Ipod Touch 3rd Gen isn't recognized by ITunes.

So I bought my 3g today and everything was working lovely. Later though, I open up ITunes. ITunes decided that It wanted to act like this was the first time it had ever been used. So it shows me the 'welcome to ITunes' setup window. I go through through that ordeal but then I notice my ipod isn't showing up in the sidebar. So I go through troubleshooting and the 5 R's thing to no avail. So i reinstall ITunes expecting a fix. Since I'm posting here you could guess I still have the problem.
Things I Know:
My Ipod is charging, it has the green battery symbol.
Anytime it's plugged in it shows the 'scanner and camera wizard instantly, even though there are no pictures to copy over.
I tried plugging in my sister's 1st gen touch and got the same results.
Any help would be appreciated guys, I'd prefer not to have to return this thing.

  • Ipod touch 3rd gen. is not recognized

    My ipod touch 3rd generation is not recognized on my computer or on the itunes website.  I have tried everything listed on this websie and still nothing.  The usb cable I am using I got from ebay because I bought the ipod at Unclaimed Baggage store and did not come with usb cable.  Does anyone have any idea what to do, the only other thing that I can think to do is purchase new usb cable from apple.com because ipod is working great; just won't sync to computer.

    I'm not sure what you meant by, "on the iTunes website".
    Have you read this: http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/

  • My iPod touch (3rd gen) isn't putting out sound other than static and high pitched noises through the tv hookup, the built in speakers, and headphones. Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how to fix it?

    Everything on my iPod touch (3rd gen) works just fine except the audio out put.

    Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue. Contact Apple or a third-party service center.

  • My iPod touch(3rd Gen) Isn't working

    My iPod stopped working:(
    Whenever I charge it, the lower back part gets really hot so I have to unplug it because it might explode.
    I went to my local mall, and they had a repairing place there so I had it checked. They said there was something wrong with the batteries.
    I brung it to an authorized Mac store, and the jerk in the Service area said it was disposable. Like I should just throw it away.(I don't spit money, so of course I didn't.)
    I really don't know what to do. I just really want to know if there's still hope for my iPod. D:
    Is there?
    Please help me.

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes on yur computer
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • My  iPod touch 5th gen is not recognized by iTunes

    I am trying to put music on my friends iPod, however the iTunes is not recognizing the device black screen. When i first plugged the iPod into iTines it was there I restore it when that was done the iPod went blank. after about two hours of trying to figuire out what was wrong. I rebooted it came back on. The minute I plugged into iTunes the thing went black screen again. I tried to reboot to no avail...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 touch 3rd gen freezes when using the itunes app looking for podcasts

    When looking at podcasts with my Ipod touch's itunes app, when i attempt to download podcasts from the nerdist podcast, the itunes app freezes and shuts me out for a minute or two. This only happens on some podcasts but not all.

    Okay so, with some patience and some tinkering... It appears to be a problem with the most popular podcasts.  Maybe something to do with so many people downloading it at the same time?  Anyway, I've found you just have to wait it out.  Keep your itouch active and from going to sleep and eventually it will load the podcasts and you will be able to download them.  On average it takes me anywhere from 2 to 8 minutes to get my most popular podcasts, I just keep it on the screen and keep it from going to sleep

  • IPod touch 3rd Gen. will not show up iTunes or My Computer

    I have reinstalled iTunes, I have tried recovory mode, I have the latest model, I've tried using other USB ports, I've done just about anything I can. I have had this iPod for like 3 years and have never had an issue. Now all the sudden it will not connect to the computer or show up in itunes. It does charge in a wall charger though. How do i fix this?

    Hi
    I have posted just recently with a similar problem [although I suspect you are using Windows rather than OSX by your reference to device manager].
    In my post I asked if iTunes 10 supports the 2nd gen nano as I am starting to suspect that it doesn't. Have you recently upgraded to 10?

  • Ipod touch 3rd gen won't sync with itunes..i know i have to replace the battery as it won't hold a charge.

    It turns on fine, appears to charge but will not hold a charge..It won't sync with my Mac Book Pro, iMac, PC or Netbook.  Do you think it is the battery?

    What happens when you try to sync? Error messages?
    An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store might be useful.

  • My ipod touch 3rd gen will not update to 4.3. It says it is the current version

    when i try to update my ipod touch 3rd gen to 4.3 on itunes it says "your ipod is up to date" and "this is the currnet version".  But when i try to buy certain apps it says "you must have version 4.3 to download this app" what do i do? i have 4.2 and i have even clicked the "check for update" button and waited for the automatic update check but it always says its the current version even though its not! please help me!

    You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, not a third, and those can't be updated past 4.2.1. Apple sold 8GB second generation models at the same time as the third generation ones.

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - 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.

  • IPod touch 3rd gen recognized by computer but not by iTunes

    My iPod touch 3rd gen is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen. It became stuck on the screen while updating to the newest software and is still stuck. It is recognized by my PC as an "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" in recovery mode but is not recognized by iTunes.
    I have tried multiple suggestions by the Apple Support pages related to this issue, and even reinstalled all Apple programs on my PC, but iTunes still fails to recognize the iPod.
    Is there any other ways I could go about solving this issue? It seems I have tried everything so far..

    Next I would try another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

  • I have an iPod Touch 3rd gen and while it is recognized by my laptop with Win 8.1, it won't sync with iTunes.

    I have an iPod Touch 3rd gen and while it is recognized by my laptop with Win 8.1, it won't sync with iTunes.  It worked fine while my laptop had Win 8 but after the update, it quit syncing.  Strange though, I downloaded an app directly to my iPod and when I connected it to my laptop again (for recharging if nothing else), iTunes updated itself by including the new app.  I also tried syncing wirelessly.  Also unsuccessful.  I'm about ready to change to an alternate to iTunes if I can't get this situation fixed.  Anyone else have this problem and/or a solution?

    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    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 Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
