Hi Myshway,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Have you looked at Knowledge Base Document #93716 about What To Do When Your iPod Shows Up In Windows, But Not iTunes? Have you tried "The Five Rs"?

Help setting up my new IPod Touch on iTunes on windows 7 64bit

Hello there,
I need help setting up my new IPod Touch to my Itunes 10 application on a PC running windows 7 64bit. I have watched the tutorial on how to do it but what the tutorial says it is supposed to do is not what is happenning for me:
1. In the tutorial it tells you to connect your ipod to your computer, then, (if it is for the first time) when the ipod appears and is selected, a window will come up allowing you to name your ipod, and begin selecting the options you wish to use.
I did as instructed but quickly came against some technical issues.
My issues:
1-1: When I selected the new iPod Touch for the dirst time I got an error message.
A) This was quickly fixed once I calld up apple support on the phone (turns out an IE browser setting was blocking it.)
1-2: With that fixed I selected my iPod Touch again but instead of the window indicated by the tutorial, I instead got an iPod registration form window.
1-3: I filled out the form and pressed the submit button (thinking everything was fine), then a new window came up that looks like this:
Free Find My iPhone
Free Find My iPad
Free Find My iPod touch

The first three lines and the first paragraph are indented as if there should be some type of graphic there, but it is missing. The underlined words indicate that they are supposed to be links, but they don't go anywhere, they are broken!
Now wheenever I connect my iPod Touch and select it the above window comes up and nomatter what I try it will not move or change.
Please help!

Refurbished iPod Touch Help Please?

Hello,
I'm considering purchasing two of the iPod Touch for my wife and I for Christmas. Considering that the cheapest one is $229, I thought about the refurbished ones that are selling a lot cheaper and I'm interested in maybe getting those.
I found the refurbished iPod Touch here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/FA623LL/B?mco=MTgwNjk1Mw&fnode=home%2Fspeciald eals%2Fipod%2Frhs
My question to anyone who knows about this is the following:
1) Are these iPods different from the ones out now? Like, do these iPod Touch's still have the built-in speaker and other standard features? Or is this a previous generation iPod Touch? I'm not even aware if there's been other generation iPod Touch's since iPod Touch is still pretty new.
2) Has anyone had experience with buying refurbished items from Apple before? Were you satisfied?
I'm really more interested in figuring out if these refurbs are the same iPod Touch generation out now. I know they've been bought before and fixed up for whatever reason, but for my budget, this would really satisfy my needs. If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I purchased a refurb original iPod touch from Apple. No problems, but it was slightly scratched on the back when it arrived.
The refurb ones appear to be the original ones (look at the size of the unit). They lack the external speaker and volume buttons, and I think they have a slightly different body design. But they can make some noise (i.e., alarms). The screen seems to be the same, and wifi speed is the same.
Hope this helps.

Refurbished iPod touch 3rd gen won't start. Just got it today to replace my broken one. It freezes at the screen with the apple logo, then flashes off and tries to restart again. Help,

I have tried holding the power home button but all that does is turn it off. When I try to start it again it goes into the same loop.

I just got a refurbished iPod 5th generation 32gb. This morning I went to turn it on and it didn't do anything and kept the black screen. I tryed to turn it on but it didn't do anything. Help?

I just got a refurbished iPod 5th generation 32gb. This morning I went to turn it on and it didn't do anything and kept the black screen. I tryed to turn it on but it didn't do anything. The day before it had looked weird, as in I was downloading an app and it powered down, the when I tryed to turn it back on it got red and green lines on it. Should I send my ipod in to Apple so they can fix it or can I do this myself?

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 another cable
- 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. Or send it to Apple

Can I ship my refurbished iPod to a Apple store? PLEASE HELP

i just bought an refurbished ipod touch online, but i shipped it to a freight forwarder to see if he could ship it to my country, the shipment got cancelled, and know i have an order standing online, but no where to ship it to. I have a friend who could pick it up at an apple store(i cant send it to his house). but i dont know how to do that. And if that is not possible can i just get my money back?

Apple does not buy back their equipment.
If you wish you can sell it on your own to someone else.

How to set up "Find My iPod Touch" 3G without MobileMe

Hi, I have an iPod touch 3G and want to set up "Find My iPod Touch" on it, as described here:
http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/find-my-ipodtouch-setup/
I'm running OS 4.3.4 (8K2) and have iTunes 10.4.1. I have an AppleID but not a MobileMe account. I understand that since iCloud is replacing MobileMe, they are not accepting any more subscriptions (not that I'm anxious to pay $99/year for what will now be a free service). I'm not sure I want to create a new account anyway, because all the apps I own are linked to my current Apple ID which is not an email address.
I have a program called "Hidden" for my Macbook which works via wi-fi. If I lose the Macbook, I log into the Hidden website and it triggers the Macbook to broadcast its location via wi-fi (assuming it's within range of a signal). So I would assume that since an iPod touch has wi-fi capabilities, it could do something similar even though it's not directly linked to the internet like an iPhone.
Does anybody know how I can get this going?
My son has an iPad 2 that is wi-fi only and I would like to set up the same for him.
Thanks for any help you can give!

I updated to OS5, and changed my Apple ID to the email account associated with it on this page:

and now Find My iPod Touch is installed! Resolved!

HT201269 iTunes is recognizing my iPod as a new iPod even though I have my old stuff restored to it and it says the name of it but still asks to set up as new iPod or restore from a backup.

iTunes is recoznizing my iPod as a new iPod and only gives me the options of set up as new iPod or to restore from a backup. I put my old backup on it and everytime I plug it in it still recognizes it as a new iPod. I've tried restoring it several times and it doesn't help anything and I've also uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it but it didn't help. Please I really need some help I can't download any music with it doing this.

There maybe better ways to do this, but this worked for me when things stopped working a couple of updates back.
Try this; Make sure your stuff is backed up on your computer first. plug the iPod to your computer and do the restore to factory setting. Then set up as if it's a brand new out of the box iPod. (DON"T use your backup copy) Go through all the steps of first time set up. Once complete, add back all your stuff, music, apps, pictures, etc. from your computer. I know it's a pain, but it worked for me.
By the way; the reason I'm doing this total restore is the RED square in the RED circle. All my music downloaded from CDs became unreadable / unplayable today, (worked fine yesterday-- today crap!!) and none of the fixes listed in this forum would work for me. So I started over, after the restore, the RED circles are gone and my music is playing.
Hope it works, Good Luck!

My Brand New Refurbished Ipod Touch is not working

I just bought a brand new refurbished Ipod touch 32GB (current generation), after a week it shows flickering white screens. I seldom used it for the whole week. When I went to apple service centre they told me that the water leak indicator turns into purple colour supposedly white. I ask them, how this thing can happen, because honestly I was always keep it safe and never been contact to any liquid or soak into water. Then I went to another service centre to get second thought – same feedback was given to me. The warranty was void because of the water leak indicator turns into purple colour.
Anyone can help me to resolve my case? Honestly, I seldom used my Ipod touch, never been contact with water and it was always safely kept. Maybe there is some problem down the factory line, why it was refurbished? What is the history of this iPod touch? Maybe from there, something can help me that can prove that is the original problem of this iPod touch.

i also got a refurb Touch. luckily, mine works as expected.
a refurb enjoys the same warranty as a new one. take yours to an Apple store near you and have it replaced.

Can anyone tell me what a refurbished ipod is?

Something caught my eye, the refurbished ipod costs less. What is it? Is it brand new, I mean intact? And can you personalize that thing? I don't know which is a good idea to buy, a refurbished one or the normal versions...
I am planning to buy the ipod 4/8gb nano, or 30 gb ipod with video playback. Still very confused, don't know which one is the best choice? :S
It would be a great help if someone explains it to me...
Thank you

Refurbished iPods, IMHO, are a good deal: I've bought several in the past, and they've been great. They're cosmetically "as new", and come with the full 1-year warranty, and are eligible for the AppleCare Protection Plan.
Technically (legally), they're not "new", in the sense that they're returns that have been "gone over" to be "like new", hence the considerable discount in price.
All in all, definitely something to consider!

"New or Refurbished" iPod won't sync; error messages

I recently used my warranty on my old 30 gig classic iPod to get a "new or refurbished" iPod because the battery life was terrible. When i got the iPod everything looked like it was working right, until i got to about 1550/6000 songs. I got a message saying there was a file missing and that the sync could not be completed. I went through some trouble shooting, to no avail. I have Itunes version 8.0.2 and Ipod version 1.3. Any help would be appreciated, this is driving me nuts!

Have you assigned a permanent drive letter to your ipod?

I have a refurbished ipod touch 4th Gen. I am having problems backing up because the cloud is almost full. I have tried to delete some apps/pics but it won't let me. Do I need to purchase more storage? Also, I accidentally erased all stored music. It is still on my personal computer and I need to know how to get it back on my ipod. A family member set it up for me.

You said " I accidentally erased all stored music.".
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Your iCloud backup does not include non-iTunes purchases like music from CDs
If on your iPod now:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
You can go to Setting>iCloud>Manage Storage and see what is using the store and delete items from iCloud
