I have and iPod Touch 1st gen that iTunes 10.6.1 can't see.
I just cleared the memory on it and restored factory settings. Now when I connect to iTunes 10.6.1 nothing happens. The iPod tells me to connect to iTunes but iTunes does not see the iPod. I tried turning the ipod off then holding down the home button while connecting the sync cable. A graphic popped up telling me to connect to iTunes but nothing else. I tried this again and waited for over half an hour and still nothing connected. The cable is fine, I know this because I have connected other devices using it. Help please!
I am running osx 10.7.3 on an i7 iMac.
Thanks Illaass, I tried this a couple of times and it didn't help at all. I think is I hadn't done a factory reset it might have worked but right now the ipod is acting like a new device that that itunes doesn't recognize.

i have and ipod touch 4th gen that has the white screen of death but my home button doesnt work. how do i reset it?
Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
I have an iPod touch 4th gen that is in iOS 6.1 it's showing another update in the settings for iOS 6.1.6 but even if I wait for more than 30mins it won't show. Can anyone help me. Thank you and Godbless
- 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.

How retrieve my songs in my ipod touch 5th gen that itunes have deleted. Half of my songs was deleted and i dont know what to do.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other music you will have to get them from where you originally got them -
I have an iPod touch 4th gen that says that it is up to date with iOS 6.1.6. Is it possible to update to further or is it too old? I would like to get it up to iOS7. My games run slow and some of the newer games won't download on this version.
As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists. -
Hi
I have an ipod touch 4th Gen that everything was working perfectly. After the last update of iOs 5, the battery have charge 20 minutes. After the correction of the iOS 5.0.1 the battery have the same 20 minutes. What I can do? ThanksSame thing here. Try putting the brightness down all the way (its hard to see at first but you will get used to it) and one more thing is that close all you open apps. So to do that you have to click the home button twice (after you put your passcode in) and you will see some apps in the bottom. Hold it until there is a red - sign. click all of them so they go away. This does not delete your apps it just makes your ipod better.

Hey Babetta94,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
After reviewing your post, the iPod is not recognized in iTunes. A frustrating situation to be sure. You haven't mentioned what OS the computer you are using uses. You can choose what article to use either OS X or Windows from this quoted section.

If you have an iPod touch:

For Mac OS X: See iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Have a nice day,

IPod Touch 1st gen to iTunes connecting speed
I'm an iPod Touch 1st gen newbie on iOS 3.1.3; My question is when connecting the iPod to iTunes 10.1.1 how long does it normally take for the device to show up? When connecting an iTouch that's OFF (connection turns it on), I find it probably takes 5-8 minutes for the device to show up. I'm left sitting there not sure if I need to do something. Should the device be ON? When using my iPod Nano (2nd gen) it shows up on iTunes very fast and I see the device on the Desktop. iTouch doesn't show up on the Desktop as a connected device even though Finder options is checked on so iPods are recognized. Otherwise, all is well and great with the device. Thanks.
iPod touches and iPhones are not recognized as disk drives and therefore will not appear on the Desktop. I would say that 5-8 minutes to be recognized by iTunes is not normal, however.
You might want to focus your efforts on your Mac. I would check/repair permissions on the HD, remove all earlier instances of iTunes, make sure you are running the latest version of OS X that you can (I think 10.5.8 is the latest you can use). You might have to uninstall iTunes and download/reinstall. The correct way to do that is in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224 -
hi i have an ipod touch that was given to me that was disabled and it belongs to a kristien but she no longer lives here and my apple id doesnt work for this ipod and i wasnt to reset the ipod to factory settings so it can be my ipod and i dont know how to go about that
You can restore from backup since the screen-lock passcode is not restored.
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -

My ipod does not charge anymore. I have plugged it into an outlet and computer. I have bought a new charger /p>
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.

I have an IPod touch 3rd gen that won't see any wifi connections.
The wifi doesn't work at all. I tried everything besides restoring it to fix the problem and the back where the antenna is has been pushed in. It just loads like it's looking for wifi, but it doesn't find anything. Any ideas how to fix it? :/
Likely that the wifi antenna got damaged or disconected. The iPod has to be fixed.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. May not be wirh it for a 3G.
