Ipod touch doesnt get recognized by windows or itunes?

okay so just recently i would plug in my ipod touch and the little noise windows makes to say that something has been plugged in rings except itunes wont recognize it or windows will make it seem like its not even there like its plugged in but a ghost HELP PLEASE!

This may not be your problem but I though it might be worth mentioning. I was having the same problem until I realized I had bought a second usb cable since a family member was always borrowing mine. I spent several days going crazy because my ipod touch was unable to sync with my PC. I finally swapped the new cable for the old and things worked fine.
I discovered that the new cable was only for recharging the battery and not syncing!!! It was only upon looking at the cable packaging that it said in fine print - for charging only!!!
I have no idea why they don't state that more clearly on the outer packaging.
Good luck!

Ipod Touch is'nt recognized in Windows or Itunes

Hello, my Problem is that my Ipod Touch isn't Recognized in Windows or Itunes on my PC, on a Friends PC it works fine, so u guess the Ipod is ok..
1. I tried everything Restarted Apple Mobile Device Service and reinstalled
2. Reinstalled Itunes
3. Reinstalled Windows
4. Other USB Ports
5. Recovery Mode (In Recovery Mode the Ipod is recognized but can't Restore because bevore it Restores completly it gets automaticly disconnected and does'nt connect again)
I Restored my Ipod at the PC from my Friend, but it still doesn't work here.
The USB Ports also can't be the Problem, since all other USB Devices work fine. And the Ipod Touch worked fine as well till a few Days ago.
Every Help is appreciated.

Hi,
What's the make and model of the PC? Is it a desktop or laptop PC?
Make sure the iPod touch is directly connected to a high-speed USB2 port on the PC. The tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286 will help rule out USB connection issues.
What security software is running on the PC?
If you haven't already, try to reconfigure, update, or uninstall the security software, as suggested here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125.
Also, this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1852 provides general tips that will resolve most issues that prevent the iPhone from being recognized by iTunes.

My Ipod does'nt get recognized by windows or Itunes.

When i plug my Ipod in with my USB-device, it makes the sound that it normally does when the Ipod is plugged in, but it is not recognized on windows nor Itunes. I have tried to Uninstall and re-install.
Please help!!

What does "USB device" mean?
through a hub is not a supported configuration.
through another USB devcie, like USB hard drive or something would also be treated as a USB hub.
And to troubleshoot, rule out and simplify, and connect direct to USB ports coming from the motherboard, depends on just what style type computer you have, notebook, tower, other.
I tend to find a good starting point are the product support page

IPod Touch 1g not recognized in Windows and iTunes

Hi all
i have a old iPod Touch 1g at home. the problem is that the device is death. I can hold Home and Pwr button for a long time but nothing happens.
Even when i connect it to a Pc running XP, Windows 7 or a Mac the screen stays black and no error from windows that drivers are being installed or the "USB-sound".
I looked already in the FAQ and on Google but all the solutions don't work for me.
In short words, i have a death iPod and i have no clue how to fix that or even if its possible to fix it.
Can someone give se some alternative solutions?
Regards
Max

would there be the possibility to send the ipod to apple that they can reinstall the software?
i would take it to the nearest Apple store, especially if it would still be under warranty.
how much would that cost?
if it were still under warranty, they might replace it on the spot at the Apple store.
if you connect your "new" iPod to iTunes, you will be given the option to "restore" your latest backup from the old to the new device.

Your Touch is working correctly. Currently, without unsupported third party hacks, the Touch has NO disc mode. It will only show up in iTunes.
how do i put programes and games in my ipod touch
Right now, you don't. The SDK is scheduled to be released in Feburary. Then developers will be able to write programs that will be loadable.

Ipod touch not being recognized by computer or itunes on PC but is on laptop

1st Generation iPod Touch No Longer Recognized by Windows 7 PC

I have a 1st generation iPod Touch (no camera) that can no longer connect to my Windows 7 pc. Plugging in the iPod via USB does not trigger any sort of dialog box in Windows and it doesn't trigger a message saying a device has been connected; the iPod does not show up in either iTunes, Computer, Device Manager or Devices and Printers, either as an Apple mobile device or an unrecognized device, and does not charge when connected to USB (though the wall-charger still works). As far as my computer is concerned this iPod does not exist. I had successfully synced this iPod as recently as one week ago and am ready to pitch the thing in the garbage if I can't find a solution.
I have the latest version of iTunes as well as the most up-to-date Windows updates. I have already followed all the steps listed here (iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows) multiple times with no success.
I also have tried following the instructions listed here (Re: For those Windows users who suddenly cannot see their device in iTunes. Here's a solution that has worked.) but this also hasn't worked since the iPod isn't recognized in the Device Manager and I am not given the option of updating the drivers, manually or otherwise.
I have uninstalled/re-installed iTunes and all related Apple services multiple times. The Apple Mobile Device Service is functioning normally. iTunes diagnostics indicate that there is no device connected no matter what I do. I have reinstalled my Windows USB drivers and changed the settings on the USB Root Hub in the Windows Device Manager to disable power saving options.
I have tried connecting the device to another PC which detects and syncs another apple device (iPhone 5) with no issues, and had the exact same result: the computer doesn't even recognize an iPod is connected.
I can't update the Apple Mobile Device Drivers because the device is not recognized by my machine in any way.
I even completely reset my iPod and that just left me with a unactivated iPod that still isn't detected.
I am really unbelievably fed-up with the useless "try checking your USB cable"-style advice that people seem to offer on this forum. If anybody has dealt with this issue and has any serious advice other than "re-install iTunes," it would be much appreciated.

You said "I am really unbelievably fed-up with the useless "try checking your USB cable"-style"
- Did you try another cable?
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
Try on another computer
