  • Ipod touch won't connect to computer, windows 7, and itunes, and won't charge on my computer

    Whenever I plug in my ipod touch to my computer, NOTHING HAPPENS.There is no "bleep" sound, nothing shows up under my computer, nothing shows up in itunes, and my ipod touch won't even charge. How can I fix this?
    I have tried many things to fix this issue, including reading and doing everything listed under "iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows".
    I have:
    - deleted itunes and reinstalled it
    - reset my ipod touch using the home and power key
    - tried fixing drivers
    - using a different cord
    - using a different computer (my ipod touch won't even show up on any other computer)
    etc.
    And yet my ipod touch still will not connect to my computer or itunes, and will not charge on my computer. It charges fine in the wall, though.
    I have more information that I believe may be integral to fix this issue:
    - My ipod touch is up to date with iOS 8.0.2
    - My itunes is up to date with version 11.4
    - I tried to connect my ipod using bluetooth, and it shows up like this
    (other than this, it won't show up on my computer at all)
    - After I had updated my ipod touch and itunes and even synced my ipod (which had worked fine), I had then put a facebook app and facebook message app on my ipod touch, which after I had done that the next day I noticed that my ipod touch would not even show up on my computer at all (so I deleted the apps) and yet the problem is still persisting.
    - I installed iCloud on both my ipod touch and my itunes
    - Other than what I stated, I have not made any changes to my ipod touch.
    In my device manager, NO APPLE PRODUCTS/DRIVERS SHOW UP ANYWHERE
    The only place that apple mobile device show up at is here -
    I've even tried to reset/stop/set to automatic the Apple Mobile Device here, and still it does not help.
    Someone please help me. I've provided much information, so some assistance would really be appreciated. If I need to provide more information, please let me know.

    You can try going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and setting and then try setting up via iTunes. If still problem then set up via wifi and go to an Apple Store
    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

  • IPod touch won't connect to computer after failed update?????

    A few days ago, I had received a new cable to update my iPod touch from Amazon. This cable is not made by Apple. I have had two cables in the past from Apple, one that came with my 1st Generation Nano and one that came with my iPod touch. The former cable is the older version of the cable, while the latter is the newer version. A year ago the newer cable that came with the iPod touch broke. So I bought a new one from Apple. Then that one broke in June. Because I did not want to spend any money on a new one, I just used my old cable. It worked for a while until it stopped functioning. I have not updated my iPod touch until recently when I had purchased this new cable (which looks like the older version of the cable). It had updated my sister's 4 year old Video iPod and my 1st generation Nano. When I had plugged in my iPod touch with this new cable, my Compaq Presario V6000 laptop said it was syncing the iPod. But on the iPod screen it was saying the opposite. It was allowing me to use my iPod while Syncing it. Recently it has been doing that, when this iPod was brand new it was saying syncing, cancel to unsync. Now here is where the problem with my iPod has occured. So on the sync page on iTunes it said that there was a new update ready for my iPod. So I clicked update and allowed iTunes to download the software, extract the old software, and back it up. But in the middle of backing it up, it said my iPod was disconnected from my computer. When it was clearly connected to my laptop. I unconnected my iPod and reconnected. Now it said it was connected. It said I had to restore my iPod to its original settings and while it was doing so, it said that my iPod had disconnected again, while it was clearly plugged into the computer. Now my iPod won't even update at all. And every time I press the hold button it shows the symbol for itunes and the cable, meaning that I should be connecting to itunes, even though it is hooked up to the computer but not being recognized. The cable works though, because right after this I had updated my Nano to see if the cable was broken. I forgot to mention that similar problems with connecting and disconnecting occurred with the other plugs to, but not to this extent. Can anybody please help me solve this problem? Could it be the cord? My ipod? My laptop(I would say that it is my laptop's fault, seeing that it is a piece of garbage. But I tried connecting my iPod to my sister's macbook pro and it did not work either)? Would you recommend me to just bring my ipod, the new cable, and my laptop to the Genius Bar at the Apple Store and ask them in person??
    *Sorry if some of the wording does not make sense. If you need any other information ask me. I want this solved as soon as possible.*

    Could there be a problem that is happening to my ipod right now that is not associated with a usb cable problem? I want to avoid buying a new cable until I eliminate all other problems that I could have. If it is not a cable problem I don't want to spend money on something that is not necessary at the moment.
    By the way, by following your advice with my current cable, iTunes recognized my iPod, and said you must restore this iPod before you can use it with iTunes. I clicked on restore. It extracted the software and once that was done it said Preparing iPod for restoring. It started to do it but then it said "The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (13)."

  • IPod touch won't connect to computer

    my parents bought me an IPod touch for Christmas and loaded all their music on it.   I opened it up last night, charged it and it worked! Wonderfully.   This morning there's an icon showing a power cord and the iTunes logo and my computer says it needs to be restored for some reason.   It won't link up.  I keep hearing the noise for it connecting and disconnecting....then an error code (9).    I've researched it and tried to follow all the steps.   I'veade sure my USB driver is good.  ive uninstalled iTunes and all apple software....reinstalled it.    Nothing works.  I'm forward deployed in the military and don't have access to an Apple Store anywhere near me.    I'm hoping that my parents didn't waste their money on something that won't work.   Please help!

    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.
    Next try on another computer

  • Ipod touch won't connect to computer at all.

    I got a new generation iPod touch for christmas. Updated the iTunes and all that jazz and it worked fine. I probably only plugged it in about 3 times or so because I have a dock that can charge it. (I haven't plugged it into the computer since I put it on the dock so maybe that has something to do with it?)But today I plugged it in and it won't connect to the computer at all. The computer recognizes it because when I plug it in that pop up comes up that says "this device can perform faster if you connect to it a Hi-Speed USB port" but it won't charge or connect to iTunes. But, my other ipod will connect and open iTunes with no problem.
    Any ideas? I don't know what else to do and nothing on the support pages fixes my problems so I really need you guys.

    nope. i thought about trying to restore it but i'm afraid i'm going to be stuck with a 300 dollar ipod with nothing on it. and i think it's completely stupid that you have to pay for support because i was looking for a number to call but my parents didn't get any coverage when they bought it for me. i don't know if you have it but if you do, try calling and please please pleaseeee let me know. you'd be my savior. haha.

  • 4th gen iPod touch won't connect to computer

    I have tried it in all of my USB ports, but it will not connect at all. It's not even that It's not showing up in iTunes, It's also not charging or showing on my computer. I've only had it since December '10, please help!

    Perhaps your USB cable has gone bad? It's worth checking.

  • IPod Classic Won't Connect to Computer or iTunes

    My iPod Classic 160GB started to stop showing up both in Finder and on iTunes a few weeks ago. If I connect it to a wall charger then it will still charge, so I'm fairly sure it's not a problem with the cable dock or anything. I've literally tried every suggestion I could find, but nothing has worked so far. The iPod still plays music fine, but it won't sync with iTunes or show up at all in Finder.
    I've already tried resetting it (both while connected to the computer and not) and switching USB ports (it didn't work on another computer's USB ports either). I've tried everything listed on Apple's recommended solutions to this problem. I'm mostly resigned to having to get a new device, but I wanted to check and see if anyone else had any other possible solutions. Once again, I have tried all the basic troubleshooting problems, so please don't give me those. I would appreciate any help you guys can offer, thanks!

    I have this problem too please help.

  • My ipod touch won't connect to wifi at home and it use to, it keeps saying my password is wrong

    My ipod touch won't connect to wifi at home, it use to work just fine, now it keeps telling me my password is wrong, but it can't be wrong because it is the same one I have always used. I also have an IPad2 that belongs to my daughter and it connects with our wifi at home with no problem.  But, why is my wifi telling me that my password is wrong.  I have tried everything, we have changed the pass word and that did not work.  We have have taken security off of our wifi and my ipod touch give me another message, but it won't connect to my wifi at home.  Please help... b/c the greatest thing for me is to be able to connect to wifi at home.
    thanks

    I have even shut down my ipod touch to see if it fixes the lack of wifi connection at home but it keeps telling me my password is wrong.  I can connect everywhere else, but not at home.  Pls help my.. I need to connect at home.  Does it matter if we have othere decives like ipads connected to the same wifi.  Because we have an ipad2 and my ipod and up until 1 week ago, we had very little issues keeping both of our devices connected at home.  Eitherway the ipad2 is still working just fine on our home wifi, but my ipod touch keeps refuseing to accept the password.
    Pls help, i am very frustrated and I have tried everything.

    Simple question, Do you have the latest iTunes installed in your Mac?

  • Two of our ipod touches won't connect to the home wifi.  They have done before. All other apple devices connect fine.  They can see the wifi devices, appear to try to connect (the circle whirls around) but connection doesn't complete.  Ideas?

    I have 2 of them that only connected for a day and then reset network settings and they connected again for a day now resetting network settings does not fix it either. My iphone used to work with my home network but after upgrading to the latest OS which is the same versions as the ipods it no longer works either. Acts the same as the ipods. It would seem that the latest tweeks to the OS is the problem with wifi connectivity.

  • My iPod Touch won't connect to iTunes or my computer, and the "on this iPod" tab is gone out of the blue. I can't put any more music onto my iPod, and I can't erase anything off of it either! What can I do?

    My iPod Touch is a 6.1.6
    I got it as a gift a couple years ago, so I'm not sure exactly what generation it is. My iPod Touch will not connect to iTunes or my computer, and the "on this iPod" tab is also gone. I can't put anything new onto it and I can't take anything old off of it! This just happened recently as well, as it was working fine up until a couple months or so ago. What can I do?

    Or
    See

    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
