I can not connect my Ipod touch to my computer. it's not recognized anymore. It beeps when I plug it into the USB but doesnt charge,
or anything. It's not recognized on MyComputer anywhere, I cant sync...nothing.. I went through everything on the Itunes page under diagnostics, but
still nothing.

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

wish i can rmber how mine was fixed i think i just waited tried again and likr magic it worked again left itunplugged, i was like you recently boughtand it happened to me, now i have another diffrent promblem with it.

A few things: my ipod touch (4 gen) is plugged into my computer and charging, but it doesn't appear on itunes. Also, it shows that the wifi signal is working, but then it's telling me it's not.

I also haven't exactly started up my ipod, I just plugged it into a laptop to get it working when I was on the road, but I planned to put it on a different computer where my info from my old Ipod nano is.

Start her for PC;

Ipod classic not allowing access to to music or pod casts - shows zero files in music and pod cast but used space shows 3/4 full it is recognized by itunes sometimes on my pc but unable to view content

ipod classic shows disk 3/4 full but when i look in the folders it shows zero for music and zero for podscasts. i can not access these folders on the ipod or when it does connect to my windows computer thru itunes. it does not connect 90% of the time now. i let it check the disk when it was connected to my pc which did not good - any other ideas? other than restore?

Your iPod filesystem is corrupted, so your music and podcastr is in the Others, this is most likely caused by a slow USB connection, which timeout during sync.
Try the Hard Reset first
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
Then do the iPod Disk Diagnostic, in this earlier post by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but help you decide if your iPod is dying and causing the timeouts.
Have a nice day!

My Ipod stays Fully Charged So it will not Connect to Computer...

You would think an Ipod that is always fully charged is good! but it is not, it wont connect to the computer because it is "Fully Charged" and will never fully turn off because it is "Fully Charged". So it just sits there and goes "I am Fully Charged". I made it play videos for about 2 to 3 hours but it claimed it was still "Fully Charged". How can i get it to connect to my computer? How can i fix it so it shows me my actual battery life!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It shows this when you connect it to your computer?
Have you tried resetting the iPod while it is attached to the computer?
Resetting iPod
Also, have you tried a different USB port?
Finally, try this...

I am having the exact same problem. My ipod has been stuck in disk mode for over two hours and now itunes is frozen.

I have a mac pro, an ipad2 and now an ipod touch. Problem is my apple ID password is not recognized, and I cannot download or purchase applications. I have had to keep changing my password than it doesn't accept the new one either??? It says it's a year o

I just bought an ipod touch and am trying to make an application purchase on it and to use icloud to transfer to my ipad or laptop.
I cannot sign in. the password is never accepted. How do I get into applications to purchase or download some of what I have on my ipad?
This sign in on the ipod touch has the address computerservice1614.com I don't even know what that is. I signed in with my apple ID but had to keep changing the password because the ipod won't accept any of them. I am feeling so frustrated and wishing I didn't buy the ipod. Anyone know how to deal with this. I am so tired of trying. This is my second day of trying.

I would restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod on your computer and start over. It appears the iPod is associated with another account. Any media that came with the iPod does not belong to you and di not transfer with the iPod hardware.

I have my iTunes on my PC and have an iPod Classic, I have just purchased an iPod touch and want to load all of my Itunes music onto it, how do I do this and not loose my library, I'm not very computer savvy.

You sync music the same way as on the Classic. What you sync to an iPod does not effect the iTunes library on your computer.

Reinstall iTunes. Make sure you follow the instructions in this support document to the letter. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
You may have some problems because Apple has not certified that everything works with Windows 8 yet.

Why do my photos on my computer take up 5.5 GB but syncing them to my iPod Touch they take up around 15 GB, and why can I only select one folder to sync, and not multiple folders?

I have wiped the iPod a few times and tried from different computers. All the small things get more frustrating every day with apple.

The Camera roll, on the iPod Touch, is where photos taken by the iPod (if it has a camera), screenshots and downloaded pictures are stored. Since they have "originated" on the iPod they are not on your computer - yet. So the total size of the photos on your iPod (in your case 15GB) will be made up of photos you have synced from your computer (5.5GB) and the Camera Roll of 9.5GB.
In the Photos App, notice the line named Photo Library (I mentioned it in my previous post). That folder contains all the photos synced form your computer. If there is an extra line above the Photo Library, named Saved Photos, this is the Camera Roll and it is where those screenshots, downloaded pictures and camera shots are listed.
Cruicially, if you ever need to Restore your iPod, the Camera Roll (Saved Photos) will be deleted, so you may wish to save the contents of the Camera Roll onto your computer. My method is; when the iPod is connected to iTunes, look in My Computer for an extra drive (it should show an iPod icon) and copy them from there to a folder on my computer. If I want them on your iPod, I paste them into one of the folders I intend to use for Syncing with the iPod. Once they have been successfully saved, I can go back the My Computer/the iPod and delete them from the Camera Roll.

Possibly faulty charger. The supplied Apple Charger is covered by the iPhone Warranty. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send iPhone and Charger to Apple for resolution.

I plugged my ipod into my computer to load up new tunes and it froaze on the time I dad connected it with the message 'do not disconnect' on the screen. Despite disconnecting and reconnecting it and ensuring it was charged up it will not operate. The 'lock' symbol is showing at the top of the screen even when I have moved the lock switch. I have been using my ipod for several years with no similar fault. What is the problem/solution?

I would first try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Next would be to restore the iPod from backup

Hello johnohuk,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like most of your music was purchased from the iTunes Store. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can download your past purchases using this article:

This can sometimes be the result of a faulty/damaaged USB sync cable. Do you have another cable you could test it out with?

Launch iTunes on your new computer then from the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
Try syncing.
