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:

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 reinstalling OS because of crash

    My IPOD Touch isn't recognized by ITUNES after the OS got reinstalled. I hook it up and ITunes doesn't respond, it's like it isn't even connected.
    I've restarted both devices (nothing), I've tried both USB ports (they're fine), nothing. Any suggestions?

    You might need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service. Check out this article:

  • IPod touch not recognized by iTunes on Windows

    My email is [email protected]  My iPod touch is not showing up at all either in Computer or in iTunes.  I've tried everything...and yes, I mean everything that has been suggested here.  HELP.
    All I want to do is basic stuff: sync, download music, etc.

    Did you try everything here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Another cable?
    Another USB port?
    Does the iPod work
    Does it charge?
    Try with another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem. Make an appointment at After you went to the Genius Bar of an Apple store what did the Genius say? You said you tried everything that has been discussed here and one action discussed is making an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
    Just saying you tried everything provides us with zero information as to what you did try.

  • 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
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • 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 is not recognized in ITunes after upgrade to 7.3.1

    Please help. I upgraded ITunes to the 7.3.1 version and now my IPod is not recognized in my ITunes. The USB port is working since my IPod recharged when I plugged it into the computer. I uninstalled & then reinstalled ITunes, but, my IPod is still not recognized by ITunes or my computer. I cannot find it listed in "my computer" files.
    Any suggestions as to what happened? Thanks.

    Your post solved the same problem for me. Thank you so much! And thanks to JaketheSnake for starting this thread. iTunes used to start up automatically whenever I connected my iPod Touch, but a couple of months ago it quit doing that. I didn't think much of it as I just clicked on iTunes in the dock and opened it and went on my merry way. I just figured something in the last iTunes update changed it's behavior. But lately I noticed that my iPod Touch would be in the source list while it was syncing and then it would sometimes just disappear. I was too lazy to start a thread, I guess, because I just thought someone would tell me to "restore" my iPT and I had gotten used to my little "work arounds". But now it's fixed, thanks to both of you.

  • Ipod touch not recognized in windows after reset

    I just reset my ipod touch in itunes and now it's not recognizing it. i was updating to 2.2.1 firmware and i never got past the update. it's hung on that screen that has the usb and cd. and windows keeps saying found new hardware and wants a driver. my ipod does not work now. how do i get windows to recognize it so i can finish the update.
    I'm on xp 64 bit. and yes i'm using a hacked version of itunes. but it worked with this update before. i actually had the 2.2.1 firmware on it already but i needed to reset the ipod because i have a dead strip i was hoping a reset would fix. now nothing works.

    I uninstalled iTunes, rebooted, and reinstalled.  Now, the iPod is being recognized by iTunes.  Hopefully, it will remain recognized the next time I reboot Windows.  I'd hate to have to uninstall/reinstall each time.
    But, I'm using a beta operating system, and knew the ramafications when I installed it.  So, whatever happens, happens.  Thank you for responding.   Jd

I tried EVERYTHING (uninstalling itunes, reinstalling, downgrading itunes, removing pics out of storage folder,restoring ipod, searching google for drivers for ipod, trying to find the right driver using device manager, made sure apple mobile was on and working, checked device manager under universal serial bus controls and apple mobile device was not listed, tried plugging in nano n itunes recognized it immediately... I found that alot of ipod touch owners had the exact same problem when upgrading itunes, but could not find a solution that worked..after about a week of trying fixed the problem..

  • TS1538 iPod touch not recognized by iTunes, Windows only recognizes it as a camera.

    So I've been having trouble with my iPod Touch and iTunes lately. First, the registry settings for the iTunes drivers message kept popping up whenever I opened my iTunes, prompting me to uninstall and reinstall iTunes at least a dozen times. After solving that problem, Windows has been able to recognize my iPod, but only as a camera and not as an iPod, preventing me from updating my music. I've tried different USB cords in different ports, but to no avail. My iPod is recognized on other computers as an iPod. I've followed the Apple resolutions but it still hasn't fixed my problem.

    I've removed and reinstalled it many times and each time I do it, I always get the registry errors and the failure to download the driver, but I resolved those. Here are the diagnostic test results:
