My iPod isnt connecting to iTunes
this is my father's iPod and we have 2 separate computers.
here's what ive done so far.
i tried plugging his ipod into my computer. it didnt show up. my own ipod did show up so it wasnt a physical connection problem. i took the ipod to the apple store where it connected just fine. i also realized i should've tried connecting it to my dad's computer instead of mine. oh well. anyway so they erased the ipod in case that was the reason the connection wasnt showing.
tried plugging it into dad's computer right now. not connecting. it does at least say do not disconnect on the ipod, which it wasnt before the apple store when i was plugging it into my computer (it was indeed getting recharged, but the dont d/c never came). but its not showing up in itunes.
help!
thanks

Are you plugging it into a high powered USB 2.0 port on his PC? Have you worked all of the suggestions in this Apple support document?

Remote App on IPod Touch Connect to ITunes on Win7
Is anyone having a problem making the Remote APP on ipod touch connect to ITunes on Win7 over WiFi? Itunes sees it alright, asks for a Passcode which the ipod supplies, considers it and then says it is invalid. I'm open to suggestions.
Yes it is, I click on the "Remote" button, type the passcode into iTunes, it thinks for a while then comes back and says "invalid passcode". The two are communicating or iTunes wouldn't show the "Remote" button or display the passcode entry window.

When Ipod is connected to Itunes, music that is used to have is listed, but, when disconnected, the ipod appears as if there is no music. Hasn't happened to the movies. Anyone have any ideas?
Since you did not mentioned about sync issues or problem, error messages.
You have to Sync the iTunes library with your iPod.
Refer to this tutorial, on syncing iPod
Have a nice day! -
ipod was disabelled and needed connecting to itunes, with countless attempts nothing happend therefore performed as reset, now instead of turning on and off, ipod displays connect to itunes but is not recognised by computer nor will it connect to itunes, try enabelling for restore but only connec to itunes is shown consistently
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

So my friend had my iPod and he disabled it to where it said "iPod disabled connect to iTunes" but my computer will not connect to iTunes and I really need to know if there's a way I can restore my iPod?
Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -

Ipod screen says Ipod disabled connect to itunes...but when I connect to itunes it says ipod is passcode protected and I must enter passcode on my ipod to continue. But I cant enter the passcode becaue the ipod is disabled. Brothers entered a bunch or wrong passcodes to disable so I couldn't play it.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

Hello Community. My ipod nano 7g has been stolen - is there a possibility to find and block it if the ipod is connected via itunes?
Nope. You can report the theft to the police, and that's about it.

You are very welcome...few users realize that the recovery mode restore may need a few tries to get it to work...so often just add the caveat. There is a difference between parents and their children who have lived with technology all their lives
