Ipod touch not recognized by itunes 9 (this isn't the usual problem.)

My sister put playdoh in my usb cord a month or two ago and in the open part of the ipod which you put the usb cord in.I cleaned it out with a toothpick. First usb cord stopped working got another one. My ipod was fine till a few weeks ago. My ipod used to only connect 1/10 times randomly, but now it rarely does. I tried every usb hub or port internal and external. I've tried restoring my ipod, reinstalling itunes, restarting services, etc. Can someone help me. Someone said maybe the connectors are coroded, but the warranty i don't believe covers against abuse though my 3 year old sister did it... really a kick in the balls. Anyway if you can help i'd appreciate it thanks.

Well i have noticed that it will randomly turn off now
Okay. I don't associate that with a corrosion issue. (Our nano would play and charge perfectly happily, it just wouldn't sync any more after I had sweated out the dock connector.)
So, I'm suspecting that the connection trouble might be related more to whatever's causing the random stopping rather than the Play-Doh incident.
Perhaps try another restore to see if you can get her playing-without-switching-off/syncing again ... and if she continues to misbehave, and there's no sign of Play-Doh in the connector any more, I think you've got a decent and legitimate shot at getting her replaced under guarantee (if she's still under guarantee).

IPod Touch not recognized by iTunes after a Reset?

My iPod Touch is not recognized by iTunes. This has nothing to do with the new OS update. 2 months ago I was having lots of problems and decided to use the reset since it was not showing up on iTunes to do the Restore. Since then I was able to get all of my apps back but cannot get anything off the computer like my songs. When I plug it in anywhere the battery life screen does not come one (dark) and the little sound it makes (silent) is absent as well. Any ideas anyone?

Your USB 2.0 cable might be broken. You might need to buy another. Heres some links:
http://www.amazon.com/Original-Connector-Cable-MA591G-Apple/dp/B004WWLULA/ref=sr _1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331433047&sr=8-1
The one from amazon is around $12 cheaper. But if you want the new Apple Cable, here it is.

Ipod touch not recognized by itunes

After installing the recent update for itunes I believe it is 11.0.1, my ipod touch no longer is detected by itunes. It is not listed under the devices. It is recognized by my computer but not my itunes. When I plug it in a screen on the ipod pops up asking if I trust this computer I hit trust and nothing happens. I can't sync it via wi-fi either. I have tried reinstalling Itunes and restarting my computer and none of that has worked.

It is iTunes 11.1.4
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

4g iPod touch not recognized by iTunes

I have a 4g iPod touch that is not recognized by iTunes, yet my old Shuffle still is. I went through the entire Apple assistant but no change in status.

After going through list of actions a second time, I have corrected the problem.
It started working properly after a proper uninstall and re-installation of iTunes. I had done it once, but I didn't root out ALL the files associated with iTunes.
You have to find and delete every last one of those little suckers!

IPod Touch NOT recognized in iTunes : HELP NEEDED

My Ipod Touch is NOT being recognized by itunes.
-Ipod Touch 3g with 4.3 software
-iTunes 10.2
-PC: HP Pavilion Dv6.
-OS: Windows 7 64-bit [Eng]
Ok so... I previously kept my ipod touch version as 3.1.3, and only used itunes 9.2 because I tried using itunes 10.1 and my ipod wouldn't work with it, so I downgraded back to itunes 9.2.
With this, everything was working perfectly fine.
I recently bought an app from the app store (Infinity Blade) and tried to sync and install it onto my ipod touch 3g.
itunes had a popup reading that it couldn't be installed as my software had to be 4.1 or higher.
So, I decided to update my ipod.
Like I said above, I tried using itunes 10.1 with my ipod but it wouldn't recognize it then either, so I went back to using itunes 9.2.
Because of this, I had to manually install the 4.3 software onto my ipod.
Tried using my newly updated ipod (4.3) on my itunes 9.2, and it said it didn't work, that I needed the new itunes.
So, I installed iTunes 10.2, plugged in my ipod touch 3g with 4.3 software,
my computer said it downloaded the Apple Device drivers successfully. My ipod shows that it is being charged, but it is still not being recognized in itunes.

Nothing huh? No one's had this problem or this isn't fixable... oh well... if anybody comes up with anything I'll check in occasionally...

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.

IPod Touch Not Recognized in iTunes - Tried Everything

I recently purchased a new iPod Touch, then upgraded my MacBook from OS 10.4 to OS 10.5.6, with iTunes 8.0.2. Now the iPod Touch is not recognized in the iTunes sidebar. I've read the forum postings and the Apple support documents about this. I've recharged the iPod Touch battery, connected it to a different USB port, turned it off and on again, reset the settings, restarted the computer--all several times. Still, the iPod Touch does not show up in iTunes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, Welcome to discussions.
I noticed you said you updated from 10.4 to 10.5.6 with iTunes 8.0.2
I agree with Deggie and trying the article posted. But also one of the other things you can try before that article. Is you can delete the iTunes Application from the Application folder, Empty trash, restart the Mac, and then download and install latest version of iTunes. If the article below does not assist ensure you also use the article Deggie posted as it does assist with the Apple Mobile Device service.
