Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync!

Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes now

i have a friend who has an ipod touch....everything had been going fine for him and then all of a sudden it was not being recognized any more....what caused this? he did say that he had done an update but i'm not sure what version he has....could this possibly be the problem.....does anyone an a fix for this?

I think Apple is having a problem at the moment, my Ipod touch was always fine syncing until the new update! (Even on older itunes version, I could'nt sync since new update came out) It just isnt recognizing the device...
Ive done all that Apple says to do, none of which helps at all, I reckon its thier own side of the problem they need to fix...

IPod touch not being recognized by iTunes on my MacBook, and on 2 other PCs

Hello,
After scouring the web and these discussion forums to no avail, I've decided to post my problem. I downloaded iTunes 8.0 yesterday, and updated the firmware on my iPod Touch to 1.1.5. I tried connecting my iPod, and nothing happened. It is not being recognized by my MacBook. So, I tried using another USB iPod connector, and nothing happened. I tried using a firewire connector, and nothing happened. Frustrated, I tried connecting to my one roommate's HP laptop and see if it would get recognized there - no. I then tried on my other roommate's laptop. The device was recognized to be USB, but iTunes wouldn't go ahead and try and reformat it. I'm starting to lose my mind! I've tried resetting the iPod touch itself loads of times to no success. I've tried restarting while having the iPod connected to the computer, and still nothing.
What should I do now?

Sorry about not getting to you on the quick-fast, but we aren't Apple employees.
What ended up being the solution you needed, as you said, you couldn't find any information already posted on this problem, so documenting your fix may help someone in the future.

IPod Touch not being recognized in iTunes

Hello Apple Discussions, my name is Wong Meng. iPod Details: iPod Touch 4G FW: 4.2.1
I just ran across a problem with my iTouch where it would be recognized in Windows under My Computer, but iTunes would freeze and lag when it loaded when my Touch was connected. I restored my iPod, deleting some 17GB worth of media including apps I had no way of backing up, and now iTunes won't lag when I plug it in, it just takes a while to get things running. Still doesn't recognize my device. I ran diagnostics under Help > Run Diagnostics, and everything was fine except "No iPod, iPhone, or iPad found." I have the newest iTouch firmware (I hope), newest iTunes, etc. Help! Somebody help me, who has had similar experiences. Everything I tried on numerous Apple support pages like this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US have not been helpful.

I had similar problem. Touch 2G was working perfectly until a few weeks ago then when I tried to download newly purchased music, my PC would not recognize my Ipod Touch. I had this problem back in April and it was resolved with updates from Microsoft and Apple. Anyway, after trying everything in desperation I called Apple yesterday and spent 3.5 hours on the phone with a tehnician who wouldn't give up until she resolved the issue, AND SHE DID!!!! We tried a lot of things but what seemed to work and might work with you is to uninstall ALL Apple applications, Bounjour, Mobile Me, ITunes and Quicktime (you don't have to uninstall Safari) and disable any firewalls or security programs you have, restart the computer and then reinstall Itunes again, restart the computer and then try connecting your device to the computer. We also returned the IPod to the factory settings. If that is indeed your problem, you will notice the popup window, that was appearing before the problem began, telling you that the driver needed has been installed. It is a driver problem. I was so impressed with the technician and her determination to solve my problem. I hope this helps.

Why is my iPod Touch not being recognized in iTunes, Device Manager, or my entire computer?

I have had my iPod Touch since christmas and it is now June. The version is 4.1 and it's the one with the camera. My previous cord worked fine and I never had any problems with iTunes or my iPod before. I lost my cord for about a month (actually I have no clue how long) and my dad picked one up for me yesterday. It cam in a BELKIN package with the USB cord that plugs into a wall charger or car charger. So, I needed to upload my music and when I plugged my iPod in, I went to go sync the music, and I noticed the was no "Device" column in iTunes. So, I went into "My Computer" and didn't find it in (E:) where it always used to be. Then I searched the WHOLE computer and I couldn't find it anywhere. Then I searched for help online. Everything kept telling me to go to device manager and reinstall the device and blah blah blah. BUT IT'S NOT EVEN IN THE DEVICE MANAGER!! I couldn't find it anywhere in there! So like, is my iPod completely erased from my computer forever??? I tried restarting my iPod, my computer, and I made sure my iTunes was the lastest version. I also tried 3 different USB ports and none of them worked!      SO NOW WHAT!!?? Should I try a different USB cord?? Please help!!!
          Sincerely,
   Desparate Girl Who Loves Her iPod Dearly                      P.S. I have Windows XP.

You should get a genuine USB cord from Apple, to make sure your iPod 4G is supported correctly.
In addition to that see if Apple Mobile Device Service is still installed and active on your computer. More info in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

Another "iPod Touch not being recognized in iTunes" thread

Ok, I have a 2G 32G iPod touch and it was working beautifully...but here lately it is refusing to be recognized in iTunes. I have it plugged in and it shows charging on the iPod screen, but will not come up in iTunes...I've restarted the comp and iTunes so many times it's not funny. I've followed everything from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1852 and I guess I'll need to post the results. I did reinstall iTunes as well.
First, in the Device Manager my iPod doesn't show up in the USB drop down menu like the page says it should.
Second, when I go to the Event Manager I see some errors that say "The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( iPod Service ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Service started." And I have no idea what that means, as I'm not computer savy.
And I guess finally my iPod isn't showing up in my computer like some others have told me that it should. Any questions I need to answer please feel free to ask, I'll try anything I just want to be able to get iTunes to see my iPod again lol.
Thanks for all the help in advance.

Ipod Touch not being recognized by iTunes on ibook G4

I have an ipod Touch running 3.1.3 that I sync with my iBook G4 running 10.4.11. I've never had an issue syncing with iTunes (9.2.1) - until today. Sat down plugged in the iTouch and nothing. iPhoto is opening - which it usually does, but not iTunes. I have rebooted the computer, the iTouch.... no joy.
Can anyone help? Thanks so much!

Ipod touch isnt being shown in itunes

my itouch is not being recognezed by itunes. it is by the computer, but it wont charge either. i have restarted the computer and the ipod.
help?

Posted at the top of this page is a link to the article that discusses this. Here's the link as well: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1852
Given that you are running Windows 2000, you may also have USB driver issues. You need to have USB 2.0 ports that are "high powered" (can handle a higher current draw than 1.0 USB). If you are running an older system with 1.0 ports, you can buy a USB 2.0 card to update your computer. Usually they would come with updated USB drivers as well.
If you get that part sorted out, take a look at this article as it discusses the drivers that Apple installs to talk to your iPod: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567 and how to troubleshoot them.

Display on screen OFF but ipod touch is being displayed in itunes

If i press wake/sleep button, nothing is shown on screen. its dark only
But if i connect to laptop iPod touch is being recognized by iTunes and i am able to change the stored songs. Still i could not able to see any thing on screen
How to set brightness off screen as I could not able to see (its dark) any thing on the screen.
I already tried restore but still no display

Srikanth:
It appears that you have tried RESTORING your iPod Touch. That alone should have put the iPod Touch to original factory settings. I recommend that you take your iPod Touch to your nearest Apple Store for evaluation and possible service. This is because I think your video card is failing.

Your media should not be affected. However, you should always have a backup of your media since glitches do happen.

HT1923 I had Windows 7 and Itunes recognized my Ipod Touch with no issues. Now that I've upgraded to Windows 8 I can't get my Ipod Touch to be recognized by Itunes. Any suggestions?

I can't seem to get my Ipod touch to be recognized by Itunes now that I'm using my new upgraded Windows 8 Pro. Has anyone else experienced this problem and do you have a solution?
Thanks.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
