Ipod touch wont show up in itunes

i got my dads old ipod touch and i wanted to get rid of everything on it so i restored it. When i plugged it back in the computer to put my music on it it said itunes could not connect to this ipod an unknown error has occurred. I then looked online and people said to try to restore it again. i did and the same thing happened. I then updated itunes, and my ipod is up to date. It still wont work!

  • 8g Second Gen, iPod Touch wont show up on iTunes?

    I use a Mac OSX, Snow Leopard.
    I've tried several different chargers with my iPod, but it wont show up on iTunes. iPhoto will come up and say it's synced, and the iPod itself will show that it is charging. But it wont show up on iTunes so I can listen to my music or add songs. This is random, and has never happened before.
    Any help?

  • Why isn't my iPod Touch (4G) showing up in iTunes or in My Computer??

    Well my iPod Touch (4th Generation) was working great until yesterday. I was trying to update the software (iOS 4.3.3) and after 4 HOURS it tells me that it cannot install the update and now my iPod won't show up in iTunes or My Computer and it is showing the screen it usually does before you set it up. I checked the Device Manager...(Windows XP) and it's showing up as "Apple Mobile Device." I tried searching for hardware changes but nothing is working...I mean I am constantly fixing the iPods of other people but this time I can't even fix mine...oh and as a side note I did restart the computer and then after a while turned it off...I tried restarting my iPod too but to no avail. Please help!!!
    Thanks!!=)

    Put the Touch into recovery mode, then it should be recognized so that you can do a Restore:

  • I have videos on my ipod that wont show up in itunes!!!

    There are two videos on my ipod that I want deleted but they wont show up in itunes. Can anyone help me? They take up too much space on my ipod and I want them gone without having to restore everything.

    Dumb question - How did they get on your iPod if they are not in iTunes? Anyway, you can try swiping across the title and deleting it within the iPod. Then sync. If they appear to return, they are in iTunes someplace (you can search for them).

  • TS2771 ipod touch wont show pic side on

    My ipod touch is showing a padlock sign with a circle ending with an arrow around it on the top right hand side. This is both when my ipod is locked or unlocked.
    My pictures dont adapt to side viewing either when I turn the ipod. Please Help?

    After unlocking the iPod, double click the Home button. Swipe the bottom row to theright past the music controls. Tap the the circular arrow icon with the padlock inside to turn of the screen-rotation lock.
