And then it will stay plugged into itunes and i can sync music and stuff but it won't charge? i don't know what to do and this is total bs seeing as i use my ipod touch for everything. please help!

IPod Touch 3G won't connect to USB cable

When the power is on, and the cable is plugged in, nothing happens. I connected to a computer to try to restore it and my computer didn't find the ipod. The wall charger usb thing didn't work either. I've tried two different cables and neither of them worked. I found out that if I shut the power off while its still plugged in, it will receive a charge, although nothing is on the screen to indicate that, I found that it was fully charged when I powered back up a couple of hours later. There isn't an Apple store in my state and the closest one is 9 and a half hours away. I bought the ipod at a pawn shop so I don't have a warranty anyway.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Additional note: The day this happened, the music app sort of froze. Right after I selected a song and the song title, artist name, and album title area wasn't completely on screen. I couldn't tap the back button or the album button in the top right corner. The weird thing was that the play/pause and skip buttons still worked. I had to fully power off and restart to fix that.
Another additional note: The connecting of the cable is the only problem.

Try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restoring
Next try DFU mode and then restoring

Tried to update to newest version. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes and is stuck on a connection with itunes screen

I tried to update to newest version via pc. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase so it says, but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes anymore and is stuck on a screen displaying an itunes icon with a usb icon.

oke i'm not done with the whole thing, but i'm doing that right now. Most of the advice I've already read didn't work and at a certain point it said something about shutting down programs then restart. but i notice that there are some pretty important system things in that list and i don't want to mess up my pc :s i'm not a pc genius... and because i'm dutch and my pc-language is in dutch I often have trouble translating and well... i don't always understand the technical stuff in all the articles -_-

My Ipod Touch 2G won't connect to My Computer & Itunes but will show that it's charging.

I've had my Ipod Touch 2G for quite a few years and it's always worked fine up until now. About a week or so ago, I wanted to add a song to my Ipod. So I downloaded the song to my ITunes then connected my Ipod in. Only my Ipod didn't show up. It would normally appear in my Itunes and in My Computer but it's not. The screen on my Ipod shows that it's charging, that's it. I've tried practically everything. I uninstalled Itunes then reinstalled it. I restarted my Ipod countless times. I've gone through the steps on iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows but nothing has worked. I know it can't be the USB port because my flashdrive connects into it just fine. It might be my USB cord, but I'm not sure. I plan to buy a new one asap but can anyone else help me? I plan to get an IPhone 5 very soon and hopefully a new laptop but my music on my Ipod isn't in my Itunes library. Do you see my problem? Please help me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

- Try another cable as yu siad
- 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.

How to disable an ipod touch that won't connect to itunes or the computer

I recently got an ipod touch that was reset before being given to me. It wouldn't connect to iTunes or the computer but would still charge in the USB port. I updated iTunes and tried doing a soft reset holding down home and sleep. Then I realized on the screen that says "connect to iTunes", on the top right it would say "iPod" and in the middle it would show a little lock symbol. I was told this ment it was disabled and that's why it wouldn't work. But how would I restore it or reset it if I cannot get passed the connect to itunes screen and it wont connect to the computer. PLEASE HELP

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Ipod touch 4g won't connect to computer and itunes

if i connect my ipod touch to my computer, my computer doesn't say i connect my ipod. it doesn't sync.
please help

Are you using the same USB cable that came with the ipod? Try to use another USB cable in case you didn't do that before. Did you check the docking port for any kond of debris or lint?
If this does not help, you'll have to get it serviced: Apple - Support - Service Answer Center

IPod Touch 4G Won't Connect to Internet but No Problem with Nintendo DSi...

My sons new iPod Touch 4G 32GB won't recognize any networks. We have manually entered the name of our network and entered the password but to no avail.
I was able to get my daughter's new Nintendo DSi online within minutes but the iPod just won't work.
We have updated the firmware on our router, rebooted our router, reset the iPod, read the iPod manual, we've tried EVERYTHING.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your assistance!!

- Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
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.
- Power off and then back on yur router

My 8gb Ipod Touch 4g won't connect to my home wifi

I've selected the right network, typed in the right password and it won't connect.
And it's the strongest signal out of all the networks, the network itself is very strong.
This message comes up 'Unable to join network ...'
I know my ipod touch will connect to other wifi networks as I accidently connected to my neighbour's wifi, so I know it works. Obviously I want to use my own wifi network.
Any ideas of how to get it to work?

I am having the same problem as BexziJayne and so I followed the same instructions. But it still is doing the same thing.
My IPod will connect easily and quickly to any other WIFi but when I am at home, even though I've typed in the correct password, it basically remains in 'thinking' or 'connecting' mode. Basically, in Settings --> beside WI-Fi, it shows my network name, but if I click on it, you can see in the next screen that it is still thinking about connecting. My IPod even shows 3 blue bars in the upper left hand corner, which indicates that it is connected.
Is there anything else I should be doing?
Thanks

Ipod Touch now won't connect to my Mac

I'm puzzled by this.....I recently bought an Ipod Touch and connected it to my Mac via USB cable, no problems. Have regularly connected and disconnected (properly ejected) and synchronised with itunes - again no problems. I have since unplugged the USB cable and now plugged it back in and there is no connection. It doesn't show it is charging, nor will it appear in itunes. What is puzzling is that I have tried 3 different USB ports (which all work okay with other devices) and it still doesn't work. Suspecting the cable is at fault I've just tried it on another computer and it works! Trouble is it is my Mac I want to connect to as that has all my music & photos on.
Now just to add, I was about to post this message when I had an idea and plugged the headphones in and hey presto it now works! Does this all suggest there is something amiss with the actual ipod?

I am having this exact same problem connecting my iTouch to my G4. The only way I could get it to work was to restart the mac, then unplug and replug in the USB cable then it seems to work. While it get's the job done this is not viable work around since it is a major inconvenience to restart my computer every time.
Has a solution developed since this was posted in April?
Any help would be great.

IPod touch 4 won't connect to wifi anymore

Ok, I am having some problems re-connecting to my wifi at home. I have done all the updates for my ipod touch 4th gen, and I've tried almost everything. I have turned wifi off & on, forgotten the network, reset network settings and STILL nothing is working. When I look at the info on the network I'm trying to connect to, the IP address and some other numbers don't match the info on my phone(which does connect to wifi). The numbers start with 169... Instead of 192..(my home wifi IP). It won't let me change the info either. Please help me out! My games work but I can't get on the internet or the apple stores. And all the other devices in the house connect except my iPod!

The 169... address means that the iPod could not obtain an IP address from the router
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPod touch (1G) won't connect to iTunes Windows 7

iPod touch firmware is 3.1.3. iTunes is version 10.3.1.55. Windows 7 is Professional version, 64-bit.
I've found a number of web posts about this issue dating back to 2009, but none of those solve my issue or exactly describe it. I can put my iPod touch into Device Recovery Mode, connect to iTunes, and restore the iPod, but once that is done, I cannot connect the device to iTunes (Windows 7 64-bit mode). However, I can connect the iPod to my Vista laptop, and I can connect the iPod to my Windows 7 machine if I run iTunes in the XP Mode virtual machine (32 bit). I've gone through the steps looking for a conflicting USB service, and if there is one, it's part of Windows 7. This started after I updated iTunes recently, but I'm not sure that had anything to do with it since I had not connected it in a while, and the first thing I did was update iTunes. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. -john

I've got the same problem for a long time
did you find the answer ?
thanks

Ipod touch 4G won't connect to iTunes after most recent update

I have recently update itunes and when I plug my 4G iPod touch into my computer nothing happens. It won't connect or sync. I have restarted, re authorized, rebooted my ipod and nothing. It was working just fine before the update half an hour ago. What can I do to get it to sync/connect again WITHOUT having to do something that requires erasing my ipod or itunes. I am very tired of having to do that because of Apple's updates.

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Run this to help if it identifies the cause
