Ipod will not see Computer

I have a Ipod 5gen and It will not see my computer and my computer will not see the Ipod I have tried different cords. I can't connect to another computer and I can charge my Ipod via a wall charger but not my computer. If anyone can help me please do I've been trying to sync scene November. Thanks

Try this:
plug in your iPod. reset the ipod by holding down the center and menu buttons for ten seconds. as SOON as you see the apple logo, hold down the center and play/pause buttons until you see the connecting symbol.
if itunes doesn't recognize it, try opening up disk utility (if you're on a mac) and restoring the drive. if you're on a PC, just see if you can find the ipod showing up anywhere and reformat it and then restore via itunes.
good luck!

Ipod will not see video's as video

Ok, my ipod will not see the vids on it ad videos, but I can play them from the songs. My issue is if I made itunes update and see them as such them all the music no longer in my itunes folder disapears. I need a way to have my ipod recognise the video's on it as such, without killing my music collection.

It seems like others are having the same problem. Today I noticed my iPod won't play videos anymore either. I'm cruising around these topics to try to determine why. I already used the 'Restore' feature and spent about an hour copying stuff back to the iPod only to find that it still does not work.

My itunes and ipod will not see each other and claim they are on different accounts. I only have one account

I can't sync my ipod anylonger. I have 2 nano's and 1 touch. my itunes does not recognize them anymore. Some of the songs on itunes are not on my ipod, and vice versa. I can download songs from itunes, but it does not allow me to log on anylonger.

I am getting a bit concerned about what is happening in your situation. Yesterday you posted your question in at least two different forums, one of them being here in the Premiere Elements Forum.
Don't Have Serial Number for Premiere, Only Photoshop?
Wherever you posted, the reply was to contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat. It is the only one who can sort out this matter for you.
In the thread cited above I offered to help you with the difficulties that you were having visualizing the Adobe Chat in its web page. I was waiting for your follow up on that in the above thread. Instead, I find your same question in a new Adobe Premiere Elements Forum thread this afternoon with no refer the prior threads or prior recommendations given you.
I will also mention again...when you buy the Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements bundled in one packaging and with installation files for each on the same installation disc, each program has its own serial number. The Photoshop Elements serial number does not work for Premiere Elements and vice versa. The serial numbers are on labels on a box which houses the installation disc envelope(s). So, if you purchased both programs and found the Photoshop Elements serial number, then the Premiere Elements serial number should be in a label right underneath the label with the serial number for Photoshop Elements. I recall writing this in your yesterday's thread on this matter.
The moderator will no doubt be along shortly to close or delete this thread. So, just in case, please bookmark your yesterday's thread cited above so that we can continue this communication which is trying to help you.
Thanks.

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable usin ghte same wall plug in the same wall socket?

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?

Hi there Apples or Pears,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the articles below.

I just got a new computer and my iPOD will not sync to it because of the old computer. How can I get my library to sync on the new computer????

I originally synced my iPOD to my PC in April 2011. I purchased a new computer but my iPOD will not sync to it because it is synced to the old PC. I do not want to erase my iPOD to sync with the new PC because I have loaded alot of music from CD's to it. HELP!

See this article how to transfer your data? How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
As mentioned by vazandrew, music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Try
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
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

My Ipod will not sync to my computer.

My Ipod will not sync to my computer. There have been several pop ups saying that my Ipod Is unable to sync.It also says i don't have the correct disc? I don't know what that means. I have tried unplugging my ipod multiple times to see if it will sync correctly, but It hasn't so far.All i really need is to put music on my ipod. Please help soon!

Not sure what the problem is. I'd try to troubleshoot it. See if it will work with a different USB Transfer cable. See if it will connect to a different PC. See if OTHER iPods will connect to YOUR PC. Usually when something like this happens it's a setting that has been changed, or unfortunately, it can also be a hardware issue (iPod connection port broken, USB Transfer cable broken, etc...) Let us know if any of these things work or if you get it fixed. Good Luck!

Not Charge
- 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.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
