IPod not showing up when plugged in computer

Hi everyone,
I connected my 2nd gen iPod touch into my brand new laptop the other day, but nothing happened. I hear the default do-di windows sound to notice me it has detected a new device, but that's it. My iPod isn't charging, and I can't see my iDevice in iTunes.
I have contacted HP support, but their solution didn't work. I have the lastest version of iTunes installed on my computer. I am an advanced user, so I tried everything I could think about to fix this.
I would really appreciate to get it fixed before I get the new iPod touch 4g ^^
Thank you,
Bobiolik

Reset your iPod.
Retry with a different USB or FireWire port.
Restart your computer and make sure you have the latest software updates installed.
Remove iTunes software and then reinstall iTunes software from latest versions on the web.
Restore your iPod. See “Updating and Restoring iPod Software” in the user's guide.
If this doesn't work, you can check more about it here

Ipod not showing up on itunes or computer

My ipod is not showing up on my itunes or one my computer. When I plug it in, it comes us as "do not disconnect" on the ipod, but nothing happens on itunes, or on my computer. How do I get it to come up?

See if any of these articles help.
Windows XP cannot detect an iPod.
USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date.

Changes made to iPod on device revert when plugged into computer/iTunes

Guys when I make playlist changes to my white iPod touch out in the world they revert when I come home and plug it into iTunes. Had this prollem once in the past and it seemed to fix itself with an updates. But when I click updates now it says I don't need any.

An iPod (except for iPod touch) is not directly related (in a technical way) to an Apple ID. You can use a shuffle even if you don't have an Apple ID. And there is no way for Apple to "link" to a shuffle (like it can with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch). So, I don't think the two things are related.
The Apple ID may have become disabled if someone tried to log in unsuccessfully (gave wrong password) more than a certain consecutive number of times. You'll need to contact Apple customer support, using the Contact Us link at the bottom right corner of this web page. First, try logging in with the Apple ID, to confirm it is really disabled. There are some sophisticated scams out there these days, that try to trick you into revealing your username and password with fake emails. Actually, if you are posting here after logging in with that Apple ID, it is not disabled.
For the shuffle, which model is it? This document shows the four types
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
If the light on the shuffle does not come on when connected, there is no power getting to the shuffle (which explains what you describe). The possible causes are (1) the USB port not working or not supplying sufficient power, (2) a faulty USB docking cable, or (3) a problem on the shuffle (such as a bad headphones jack or logic board).
If you can rule out (1) and (2) with some troubleshooting, the cause is more likely to be (3). If you use a USB hub, be sure to try it with a direct USB port on the computer, and test that port with something else (preferably something similar like a USB flash drive or port-powered external drive). If you have another USB docking cable, or if you can try the cable you have with another 4th (or 3rd) gen shuffle, that wound be a good test.

Itouch screen in black...its charged...and is not showing up when plugged in Itunes???

My iTouch is not responding...I have plugged it in to recharge it, pressed on/off switch and home button simultaneously, and nothing. When I plug it in to the computer it does not show on ITunes that it is plugged in either.

See if placing the iPod inrecovery mode willallow iTunes to see the iPod. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Then try DFU mode.

Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Iphone 4s data will not work + does not show up when plugged into macbook.

I need to try to reset my iphone because it is not allowing me to use data on the phone even though my carrier had verified all the settings are correct and that I have unlimited data on my plan. Every time I try to access the internet on the phone without wifi connected I get an error message saying "could not activate cellular data network" or "you are not subscribed to a cellular data network."
However, when I plug my iphone 4s into my macbook pro it is recognized and shown in itunes, however I cannot download photos (iphoto shows an error message saying "no camera found") and the phone does not show up on my desktop or finder. I find alot of people have a problem with the iphone not showing up AT ALL, but mine works in itunes, just nowhere else on my computer.
I have tried to use icloud to back it up, but when I log onto icloud with my macbook to see what data is there and try to access my photos, only my contacts and a few other apps I dont need show up. No photos at all.

If there's an Apple store nearby make an appointment with the genius bar to have it checked. Be sure to sync it and back it up, as well as import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts separately (such as by sync them with iCloud) in case it needs to be replaced.

HELP! iPad not showing up when plugged in

Hi, I am getting really frustrated because my iPad first gen does not show up at all when plugged into my windows 8 laptop. There is no icon in the bottom right corner, no sound, nothing in my computer or iTunes. I've updated my iTunes and restarted everything, switched USB ports and cords... but the laptop is just not recognizing it. The laptop is new(I haven't synced the iPad to it before), but I have authorized it and there were no problems with my iPhone. I really need to connect my iPad to iTunes to update it, as the system is old and many apps are no longer supported. If anyone could help me I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

Ipod only shows charging when hooked to computer

When connecting to my computer via firewire port itunes does not recognize my ipod. I have ran latest updater software, reset settings on ipod. When i hook up ipod all it shows is the charging screen

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Bruce.
Are you using an Apple tested firewire card? Cheap firewire cards (including most onboard firewire) use the VIA chipset which does not work with the 'Pod. Best bet, as always, is to use the gold standard of iPod connectivity, the Adaptec 4300.

I'm having the same problem. I'm using a new shuffle usb cable in my 2nd generation shuffle and nothing shows up on computer. I'm wondering if the dock for the second gen is different than the new usb cable direct into the 2nd gen shuffle. I don't have a dock for it. Before I buy one on ebay I hope someone can assist.

I'm at my wits end with this phone and I'm ready to just trash it.

Nonsense, and very misleading advice. I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4 through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones. Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either. Hack your phone and have update problems? I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
As per the forum term of service you can't get help here. Use google.
that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.
