I can plug my ipod touch into my computer and it isnt recognized by my computer or itunes. Any help?

My computer nor my Itunes doesn't recognize my Ipod touch when I plug it in. I have already tried restarting my Ipod and uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes but it hasn't worked. Help please???!?!?!?

Try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Try another cable
Does it charge?
Next try another computer to help determine if you have an iPod/cable problem or a computer problem

  • I plugged my ipod touch into my laptop and started to down load an (1) upgrade.  But Itunes says that the upgrade will take two hours.  I started the down load and it started and stoped and eventualy never complerted the down load.  How can I fix this ?

    I plugged my Ipod touch into my Dell laptop and went to Itunes.  Itunes told me I should down load an upgrade, so I did.  Itunes said the down load would take two hours.  I started the down load, but after two + hours (&longer) , after several starts and stops the down load never completed. 
    I recently got a (fake anti virus) virus and it damaged my computer.  I got it fixed and reinstalled the software and it appears to be working correctly. Could this be the part of the problem ?
    Would it help if I reloaded the Itunes (off an external HD) or downloaded it again from Itunes ?
    Thanks

    I doubt it.  For my updates, it has typically taken me many tries/retries.  Like for you, the download would stop.  and I would have to restart from the beginning.  If you get a network timed out error try disabling the security software on your computer.

  • My computer that has iTunes on it crashed and I plugged my iPod Touch into it after it had crashed. Now it says it needs to be connected to iTunes.

    After my computer with iTunes on crashed I plugged my iPod Touch into the computer. It then said that it needs to be connected to iTunes but i can't connect it as the computer deleted iTunes and doesn't work. Please help.

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

  • When I plug my IPOD touch into my dell computer all it shows are my picture.  I am afraid if I update the software on the IPOD it will erase all my music.

    When I plug my IPOD touch into my Dell computer it comes up with Judy's IPOD, the click on where it says internal storeage then a folder comes up that says DCIM then click on that and another folder comes up 800AAAAA and when you click on that all you see if pictures.  I am afraid to update the software on the IPOD I am afraid it will erase all my songs.  Does anyone have any idea what the problem or can I update the software without fear of losing all my songs.

    You have to follow these instructions. When they say restore from backup your iPod will also be updated.

  • "Itunes can not connect to this Ipod. An unknown error occurred." I get this message when I plug my Ipod touch into my Imac. I have restored the Ipod and have the latest Itunes. I have tried different cables and a macbook.

    I have an Ipod touch 8GB, an Imac and an apple laptop. I have had this Ipod for years and it has been synced at different times to my Imac and laptop. Recently the battery ran way down on my Ipod. I plugged it into my Imac. After it charge I had to restore it. After I restored it Itunes couldn't connect to it because, "An unknown error occurred". I tried to connect it to Itunes on my laptop and got the same error message. I have tried different USB cables. Since Itunes won't connect, I can't do another restore. I don't know what do try from here.
    Some additional info that might be related to this. Just before this Ipod problem came up I crashed my hard disk on the Imac. I had to erase it and reload all my stuff (I was able to copy the contents to a hard drive connected to my laptop using the firewire - I couldn't use time machine because of the crashed HD.) My Imac has been restored to the latest Itunes - I am running OSX 10.6.8.

    Thanks for the help Ricky.
    I did put my iPod into DFU and iTunes recognized it in restore mode. After restore I am back where I was before - iTunes cannot connect because of an unknown error.
    I have installed Jailbreak to see if I can bypass itunes but haven't succeeded. I can't get my computer to recopgnize the iPod as a device.
    I'll take it to a Genius bar next time I am in the area of one. Until then I'll probably continue to try hacks to get it connected.

  • I can not change albums when I plug my Ipod touch into my car.

    When i plug my Ipod touch 3rd gen into my 2010 Scion XD the screen goes white with an icon saying that is plugged in as an accessory. The problem with this is that when an album ends there is no way to flip to a new artist/album or anything without unhooking the ipod. So once you plug the ipod into the car it will only play the album that you already were playing with no option to change it. Is there a setting that i can change so the music touch screen will stay active when plugged into my car so i can flip through my library?
    Thanks

    This can happen if Restrictions are enabled on your iPod Touch and Installing Apps is turned OFF. You'll also find the App Store icon is missing.
    Check Settings > General > Restrictions and either disable restrictions or turn "Installing Apps" ON.

  • Okay, so every time I plug my iPod Touch into my laptop it always imports my videos

    Okay, so every time I plug my iPod Touch (4G) into my laptop it always imports my videos & photos. I don't want my videos and photos saved onto others files on my laptop so how do I stop this from automatically happening when I plug in my iPod?
    Thanks! Laura,

    There should be a pane in your photo program that can control what your iPhone does when plugged in.
