Does it charge?
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.
- Try another cable
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

My Ipod Touch is not recognised in itunes or my computer but still charges when connected via USB Please help

Did plugging it into another USB port do any good? Make sure it is a USB port on the back of your PC and not via a USB hub or one on the front as they sometimes do not output enough power for the iPod to properly communicate with your PC.
Do you have another 30 pin dock connector cable around you use to try and rule out a faulty cable?
Did you try a hard reset of the device with it still connected to your PC? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
With the article above were you able to verify that the Apple Mobile Device Service was installing and running on your system?
Lastly, try plugging it into a different PC to see if it is recognized there. It can help narrow down whether it is an issue with the iPod or with your PC.

It doesn't quite work that way. Transfer your music from the old computer to the new one. Then, sync the iPod.

Sounds like this problem:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

HT4528 I have an iPhone 5c. When I woke up this morning to take it off the charger, the iTunes icon was in the center of my screen with an arrow and a white plug illustration. I have rebooted and it is still stuck. Any suggestions?

You could try restoring and staying away from that backup. I've had that happen to me before on my iPhone 4 from a corrupt backup. You could be coincidently mixing the two issues, sounds to me like you got lucky and your phone is A-OK but you may be using a corrupt backup.

My iPod touch is not recognised by the computer or iTunes

I have recently whiped my laptop and did a clean install of Windows 7. Now the iPod and the computer both beep when I connectn it to the computer BUT it does not appear as a drive i the computer, it is not recognised in iTunes and it does not show to be that it is charging.
I have uninstalled iTunes and all the associsted softwar (in the order designated) and reinstalled iTunes, powered down and restarted both deviceses, and stopped and restarted the Apple Mibile Device software. I even tried to "restore" the iPod and did the whipe on it (bad choise) now it displays the cord and plug and is asking to be connected to iTunes. but the laptop and iPod are not talking past the initial beeps.
Not sure where to go from here.

IPod Touch 3G not recognised by iTunes after update

I recently updated iTunes to 11.1.4.62, but now, my (admittedly, rather old) 3G iPod Touch, isn't recognised by it at all. It charges fine through the computer, and is recognised by the computer, it's only iTunes that won't see it - I'm worried that because my iPod's so outdated, it's being left behind by iTunes. My iPod's software is 5.1.1, and I'm running Windows 8 - any ideas on how I can resolve this?

Perhaps something here will help:

My iPod touch will not shut down automatically which causes my battery to drain within hours? HELP

Have you went to Settings>General>Auto-Lock and specified a shot time?

My iPod touch will not come on just a black screen

my ipod touch will not turn on,

Make sure the device is plugged in to the charger for at least 10 minutes before trying to power on. If that doesnt work try a hard reset on the device, hold in the home button and the power button until the Apple shows on the screen.
Thanks

My ipod touch is not recognised by windows 8 or itunes

Help!!! My ipod touch has now stopped working on Windows 8 and in itunes. It does not even recognise it when I connect it. My Nano shuffle still works fine!!

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, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
The iPod touch use additional drivers than the Nano.
