IPod Touch 3rd Generation not Recognized by iTunes but recognized by Windows as "Apple iPod"

Exactly what the title says. My iTunes will not recognize my iPod touch, but my Windows Vista will recognize it with autoplay. I updated iTunes about 10 minutes ago, tried two different apple wires, and 3 different USB ports that work. Can anyone help me fing a solution? I found the iPod Touch assistant thing and tried all of those steps but the problem recurred. Thank you in advance!

I have the same problem. My Iphone 4s works fine when docked to PC. PC won't recognize my 3rd Gen Nano. Same goes for my Work PC. They don't recognize it nor will plugging it in to a PC charge it. I have to plug it into wall socket to charge.
I have tried resetting, I have tried downloading newest Itunes.
Must be the Nano itself if it doesn't get recognized by mutliple PCs?
I haven't used the Nano for probably 2 months. Previously it worked fine...
One thing, when docked to my laptop during a reboot/startup, it intially starts to charge the Nano, but once setup is finished it doesn't recognize it any longer...

  • IPod Touch 3rd generation not recognized in iTunes

    I just recently upgraded my Macbook software to version 10.6.3 because I purchased an iPod shuffle and the newest version of iTunes would not install with my old software. Now my iPod Touch 3rd generation is not being recognized by the newest version of iTunes (10.2). I have already restarted my computer, and shut it down and removed the battery for a minute before starting it up again. None of these things worked. This is the first time I have tried to sync my iPod touch since installing the new software so I am not sure what I need to do.

    It sounds like this may be the fix:

  • Does the ipod touch 3rd generation not support games?

    I recently purchased an ipod touch 3rd generation for my granddaughter.  We loaded music onto it with some difficulty but have been unable to load games.  Am I doing something wrong or does this unit not support games??

    Yes.
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

    Also are yo sure yo have a 3G?
    A 3G goes to iOS 5.1.1 while a 2G only goes to iOS 4.2.1

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar.  Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears.

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod touch 3rd generation not accessing iTunes account through wifi.

    I have a 3rd generation iPod touch with iOS 4.1.  I currently have no computer so I download music directly through wifi.  When I try to download music it asks for my iTunes password, and when I enter it the message pops up asking for the password again.  It does this over and over.  I am using the correct password and even changed my password just to be sure.  The same thing happens when I try to redeem an iTunes card or view my account.  Not sure if it matters but I've been doing this at 2 different Starbucks.  Any ideas?

  • IPod touch 3rd generation not charging

    I got the ipod about 4 years ago and now it doesnt charge any more. If I want to charge it I have to push up or down but I only did that once because I dont want to damage it any more. Also awhile ago There was a little piece that came out of the charging spot in the ipod. Could I just get it repaired or something. If someone could help me that would be great.

  • IPod nano 3rd generation showing up in ITunes but will not synch

    I created new playlists in iTunes about 2 months ago and they synched to my Nano with no problems.  I created a new playlist yesterday, plugged in the Nano via a USB and I can't get iTunes to synch with Nano.  So the current playlists on it do not show up in iTunes and vice versa.  I do have the latest version of iTunes installed

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Reinstalled Itunes for Windows will not recognize ipod touch 3rd generation.

    Itunes for Windows and PC will not recognize my ipod touch 3rd generation.  Also it will not fully charge using a brand new apple brand power adapter and cable.

    After charging the iPod for half an hour, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
