I'm having trouble connecting my iPod to my computer

when I plug my iPod on my computer, it says scan and check
so I press scan and check then it says that my iPod was fixed
but after that, i try to sync my ipod, itunes says that it failed
so i tried restoring it. it is still doing the same thing
so now, my iPod is empty with nothing in it,
that i cant sync it on itunes
does anybody know how to fix this??

okay, now all the songs are synced on my ipod
but when I open 'My Computer', there should be an icon for my ipod,
am i not right?
cuz before this happened to my ipod, there used to be an icon.
today, i tried to check the properties of my ipod, so i opened
'my computer' and there was no icon for it.
then i realized that when i tried to scan and check, it said that
windows can not access the disk.
does anyone know how to restore my ipod icon on 'my computer'?
any help would be appreciated.

Having trouble connecting my ipod to iTunes and mac

Today my ipod decided to stop working altogether and not play anything. Literally, I was listening to a song and the next song never played. Couldn't figure out why, so I came on here and tried the 5 R's.
I want to restore my ipod (because obviously nothing else I did, worked), but I can't even connect it to my MacBook Pro, let alone, see it in itunes. I just want to see of restoring it might actually fix it before I do anything involving the apple store.
There's all sorts of threads about having troubles connecting ipods to PC's, but nothing I could find about connecting them to Macs.
I know for sure the USB wire is fine. I downloaded the new version of itunes and blah blah blah...it's definitely all the ipod, but I can't seem to come up with any other solution than to go to an apple store.
I only bought this within the last year and just recently started using it on a regular basis.
If anyone would like to shed some light on what might've happened, please let me know! I'd be so grateful! Thanks!

Try putting the iPod into Disk Mode

If that works, connect it to the Mac. See if it is now recognized by the Mac and iTunes. If it is, use Restore to erase the iPod and initialize its software.

However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Hi, My daughters just got an ipod touch today and I'm having trouble connecting it to my Wi-Fi network!??

Hi,
My daughters just got an ipod touch today and I'm having trouble connecting it to my Wi-Fi network. It identifies my wireless connection but then says 'unable to join the network' with the word 'Dismiss' underneath. Any ideas on what I can do? Thanks!!

Hi
Thanks for your reply. I've tried resetting a few times. There is no 'tick' next to the name of my wireless connection so it won't connect at all. I think I may have to do something with my router as there is an arrow button to press next to my wireless name, this takes me to a screen which asks for IP address, then has options for DHCP BootP and Static, it asks for Client ID DNS etc - all gobbledegook to me!! Perhaps my router is blocking the Ipod?
Thanks anyway!

Those converters like the AsanteTalk are notorious for not re-acquiring Printers that drop out for any reason.
Get everything else powered up, then cycle off the AsanteTalk, count slowly to 10, then power the AsanteTalk on last.

What TC do you have? Model number direct from the base is a big help, it will be A1 followed by 3 numbers.. eg
A1409 Gen 4.. The new AC is A1470
How is it setup?
I need the whole network setup. what modem/router, how is the TC connected etc??
I also need to know what IP the ipod gets, so I can see what mode the TC or network router is working in.

Having trouble connecting iPod Touch with iTunes 8.2

I have a first generation iPod Touch 16GB, before the recent 8.2 iTunes update (or it may have been 8.0, I tend to ignore those annoying 'please update now messages')my iTunes worked properly, and the Touch would sync whenever I connected it.
Now when I connect the iPod to my computer it no longer shows up in iTunes, the computer (running Windows Vista Basic) recognizes the iPod is there, and the iPod charges properly. iTunes itself however is oblivious.
I've tried completely reinstalling iTunes like the support page suggests, but the problem persists, it is getting quite annoying now since I cannot get the new 3.0 OS update or put new music on.
Can anybody help?

I have the same problem, but mine won't even take a charge from the computer, or my docks. I have to plug it into a wall wart usb charger and then it works fine. Can't get my computer to recognize/sync it since the "upgrade" to 8.2. The only responses worth a crap on this topic say to just be patient because it is now a known bug they are working on. IMO I wish Apple would stop acting like MS and stop releasing stuff that hasn't been properly beta tested. This glitch has occurred for thousands of users, and any basic cross platform testing process should have revealed this problem in the first 5 minutes. Yet ANOTHER embarrassing POS from the "new" Apple.

Did you already try to reset the router?
Did you reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
Did you reset the network settings on your iPod in Settings/General/Reset?

- Did it successfully connect to the network before?
- Do other devices successfully connect to the network now?
- Does you iPod successfully connect to other networks?
- Have you reset your iPod?
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.
- Reset network connections: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Powered off and then back on your router
- The troubleshooting here:
iPhone and iPod touch: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
-When you restored you iPod did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod? If not try that.
- If you look at the network properties on the iPod what IP address is assigned when you think you are connected but actually have no internet connection. If it starts with 169 then the iPod never connected to the router, the 169 address are self assigned.

HELP PLEASE! I am having trouble charging my iPod Mini 4GB

I am having trouble charging my iPod Mini 4GB. I used it for approx 30 minutes until it died, and it will not charge. I have tried charging it through the USB port and also the wall charger - but nothing comes on the screen to say it is in the process of charging and it will not switch on. The trouble shooting section of the manual says there should be a thunder flash icon?? Any ideas please?
Could it be the internal battery at fault? Shall I buy a new one from Maplin?

my iPod mini is doing the same thing. i'll charge it all night through a wall charger (all connections seem to be ok, the charging icon appears on the screen). but i'll take it off and turn it on for not even 5 minutes and it wil turn off! i charged it for about a week once and i took it off the charger for again, 5 minutes, and the thing turned off on me. i've sent my iPod in for service before because it was frozen, but this battery issue hasn't happened to me until recently.
if i send my iPod in for a replacement, what kind will i get back? one of my friends said that if i sent it back in, i would get a 2GB nano. thats not enough!! how do i get more?
