IPod Touch won't connect to laptop/computer or iTunes

Before anyone says it, yes I have done everything listed on the site for this problem and nothing works.
I have what I believe is a 2nd Gen 16gb iPod Touch and am running Windows Vista. My laptop has 3 separate USB plugs and yet when I plug the iPod USB cable (with iPod attached) into any of the USB plugs nothing happens. It doesn't charge, it doesn't show in iTunes and it doesn't show up at all on my computer. It's not the USB plugs as other USB devices work and its not the USB cable as I used it the night before this problem first occurred (which was yesterday).
I don't know what to do at this point.

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!

What is "everything on this site?" Have you tried a reset? Restore?

  • IPod Touch won't connect to my Computer

    Hey all, Im having some issues connecting my Ipod to my PC,
    My iPod touch is a 2G 8GB with software 3.1.3
    It was 3 days ago when I try to connect it just wont do anything, it was just fine until then, appearently the PC and iTunes dont realize an Ipod is connected to it.  Ive tried restart/restore my Ipod but it wont help. Ive also reinstalled iTunes, still no change.  The one thing ive noticed is, that when I shut my iPod down and connect it, it will turn on by itself, like its supposed to do, but when it turned on it doesnt charge and iTunes shows nothing, hardware manager neither. 
    I have tried it with different cables and computers, but it gives me the same result.
    The only way I can charge it is with an adapter, which surprisely works fine.
    I appreciate that if somebody could help me out.

  • 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.

  • Movies downloaded to iPod touch won't play on the computer when transferred over.

    The movies I bought from an iPod touch , and then transferred to my computer using iTunes will not play. They give error code 2401 on QuickTime an say stuff like invalid codec, invalid sample description, etc. I'm very upset because I paid for these movies and I should be able to watch them! I've tried recouping them to my computer but nothing so far has worked. Pleeeease help me.

    Have you converted the movie file to the correct Extention to play on the PC?
    Go to the info panel of the file in iTunes and make sure it ends in ".mov", ".m4v", or ".mp4" those are playable in QuickTime Player.

  • I have an ipod touch 2 and rebuilt my laptop.  Reinstalled ITUNES and can't find my applications on ITunes after login.  I tried to activate Itunes again but it didn't.  How can I get my applications to display on ITUNEs?

    It sounds like you essentially have a new computer and unless you restored from a backup your iTunes library would be empty.  You can transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    SInce you changed syncing computers. after you move the stuff you need to restore the iPod to factory defaults and sync the stuff back to your iPod.  If you had the iPod backup file you could restore from backup.
    If you have non-iTunes pruchases you can copy them to your computer by using one of the third-party programs discussed in this previous discussion:

  • My sister and I each have an ipod touch. We use the same computer and itunes but each have our own apple id. Everytime I want to update an app on my ipod it asks for my sisters apple id login!? help!

    My sister and I each have an ipod touch. We use the same computer and itunes but each have our own apple id. Everytime I want to update an app on my ipod it asks for my sisters apple id login!? help!

    When it asks for another ID on an App Update, it means that the application was purchased under your sister's ID but downloaded to your device from the iTunes library that you share. Even though you both have your own Apple IDs, since you are syncing on the same computer, you are using the same iTunes library.
    Whoever purchased the app is forever tied to it, and you can only have one version of a particular app in a single library....
    Does that make sense?

  • 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 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.

  • 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?

    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - 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:

    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • IPod Touch won't connect or charge AT ALL.

    I can't connect my iPod touch to ANY computer AT ALL. This includes Windows Xp, Vista and an iMac with Leopard. They are all running iTunes 7.6.2. I have tried all protocols I've come by so far none have worked. The iPod simply won't connect.
    The iPod turns on when it is plugged in but after the home screen comes up nothing happens. No charging, syncing or any type of connection. iTunes and the OS don't acknowledge any type of USB device, even in the Device Manager. Apparently it tries since it powers up when plugged in but thats the extent of the connection. I haven't found any other persons with a scenario like this, please help.

    I know you've tried it with other computers, but have you tried it with a different cable? Also have you tried resetting the Touch while it is connected? (Hold down the sleep and go buttons, ignore the power off screen and let go when you see the Apple logo).
    If you get the same results after trying this you need to either make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store or send it in for service: http://www.apple.com/support/oss/
