IPod Touch not recognised on Windows 8 and will not appear as connected in iTunes.

Usually when I plug my iPod Touch (4th Gen) into my laptop (Windows 8) it appears automatically on iTunes for me to sync. However, when I tried to do this today, iTunes did not recognise that a device was connected and this was confirmed after I did a diagnostic test. Windows recognises that an iPod has been plugged in, however where it usually says "Alicia's iPod Touch", it just appears as "Apple iPod" and when I click on it, I cannot access any photos/videos that I have on my iPod. Any help would be very much appreciated if anybody know how I can fix this. Thank you.

Hello Ali_95
Check out the article below for troubleshooting issues with your iPod touch not showing up in iTunes. It may be an issue with security software or the Apple Mobile Device driver.

My iPod Touch power button is stuck and will not pop back up. My iPod Touch Repairs and Service Coverage is still active, Does that mean I can get a new iPod Touch?

Apple will most likely exchange it. The one you receive will be refurbished.

Ipod touch was working, shut down and will not power up

Ipod was working. Went dead and will not power up. The unit was charged. I connect it to a charger and I get nothing. Tried the power and home button combo but the unit is not responding. It is less than 6 months old

Try restoring the iPod via iTunes on your computer. If iTunes does not see the iPod:
- place the iPod in recovery mode. See:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- If not successfull, try placing the iPod in DFU mode:

Trying to activate my 3GS and the phone will not recognise the sim and will not activate

Help Please
I have changed my call plan with my service provider from contract to PAYG and have just tried to upgrade my 3Gs to IOS 5.0.1. I have purchase a iPhone 4 and was using the 3Gs as back up.
I set the phone to factory restore as it was being sluggish and I felt a restore would be the best option. The restore went ahead but the phone will not accept that I have a valid sim in the phone and will not activate stating that the servers cannot activate the phone.
The sim is the new PAYG sim given to me by O2 and I had even arranged for the number to be transferred to the PAYG sim. I am at a loss to understand what has happened as the sim will work fine in an old 8gb Iphone 2g and other mobiles. I have not kept the old contract sim so I am unable to insert that to see if that was the problem.
How can I get my 3Gs acitated and working? Do I need to contact O2 or take the phone to an Apple store. Any advice would be appreciated.

You need a valid micro-sim. to acivate.

Ipod touch stuck in recovery mode and will not restore. error code 3194

ipod touch stuck in recovery mode, will not restore and comes up with error code 3194, itunes is up to date, please help

Hi @rchangel - Thanks for the ideas...
Yes - it won't let you install the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine.
I've had a cursory look at the SP1 release notes, and couldn't spot anything vital - what critical stuff do you know of in SP1?
I don't want to have to go through all the pain of setting up VM's, reinstalling iTunes, getting all my album art back in etc. (though I could, as I do have Win7 pro). I've also heard that running iTunes in Windows 7 compatibility mode might help. Can anyone confirm whether that actually works?
I think it's in Apple's gift to fix this issue, given that they say that they support Windows 7. So far I've had no feedback from a mail I sent to Apple, and the number of users reporting this problem keeps going up and up.
I want Apple to recognise that there is a problem, and then I want them to fix it.

My 4th generation ipod touch is in recovery mode and will not restore

HT201263 My 4th gen ipod touch is 6 mos old and will not turn on

My 4th gen ipod touch is 6 mos old. Tried to turn on today and nothing. Plugged into computer held down sleep/wake button and plugged into computer with usb. Nothing. It has not been dropped or bumped. It has been stored as I don't use it often only to play music on spotify thru internet. I probably haven't used this ipod more than 20 times. Any suggestions?

- After being connected to a charging source for at least an hour see if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
- If not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

HT4972 ipod touch locked up during update and will not restore

My son was given an ipod touch by his cousin. He used it for a while and then decided to update the os. We followed the instructions but during the restore process the ipod shows the picture of cable connecting to itunes. It is connected but itunes does not see it and I can not get it to do anything else. I went to the apple store and spoke with them and they told me to do a hard reset and try again. I did to no avail. Does anyone have an idea of how to repair this???

My ipod touch keeps flashing the logo and will not turn on nor does the computer recognizes it.

I downloaded Cydia a couple of days ago, now my Ipod touch keeps flashing the apple logo.

Try the remaining items here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If not successful and you can't turn the iPod completely off let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least of hour try again.
If still not successful then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My Ipod touch ios version 6.1.3 will not allow me to connect to my wifi, Please help me!!

My ipod touch ios version 6.1.3 will not allow me to connect to my wifi. I tried rebooting my wifi router, refreshing my ipod, resseting the networks and manually logging into my wifi. Sometimes it will go through for a brief moment, but the wifi connection will ultimately disconnect. Each time i try to connect to my wifi afterwards a small pop up will say "Unable to join the network". Please help. it's really annoying and frustrating.

Thank you Carolyn Samit, but nothing is working.
I've restored my ipod both to a backup and back to factory. I know the password is correct,
the router is the newest version (and it's plugged in and on), my ipod is updated, i've turned my wifi settings on and off, i've turned the ipod off and on. No luck yet. I've been working on it for hours now. About ready to sleep on it...maybe some luck will find me tomorrow...
Still in need of dire help.
