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

    My iPod Touch is not recognized by my computer or itunes. I believe this happened after the recent upgrade for latest fixes.

    See:

  • 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 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 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.

    Hello Amber,
    I would be concerned too if my iPod was not recognized by iTunes.  I found a couple of articles that might help with this.
    If you don't see your iPod in the My Computer or Computer section of Windows, follow the steps in this article:
    iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1369
    If Windows recognizes your iPod but iTunes does not, follow the steps in this article:

    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

  • Ipod Nano not recognized by computer (or itunes) but charging.. so connected

    worked until this am (though I think I had this once before, a couple years ago, too often follows itunes updates)
    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 Shuffle not recognized by computer, and caused a  USB power surge

    Device is not recognized by computer, and I tried the listed support recommendations.
    The problem originated when I plugged the IPOD shuffle directly into the computer USB ( not using a hub), and this caused a warning window to appear saying unknown device has caused a power surge to this port, and most be removed. Prior to this event, the IPOD shuffle has worked (with direct contact with computer usb or through a powered highspeed usb hub) without issue for nearly 1 year. Any taker's on this issue? Thanks.

    Hi JBR,
    Go to your control panel and click on Install/Uninstall programs. Scroll down and see if you have multiple versions of the ipod updater installed on your computer. If you do, then uninstall both versions. Reboot your computer.
    Next, go to the downloads page and download/install the 1-10-2006 ipod updater. Once installed, go to your start programs and select ipod updater from there. Plug in your ipod and wait a moment. If it's like mine, it'll recognize your ipod and then you can do a "restore" for a clean format.
    After that, open itunes and life should be good.
    Hope this helps!

  • Brand new iPod Touch - not recognized by my computer or iTunes

    I just purchased an iPod Touch today and it isn't showing up in My Computer or iTunes. My USB port is working because it recognizes other devises. I checked my USB port in Device Manager and it says Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller. I even uninstalled iTunes and installed it again. I'm just sick ... I have read everything I can find that might work, but nothing does.
    If anyone has a suggestion for me, I would really appreciate it.
    Martha

    Thanks, Alex. The link you gave me says that there should be a Apple device listed with my USB's and it is not. I did find the driver USBAAPL.SYS in the Windows\System32 folder\drivers. Should it be somewhere else to work??? The Mobile Device Service is there and is started. I am completely iPod ignorant, but I did have a shuffle sometime back that worked just fine.
    I appreciate your help. If you have any other advice, I would appreciate it.
