IPod Touch not recognized by my Laptop

Hello, this is my first time posing on these Forums. I've been searching the internet for the past 2 days now looking for a solution to my problem.
I just bought my iPod Touch on Friday 24th April. I got home and set the iPod up. I previously owned a video 30GB iPod so I did not need to install iTunes. Everything was fine, I synced my music, videos and pictures and I fully charged the iPod. On Saturday when I was going to re-charge the battery, my computer did not recognise the iPod. ITunes didn't load up, and its not appearing in "My Computer". I tried every single USB drive available on my laptop, including using my brother's laptop, my work computer and my Dad's computer, with no results. It doesn't charge, therefore I can't restore it. I've not had this problem with my old iPod and I used to sync it with my laptop almost everyday.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a sloution to it?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Did you reset your ipod by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up?
Does your ipod charge if you use the adapter? If yes, try to connect it to your pc in recovery mode.
Here's how. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If you can't reset and the adapter won't charge your device it's time to call Apple or see an Apple store

  • Ipod touch not recognized by laptop

    My sister brought her ipod touch over because she forgot her password and wanted me to restore it for her. When I plug the ipod into the usb port in my laptop i get a message saying, "USB device not recognized" and that it has malfunctioned. The ipod won't charge or register at all on my laptop but it will on my ps3 so its not a problem with my usb cable. I have installed all of the drivers and updated itunes. When I plug in a mouse and keyboard they both work perfectly fine so I have no idea what the problem could be.

    What is says for Win 7 also applies t Win8.
    I would start with:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    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
    Also, connect to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod computer problem.

  • Ipod touch not recognized

    My Ipod touch is not recognized by Itunes or Windows Explorer. I have followed Apple's troublehsooting but it did not solve the problem.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can provide.

    Thanks for your assistance
    I have tried the solution you mentioned.
    I uninstalled Itunes and all other Apple software as instructed and then reinstalled the latest version
    USB port is working with other devices
    Tried a different cable
    The ipod charges with the DC charger or other compueter
    Ipod is working well
    In my opinion, the problem is related to the computer. Hardware is working well

  • 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

  • IPod Touch Not Recognized in Windows 8.1 Preview

    Hello.  I installed Windows 8.1 Preview clean last week, and am now having problems getting my iPod Touch recognized within iTunes.
    Normally, there is a button marked On This iPod, which I click, and then load music in that screen.  That button is not appearing.
    Furthermore, usually my iPod is listed somewhere in Windows Explorer.  It is not listed.  I've tried hooking the iPod Touch up to each of my USB ports.  I also have a 4-port USB 3.0 hub and tried them.  The device isn't being recognized.
    I understand it's possible there could be conflicts between Windows 8.1 and some software.  Windows 8.1 is, of course, still in the beta stages. But I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem, and if there might be a workaround for it.
    Thank you!   J. Danniel
