My Ipod Touch 2G won't connect to My Computer & Itunes but will show that it's charging.
I've had my Ipod Touch 2G for quite a few years and it's always worked fine up until now. About a week or so ago, I wanted to add a song to my Ipod. So I downloaded the song to my ITunes then connected my Ipod in. Only my Ipod didn't show up. It would normally appear in my Itunes and in My Computer but it's not. The screen on my Ipod shows that it's charging, that's it. I've tried practically everything. I uninstalled Itunes then reinstalled it. I restarted my Ipod countless times. I've gone through the steps on iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows but nothing has worked. I know it can't be the USB port because my flashdrive connects into it just fine. It might be my USB cord, but I'm not sure. I plan to buy a new one asap but can anyone else help me? I plan to get an IPhone 5 very soon and hopefully a new laptop but my music on my Ipod isn't in my Itunes library. Do you see my problem? Please help me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
- Try another cable as yu siad
- 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.

I tried to update to newest version via pc. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase so it says, but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes anymore and is stuck on a screen displaying an itunes icon with a usb icon.
oke i'm not done with the whole thing, but i'm doing that right now. Most of the advice I've already read didn't work and at a certain point it said something about shutting down programs then restart. but i notice that there are some pretty important system things in that list and i don't want to mess up my pc :s i'm not a pc genius... and because i'm dutch and my pc-language is in dutch I often have trouble translating and well... i don't always understand the technical stuff in all the articles -_-

My iPod touch 4G 8GB, lets me download apps on iTunes, but when I go to my iPod, and then apps, the entire selection is grey and won't let me click my new apps to add to my iPod. Usually I just restore my ipod and re-download everything, but thats time consuming, and after I unplug my ipod from the cord connected to my computer, I can replug it right after and this will pop up again. I'm getting tired of doing this.
Like I said, it will let me download the apps off iTune, just when I come to my apps page on my ipod, it won't let me add it to my iPod. I can't download it straight from my ipod either, but iTunes doesn't work on my ipod, and when I update my apps, when they're in waiting they never move. What can I do?I would say that you are not connected to the iTunes library you last synced with. You can only sync with one iTunes library. If you connect the iPod to another computer/another iTunes library then you get what you see.
You can only manually manage music and videos among different libraries, not apps. -
What do i do if i forget my passcode to my ipod touch and it wont connect to the computer
whatdo i do if i forget my passcode for my ipod touch and it wont connect to the computer?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
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.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

IPod Touch 4G Won't Connect to Internet but No Problem with Nintendo DSi...
My sons new iPod Touch 4G 32GB won't recognize any networks. We have manually entered the name of our network and entered the password but to no avail.
I was able to get my daughter's new Nintendo DSi online within minutes but the iPod just won't work.
We have updated the firmware on our router, rebooted our router, reset the iPod, read the iPod manual, we've tried EVERYTHING.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your assistance!!- Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

My 8gb Ipod Touch 4g won't connect to my home wifi
I've selected the right network, typed in the right password and it won't connect.
And it's the strongest signal out of all the networks, the network itself is very strong.
This message comes up 'Unable to join network ...'
I know my ipod touch will connect to other wifi networks as I accidently connected to my neighbour's wifi, so I know it works. Obviously I want to use my own wifi network.
Any ideas of how to get it to work?I am having the same problem as BexziJayne and so I followed the same instructions. But it still is doing the same thing.
My IPod will connect easily and quickly to any other WIFi but when I am at home, even though I've typed in the correct password, it basically remains in 'thinking' or 'connecting' mode. Basically, in Settings --> beside WI-Fi, it shows my network name, but if I click on it, you can see in the next screen that it is still thinking about connecting. My IPod even shows 3 blue bars in the upper left hand corner, which indicates that it is connected.
Is there anything else I should be doing?
Thanks -
IPod touch 4 won't connect to wifi anymore
Ok, I am having some problems re-connecting to my wifi at home. I have done all the updates for my ipod touch 4th gen, and I've tried almost everything. I have turned wifi off & on, forgotten the network, reset network settings and STILL nothing is working. When I look at the info on the network I'm trying to connect to, the IP address and some other numbers don't match the info on my phone(which does connect to wifi). The numbers start with 169... Instead of 192..(my home wifi IP). It won't let me change the info either. Please help me out! My games work but I can't get on the internet or the apple stores. And all the other devices in the house connect except my iPod!
The 169... address means that the iPod could not obtain an IP address from the router
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Ipod touch 4G won't connect to iTunes after most recent update
I have recently update itunes and when I plug my 4G iPod touch into my computer nothing happens. It won't connect or sync. I have restarted, re authorized, rebooted my ipod and nothing. It was working just fine before the update half an hour ago. What can I do to get it to sync/connect again WITHOUT having to do something that requires erasing my ipod or itunes. I am very tired of having to do that because of Apple's updates.
See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

SInce it connect to other networks fine I then suspect that ther is a problem with your network. Maybe time for a new router
