Ipod touch doesn't mount

I updated my ipod last week and itunes as well.  Now itunes doesn't recognize my ipod when mounting.  I have mac os 10.6.8 and itunes 10.5 and whatever the latest ipod touch (3generation) os is.  I have re-started both ipod and mac and sometimes the ipod shows that it is charging, but never mounts in tunes.
help?
Thanks,
Nic

Everytime I turn around, someone is advising someone to "reload software". "Reinstall software". "Reformat and reload". Shame on you people! There's many other things you can try before resorting to that.
Nic: have you tried Repairing Permissions with Disk Utility? You could also restart you Mac from the install DVD and run Disk Utility from there to "Repair Disk".
I had a similar problem to what you stated above and it turned out to be a bad USB cable. Any chance you have a spare you can try or know a friend that has one you can borrow to at least test this?

  • Ipod touch doesn't recognized by itunes password

    My ipod touch doesn't recognized my itunes password, so I am not able to purchase anything from the ipod touch, but I am able to do it through my computer.

    Try going to Settings>Store and sign out and then sign back in.
    This is assuming that your problem is that when you try to make a purchase the PW you enter at the prompt is said to be incorrect.

  • 2nd Gen iPod Touch Doesn't Charge at all

    2nd Gen iPod Touch Doesn't Charge at all, not on pc or mac or wall or anywhere. I need the information on it, last time it was backed up was 2 years ago,cracked glass and bad headphone jack. can Apple help me get my info out of it? it is out of warranty, can i pay to have it fully recovered as if it never died?

    Try connecting it for a charging source for 24 hours.
    Then try:
    - 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.
    - Then see if iTunes can see the iPod so you can get info from it
    - Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store. They may or may not be able to get info from the iPod. It depends upon what is wrong

  • Since upgrading IOS 8 my Ipod Touch doesn't charge.

    Since the upgrade to IOS 8 my ipod touch doesn't charge directly with the charger. It's not the cable or the charger. The cable works fine when I connect the ipod touch to my computer and start itunes, if I turn iphoto it still doesn't charge. And the plug works with the former ipods.
    Any suggestions?
    My ipod touch is 5th generation and I bought it 2 months ago. Even on the day of upgrade(before), it was charging with the charger.

  • What does the iphone have that the ipod touch doesn't?

    i was just wondering what the iphone has that the ipod touch doesn't if there is anything. (Apart from the obvious phone and maybe the camera)

    The ipod touch has most of the same functions as the iphone with the exception of the phone, the camera, and the gps (and any features that require those functions). My wife uses one as an ipod, a very nice device, especially if you are normally in range of a wifi network.

  • Ipod touch doesn't appear under devices.  message - file not found.

    My ipod touch doesn't appear under devices when I plug it into the computer.  My mac tried to sync with the ipod touch and then gave me the message "ipod touch could not be synced.  File not found."  This just suddenly started.  What file? and what happened to it? help, please.

    PROBLEM SOLVED - I did not know that in itunes under "devices" there is a "hide" and "show" if you mouse over the area to the right of the word "devices".  My ipod touch was somehow hidden.  I still do not know why I got the "file not found" message.
