I'm trying to connect ipod touch to the computer

I'm trying to connect my daughters ipod touch to the computer it makes all the beeping noises and is charging but isn't found on iTunes so I can't add anything to it or sync it. It was last synced in January this year. My other daughters iPod touch connects fine.
What has happened and how can I connect it???????

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or              
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • When i connect my ipod touch to the computer and it brings up itunes, and it starts syncing, it just stays on the last step(6) and I can't download anything else to my ipod.

    I connected my ipod touch to the computer.  When it brings up itunes and start to sync, it stalls at the last step (6).  This keeps me from being able to add other songs from my library to my ipod.  I'm very new at this and maybe just don't understand how it works.

  • I tried updating my iPod touch to the newest update. But my iPod was unable to complete the update now it doesn't even turn on completely. The apple logo appears but then the screen goes blank. What should I do?

    I tried updating my iPod touch to the newest update. But my iPod was unable to complete the update. Now my iPod doesn't turn on completely. The apple logo appears but then the screen goes blank. I've tried charging it, letting it discharge, I've tried things I found on the internet but nothing seems to be working. What can I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 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.

  • Connecting Ipod Touch to the internet

    Hi,
    I've been trying to connect my ipod touch to the internet. It picks up my router and connects but won't let me access the internet?

    Is there something else I can try?

    This is the official apple fix for this problem over the phone!
    1. unplug router and other device if you have it for 4 minutes, Not 1 minute not 10 seconds. 4 MINUTES. Then plug back in .
    2. Settings, general , reset, reset network settings.
    3. Will reboot on its own.
    4. It will work , I have done everything there is to get this back on and it was as simple as unplugging it for 4 minutes unlike 1 minute and then doing the reset. When it works make sure to spread some info around about this fix like I have on this forum and youtube videos. Help people out. Thanks

  • Trying to move iPod touch to new computer.  iTunes library from old computer already on external hard drive.  Don't want to lose playlists, apps, etc.  Help?

    I am trying to move iPod touch to a new computer.  My iTunes library was already on a 1 TB external hard drive.  I downloaded iTunes on my new computer, plugged in my external hard drive with my iTunes library, and changed my iTunes media folder location (preferences-advanced) to my external hard drive location. But now all my songs are "checked" (all were not before) and none of my old playlists are present.  When I plug in my iPod touch to the new computer, it asks if I want to erase and sync.  I do not want to lose my playlists, apps, etc.  How do I move over to my new cpmputer without erasing my iPod and losing stuff?

    Forgot to add, my iPod touch is backed up on iCloud

  • Connecting iPod touch to the Internet via a Mac with a wired Internet connection

    I have a Mac Mini which is connected to the Internet using a wired Ethernet connection. I've just bought an iPod touch, but the iPod can't connect to the Internet using the wi-fi network I've created on the Mac Mini, although it knows that the network exists. Any ideas?

    What happens when you try to connect to the network? Error message?

  • My computer broke and I lost my ipod touch at the same time. Then I put all of my new music on my nano. Then I found my ipod touch. How do I get the music from the ipod touch to the computer and also keep the music I bought for the nano?

    I have an ipod touch and an ipod nano. I also used to have a laptop but, it quit working and I no longer have it. I had all of my music on my laptop. So, I had to buy a new desktop. I lost my ipod touch at around the same time. I had all of my music on the ipod touch that was from my laptop. So in thye meantime I started using my nano more. I bought new songs on my desktop for my nano. Then I found my ipod touch. I would like to be able to keep both the somgs I have now on my ipod touch and the ones that I already bought on the desktop. What do I do?

    No.
    All iTunes content on your iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer, and your iTunes library on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only.
    When music was purchased on a CD, if the CD was lost and you returned to the store where the CD was purchased with your receipt, were you given a replacement CD?
    The same applies here.

  • System crash when trying to connect IPod touch (blue screen)

    Hello all!
    All of a sudden, my computer running on Windows XP doesn't recognize my iPod touch anymore. Changing the USB-Port and re-installing iTunes did not help. The actualization of the driver resulted in the system to recognize the iPod for a couple of seconds, but then the system crashed and a blue screen appeared, which made it necessary to restart the system. I had the same thing four times today now and have absoultely no idea what else I could do. Can anyone help?
    Thank you in advance!

    I too just had my itouch completely crash. I was attempting to sync and a pop up asked about updating my itouch. I agreed. Only to get the frozen apple screen with the download bar. Now I can't even reset my itouch or get my computer to recognize my itouch. PLEASE HELP!!

  • Trying to connect ipod touch to iTunes software icon just spinning

    Recently I had to rebuild my music list in iTunes on my PC, during this time I performed upgrades to the iTunes app and my devices which seemed to go ok.  Today I plug in my iPod to delete the music that currently on the iPod and replace it with the rebuilt library and nothing happens other than the gray circle continually spins next to where it says Operator's iPod.  At first I thought it my be the amount of information that's being synched between iTunes and the iPod but I walked away for about 3 hours and it was still just sitting there.  When I click on Operator's iPad nothing happens.  Rebooting the PC, the iPod, starting from scratch has yielded the same results.  Any suggestions?

    This has been resolved by re-installing the iTunes software.  What a PITA!  Every time Apple updates it's software or OS I hold my breath, cross my fingers and squint my eyes.  Will it work this time?  What a crock.

  • Can I connect iPod touch 4 to computer without iTunes or software?

    I need to back up a couple videos that are nearly 6 mins and over 6 mins. My own comp needs to be fixed, in the meantime I've tried looking into an online storage solution, but none will let me upload the videos. I was wondering if I could connect my iPod touch 4g to any computer, like I would a digital camera or my Kindle, and be able to access the camera roll for backup purposes, without iTunes or any special software being installed. If not, any suggestions on a website that will allow me to upload the videos (not You Tube) from mobile safari?

    Thanks for the link, it enabled me to view the camera roll and copy over some things.
    But now I have another problem, the computer I was using froze up and the program was ended. Then the computer was detecting the iPod but said there was no pictures??!!
    But on my iPod itself, I have the camera roll opened and am able to play the videos and view pics. I'm now afraid to close the photos app because my vids and pics will be gone! I don't know what to do and am feeling sick to my stomach because the vids that I really wanted were not copied over yet, as that's when the computer froze.
    Do you know if that means they're gone from my iPod with no way to get them (as I haven't been able to do a proper backup since my laptop needs fixed)??

  • When I plug my iPod Touch into the computer in iTunes it says: iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000065)

    I have a refurbished iPod Touch and it has been working fine with my computer except for sometimes there's a little delay in iTunes picking it up when I plug it in to my computer and now when I tried to plug it in to my computer it has the message that I posted in the title.

  • Old Computer broke, trying to sync ipod touch to new computer

    The old laptop I had my new IPod Touch synced to died, so I bought a new Laptop, but ITunes won't allow me to sync to it. It only gives me the option to "Eject", and won't allow me to put any of the new music I have downloaded for my new laptop.
    How to I take away a sync for a old laptop (which does not work) to allow it to sync to a new computer.

    Where is your back up?
    This is precisely why it is basic to maintain a back up?
    The ipod touch is NOT a back up.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.

    You can do a forum search as this is asked and answered quite often.
