My computer won't recognize my new ipod touch

Why won't my computer recognize my new ipod touch?

I have just been through this world of pain. dont bother re-installing itunes, or trawling through device drivers.
Instead, make sure you turn off bluetooth and wireless. Unplug your network cable from the pc (assuming you have a LAN connection).
Try plugging in the touch and it should be recognised straight away.

  • I have an older Ipod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new Ipod Touch and cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?

    I have an older iPod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new iPod Touch and Itunes cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?  It is my understanding that the music cannot be saved onto my new iTunes, b/c I did not have iCloud. I have over 2,000 songs I just cannot part with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help some how!!  THANKS!

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • HT1420 I need to authorize my computer for my daughter's new ipod touch but there is no Store menu or Advanced menu in the new version of iTunes I just downloaded today.  I can't see a way to do it.

    I need to authorize my computer for my daughter's new iPod Touch but in the new version of itunes that just upgraded to day there is no "store" menu or "advanced" menu that I can see and I can't see a way to do it.  So anything she buys with her i.d. won't transfer.  Help!

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • My comp won't recognize my new ipod.

    I just got a new ipod. I had an old one but it broke, now I'm trying to put all the music that was on the old one on the new one but I plug the ipod in and nothing happens. How can I make it recognize the new ipod?

    Did you install the iPod software so you could use it on a Windows computer?
    Download and install the iPod updater to your computer. Restart your computer. Connect the iPod when told, and follow the set up procedure.
    After that, you should see the iPod recognized in iTunes and you can then start transferring songs.

  • ITunes recognizes my new iPod Touch 5G as if it were my iPad Retina

    I bought a newiPod Touch 5g.  I already own a couple older iPod Classics and a realtively new iPad Retina.  I run iTunes on a Windows XP SP3 machine.
    When I plug in the new iPod Touch 5g iTunes recognizes it as my iPad Retina.  I've tried the usual starting and stopping Apple Mobile and Ipod Services with no luck, as well as rebooting, closing and opening iTunes, etc.
    At my wits end!

    Solved one problem:  the iPad was showing up because it had "Sync via WiFi" clicked.  Once I turned that off, that issue was solved.
    Problem is more genertic now.  Windows sees the iPod as a camera only.  Tried all the problem solving steps in other threads with no luck, including rebooting.
    iTunes sees my iPad and an old iPod Classic, but not the new one.
    So is my last resort is to uninstall and reinstall iTunes?
    THanks so much for your help.

  • 3 reasons I won't get the new iPod Touch

    Yes it is thin and appealing but here is why I returned it:
    1- When connected in my car, the new iPod Touch does not charge anymore. It just plays music. My 1st GEN iPod Touch charges and plays music through my factory speakers from the same USB pins.
    2- Not a big fan of ALL the silver shiny back its doomed to be scratched even by just cleaning it with a prefect micro-fiber cloth.
    3-It felt sluggish, I had to press an app or the home button a couple of times to get it to respond.
    I returned it and I am keeping my first GEN 32GB iPod Touch.

    1) The new iPhone and Touch use true USB circuitry - the first Touch and iPhone used FireWire/USB pinouts which is why charging no longer works on some older setups.
    All devices must be using this USB-only setup to charge.
    My Bose SoundDock has the same issue.
    2) Um, the first Touch was also shiny - just not curved. Get a case. Mine is still perfect.
    3) Not sure why other than maybe a bad app. Some apps once removed made my Touch and 3G behave better.
    Bottom line: if you don't like it, don't get/keep it.

  • My iTunes won't recognize my new iPod nano 5th generation

    Alright, my parents got my the new iPod nano for Christmas, and when I connected it to my Windows Vista, to charge and sync, it was charged, but it was not recognized in iTunes. I tried updating and the 5R's but it wouldn't work. iTunes is acting like it doesn't exist. Help?

    I had a similar issue with a XP machine. The Nano charged but I never got the onscreen setup instructions and Itunes did not list the device. I tried a lot of technical stuff with no luck and finally spoke with an Apple Expert.
    Here was the fix for me:
    I downloaded Itunes to another computer (also XP, same firewall, etc). Plugged in the Nano and miraculously I was able to set it up, name the device and also update it with the latest software. When I plugged it back into the PC it recognized it just fine. Must be something flukey with the setup or maybe the update helped fix a few bugs.
    If you have other computers available, try it on them first with latest Itunes version. Hope this helps.
