Your Touch is working correctly. Currently, without unsupported third party hacks, the Touch has NO disc mode. It will only show up in iTunes.
how do i put programes and games in my ipod touch
Right now, you don't. The SDK is scheduled to be released in Feburary. Then developers will be able to write programs that will be loadable.

IPOD TOUCH IS NOT RECOGNIZED IN ITUNES OR ON MY COMPUTER

I have a nano, a shuffle, and an I touch. My nano and shuffle sync fine but my I Touch is not recognized by either Itunes or my computer and the message I get says to go to my nearest Apple Store. The nearest store is 200 miles away from me. I'm pretty sure my warranty has expired.
I have charged it fully although it was not charged when I started trying to sync. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I just installed the latest iTunes. It found my 64GB touch 3G no problem. An hour later, it no longer can recognize it (iTunes takes forever to load). This happ4ned 2 weeks ago, with the last iTunes upgrade. I had to restore it, losing everything on it. I won't do that again. I did not hing to my computer/itouch between working an hour ago and now. My iTouch is less than a year old. There is no excuse for it to be broken. There are no Apple stores by me, either. There is no reason for the iTouch to stop being recognized randomly.

1st Generation iPod Touch No Longer Recognized by Windows 7 PC

I have a 1st generation iPod Touch (no camera) that can no longer connect to my Windows 7 pc. Plugging in the iPod via USB does not trigger any sort of dialog box in Windows and it doesn't trigger a message saying a device has been connected; the iPod does not show up in either iTunes, Computer, Device Manager or Devices and Printers, either as an Apple mobile device or an unrecognized device, and does not charge when connected to USB (though the wall-charger still works). As far as my computer is concerned this iPod does not exist. I had successfully synced this iPod as recently as one week ago and am ready to pitch the thing in the garbage if I can't find a solution.
I have the latest version of iTunes as well as the most up-to-date Windows updates. I have already followed all the steps listed here (iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows) multiple times with no success.
I also have tried following the instructions listed here (Re: For those Windows users who suddenly cannot see their device in iTunes. Here's a solution that has worked.) but this also hasn't worked since the iPod isn't recognized in the Device Manager and I am not given the option of updating the drivers, manually or otherwise.
I have uninstalled/re-installed iTunes and all related Apple services multiple times. The Apple Mobile Device Service is functioning normally. iTunes diagnostics indicate that there is no device connected no matter what I do. I have reinstalled my Windows USB drivers and changed the settings on the USB Root Hub in the Windows Device Manager to disable power saving options.
I have tried connecting the device to another PC which detects and syncs another apple device (iPhone 5) with no issues, and had the exact same result: the computer doesn't even recognize an iPod is connected.
I can't update the Apple Mobile Device Drivers because the device is not recognized by my machine in any way.
I even completely reset my iPod and that just left me with a unactivated iPod that still isn't detected.
I am really unbelievably fed-up with the useless "try checking your USB cable"-style advice that people seem to offer on this forum. If anybody has dealt with this issue and has any serious advice other than "re-install iTunes," it would be much appreciated.

You said "I am really unbelievably fed-up with the useless "try checking your USB cable"-style"
- Did you try another cable?
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
Try on another computer

Using my USB, my ipod touch is not recognized in windows vista or i tunes. It wont even charge. If I connect it to windows xp, it immediately charges up and it recognized. Any help would be appreciated.

Using my USB, my ipod touch 2 is not recognized in Windows Vista or i tunes. If I connect it to my wifes Xp, ( where it was before) , it still charges up ( i tunes has been uninstalled. Any help would be appreciated. I have reinstalled itunes.

IPod Touch is not recognized by Windows Computer or iTunes

All the USB ports are fine and the cable work perfectly. When I plug in my Ipod it shows that its charging but the computers dont do anything.
I checked devices and even fiddled with some third party softwares that might be blocking it but nothing is working.
my Ipod, Itunes, computer, and antivirus software is all up to date. I tried reseting my Ipod and computer and reinstalling Itunes.
I also uninstalled itunes removed all components and reinstalled still not recognized.
I tried a second computer and have the same issue.
Any Suggestions what to try next?

Try a different charging/docking cable. If that does not work then you may have a problem with the docking connector in the iPod itself...

My 4th Generation iPod Touch is not recognized by my ZS-S4iP Boombox? Anyone had this problem?

I received a ZS-S4iP Boombox as a gift. It would not recognize my iPod Touch 4th Generation, so I took it back to the store for and exchange. But the new one is not recognizing it either. It will play two different Nano gererations. Any suggestions?

Hi Regina,
Welcome to Sony Community!
Make sure that iPod Touch 4th generation is updated to the latest software version. Since, other two Nano generation iPods are working fine with the Boombox, there seems no issue with it. The issue may be with iPod Touch 4th generation.
Thank you for your post.

IPod Touch 3G not recognized by Windows 7 (64 bit)

Like others in this forum, I can't get iTunes 9 to recognize my iTouch (3G). I am using Windows 7 (64 bit) on a brand new Dell computer. I'm not getting any error messages and my computer itself recognizes the iTouch just fine - as a CAMERA! Aside from rebooting both my machine and iTouch several times, I have also tried the suggestions included in other posts, including (1) restarting the Apple Mobile Device service, (2) a clean install of iTunes, (3) disabling all startup programs to identify any incompatibilities (there weren't any), and (4) verifying that I had the correct iPod drivers installed (I did). None of these things worked; however, I will add that I was not able to completely get rid of the AMD when I did the clean install. I un-installed everything in the order prescribed by Apple through the Control Panel, but that pesky AMD wouldn't go away. I tried rebooting and it still wouldn't go away. I don't know if getting rid of AMD would solve the underlying problem (i.e., that I can't get iTunes to recognize my iTouch), so I don't want to get too distracted by that. However, I'm getting desperate after spending HOURS on this and would grealy appreciate help. Note also that my iPod nano works just fine and is recognized by iTunes without a problem.

I'm having the same kind of problem and haved tried pretty much everything my self. We have two computers. One with Vista and the other with XP pro. We have three iPods.
80g video, Touch first generation and touch second generation. Everything works fine with the first two, but windows cannot find the driver for the 2nd generation touch. Altough all drivers seem to be installed. The problem started with the Vista computer. I've uninstalled and re-installed everything and nothing works. Took everything on the XP computer, and the 2nd generation touch is still not recognized.
Of course I-tunes is up to date and all drivers as well.

My 4th gen ipod touch and my 6th gen ipod touch is not recognized by windows 8 or itunes

Help! Both of my ipods are refusing to be recognized by both windows 8 and itunes. I've tried many different things from redownloading itunes, plugging the cables into different usb ports, using different cables, etc. I'm upset because I have no other ipods availabe and I really cannot afford to buy another one.

Hello Caitlin,
I'd suggest taking a look through the following article for a whole host of useful troubleshooting steps that can help get your iPods to reappear in iTunes.

IPad 1 disabled, not recognized when plugged in to any computer

I have an iPad 1 and I've been trying to get this fixed for about 2 days. It gives this message "iPad is disabled, try again in 23 million minutes" and whenever i plug it in to any computer it says "USB device not recognized". I also tried DFU mode and it still does it. Is there ANY way to restore the iPad ON the device. Or is there any way to get it fixed?

No, check this:
Media you've bought from the iTunes Store or songs you've imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default. They won't be deleted by removing iTunes. Although it's highly unlikely that you'll lose any of your iTunes Library when following the steps below, first make sure that your iTunes library is backed up. See iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive for more information.

TS1363 I'm trying to update to newest software, but during proccess, an error accured, now the iphone 4s wont do anything, it only shows plug into itunes. when i do, the device is not recognized by windows or itunes. any ideas?

im trying to update to newest ios version. but during the proccess, an unknown error accured, now the device wont do anything, just shows the plug into itunes screen. the device does not show in windows or itunes. the iphone wont do anything. i tried restarting, it shuts off and back on, but only shows plug into itunes thing. any ideas?

From my experience, the only way you're gonna get a PC afflicted with this disease to work with a 5th gen nano is to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes. Those affected have been exhausted by this ongoing issue. To update or not to update? And I always say never update unless you have to, and turn off all that auto update mess!
I have two core2duo lappies running 32b vista. My workflow dictates 32b fyi. One is acer aspire running itunes v 11.1 (.0.126), 5th gen nano was originally formatted and works just fine on this machine to this day. My other is the bigger badder lenovo thinkpad and the 5th gen will NOT mount using any version of itunes past 11.0 (.1.12) Windows mounts it just fine. itunes is not having it. no shirt no shoes no service.
I have both a 4th and 5th gen nano. The 4th gen works great on both machines, I even successfully tested it with the latest version (11.1.5) before subsequent deletion on the thinkpad! Weird huh? I think my next experiment might be to restore my 5th gen w/ a Mac and theeeeen plug it into PC itunez.
I'm at a loss on the thinkpad. Scanned for intruders. Cut the Lenovo bloat. Executed system and reg maintenance. Took down msconfig to a safe mode + itunes level to attempt to resolve possible sw conflicts but to no avail. NO NO NO. Every single dang port, every time on the thinkpad. Has me feeling like others might get the same treatment by the next itunes update. :|
So in summary for me:
5th gen nano and thinkpad are a NoGo on 11.1^ last working version for me = 11.0.1
5th gen nano is working on an acer aspire 11.1.0 but no way in the world am I updating
4th gen nano is kicking 5th gen nano's @zz so what would make me want to buy a new ipod?
