What is status of the iPod?
If it recognized the iPod before try:
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.

Itunes wont update ipod touch software 3.1.3

I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch running software version 2.1.2.
I want to buy the new 3.1.3 software via iTunes. When I connect the iPod Touch to my PC and click on the device name in iTunes, I'm given option of updating to version 3.1.3. But when I click "Update" I get an alert window repeating the fact that new software is available, and asking if I want more information from the iTunes Store. When I then click "Learn More" (which is the only option other than "Cancel"), iTunes simply reloads the same status screen.
I've also tried to buy the software update by accessing the iTunes Store via iTunes, but there is no apparent link to do so.
I've also found Apple's link on the web(http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/softwareupdate.html) to buy version 3.0, but clicking the link simply switches me to my iTunes application, and i repeat the same loop from above.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

Well, if your iPod Touch is newer that a first generation device, they you can get iOS 4.2.1. If you have a first generation device, OS v3.1.3 is the newest you can get.
Also, as best as I can remember, iPod Touch os 3.2 was never released. the iPad shipped with OS v3.2 but the iPod Touch went from 3.1.3 to iOS 4.0 (or maybe it was 4.01)

My itunes wont detect ipod touch over wifi

i always use itunes wifi sync for syncing songs and movies into my ipod but yesterday i got the error of bonjour service problem
i had this error many months before but i solved this problem but now my ipod is not getting detected on itunes i tried to delete bonjour from add/remove programs and then re-install itunes but still the problem is not solved ...please help

First, make sure your iPod software is up to date: iPod Updater - Version 1.1.1.
Try resetting it while it's connected to your computer:
1. Lay your iPod down on your computer desk.
2. Connect your iPod to your computer (if it's not already).
3. Use your pointer finger from your left hand, and press down on the Menu button.
4. Wait a few seconds.
5. Use your pointer finger from your other hand, and press down on the Select button.
6. Hold them down together until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't work, try connecting it via a different USB port. If not, try restoring it with the latest iPod Updater.

You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

Cannot connect to iTunes store via iPod Touch...

Whenever I try to go to itunes store thru my ipod I always end up with a box that says "Your request could not be completed". Whether I click on music or videos or podcasts its the same result. But for some reason iTunes U seems to work, but nothing else. What is going on? I tried resetting my settings but still not working. I can access itunes and store thru my pc with no problem but wont work with ipod. I'm using ipod 3g 32gb and its not jailbroken and it has 4.0.2.

1) reboot
2) reset holding home and sleep/wake button for 10-15 seconds
I did both of the above and did a restore from backup but it didn't help.
3) reset networking settings and maybe unplug and replug in your router
I don't think it's a network problem for several reasons. First, I have the exact problem at home and at three WiFi hot spots (McDonald's, the Apple Store, and a shopping mall's network). Second, all other apps that access the Internet are working fine. Third, it's only parts of the App Store and iTunes that don't work. For example, the Update button in the App Store still works but the Featured button still doesn't.
I then went to the Apple Store today and the tech had the exact same problems even after wiping it clean and using their account. They ended up replacing my iPod even though the problem continued on the new one, which hadn't been synced with anything.

YAY! Just checked iTunes via my ipod touch and i've got SOME features back (new releases, genres etc). Still no luck browsing the App Store but i'm guessing this means the problem lays with the stores and not with the ipod itself?
Wish i'd known that before I deleted and reset everything
Yea, I just checked iTunes and some features are working again. Like you, I now I assume the problems are on their end.

My iTunes on my iPod touch is all in Hong Kong dollars where as it should be in English pounds. What should I do?

My iTunes on my iPod touch has changed from pounds to Hong Kong dollars and I want it to change back as I can not buy anything. What do I do to fix it? Please help. Thanks x

Take a look at the troubleshooting steps provided by Apple in this support article:

Hope those help.
Your iPod touch will never appear in Windows Explorer, by the way. It doesn't have the "disk mode" that the older iPods did.

Itunes sees my ipod touch but not my ipod classic; windows 8 sees each of them

I had an ipod classic 80Gb (older device - 4th gen?) as my daily device, a 16gb touch (newer one - 4th I think) as a backup when my ancient PC crashed and died, had to get a new one. This happened 1st of Sept. New PC has windows 8, and I downloaded latest itunes onto it. This latest itunes recognizes my ipod touch, even synced my new library with it (yes, I had to completely redo my playlists etc after the crash as itunes would not recognize the old library I had had on the ipod). But plugging my (older ?) ipod classic into the same usb port, itunes does NOT even recognize that there is an ipod. Here is what happens :
An olive green windowlet comes up (from itunes ?), beeps at me, tells me "there is a problem with this drive please scan the drive now and fix it". I assume it means the drive with the ipod in it because the beep happens right after I plug in the usb cable. I can see this usb port on windows file system, it says "ipod", and can, after some waiting, see the directories... iPod_Control > Music > Fxx etc., under which there appear to be songs ... mp3 and m4a and wav files, but their names are abbreviated with 4 caps, eg. IXOK.mpe, IPDT.mp3 ... but the little earphone symbol shows beside so possibly I could even play one were I to double click it (default player might come up etc.)... have not tried this yet. The default player mentioned would be itunes, but here is a problem : the whole time that my unrecognized-by-itunes ipod is plugged into the usb, itunes is completely hung up... can't even move the window across the screen. Once I pull the thing out of the usb, itunes is fine again.
This ipod that is not recognized has also been behaving as if it needs a new battery ... does not hold a charge more than a couple of hours... this has been the case since shortly before the new computer, however during the time that there is a charge it does play songs, ff, etc just like always. So I am not sure if this has anything to do with somebody's (itunes' ?) perception that "there is a problem with this drive..."...

I ended up Erase and Syncing again just like I was moving to a new iTunes library. The relationship between my iPod Touch and iTunes got messed up. Everything else was fine. Once I did that everything backed up and re-synced fine.
So glad I didn't have to restore. The weird thing that happened was I canceled out from the Erase and Sync both times and iTunes still attempted to do it anyway. Once I let it, it worked fine.

Can I get a refund on a game I purchased and downloaded in Itunes for my Ipod Touch 4g?

Would like to know if I can get a refund for a game purchased and download in Itunes on my Ipod Touch 4g that wasnt what I thought it would be and I dont like the game. Hope Im not stuck with it.

All sales are final. It sounds like you did notdo yourhomewok before yu purchased the app. That is not Apple's fault.

ITunes on my iPod Touch is missing some tabs

Can somebody help me?
I have:
+ iPod Touch 4th Generation 32GB
+ Wi-fi connection
+ iOS5 installed
iTunes on my iPod Touch is missing some tabs. The only tabs that's showing on my iTunes are Podcast, iTunes U, Search and Downloads
Also, whenever I try to load un Podcast tab, it ALWAYS say Your request could not be completed.
Thank you very much!

Where exactly are the tabs that are showing, are they a list at the bottom of the page and next to it is the "More" option, or are you referring to the options on the More tab? You can move these options between the bottom of the page and the More section.
Is that the problem, or is there something else missing? (Perhaps it would have helped if you had mentioned what is missing). If it's the Apps section you are looking for, it has its own App button on the Home screen.
As for the problem with downloading Podcasts, I would try getting them in iTunes on your computer if you cannot download them via the Touch's Wi-Fi.

I have a number of audiobooks purchased through iTunes on my iPod touch. Is there a way to move or download them to the Cloud so that I can access them on other devices?

I have a number of audiobooks purchased through iTunes on my iPod touch. Is there a way to move or download them to the Cloud so that I can access them on other devices?

Thanks - I didn't realize that. I'm also embarrassed to admit that I don't know how to transfer the audio files from my iPod to the iTunes library on my computer. When I select a book from the list on the iPod, the only option I see with the right-facing arrow symbol is "Show in iTunes Store ". I back the iPod up to this computer so I guess those files must be on it somewhere, but all I can recognize in the iTunes folder under " Music" are the music files found in the "iTunes Music" folder. (There are also a ton of files named "iTunes Temp (some #).) The Books list on the computer shows some but not all of the audiobooks - I purchased the rest on a different computer that is now unfortunately dead. I'm guessing now that those didn't transfer over when the new computer was populated from the old one, so the iPod may be the only place where those audiobooks now reside. I hope that made some sense- any additional advice would be appreciated.

Sync problem - earlier today I updated both iTunes and my iPod Touch. Since then, I have tried syncing the two. The iPod Touch claims that there is no music on the iPod, however, when I connect it to my computer it says my full library is on there.

Thanks for any help!

- Have you reset your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to backup your iPod and then restore you iPod from backup via iTunes.

My iTunes says my iPod touch 3rd Gen is up to date with iOs 4.2.1, how do I get the new iOs 5?

My iTunes says my iPod touch 3rd Gen is up to date with iOs 4.2.1, how do I get the new iOs 5?

You must update your iTunes software to 10.5 first then you can upgrade to iOS 5.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
According to Apple the iPod touch 3rd gen can update to iOS 5.
"iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices."

Itunes remote for ipod touch not working staying on passcode

i download the itunes remote fro the ipod that lets u control itunes from the ipod touch, but the ipod touch stay's on the 4 number passcode u enter on itunes

A friend from work came up with this, but I forgot to ask him how he came across it. I think his Ipad was working then stopped and he didn't change anything and figured out the time was off.
If most people are having a time issue it makes sense that mostly ipod touchs' are affected, since the iphone should sync its time via cellular magic and the touchs' don't do this.
I guess the netflix app is doing some sort of authentication and the time being off causes it issues.
Glad someone found this information to be useful, pass it along.
