ITouch connection to iTunes

itouch is recognized by itunes as an iphone with error message "An iPhone has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPhone, then try again." Replaced iTouch and re-downloaded iTunes with same results.

pls follow this thread to see if it is the same case as yours

  • My itouch is stuck on "connect to Itunes" screen and wont restore.

    Ok so I tried to do the software update but now when I turn my itouch on I get the connect to itunes screen with the picture of a usb going to itunese logo. When I do connect to itunes it says its in revovery mode, so I have to restore it and delete everything in my Ipod (WHICH ***** A LOT). But when I tried to do that it just says my files are corrupt and it cant be done. So what can I do? I tried to do the DFU thing but it doesnt work. Please help!

    Try on another computer with another USB cable.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Itouch froze on "connect to itunes" screen while updating

    Itouch froze on "connect to itunes" screen while updating from 5 to 5.01, what to do???

    It happen to me several times, I just simply wait until it is out of battery and connect it to my itunes and it will show up in my computer. if the problem cannot be solved in this way, you can connect it to computer after several days of running out of battery and it may work. I know it is a little bit stupid idea,but it did work on my itouch

  • Can a iTouch connect to a local iTunes Server

    Hi All
    Will you be able to connect to a local iTunes Server from your iTouch, or is this a no go?
    More precise - Can a iTouch connect to a LAN Disk that has support for iTunes Service?

  • ITunes opens but gets error message when itouch connected

    I had my iTouch connected to my laptop when I was prompted to upgrade iTunes. Unfortunately, I didn't think about removing the iTouch, and now iTunes will open on my laptop, but the minute I plug in my iTouch, I get a Microsoft error in iTunes and it closes. This also happens now when I connect my iTouch to my PC (both have Windows XP). I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled, but it still occurs. Please help. What could have happened?
    Thanks, Sandy

    Hairpants: I have the exact same problem with my iPhone, but only on certain Apple TV's. YouTube (via Safari) and TED (app) both play at home fine, but I get the "error occurred loading this content" on the ATV at work. Very frustrating.
    Winston: I wouldn't think an app wouldn't "block" AirPlay, but rather wouldn't build support into the app. But I am not an app developer, so I'm just guessing. Example: the new YouTube app only support audio over AirPlay, not video. You don't get an error on your ATV, it just doesn't push the video data.

  • When I turn my itouch I get a reading, "iPod is disabled" connect to iTunes.  How do I fix this?, When I turn my itouch I get a reading, "iPod is disabled" connect to iTunes.  How do I fix this?

    When I turn my iTouch on, I get a reading, "iPod is disabled"... connect to iTunes.  How do I fix this?  I also need to change my passcode.

    What happens when you connect the iPod to your comoputer and try to restore via iTunes?
    You may have to plae the iPod in recovery mode to allow the restore. For recovery mode see:

  • HT1212 for an iTouch 4 my young daughter thinks she remembers her password now but we have already exceeded the attempts and it says "iPod is disabled" connect to iTunes.  Is there any way we can get the device to allow another attempt?

    My 7 year old daughter has an iPod Touch 4 and she used the wrong password too many times.  She thinks she remembers her password now but we have already exceeded the attempts and it says "iPod is disabled" connect to iTunes.  Is there any way we can get the device to allow another attempt?  We are traveling this week so don't have access to the serial number or the computer that was used to originally set up her iTouch.  I don't even know what operating system it's on and can only see the home screen.

    Restoring the iPod will do nothing to his iPhone.
    When you restore it wipes the iPod clean no matter what computer you use.
    The only plus to doing it form your home computer is if you have a backup stored there, then you can restore from the backup once it's done wiping.
    If you are away form your home computer, go ahead and use the computer you have to restore it, then when you get home, you can restore form any backup you may find. You can use this to help you do that when you get there: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

  • ITouch won't connect to itunes, computer or wall charger.

    Hey,
    My 2nd Gen iTouch started playing up yesterday, and wouldnt connect to itunes properly, however after a bit of fiddling and wiggling of the USB cord it was fine.
    Today? Nothing. Won't even connect to my wall charger, the screen won't even light up when i plug it in. Ive tested all of the cords (we have 3) with my sisters Nano in both the computer and the wall charger, and they all work fine.
    Is there something up with the actual connection in my Ipod? What can i do about it?
    thanks guys!

    However it does, as i just discovered, still connect to my alpine sound system in my car... which unfortunately dosn't charge it (it charged my classic, stupid apple... *grumble grumble*). So its not a loose connection in my ipod... any ideas?

  • Hi my 32G itouch stuck on connect to itunes screen

    hi....i am having issues.....a few weeks back my itouch just acted funny and 'died' i thought it was the battery and put on my dock like anyother time....well, after a time on the dock it went to the 'connect to itunes' screen....i cant get it to do anything!
    when i plug it into my laptop with itunes, itunes says it detects an ipod in recovery/restore mode..... so i then have proceeded to restore.....no dice
    i hit restore, it does basically all the ldownloading it needs to to, and just before it appeasrs that its going to finish, it says 'restore failed, due to connection time out"
    i have tried holding it in my hands and resetting it, ive tried the sleep/home button combo and ive also tried 'hold the buttons, then plug into comp thing'.... 
    can anyone help me?  thanks in advance

    This should be easy. Disabling the computer's security software during the download and update usually resolves the time out problem.

  • Can't Connect to iTunes Store on My iTouch.

    Hello Everyone,
    I have iTouch (Purchased on Jul-Aug, 2009).
    I cannot connect to iTunes Store.
    I am Connected with WiFi and am able to access youtube, Safari etc.
    But can't connect to iTunes Store.
    My iOS is up to date. I have checked it by connecting to my iTunes on my Computer.
    I tried resetting the network connection also.
    But of no use.
    Please Help!!!
    Thanks,
    SK

    Hello there SKiOS,
    I was looking into our resources to find information to help the issue you are experiencing and found what I think will be a very helpful article. It's called iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1
    Start at step one, and work your way down if needed.
    Restart iPhone
    To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
    Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
    Regards,
    Sterling
