HT1414 when i plug my ipod in nothing pops up?

When i plug my ipod in nothing pops up is there another way to restore your ipod on itunes or is there a way to fix this issue and have an icon pop up?

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 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.

    You know when you plug an iPod in and that little window pops up and it let you import your photos? That won't pop up for my iPod touch 4th generation. I am plugging it in to the USB port on my computer and I want to import my photos and that little window does not pop up.

    Did you try this:

  • When I plug my ipod in, nothing is in my itunes library?!

    When I plug my ipod in, nothing is in my itunes library. I have been having some computer problems, but now there is nothing in my library. When I try to add a cd to my ipod it just goes straight to my library. My library is empty...HELP!!!

    Glad I helped a little... With the computer issues your having I'm out of my depth. Is you library backed up in the cloud or on an other hard drive? At least then you could try a few things, but you're right, you may loose everything! Good Luck. Have you talked with a computer god about your issues? Sorry-- I can't help you more.

  • My ipod touch 4 won't sync or register on my computer. The cord works, the usb port works, and when I plug my ipod into the wall to charge it work, but when i plug it to the computer nothing, not even charging. P.S. worked before I updated it.

    The cord works, theusb port works, and when I plug my ipod into the wall charger it works, but when I plug it into the computer, nothing, not even charging. P.S. it worked before I updated it to iOS  6.1.5

    You do have iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer, right?
    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    or

  • When I plug my ipod into my mac it does nothing. any ideas?

    when I plug my ipod into my mac it does nothing. any ideas?

    Try a different USB port on your computer. If your using a PC, the port on a keyboard is not strong enough; plug it into a USB port on the computer tower. 
    Be sure to wait awhile; mine sometimes takes a couple minutes to connect.
    Another tip would be to open i-tunes before plugging ipod in.
    If it still doesn't work, try resetting your ipod by turning the hold button on and off, then pressing and holding the center and menu buttons until the Apple logo shows up. When ipod returns to main screen, plug it into the computer again.
    If nothing works, you may have a bad connection cord.

  • When I plug my iPod in to my computer iTunes crashes!

    HELP!!! I've owned this iPod Mini for three months and now when I plug my iPod Mini in to my Mac labtop computer iTunes crashes and there isn't any more music on my iPod!!! What can I do????????

    in time, your ipod will die permenantly. i know, its not a good thing to hear but yes, its surprising that you got it to work at all after it being through the washer. it was very smart to let the water dry out. i know people who panic and turn it on immidiatly to see if it still works. they wonder why it turns on, then off and never back on. but, sadly the water got into your hard drive. there is nothing you can do about it. dont try to open your hard drive though because they are made and assembled in dust free rooms. and i dont care how often you vaccuum, there is still dust in the air. where these things are assembled, the air is actually sucked out of the room so it is literally dust free. opening your hard drive will just make it worse, and may actually never work again if you do so. i have been repairing ipods for a year now, so if i were you, take my word for it.

  • My computer doesnt respond when i plug my ipod in

    When i plug my Ipod into my pc nothing happens. I am unable to open ANY programs whatsoever. I am not using a high speed usb port this may be why but i am unsure. If anyone has any suggestions for me it would be greatly appreciated. When i unplug the Ipod then the programs i tried opening do open.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, flyboy212!
    Sounds like a serious problem...usually when your computer freezes when you plug in your iPod, your antivirus is being a jerk. Disable your antivirus before you plug in your iPod.
    Try using a high-speed USB hub as well. If you have USB 2.0 ports in the back (MAKE SURE they are 2.0) then plug your iPod in the back of the tower. That may be the case, it may not. Try these things, then repost.

  • Blue Screen when I plug my Ipod Touch 8GB(Late 2009)

    My problem is when I plug my Ipod touch 8gb to my laptop(Acer Aspire 5632wlmi,intel core 2 duo processor T5200-1,60 GHz-533MHz L2 cache,1GBDDR 2,Up to 384MB NVIDIAGeForce GO7300 TurboCache,System: Microsoft XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3,all required updates are done),the windows system detects problem and windows shuts down to prevent damage to my computer,this error message appears in blue screen with the technical information of :
    *Stop : 0x00000007E(0x0000005,0X00000000,0xF78FD7C8,0XF78FD4C4) .
    When the system goes down,I have to shut pc down from the power button and when I switch my laptop on I receive an error stating that "system has recovered from a serious error " which has signature of:
    BCCode : 1000007E BCP1:C000005 BCP2:00000000 BCP3:78FD7C8 BCP4:F78FD4C4 OSVer: 512600 Product:256_1
    And error report content is:

    C:\DOCUME~1FATIHF~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERffa3.dir00\sysdata.xml
    What I have done regarding to try to solve the problem ,but not worked at all:
    1-I have uninstalled Itunes ultimate version(iTunes 9.0.3 for Windows XP,Vista or Windows 7) and other Apple related components on my Laptop(apple application support,Apple mobile device support,Apple Software Support,Quicktime etc.)
    2- a-I re-installed all components mentioned on step 1 and plugged my Ipod: It works when I plug for first time,then I sync with my audio,art-work folders.Then I unplug my Ipod to listen music and see my Art-work,when I plug my Ipod for 2nd time to my Laptop,it crashes and that same blue screen error occurs.
    b- I uninstalled all Apple components and plugged my Ipod to my Laptop,it charges the battery but no blue screen occurs.
    3- I reset my Ipod and meanwhile uninstall all Apple components again(exactly like in 1st step) in my laptop,then I re-install all components to my laptop, and follow the same steps as exactly in 2nd step.I plug my Ipod and it works for first time,than I do sync through Itunes again,than I unplug and use my Ipod,when I plug for 2nd time than the same blue screen error appears and laptop crashes.
    4- a- I reset my Ipod and Meanwhile uninstalled all Apple components,I re-installed iTunes 8.2.1 for Windows XP,Vista or Windows 7) but the same blue screen occurs.
    b- I uninstall iTunes and plugged my Ipod to my laptop,no blue screen occurs.
    5- I asked my colleague who has MacBook and plug my Ipod to her MacBook, than open Itunes,but Itunes(iTunes 9.0.3 for Mac OS x) can not see my Ipod as device and I am not able to do anything.
    6- I've searched in Apple official websites and Google and many Blogger sites,Fan sites and all other possible technical sites but could not find any solution.
    7- I've contacted(phone call) to the Local(Portugal) Support Apple Support Centre and explained all history of the problem clearly.But they could not help me,they advised the same possible solutions which I've already done and they said that they can not do more.And than they gave me a support mail address to contact.([email protected])
    8- I've sent an email to [email protected], 2 days later they've answered me with the information that they are phone based support therefore they not provide me support.
    Basically I am not able to import or export anything to/from my ipod,anyway all windows is going down.
    It is first time I buy Apple product.My friends who have Apple products were generally positive about them,and I was thinking to by a MacBook as well,but after this problem I got doubts and I am not satisfied and happy at all. Since days I am trying to find solutions and find the exact support contacts to get helped with this problem.But could not reach any information. Now I don't have any positive Idea about Apple products or support service.I went to the Techno-Market which I bought the Ipod to change with an Iphone or at least try to have my money back if not possible to swap it with Iphone,but they've told me that it has been more than 15 days and they can not swap it or refund it,even if it was possible they would not refund it because the very sensitive backside of Ipod has some small but visible scratches.
    Anyway I can see the difficulty of having Apple product,having support of product and finding the right contacts to communicate is not easy and I would really be very happy if anyone could change this idea of mine with helping me out to use my Ipod with peace and without any other problem.
    As you can see,I spent a lot of money to buy it and spent days to find solution to my problem and spent a lot of energy to find right Apple Support contacts to help me with my problem.And I am not able to use my product as I wish.
    Please advise me regarding to solve my problem. I hate to deal with courts and other legal ways to take action in those kind of cases. But if not of course it will be my last option to do it so.
    I am waiting an answer,please try to answer me as soon as you have an answer for me.
    Thanks In advance
    Best Regards
    PS:If you provide me an email address which I can send all print screens and full blue screen error message .txt I'll contact you soon after receiving your contact.

  • My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC.  When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.

    My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC.  When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.  The Device Manager lists it as an Unknown Device.  I've tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it, but it had no affect.  The odd thing is that our other iPod (160 GB Classic) is recognized on the same computer using the same USB cable.  When I plug the ipod in question into another PC, the PC seems to recognize the iPod and lists it in Windows Explorer (iTunes is not installed on this machine).  There seems to be something out of wack with this PC/iPod combo.  Any thoughts on what I can do to try to resolve this issue?  I tried all of the steps listed here, but they didn't help me.  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

    that is odd! that should not be happening.
    Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes.
