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?

My ipod Touch (3rd Gen 32 GB) won't connect to itunes/computer

It won't connect to itunes or my computer. when I try to turn it off while it's plugged into the computer, it resets back on.
It is not charging in the computer. I don't know what to do.

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

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod won't connect to iTunes/Computer

Soo I plug my iPod into the cord which is plugged into the computer, the computer makes the little beep that lets me know its detected a device and... Nothing. It doesn't show up in iTunes. It doesn't show the little charging symbol on the iPod. Nothing.
I've tried two different cords and three different USB ports. The annoying thing is it worked two days ago, and had been working prior to that for several months. Nothing has happened to the iPod or computer that would cause damage. They've both literally been sitting in this room for two days. I can plug my iPod into the wall charger and it will charge just fine. It can connect to the internet, etc. But it won't connect itself to iTunes via the USB cable... and I'm unsure of what to do next. I've googled around and checked the forums but I haven't found anything that works.
Assistance :3
Also, I can't download iOS 6.1.2, it just fails everytime after the verification process. I've never failed verification before so I'm not sure if this is a widespread issue or just me... The error I guess you would call it says "Software Update is not available at this time. Try again later."

HT201263 iTouch won't connect to iTunes; recovery mode won't work

My iTouch (fourth generation) was disabled after the incorrect password was input too many times. Now, it says that it needs to connect to iTunes, but when I try to connect it, it tells me to put in the password, which I obviously cannot do because the iTouch is disabled. I tried recovery mode, but it hasn't worked after repeated attempts. What do I do?

Try DFU mode and then restore

My Ipod touch won't connect to iTunes/Computer!

This problem has being going on for a month or so now! Firstly, iTunes kept freezing whenever I connected my iPod to my computer which became quite annoying. And recently it's just stopped connecting altogether, no beeping noise, no charging, no usb driver listed, no freezing- nothing. However, whenever I turn my iPod off and connect it, my iPod turns on? I've tried reinstalling iTunes many times, as well as all the other software but nothing seems to work. I've also tried reinstalling the usb driver, which did eventually work but then caused my iTunes to freeze. I then disconnected my iPod to find that it wouldn't connect again, and the usb doesn't show up still. My computer is running on Windows Vista, and my iPod is an iPod touch 4th gen. Can anyone help me!? I really don't want to reset my iPod as I'd loose everything on it and I've owned it for quite a few years

Iphone 3g won't connect to itunes/computer

Recently I bought my friends Iphone which had 2.2 FW on it.
When I took it home I couldn't get it to charge via my ipod cord or acknowledge that it was connected to the computer in anyway. The odd catch is that it will charge via the same cord plugged into the wall adapter AND, if the iphone is off I can still do things like hold the home button in and then connect the ipod cord which is hooked up to my computer and have the phone turn on. This isn't making much sense to me. I reset the phone to factory defaults from within the phone, and am now in my current situation. I am stuck at my activation screen, I can't connect to itunes because the iphone doesnt show up, no smaller programs like ziphone detect my phone, just a few minutes ago in the car my friend took his iPhone and connected it to the deck in the car via the usb 2.0 hook up and his phone showed that it was charging, tried the same thing with mine, nada. What can I do? Does anyone have any insight into the issue? hardware? software? anything will help. thanks.

try another USB port on your computer. If it is a PC there also exist sometimes driver problems with some OS and motherboard combinations.

Ipod touch won't connect to Itunes, Only shows its charging. Screen just says connect to itunes. Won't do anything else.

Ipod touch G4. Daughter turned it off and restarted it and now it just says connect to itunes. When I do it isn't recognized but shows its charging. I've tried different usb cords and a different computer, also tried restarting the Apple Mobile device as it tells me in help forum. Any help is appreciated.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Hi kirsten,
If your iPod is "********", do we want to bother to fix the problem?
Assuming it isn't "********", have you tried the 5 R's?

IPod Touch 4th Gen won't connect to my computer, charge or connect to iTunes.

Okay, here is the issue. My computer runs Windows Vista. Ever since I have updated iTunes to 11.0.2, my iPod touch hasn't been able to connect to the computer at all. I don't know if there is any correlation between the update and my issue, but I need someone to be the judge of that. Apple has suggested that you uninstall iTunes, QuickTime, etc. restart the computer and then reinstall them. So I have done that multiple times, and my iPod still won't connect to the computer. My sister's iPod touch, 4th gen just like mine won't connect to iTunes or the computer either. I have spent a lot of time looking up possible solutions, but none of them work at all. I've done everything Apple suggests in troubleshooting and such, but nothing works. I was hoping someone else might be able to give me a solution. One that hopefully does not involve uninstalling and reinstalling Apples programs, which I have done several times.
I have tried all accessable USB ports on my computer, and I have switched between the four different USB cords that we have, so this isn't the issue. My PS Vita will connect to the computer with no issue at all, so it isn't the USB ports either. I can plug my iPod Touch into my PS3 and it will charge the instant I plug either end of the cable in, the same for my sister's. I can plug it into the dock on my mother's alarm clock and it will charge just fine. I'm open to any suggestion, so please help me out here.

So you tried everything here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Try connecting to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

IPod touch won't connect to iTunes after update

I updated my iPod touch but now it won't connect to iTunes, all I get is the connect to iTunes screen. I followed all the directions for the Apple support including shuting down my iPod, uninstalling all Apple programs from my computer, restarting my computer and reinstalling iTunes, as well as "using Msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows 7," but nothing has worked. Is there anything else I can do?

This is a step they should make MUCH easier to find for Ipod users. Here's the link: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538?viewlocale=en_US
I don't know how directive the link is, but the short and easy of it is this:
1. Go to your device manager
2. Click 'View' and select Devices By Connection
3. Make sure ACPI x64 (or 32) - based PC is expanded (Windows 7 users)
4. Scroll down until you see 'USB Composite Device'
- you should see Apple Mobile Device (recovery mode) in there or something similar
5. Right click the composite device and choose Update Driver Software
6. DO NOT automatically install software; choose 'browse my computer' instead
7. Choose to pick from a list of devices on your pc
8. Click "Have Disk" and browse your computer to this address:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
9. Double click the usbaapl.inf file (it may have 64 next to it)
10. Click OK and continue the install process, including the 'Restore step when iTunes opens...AND THAT'S IT!!
Your iTunes will take all the appropriate steps (5-10 minutes) to restore your iPod. If I missed anything let me know. Otherwise, pass this on to your friends as Apple has made it inherently difficult to hunt down. Good luck!!

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

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