Itunes doesnt recognize ipod touch anymore

Hey there,
i bought a new ipod touch and everything worked just fine. But after I updated the ipod to 3.0, itunes wont recognize it anymore.
I already tried everything there is (uninstalling itunes etc). The PC recognizes the ipod thought.And i tried it on anothter PC and the ipod is instantly recognized. So i guess it is a PC problem!!
Please HELP!!!

Hey iFloatHigh,
I found two articles that can help you out. The troubleshooting you'll do depends on the type of computer you're trying to sync the iPod to. The first is for Windows, the second for Mac:
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows

iPod not recognized in iTunes and Mac desktop

  • ITunes 8.1 doesnt recognize iPod Touch

    Ever since I upgraded my itunes to 8.1 it doesn't recognize my ipod. I even plugged in my friends ipod touch and it doesn't recognize his either. I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled numerous times. restarted my cpu. shut it off for a day, but it still wont recognize the ipod. any help is much appreciated.

    OK so i am in the exact same boat as you guys.....I also upgraded to the "latest and greatest" and got stuck with a version of iTunes that wont see my iPod Touch...I have tried
    uninstall then reinstall
    disconnecting internet cable before plugging ipod in (saw tht somewhere,,not to much hope)
    Going into msconfig and shutting down all possible conflicts
    Turning off any and all antivirus, internet filtering, and firewall software
    Putting iPod in DFU mode
    Restoring on other computer than connecting
    Reseting ipod
    I am completely at a loss and would love to use my iPod again
    I am really hoping apple will fix this before i give up....

  • Itunes doesnt recognize ipod

    what do you do when itunes wont recognize your ipod touch?

    See
    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
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Itunes doesnt recognize Ipod, please help, getting frustrated!!

    OK today I plugged my ipod into my computer to update it and magically it started updating, i dont know what I did but it updated the stuff that i have added recently. Yesterday it wouldnt update and it hasnt updated for the past 2 weeks. Now after adding a couple of more songs i go to update it again and nothing happens, now what is going on, I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the ipod updater and the itunes updater, the latest software is on my ipod, i reset my ipod because it froze last night, i dont know what to do, I am close to taking it to the apple store but im not sure what they could do about it. Is there something in itunes that I need to click so my ipod will be recognized, this is getting very frustrating, my ipod use to update every single time that I plugged it in, my computer is fairly new but my ipod has worked several times on this computer before, so please anyone HELP ME!!

    i am having the same problem and i am going insane. It i had my ipod since christmas and never had a problem till this week. When i plug it in the ipod displays the "Do not Disconnect" but itunes doesnt pop up or show that the ipod is plugged in. When i try to update it the updater also says that the ipod isnt plugged in. I know have lost all the songs in my ipod but they are still in my itunes but it wont update. Somebody please help, its been about 4 days and im going crazy.

  • ITunes doesnt recognize iPod mini, which only charges

    I just bought my iPod mini 2 days ago and still can't figure this out. Everything seems to be going ok--iTunes is working fine and I can upload music, but it won't transfer into the ipod. I believe in the Source list (in iTunes) there should be an ipod symbol? But there is none. When I connect the ipod to the computer, it only charges. I've tried resetting the ipod, restarting the computer, deleting the software and downloading it again, and nothing. I've tried updating it and it says "Plug in an iPod to update it, which I do, but nothing happens.
    Any help would be a LIFESAVER, as I am extremely frustrated by this and am about ready to punch a wall here.

    Thanks for your advice... The problem is that iPod doesn't appear in iTunes, so I clicked on the link and followed the instructions for putting the iPod into disc mode so I can reset it. I got as far as (see the picture of the checkmark) to the part where it says 'Disconnect iPod from the power adapter and connect it to your computer; the screen on the iPod will change and say "Do not disconnect"' I did that and nothing happened. My iPod still says "OK to disconnect."
    So I haven't the faintest idea what's wrong. I checked the system requirements again, and I believe that my computer meets all of them. Guess I'm at another dead end.
    Should I just try to get all this iPod stuff--the cd, cable, everything, replaced? Hopefully by doing so, that might solve whatever the problem is?

  • My iPod doesn't work. The screen is black but it has a ticking circle in the middle. Its been stuck like that for more than an hour. My iTunes doesnt recognize the iPod Touch and says 'iTunes could nit connect to this iPhone-unknown error

    *last chance and I'm backing away sloooowly*

  • I lost my ipod touch when i moved flats and i just found it in one of the boxes after 4months and now its asking me to "connect to itunes" but itunes doesnt recognize it because i have a passcode and its asking me to enter it. HEEEEELP please.

    I lost my ipod touch when i moved flats and i just found it in one of the boxes after 4months and now its asking me to "connect to itunes" but itunes doesnt recognize it because i have a passcode and its asking me to enter it. HEEEEELP please

    Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If not successful, try DFU mode.

  • TS1369 After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
    Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

    Try force rebooting it, hold down the power and home button for 10 seconds until the apple boot logo comes up. If that doesn't work, try rebooting your computer.
