IPod will not sync/charge/be recognized in iTunes.

I have an iPod Touch 32gb 2nd generation that is not being recognized by my computer at all. I've checked the Device Manager and iTunes looking for it, and it isn't showing up. I'm using Vista and the current version of iTunes.
The screen is recursively showing the Apple logo and the "low battery" sign over and over again as the iPod is attempting to charge - it's been plugged in well over the 10 minutes that it's supposed to charge, and it's appearing not to charge.
I've used two different charge cords, tried to reset the iPod, and restarted the computer to get it to do something. Nothing is happening.
Can you help me?

I did, and I thought that I had tried everything. I actually just looked in my computer again for the device, and for some reason, it is now showing. It's Murphy's Law at work, I swear. My iPod is now charging.
Thank you for your help, even if it ended up not being necessary. It is greatly appreciated.

  • TS3694 My iPad will not sync or be recognized my iTunes anymore, help!!!

    I have not changed anything on my PC and I'm using Windows Vista and I have synced my iPad2 with my PC a bunch of times but all of a sudden it's not recognizing my iPad anymore and won't sync it, it keeps telling me to restore my iPad. I can't restore because I have a drawing app that has over 400 sketches that I have sketched and if I don't back up my iPad before syncing it I will lose all of my sketches. If anyone has any tips, advice, or anyway to help me please let me know.
    Thank you,

    If the issue is not resolved, you may need to uninstall iTunes and all of it's components, and reinstall the latest version as explained in this article:

  • An Album (CD) I have imported in my iTunes, and is on my iPod, will not sync over to my iPad. Why not?

    An Album  (CD) that I have successfully imported into iTunes, and synced with my iPod, will NOT sync with my iPad, even though I have done everything I know how to do so. When viewing the music in "On This iPad" mode, I can actually see the album there, but it is grayed out, and in the left hand column there is a circle with dotted lines, as if it is an incomplete download--which in essence it is. But I have the album (CD) in my iTunes and on my iPod, just like hundreds of other CD's--what's up with this one?
    Another characteristic is that since trying to import this CD into my iPad, I cannot get a successful sync of the iPad now; the syncing process hangs up in "Waiting for changes to be applied" for 3 or 4 minutes, and then it just stops.  No message that "The syncing process is complete. Please eject before disconnecting." The sync just quits on its own, so I take it that the syncing process was unsuccessful.
    Now what?

    Make sure that your music is in the format supported by the iPhone. I use either MP3 or AAC.
    A friend had the same problem a while back. All his music was in the WMA format and is therefore not playable on the iPhone and would not copy. Once he converted his songs to MP3 they copied to his iPhone without problem.

  • 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.

    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

  • 3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics.  Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one.  From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...

    Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
    There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.
