Welcome to the discussions,
You'll have to connect the device to iTunes, that's what is means. If the ipod is not recognized after connecting, try to connect in recovery mode, shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

My Iphone 4 goes off after tried to instul ios 7.0. I 'm onlu seeing the sing of iTune and USB plug right on the phon's screen. I really need help because I all i got

My Iphone 4 shuted down after tried to instul ios 7.0. I 'm only seeing the sing of iTune and USB plug right on the phon's screen
I really need help because that's only phone i got.

Just back from Genius Bar and two other people at my table had the same problem. Their 4Ss aren't charging either. One of them had a fried board according to the tech. At least my HW checked out OK. It just won't charge.
The tech tried to tell me that it was because my connector was corroded, which I told him was kind of a weak argument since evidence points to that the update has something to do with it.
They're seeing a lot of these and it looks like they already have a script.
Luckily I had enough juice left to recycle it for like $180, so I picked up a 5S with a new 2 year.
It looked to me like this is going to blow up pretty big. Like class action lawsuit big.
If you have an iPhone 4 or 4S, and you haven't updated it to iOS 7, don't for now. See if a patch comes out that doesn't brick your phone. Or get an induction charger maybe? Don't just update and expect absolutely no problems because too many people are having problems right now.

Connect to iTunes and restore it. If necessary, manually place the iPod in recovery using the instructions in this Apple support document.

Ipod isnt recognized by itunes software when plugged in! Wont sync library

recently purchased an HP Pavilion laptop--loaded my ipod software onto it--i already had done the same with my desktop 3 years ago and everything worked fine. Software loaded fine-no probs, but when I brought ipod up--i can access library but not songs on ipod(greyed out). From my desktop I backed up my song list and was able to successfully put it in laptop--but it still wont let me access my ipod when its plugged in, it wont sync any new music from library, or that I imported!(new music that I import goes into library though) The only thing that was weird after i put the software onto my laptop--it wasn't my library that came up--so i deleted the 10 songs that were on there and then downloaded my music into it which worked fine--but I can't read anything on my ipod--steps I've taken so far are to 1-install latest version of itunes, restart ipod, authorize use of computer (which said now 2 of 5 computers were authorized)...any suggestions????pretty please

Yes, the list on my computer of what is in my iPod library is grey, not black font. I tried "manual" but it will not allow me to drag anything to the iPod. Not even newly purchased music.
That certainly sounds like one of the Automatic syncing options has been engaged.
... quickly doublechecking, just in case. After selecting "Manually manage ..." in the device tab for the iPod in iTunes, did you click "Apply"?

When i plug in my ipod to itunes it shows an advertsment that wont go away

i plug in my ipod touch into the computer and when i click on MY IPOD it show an advertisment for an iphone application. when i click NOT NOW the advertisement wont go away. it stays on itunes not allowing me to sync or do anything on itunes with it. this is not a problem on my ipad 2 but just the ipod touch 3rd gen. please help.
P.S. no i cannot restore it because i wl loose all of my songs since they are not in my itunes library yet.

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 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.
