IPod touch Not recognized by Computer but charges?

Hey all
Want to ask you to help me.
My iPod touch 4th generation is not recognized by the computer, when I plug it in, nothing happens. I got my working iPod touch 4th generation and plugged it in to the computer and the computer made that ding sound and itunes recognized it.
It is not the computer problem in this case. I just restored another 4th gen iPod Touch last night and it connected and everyrthing so this is a problem wirth te unit itself.
If this helps any, the screen was proffesionally replaced. (not by Apple)
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I checked the dock connector and the corners of it are worn to a tiny copper wire on the left side but it's not sticking out. My other 3 iPod touches 4th gens have the identical thing, 2 have it worse in fact, yet, they connect to the computer fine. It is a problem with the iPod itself...
I bought the iPod like this after the screen was replaced from eBay.  It was like this before the screen was replaced anyways.
Any other ideas?

  • IPod Touch not recognized by ITunes, but IPhone is. What can cause only one device to not be recognized?

    I have tried reinstalling ITunes and resetting my IPod Touch. The computer recognizes the IPod Touch as a connected device, but ITunes doesn't. However, ITunes will recognize other devices that I plug in with the same usb cord. ITunes diagonistics only says that no device is plugged in whenever the IPod Touch is plugged in. What can cause this combination of problems, and how could I get around it?

    If you have iTunes 11 on the computer and are using the same cable that works with the iPhone then:
    - 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.
    - 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
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware preoblem

  • Ipod touch not recognized on computer

    My computer does not recognize my ipodtouch.  I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, but the computer does not show the ipod.  I tried to follow suggestions and find the apple usb driver, but it does not seem to have updated the driver.  (The driver is located on the C drive, but the date is not from today's update... it is an older driver and does not open, it asked Open With... )  ERRRR, I'm disappointed that the Ipod Touch was working, and now it's not charging or recognized on the computer.

  • IPod touch not recognized by computer

    I just got my hard drive reformatted, as something was wrong with it, and now my iPod touch won't sync with my computer. I'm using the USB 2 cord that came with it--if I plug it into the wall charger base, it charges fine. But when I plug it into my computer, nothing at all happens. My iPod does not start charging, it does not start syncing, the computer does nothing. It's as if I didn't even plug it in at all. I really don't want to drive across town to the apple store again. Does anyone know what's wrong or how I might fix this? Thanks

    Did you reinstall itunes, using a new download from the Apple homepage?
    Is your ipod showing in the system profiler/ usb highspeed ports?
    Did you already reset the ipod by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up?
    Did you try to connect in recovery mode? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Why is my iPod Nano not recognized in iTunes but charges?

    I have a Mac Book Pro and an original iPod Nano. I have old music on my Nano that I want to put on my comp, I have a program for that. But the thing is that even though when I plug in my Nano, it lights up and charges but it isn't recognized in iTunes. How can I fix this? Oh and my screen is broken so I can't reset anything from my iPod itself without like step by step direction because the click sound still works and I guess I can figure out what to do if you say like one click down or 2 clicks down... THANKS!!

    Otherwise, take the computer & iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

    Also, if you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

  • IPhone not recognized by computer, but is charging just fine?

    Hello,
    I have synced my phone before with my iTunes just fine, but lately I've had issues. I plug my phone into my computer and it charges it just fine, but no trust notification or anything has shown up. No indication of it being noticed at all happens. Now before you answer, let me explain some things;
    1. I've tried three different cords, old one, and two new ones.
    2. It is no where to be found in device manager or anything of the sort.
    3. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all of iTunes at least three times, to no avail.
    4. Restarted and updated everything multiple times as well.
    5. Tried two other computers, nothing.
    I have iOS 8.1.2, and the newest iTunes (12.something.)
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Well, this is the support document for an iPhone not being recognized with iTunes in Windows. iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    When you removed and reinstalled iTunes, did you do it by following the instructions in this support document? Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support
    If you did not follow the instructions above, it can cause additional issues for you. With the phone connected, you say you do not see it in device manager, do you see it in Computer? Do you see any USB error in device manager?

    connected to computer (win 7) this morning and it is not recognized by computer (or itunes)
    can't find it looking in Explorer
    but, it is charging so... it is connected
    have tried everything except re-installing itunes... if the computer is not seeing it, and it shows the connection when itunes isn't open...
    would that make any difference?

  • IPod Touch not recognized by iTunes and not charging when plugged into computer

    I plugged in my iPod touch to my Mac computer. My iPod doesn't charge and iTunes isn't recognizing it. I have turned my iPod on/off, I have reset it, I have the newest version of iTunes, and I restarted my computer. Nothing has helped. What do I do?

    Did it sync to the computer before?
    What model iPod do you have and what iOS is installed?
    Your post states that your have OSX 10.4.11. If you updated the iOS on your iPod on another computer your computer may not recognize the iPod.  The newer iOS require 10.5.8 or higher.

  • 3rd generation iPod Touch not recognized by Mac & iTunes!

    My 3rd generation ipod touch is not recognized on iTunes but is recognized when I plug it into a different computer. I've tried reinstalling iTunes numerous times and have referred to other online tutorials. With no success, my iPod will still not show up on my Macbook, and I've never experienced a problem like this before with either device. My mac and itunes still recognize my iPhone so I don't know why they would recognize one device but no the other. Solutions?
    Any feedback will help greatly. Thanks.

    It should work fine.  I have a 1st gen shuffle, and it still works...
    If you are updating to iTunes 11.x for the first time, iTunes may hide the sidebar initially, which is where the shuffle appears.
    If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, the shuffle should appear under DEVICES.
