Ipod touch shows up under devices on the left in itunes, but only shows "ipod" to the right
I have an ipod touch 4th generation 64 gb. I connected to iTunes using usb cord. normally, the device shows up in the left hand column of itunes. then on the right, you have the ipod info - summary- music- apps, etc. however, the only thing i get on the right is just the word "ipod" nothing else. no links or tabs or even a sync button. please help
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

My new ipod touch is recognized under devices when i plug it into my computer but when i click on it, all that shows up is the word ipod in the middle of the screen. it wont let me sync anything on it either.
It sounds like you need to set it up, and that makes sense because you said that its a new iPod. Just go through the steps of setting up a new iPod and you should be good.

my ipod touch does not turn on after steps 1-4. It only shows the apple logo and turns off
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple stor and see what they can do. Make sure y have proof that the iPod is yours. The iOS 7 activation lock is working

My ipod touch says it is disabled and to connect to itunes, but it won't let me. It is froze....what can I do?
Connect in recovery mode to restore, explained in this article: iOS: Unable to update or restore
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

My ipod touch is disabled and it says to connect to itunes but itunes says it can't sync because it is locked. Any way to unlock and keep data? (apps, gaming levels, music).
Hi,
Take it to you nearest Apple Store and see what they have to say. You should back up you data before you go in but in your case you can not.

Where do I find a tutorial about how to use the new iTunes? I have version 11.1.3 (8). I looked on the Apple web site but only found info extolling the virtues of iTunes, not how to use it.
Use it the same way as previously.
ctrl B shows the menus.
ctrl S shows the sidebar.
What else do you need help with? -
I comment the app on itunes but I can not complete the purchase of the app ask you just how I can do better
So you want to use the app in a different account than you bought it with. If that is the case you need to contact the Mac App Store support. You will find the link for that in the Mac App Store by clicking Featured - Under Quick Links you will see the Support link. Follow that for help.

How can I make my iPod touch 2G appear under "devices with removable storage"?
My ipod always appears under "portable devices" under "my computer". I use Windows 7. I want to know why it does not appear under "devices with removable storage". I manually manage its contents. Please give any suggestions that may help. Thanks!
- Because via My Coputer yu can only access the the photos (DCIM folder) taken by or saved to the iPod. The iPod touch (and iPad and iPhone) do not have a disk mode like other iPods)
- You need a third-party program like SharePod to access music w/o iTunes -
My iPod says it is carging, but iTunes doesn't say it is. It doesn't even have a devices category on the sidebar.
When I plug it in, it tells me, " iTunes has detected an iPod in Recovery Mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." I don't have an option to back it up, only to restore it. I'm going to be annoyed if it erases everything, it never told me it would do this if I updated....

My ipod touch 4th generation has recently been telling me I need to connect to iTunes (i think). It has a symbol with a chord, and an arrow above it pointing to the iTunes logo. So I re-downloaded itunes, and I plugged it in to my computer. It told me that iTunes couldn't connect to my iPod because it is password-locked, so I have to put in my password. But I can't do it because of the stupid picture on the screen! I tried turning the iPod on and off, I've looked up and down the internet, etc. etc. The thing I thought might actually help was to put it in recovery mode, but I've tried that too, although the instructions weren't very clear on the apple website and I doubt the way it told me could have worked anyways. I NEED HELP QUICK!!!!!
If anyone could find a video on youtube telling us how to put it in recovery mode, that would be awesome too, but solving this quandary would be better.Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
So I've set up Ethernet Internet Sharing via my iMac, and my iPod Touch and other devices can see the network. I type in the password, it succeeds but instead of a tick appearing I get the grey loading wheel forever. Why can I 'connect' to the network but not actually gain internet access? I've even tried no password and the same thing happens.
Thanks for your time.i have same problem if i close sharing and reoopen my sharing i get a 1-5 minute connection
not sure 1-5 minutes is helpful but if i solve it i will let you know -
what do i do
Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.

If not successful, try DFU mode.

It's all in the title
Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
if still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
I suspect you have a hardware problem.
