Ipod touch won't connect to Itunes, Only shows its charging. Screen just says connect to itunes. Won't do anything else.

Ipod touch G4. Daughter turned it off and restarted it and now it just says connect to itunes. When I do it isn't recognized but shows its charging. I've tried different usb cords and a different computer, also tried restarting the Apple Mobile device as it tells me in help forum. Any help is appreciated.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

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.

Brand new iPod touch won't do anything over WiFi

My iPod touch arrived in the mail this morning and since I charged it up it either a) browses extremely slow in Safari and then quits or b) continues to claim there is no network connection.
I currently have it downgraded to WEP and now nothing works, Mail, Safari, not even the Weather app will update. YouTube has never worked at all.
I'm on 2.1.1 software and have since discovered this forum is full of WiFi problems. Needless to say I am very dissatisfied with this and had I known the iPod touch is absolutely useless for WiFi I would've saved $100 and just got a nano instead.

Hi. I read through this thread and many others (seems many people have problems connecting iPod Touches to the internet) and have tried to connect my iPod touch. I have a Linksys WRT5G V8 router, a Zyxel -600 Series modem, a PC running windows xp, and a MacBook. My PC and Macbook run fine. My iPod touch does not.
I have updated the firmware. I have made a full bridge connection. I have restored my iPod. I have power cycled the modem and router.
If you will bear with me, I will now post what my setting are on my router with the hopes someone will be able to help me make a connection with my iPod. I should point out that like others, I am able to connect to the internet, but not download any pages or send/receive mail.

So....by looking at the above, can someone please tell me what to do to make the iPod touch connect to the internet and download pages?
I have spent hours upon hours and then more hours trying to make this thing work. I paid and additional fee to Linksys to have them troubleshoot the problem but the first guy i spoke with said I had to do the bridge connection so we hung up and when he called back, I was out and he never called back so I called Linksys. Despite the fact that I explained how I had spoken with an advanced tech, the man would not transfer me and insisted my problem was solved because my pc, laptop, and iPod did connect to the network -- never mind the fact that 1 of the three didn't work properly which was the sole purpose of my phone call to begin with.
I would really like to get the iPod going -- my daughter just bought her's and is anxiously looking forward to being able to use it.
In closing, I'm wondering if I should give up with this particular router and buy a new one...but which new one? The Apple tech recommended either an Airport Extreme or Airport Express -- has anyone had success connecting these to iPod Touches?????
Thanks!

My new iPod touch 4th gen is not working only showing apple icon! Been on charge for ages! And have tried to re set it turning off coming back to icon screen then not doing anything from there! Help!

New iPod touch. Been working fine, needed charging so have charged it for ages. Only apple icon screen is appearing and nothing else! Have tried re setting still nothing! Help!

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Why does my ipod touch 5th generation completely shuts off even when its charged and then doesnt turn back on?

This is very frustrating. Like three months ago my ipod touch, 5th generation, just turns off out of no where. It will be charged and working fine but then the screen goes completely black and I can't turn it on. But then after like a day or so it turns back on and works until it decides to shut off again. And the cycle repeats. I'm scared its going to break for good.

Try:
- 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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still reoccurs, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My ipod touch won't connect when plugged into Bose speaker

Whenever I plug my iPod touch into my Bose speaker system, nothing happens. It doesn't say that there is an error or anything. It starts charging just fine but it won't play when it's plugged in.
I know it's not an issue with the iPod's abililty to play music because headphones and the built in speaker work just fine. Other iPods connect fine to that speaker, just not this one. I'm just not sure why it won't connect to the speaker.

- Does Bose say it is compatble with your 4G iPod and iOS 6.1.6? Sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility
- Did it work before the iOS update?
- Have you went to Bose's support site/contacted them?
Trey:
- Resetting the Bose unit
- 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

You do not merge libraries.
iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

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

My ipod touch won't connect to itunes and its says "unknown device."

My ipod touch is doing what I said already but its doing alot of other things too.. I noticed earlier today that it would bounce back and forth between the old formats of ipod touches when it is the newest generation out and it would go back to the original format. Now it won't even turn on or light up to show the lock screen like it done earlier when it had the brightness off completely and only be seen in a certain spot in external light of my surroundings. When I got home to plug it in, I was going to restart it and wipe it clean but then all of the sudden it wouldn't be read on ITunes or even my computer that would repeat "uknown device." over and over again every time I try to plug it in. I done this to my laptop and PC but I would get the same result every time.
What on earth should I do?? I already done troubleshooting and it didn't do anything at all but only did a small glimce of hope of showing up when i turned off the computer and back on. Shortly after that it would go back to being unreadable. I tried turning it on when I plugged it in too but it still wouldn't do anything but stay black.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! I don't know if I should go to an Apple to to fix it or do any other home methods.

Itunes doesn't open when my ipod touch 4g is connected, consequently it won't charge or sync

itunes doesn't open when my ipod touch 4g is connected, consequently it won't charge or sync

I was surprised too, but I guess nobody gave a cr*p. I figured it out on my own. Basically, sync, then uncheck the box for the option to open iTunes when that iPod is hooked up, sync again, then check the box, and sync one last time. A dialog box pops up that asks if it's OK to install "iTunes Helper". Say "yes". Now it works.

Ipod touch won't connect to Itunes, Only shows its charging. Screen just says connect to itunes. Won't do anything else.
