installing it all over again, plugging it into another USB port and still nothing at all happens. It has been like this for the past week and is getting very frustrating.
Im not sure what else to do. do you think it's my ipod? or itunes? If anyone knows why this is happening please tell me! any help is deeply appreciated!
(I put this question in the itunes section and ipod touch because i wasnt sure which one it belonged in)

Does this problem occur when you open iTunes without having your iPod connected? You migh want to try the uing the disk utility to repair disk permissions. It's in Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility. Click on the drive that iTunes is on and click repair permissions.

My PC iTunes doesn't recognize my Ipod touch as a device???

Hi there,
I am fairly new to the world of Apple, but am using many devices now for my small business. I have an Iphone 4S, an Ipad 2, and 2 Ipod touch 4th generations.
My computer recognizes all the devices, except for one of the Ipod Touchs. I am not sure what to do. When I connect it to my PC it makes a sound, but not the same sound the other devices make when they are recognized.
I would appreciate any help,
Thanks!

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.
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My I tunes doesn't recognize my iPod touch , and my PC does..

the Ipod charged and Sound as has detected a device .. plz i really need some help>>

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If you haven't already done so, download and install the most recent version of iTunes for the version of OS X installed on your MacBook.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If your iPod still isn't recognized after downloading and installing iTunes, it's likely that your iPod sync cable is flaky, or perhaps the docking port on the iPod itself.

TS1363 no matter what I do Itunes will not recognize my ipod nano..I've tried everything and all directions

No matter what I try i can not get itunes to recognize my ipod nano when I connect. I have tried multiple trouble shooting fixes on the site.

I have tried all that…I have tried multiple chargers and have not had any success! I think I have a lemon! Not too happy about all this either because I will probably have to pay for support since I have had the phone for more than 90 days
While Apple may request a Pay-Per-Incident, if it is determined that your device has a hardware issue, that PPI will bewailed after troubleshooting is completed. Or, you can request that they waive that if you've already done a lot of troubleshooting. The PPI is only for issues that a user could resolve on their own but want Apple to provide a walkthrough over the phone. You can get free support by going to an Apple Store instead, for example, as well.

I updated to iTunes 10.2.2, and now it doesn't recognize my iPod Touch!

I updated my computer to Snow Leopard, and I was prompted to update iTunes to 10.2.2. Okay, did that. Now iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod whatsoever! But my computer does as a whole: i.e., Aperture automaticaly opens as it usually does when I plug in my iPod.
So this is great. And there's no bug fix; I've googled for the past hour now. Is anyone else having this issue and is there a fix? Because for now, I can't update my iPod at all!

Have you seen this article yet?

If nothing else, try upgrading to iTunes 10.3.1.

Mac OS X 10.6.3 doesn't recognize my iPod touch 3.1.3

Help please. My Mac OS X 10.6.3 doesn't recognize my iPod touch 3.1.3, I am using Xcode 3.2.3 now. My iTunes is 9.2.1(5). What will I do?

Have you tried here:
Mac OS X v10.6 or later: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Is there any reason your OSX is not updated to the latest 10.6.7 and iTunes to 10.2.X? That may also help.
