Follow the directions on this page. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
It will put your iPod into recovery mode and should make it visible to Itunes.
Then you can restore it again and hopefully for the last time.

  • Brand new iPod Touch - not recognized by my computer or iTunes

    I just purchased an iPod Touch today and it isn't showing up in My Computer or iTunes. My USB port is working because it recognizes other devises. I checked my USB port in Device Manager and it says Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller. I even uninstalled iTunes and installed it again. I'm just sick ... I have read everything I can find that might work, but nothing does.
    If anyone has a suggestion for me, I would really appreciate it.

    Thanks, Alex. The link you gave me says that there should be a Apple device listed with my USB's and it is not. I did find the driver USBAAPL.SYS in the Windows\System32 folder\drivers. Should it be somewhere else to work??? The Mobile Device Service is there and is started. I am completely iPod ignorant, but I did have a shuffle sometime back that worked just fine.
    I appreciate your help. If you have any other advice, I would appreciate it.

  • Ipod touch not recognized by older computer.

    Okay, I have an old G4 mac with a limit of 10.4.11 to its operating system. I have an ipod touch which worked just fine with version 9 of Itunes. The ipod touch was wonky so I had the battery replaced and the OS reset. The problem is that they reset it to a level unrecognized by my itunes. Can I reset my ipod to an earlier version so my computer can recognize it again? I cannot use itunes version 10 because my computer is not intel based. Any answer that says I need to upgrade my computer will be ignored.

    Downgrading the iPOS is not supported by Apple.  If your G4 is 878 MHz or greater you can upgrade to OSX 10.5.  YOu can find in on eBay or a similar place,  Just make sure it is a black retail disk.  Th disks that come with the Macs will only work on the Macs there were supplied with.  You can also order ti from Apple via phone. It is not listed in their on-ine store, Apple's price is $129.

  • IPod Touch not recognized by mac computer

    I have just upgraded my os to Leopard and now when I plug in my iPod touch, iTunes does not open, and when I open it, it does not show my iPod.
    Can someone tell me how to get my computer to see my ipod.

    have had Leopard ever since it came out, this is a problem since the iLife update 2 days ago, iTunes will not recognize my iPod Touch, is reinstalling iTunes the only way to do this? I have been having problems with Mail, too. But, I guess that is a problem for another forum. I think there have been quite a few nifty, but tricky additions to iLife in the last update.

  • IPod Nano Not Recognized by any Computer

    Hi. I found an iPod Nano about a month ago. And I plugged it in to my computer and nothing, the only thing it does is it Starts to charge for about 5 seconds...then immediately stops...What I don't understand is that my iPod Shuffle works perfectly, I plug it in, then iTunes pops up. But I have tried this iPod Nano on about 5 different computers, with iTunes and nothing. I have a Windows Vista, with iTunes ver. 8.0.1 the newest. Can anyone help please?

    I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

  • Ipod touch not recognized by anything

    I have had my ipod touch for almost a year now and it has been working great. Until a couple months ago. It is not recognized by any computer in my house, so I can't charge it or put new songs on it. iTunes doesn't show up when I plug it in, i get no messages when its plugged in. The iPod simply turns on and does nothing. The weird part is that when I plug it into my iHome it gets charged and it works.
    I have tried the restoring and turning of the compter, etc. but nothing seems to be working. Has anyone else had this problem? I may have to send it off to be repaired, but maybe you could save me the weeks without my iPod by helping me fix this problem.

  • My ipod isn't recognized by any computer & itunes, and desplays a sad face.

    i have had my ipod mini for eleven months and this is the first problem i have had with it.
    i went on a vacation to flordia, and while i was there my ipod crashed. i had dropped it once a few days before the crash, but it continued to play my music after i dropped it.
    when i go to turn it on the apple logo appears, then the depressed ipod.
    my ipod isn't recognized by any computer or tunes. when i plug it into my computer, the 'do not disconnect' screen doesn't even appear. all that happens is the apple logo screen, then the depressed ipod screen, then a recharging screen appears that is stuck on the lowest point possible.
    i have already tried the "five R's" and everything else in the support pages, and so far they have helped me none. all they do is bring you around in huge circles, and you end up on the page you started on.
    i run a windows xp, and have everything fully upgraded.
    i know, i know, many of you are having similar problems, but could you please only post if you have an answer, thanks.

    I know!!! It worked just fine one day, computer recognized it and i could add or remove songs at me leisure, but now I can't even charge it on a computer becasue it doesn't exsist to it. I also tried the five steps, but you can't restore the settings on it if the computer can't find it. Finally I had my sister bending the charge piece in the ipod just for it to show up, I restored it and it didn't make a bit of difference! I lost all 800 songs on it but I still can't charge it or add songs. If you find anything out, let me know!!!

  • TS1410 my ipod is not recognized by my computer

    my ipod is not recognized by my computer?

    I realize this question is six months old, but just in case this helps someone. My PC suddenly decided not to recognize my IPod. I jumped through all the hoops for 24 hours trying all the suggestions and then just sat and took inventory of everything notable that was different from the last time I had synched it (a year earlier). I'd finally freed myself of Norton and installed Avast and several sites mentioned that as a possibility but no. In the end it was the new HP Officejet Pro 8600 software. I did a custom install and opted for the USB rather than wireless hookup. First off it took my old Canon scanner hostage and choked it into retirement. Then it started fondling Photoshop and searching for images in every file it could access. But the best trick was that it will just not let you synch your IPod for love nor money. Now I am a dinosaur and still use XP but I'm pretty sure the same thing happens with Windows 7. Fortunately, the fix is easy enough ***doink***, yank the printer's USB cable out of your PC and everything is fine.
    Just posted this in the hope I can save somebody else a day's worth of cursing and hair tearing...PB

  • My ipod is not recognized by my computer

    Help! My ipod is not recognized by my computer. I cant restore it or download on it. It was working fine until yesterday.

    First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
    Still no joy, see these.

  • IPod touch Not recognized by Computer but charges?

    Hey all
    Want to ask you to help me.
    My iPod touch 4th generation is not recognized by the computer, when I plug it in, nothing happens. I got my working iPod touch 4th generation and plugged it in to the computer and the computer made that ding sound and itunes recognized it.
    It is not the computer problem in this case. I just restored another 4th gen iPod Touch last night and it connected and everyrthing so this is a problem wirth te unit itself.
    If this helps any, the screen was proffesionally replaced. (not by Apple)
    Any help is appreciated, thanks.

    I checked the dock connector and the corners of it are worn to a tiny copper wire on the left side but it's not sticking out. My other 3 iPod touches 4th gens have the identical thing, 2 have it worse in fact, yet, they connect to the computer fine. It is a problem with the iPod itself...
    I bought the iPod like this after the screen was replaced from eBay.  It was like this before the screen was replaced anyways.
    Any other ideas?

  • TS1369 ipod touch not recognized by computer or itunes

    My iPod Touch is not recognized by my computer or itunes. I believe this happened after the recent upgrade for latest fixes.

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Also, 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
