Ipod Touch Not Recognized By PC or iTunes?

I need help with my iPod touch!  I've attempted this on three different computers ( one running XP, one running Vista, and one running 7)  The computer doesn't recognize the iPod at all when its plugged in ( not even the "tone" that tells you something is connected) and it does not show up in iTunes.  I've run through every troubleshooting option on the apple support page ( uninstall/reinstall iTunes, checked for third party software, made sure the mobile device driver is working) and I just bought a brand new USB cord to make sure that it wasn't that.  Nothing.  It isn't showing that its charging (not the green battery charge symbol), but when the battery dies it will charge enough to turn it on and give me about 15% of battery life.  I'm really stumped -- I've only had this for about 18 months and already had to send it back to Apple twice for service/replacement.  Is there anything else I can do short of paying Apple to fix it AGAIN?

  • IPod touch not recognized after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.2

    Hi,
    I've an iPod touch 16GB firmware version 3.1.2. I let it sync with my iMac (2006 white plastic) running Mac OS X 10.4.11. I've just upgraded my iTunes form 9.01 to 9.02, and my iMac does not recognize iPod touch when I plug-in the USB connector. I can't see iPod touch in the iTunes, and the iPod touch does not even show the charging screen.
    Then I tried to connect iPod touch to my MacBookPro 13" 2009 running Mac OS X 10.6.2 and iTunes 9.0.2, and it works just what it should be.
    Does iTunes 9.0.2 incompatible with Mac OS X 10.4.11 ?
    I'll try to do some self-cleaning tasks and try it again.

    Ok, my bad.
    After repairing permission and clearing cache, now it worked.

  • 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

  • Old ipod touch not recognized by itunes

    I have an old ipod touch (2g) that itunes will not recognize. When I go into 'My Computer' Windows recognizes it as a camera (which it's not, but that's another story) but itunes will not find the device. I've been through the entire "ipod not recognized" help menu (updated itunes, reinstalled itunes, restarted the ipod etc) and also restarted the Apple Mobile Device Service as well as Ipod Service. The ipod still charges, but I cannot sync anything. Ideas?

    I've tried all 4 ports on my computer, none of them work. When I plug in my older ipod nano, itunes recognizes it instantly.

  • 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, 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

    HI I was having some other problems getting my itouch to restore because it was not being recognized in itunes and kept erroring out. Now it has finally restored after I updated all kinds of drivers and removed and reinstalled itunes and apple software a million times,(yes this is all after installing itunes 8.1 and paying for an itouch upgrade as well) Now itunes says it cannot do anything with the ipod because it is getting an invalid response from the device. So it won't put anything back on my itouch or even show that I have plugged it in. I emailed tech support, If I find anything out I'll let you know, will you do the same for me?
