I am a new ipod touch user; have gone through all the dowload/install stuff, plugged the device into my computer but ipod screen still shows plug in to tunes. I am totally computer useless - how can I get my ipod to work, please? Charles Jones.
You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right? If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

How can I get my ipod to work with itunes?
When I connect my ipod classic into my new computer it seems that itunes does not recognize it. How can I get my ipod to work with itunes? I'm afraid to disconnect my ipod because the display is saying Do Not Disconnect.
1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

How can I get my iPod to work with its updater?
Hey all, I have a 4G iPod, and it isn't recognized by iTunes. I connect it to its dock, and open the updater. The updater freezes and won't work UNLESS I leave it alone, after a few minutes the updater recognizes an iPod, but not any information about it (like the serial number or software version). Knowing this, I have sucessfully restored my iPod, only to find that the same problem is still there. The iPod shows up in "My Computer", but I can't get into it. Also of interest, whenever I connect the iPod, AutoPlay immediately starts, and asks me what I want windows to do every time I connect the device, but it doesn't show me a list of options...perhaps AutoPlay is messing the iPod-iTunes connection up? Can anyone help? Tried tons of thing on the site already.
Thanks

Otherwise you need a working dock connector and computer wither iTuned and internet connection
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Can't get my iPod to work with iTunes
I have an iPod Touch 2 generation, and had to recently restore it, after it had done that I turned it on after it had been reset and it has the picture saying connect to iTunes, when I click to go onto it in iTunes it keeps saying Accessing iTunes store at the top, but does that for ages. Then I get the message after about 2 or 3 minutes saying Network session has times out. I've tried the obvious; rebooting, changing leads and ports and my network connection is fine. But still no luck
Any tops would be greatly appreciated!

Can't get my IPOD to work like I expect
I've just bought an IPOD being an MP3 player user before. The IPOD is not working how I expect.
If I create a Playlist in ITUNES, from my MP3 library. I must download my whole 'My Music' library to the IPOD first.
This cannot be right all I want is a Playlist'
Basically do I have to 'Sync' my whole library onto my IPOD'?
I'm sorry if you think this is a stupid question but I cannot create Playlist's without downloading my whole library.
Someone please put me right!*Basically do I have to 'Sync' my whole library onto my IPOD'?*
No you can choose to the option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" instead of all songs and playlist or you can "Manually Manage songs and videos" and drag and drop what you want to the iPod:
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Managing content manually on iPod
*cannot create Playlist's without downloading my whole library.*
You can create the playlist or playlists you want then use a keyboard shortcut to prevent the iPod syncing, once you are connected you can then change the setting to selected playlists and select the ones you want to sync. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
When the iPod is connected click on it's icon to bring up the preference tabs, go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist(s) you just made from the selection and click Apply. -
How can i get my ipod to work properly?
My ipod is not charging at all when connected to the adapter or to my mac. when i connect to the charger either the battery sign comes up with the connect to power symbol. or the apple sign keeps flashing on and off. it doesnt charge. I already tried to reset it but it doesnt let me. I need help?
I'm assuming from what you have said that your iPod is in recovery mode. This is the logo that says connect to iTunes. Hold the home and sleep button down for 10 seconds and the device will be in recovery mode.
Try plugging the iPod into a different computer with iTunes installed and you might be able to restore your iPod. If this doesn't work take it to an Apple store and they will be able to help you. -
I can't get my ipod to work at all
I bought my husband a nano yesterday and when we try to plug it into the computer all it does is say do not disconnect and the ipod does not show up on itunes and if we just unplug it goes straight into factory settings We already have a ipod 60g so I don't know why this one won't work with the program i already have. Please somebody help!!
hi Cheryl!
while the ipod is plugged in, check to see if it's showing up in "My computer".
if it is showing up there, see:
iPod for Windows: Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
but if it isn't showing up there, see:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes on Windows

Can I get my front camera working? On my iPod touch 5th generation 16gb? As I've reset it all and it still isn't working.
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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

HT5470 I can't get the radio to work on my Ipod Nano 7.
I can't get the radio to work on Ipod nano 7. When I go to the radio screen the following happens 1) the radio screen appears in the backgound with a small rotating icon at its center for few seconds, 2) the screen go blank and small apple icon appears at the center of the blank screen for few seconds, and 3) the home screen reappears. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the reply. It turns out my ipod nano was defective. For some reason it rebooted every time the radio button was pressed. I tried a software restore and that failed. Since the unit was just a few days old I was able to exchange it at the retailer. The FM radio on the new unit works great.
