Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components (Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support, etc ...) and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

My iPod touch 4G doesn't receive photos through iMessage, only typed messages. Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Lately my iPod touch 4G has not been receiving photos from my wife through IMessage, when the photo is received I can see it for less than half a second, then it disappears. If I restart my iPod sete it shows up as unknown and a question mark, instead of the actual photo. I have tried reseting my iPod all the setting including network, and have tried turning off the iMessage and back on again. Other than that I don't know what else I can do, so please get back to me as soon as possible I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

HT201263 My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine, but when I went back the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. What should I do?

My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine earlier, but when I went back a few hours later, the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. I thought it just needed to be charged but there seems to be a larger issue now. What should I do?

Let your ipod die. Then when it is dead charge it adn turn it back on. After that it should be fine.

Get a flashlight and make sure there is no obstruction/dirt/debris in the Nano headphone jack. Be sure you plug the headphones all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.

Ipod touch will not turn on and computer does not recognize the device

I tried resetting my ipod touch, but there is still no response. I have had it plugged into the computer for a couple of days. I don't know if it is charging or what because the screen won't turn on and the computer does not recognize the device. I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes, as well as restarting my computer several times. Does anyone know what to do? I would try restoring it, but like I said my computer doesn't recognize it and itunes doesn't either. Thanks!

I just had a similar problem and tried all of the reboot techniques with no success. I knew it had to be a connection issue inside the iPod, and grasping at straws, I sprayed a little WD-40. I dried it off and let it sit overnight. Today at lunch I plugged it in to my wall charger and it began charging.
***FYI I know they don't recommend spraying WD-40 on your iPod, but it was a last resort for me. I was at the point of paying to send it in for repairs or throwing it away. I wouldn't try this unless you are ready to throw yours away too.

My ipod touch brightness just went to zero after charging it. i've tried adjusting it to 100% but it still does not changed. can anybody help me solve this problem? thankS!

Have yu tried the standard fixes:
- Resetting:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPOd via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem

I checked for anything either bent or broken, and as far as I know everything looks fine, though I could probably clean out the dust and dirt collected in there after a year. I could take a picture if that would help. Would being dirty inside there cause this to happen? It's one thing I guess I never thought of and probably should do.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

My ipod nano is being detected by itunes but cannot be identified properly. I have already been through the steps advised on apples website including reinstalling itunes and this has not worked. Can anyone help me resolve this problem?

I am using a HP laptop with windows 8. I have installed the most up to date version of itunes.

Nevermind that first part as I forgot that nothing shows up for the Nano at all in Device Manager,
The 2nd half of my reply still applies:
Otherwise, try uninstalling all USB root controlllers from your system, rebooting your PC, and reconnecting your Nano. This root controller drivers will automatically be re-installed upon reboot.

TS3218 my 6th gen nano plays the same song over and over even though the repeat is off. can anyone help me with this problem?

my 6th generation nano plays the same song over and over even though the repeat is not on.

It sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for instructions on turning it off.

Reasons for Drive Failure
Hard drives are mechanical devices with moving parts, so they are subject to expected wear and tear, and can potentially fail mechanically at any given time. But most manufacturers will label their product with an expected average lifespan (usually provided in total expected number of functioning hours). But if a part is faulty or there are some manufacturing defects, a drive's lifespan can be over in as little as a day. Other factors are primarily external in nature. Power surges can cause drive failure, as can fire or water damage, along with a number of computer viruses. Exposure to high levels of magnetism can disrupt the normal functions of a drive, along with sharp impacts. If dust gets into a drive, it can become the catalyst for an eventual failure.
You could try to boot with this. It will test your HD!

Can you sync an ipod nano 5th gen with more than one computer

Can you sync an Ipod nano 5th generations with more than one computer. One is a Dell with xp operating system and the other is an Mac laptop.

It is possible to sync your iPod with multiple computers, but syncing with different platforms is not supported by Apple. See this article for more details on how to get this set up.
