IPod touch apps don't appear in iTunes app

My iTunes account used to purchase apps (I always do this on the iPod itself) does not show my apps when I am in iTunes on my computer (using same acct; I double-checked). I have nine pages of apps on the iPod, so I do not want to have to download them again to my computer from the apps store as suggested by people who updated to newer version and lost their apps. Any suggestions? When I connect my iPod to my computer, does the sync apps only work in one direction--computer to iPod? I am afraid to sync for fear of losing all my apps. Thank you for any help you can give me. bjfritz

Any applications downloaded directly to iPod touch are automatically backed up to your iTunes library when you sync.
If you don't trust the automatic system, open iTunes, press and hold Command+Option while connecting your iPod touch to your computer until you see iPod touch appear in the iTunes sidebar. This will prevent automatic syncing. Then use the iTunes File menu -> Transfer Purchases from XXX's iPod Touch.

New iPod Touch 3G does not appear in iTunes Devices

My iPod touch 3G is out of warranty but brand new / never used until today. I connected it with sync USB cable and opened iTunes but "Devices" did not appear on the iTunes menu so I cannot even register the iPod in order to download music. I know the cable and iTunes [latest version] on my computer are OK because when i plugged in my friends iPod everything was OK -'Devices' appears in iTunes.

Welcome to the discussions,
make sure it is charged and try to connect in recovery mode, shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

My iPod touch will not connect to the itunes app!

Hi, my ipod touch(4th generation) will not connect to the itunes app, app store, or the internet. It is connected to my wifi and shows full bars with connectivity. However when I click on the itunes app it takes to a blank white screen and says it is loading. It stays on that screen for about 5 minutes and then a little blue box pops up and says unable to connect to itunes store. I don't understand this because I also have an Ipad 2 connected to the same wifi and that has no problem connecting to the itunes store or internet. So I don't understand why my iPad can get on itunes while my iPod can't, when they are on the same wifi connection. Can anyone please help me!!!

First try using Spotlight Search to find Settings. If that works go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Settings. If you can't get to Settings:
Try a reset:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't work do a restore from backup or to factory settings:

Help! My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. A message keeps coming up saying "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes store. Please enter another Apple ID" I changed my ID to see if that would work but the same message still comes up.

Where are you physically located?
What country's Store are you using?
The two have to be the same and the payment method for your account also has to be associated (billing address, where iTunes gift card was purchased) with that country.
Has the ID(s) worked before for purchases for this country's store?

HELP!!

You should be able to upgrade it to iPhone OS 3.1.3, if it's a 1st gen iPod touch. This Apple article explains how to upgrade.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
You'll need to use the second method, where is says Update your device using iTunes.
Once you have iPhone OS 3.1.3 running on the iPod touch, you should be able to access the App Store and download apps. Some apps will not run, if later versions of "iOS" (such as iOS 4 and 5) are required. The App Store (on the iPod touch) will prevent you from downloading incompatible apps.
It may be easier to download apps using the iTunes Store on your computer, then sync the apps to your iPod touch, because you have a larger screen to view the app's description.

What iOS do you have on the iPod?
Did it every connect to your computer with that iOS?
The latest iOD for the 2G is 4.2.1 and that required a Mac with 10.5.8 or later.
Have you tried:
- another USB port and cable
- iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
