IPod touch isn't detected by computer, won't even charge.
I'm on windows 7, and when I try to plug in my iPod touch it won't come up in Computer or in iTunes. I've reinstalled iTunes, reset the iPod, checked the USB port. What's curious is that it won't even charge. I plugged the iPod into my laptop and it came up fine. It just won't connect to my desktop, any suggestions?
I've had this problem too.
What I do is use alt+Tab to switch windows.
?whenever you plug in an ios device with a camera,
Windows 7 will pop up a message IN THE BACKGROUND
saying, .what do yiu wNt to do?
Inport photos, open to view files, and close,
Click close.
.and that always solves the problem for me,
Yiu see, what's happening is that windows is literally holding the uos devie back from fully connecting
it so it will be able to chsrge since it thinks you always wanna do something with the photos.
Anyway hope this hekos.

My ipod touch isn't syncing to my computer it says error 13019 and also my internet is connected but the ipod dosen't open any page I got to on safari.
You can try a reset.
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
- Otherwise yo will have to update via iTunes on a computer. Other uses have had to do that.
- fyou update on other than your syncing computer/iTunes library following these instructions. When you restore the iPod it will also be updated. -

The cord works, theusb port works, and when I plug my ipod into the wall charger it works, but when I plug it into the computer, nothing, not even charging. P.S. it worked before I updated it to iOS 6.1.5
You do have iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer, right?

TS1538 My iPod Touch isn't recognized in itunes.
My ipod touch isn't recognised in iTunes on the computer I always use to sync music onto it. (I can't see "Omar's iPod" in the left column.)
When I plug it in and I open up iTunes, the device isn't shown.
However, the device is shown in My Computer.
When I plug it into other computers, iTunes recognises my device. (I can see "Omar's iPod" in the left column.)
I've tried every method, except for Recovery Mode because I don't want to lose any of the files on my iPod.
I've done every method in the Apple trouble shooting manuals.
I need iTunes to recognise my device, help please.
