- Try another cable if you are using a different cable than what works with the other devices
- Try DFU mode and then restore

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    ive tried wall chargers, idocks (both plural) and plugged it into my computer. it will not charge, and my computer wont reconize it. (its a mac that has worked with my ipod since ive gotten it). It is not the cable , because my sisters ipod (4gen touch) syncs just fine with it. please help! my ipod is my life ! I NEED my music. :'''''''(

    If your sister's 4G iPod conect fin to the same computer then tyr the following:
    - Reset the iPod.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Place the iPod in recovery mode and try to restore via iTunes. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • I have a 5th generation ipod classic, it wont connect to my computer without freezing itunes, and wondering if there is a way to manually update software

    When i connect my ipod to the computer it freezes not only itunes but google chrome as well. I dont know that it is recognized as an ipod. I think it only recognizes it as a mass storage device and because of this i can not update the software to 1.3 and also have the ability to restore it. Im wondering if it is possible to do a manually software update without itunes or restore/reformat.

    I'm not sure if my case is 100% related but it may help. I had this happen to me after I installed a new hard drive on my computer. The iPod would show up as an external disc drive but not on iTunes. What happened was, while reformating the diskdrive  the system resorted the hard drives to be the B and C drives. This then made the iPod the A drive and itunes didn't recognize it.  I went in and changed it to another letter (K or L or something) and iTunes picked it up and synched it automatically.
    Hope that's of some help.    

  • Ipod 1st Gen Not Connecting to the computer and not being recognized

    Hi my friend is having some issues with her ipod first generation it is not being recognized by the computer when she plugs it in and when she opens itunes it does not show up. the only thing she can do is charge her ipod from the computer, if anyone can help that would be great thanks!!

    Could be any number of reasons.  One of them just may be your refusal to update iTunes.  Just because others are having issues does not mean you'll have them!

  • I just replaced my iPod a week ago, and it was working fine, but when I went to go turn the screen on, it wouldn't turn on. Ive tried to put it on the charger and it wouldn't charge and it wont connect to my computer, how do i fix this?

    I just replaced my iPod 5th gen. a week ago, and it was working fine, but when I went to go turn the screen on, it wouldn't turn on. I've tried to put it on the charger and it wouldn't charge and it wont connect to my computer, how do i fix this? I tried to reset the iPod, by pressing the home and power button but nothing works. It's literally a brand new iPod, I dont know what to do now. Help?

    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.

  • My iPod classic wont connect to the computer. The light comes on but it doesn't even come up with 'connected' screen. Have tried everything on apple troubleshoot but hasn't helped. Still works in Logitech iPod player. Any suggestions please???

    My iPod classic wont connect to the computer. The light comes on but it doesn't even come up with 'connected' screen on the ipod. Have tried different computers, usb cables and ports, as well as restarting computer, updating itunes, and rebooting ipod. Still works in Logitech iPod player, however it has just wiped itself of all songs so at the moment I'm stuck with a useless iPod. Any suggestions please???

    If you happen to have a USB docking cable that is new (or close to being new), try using that one.  If the cause is the dock connector on the iPod becoming worn, if you try it with a cable that is not worn, it's possible that it may connect for data.
    I believe the dock connector is internally part of the logic board, so it may not be economical to have a repair shop (including Apple Store Genius Bar) do the repair.  You'll need to ask for pricing. 
    If you are good at such things, this web site has DIY repair guides

    If it's the most recent iPod classic, it appears to be quite difficult to pry open.  I have an older 4th gen (and 3rd gen) "classic" iPod, and those are fairly eash to pry open, using the plastic tools.

  • My iPod dispalys this message: "Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore."  When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it.  The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?

    "Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore."  When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it.  The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?
    I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore).  Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data. 
    I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data. 
    Thanks in advance!

    Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC?  Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
    To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?

  • My ipod wont connect to the computer but will connect to an ipod stereo

    I have a 2nd generation nano that I have had for 2 years, but not used very much. It has always worked fine and still does however it wont connect to the computer at all. I have tried different ipod usb cables and different computers. It will charge and play on an ipod stereo. I would like to be able to hook it up to the computer so I can put more music on it. Has anyone had this problem before?

    Update to the newest version of iTunes if that doesn't work
    Try uninstalling the drivers,
    Plug in your iPod
    Right click on My Computer and click on Manage
    that will bring you to the Computer Management
    On the left hand side click on device manager
    on the right side click on the plus sign next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    it will show a list, in that list locate iPod or USB mass storage device
    right click and select uninstall
    Unplug your iPod and plug it back in
    Windows should automatically start installing them again
    if nothing pops up then right click on Universal Serial Bus Controllers
    and choose scan for hardware changes

  • What do i do if i forget my passcode to my ipod touch and it wont connect to the computer

    whatdo i do if i forget my passcode for my ipod touch and it wont connect to the computer?

    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.                         
    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: How to back up
    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 iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
