My ipod touch 2nd gen wont connect to itunes

My daughter's ipod touch (2nd generation) is not being recognized by itunes.... The cords are fine (they recoginize my iphone) but we can sync her ipod to her library because of this. I have tried updating itunes, turning the ipod off and back on, reseting the ipod settings, and restarting the computer. SO FRUSTRATED!

Try here:

Do you have another computer to try?
Does the iPod charge?
If you look at the dock connector in the iPod does anything look abnormal like bent contacts? I suspect an iPod problem.

  • My ipod touch 2nd gen wont connect to the internet. I don't understand how to find out the WEP or anything.

    I've had my ipod touch for a while now but I cannot conect to the internet anywhere except the apple shop. I've been in there and they said it was fine as it connected to their open wi-fi without a problem. I have access at home to wi-fi and I can also get BTopenzone on my laptop. I don't understand the settings things so I need help please  

    Try the following:
    - Reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  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.
    -Power off and thn back on the router

  • My Unjailbroken ipod touch first gen wont connect to Itunes or wifi

    I bought this first generation ipod touch from a pawn shop, It was jailbroken, then I synced it to my comp (windows xp) and updated the software( but it only updated it to version 1.1.5 ), and it reset everything and un jail broke it, And now when I connect my ipod to my computer, It pops up for a second before it disapears in itunes, and will connect to wifi, but when I open safari on my ipod touch it says " Safari cant open the page because it cant find the server".
    Ive tried everything from uninstalling itunes, bonjour, quicktime, apple device services etc an reinstalling it, resetting my ipod, trying different usb ports, opening device services and right clicking an restarting apple ipod device etc. everryythinggg...
    Nothing seems to work, Did I break the ipod by syncing it to my comp and Un jailbreaking it?
    thanks

    Others have reported problems attempting to "unjailbreak" an iPad/iPod.  Unless you can get help from the jailbreaker, there is nothing that we can do for you as we do not know the characteristics of your device.  Sorry.

    Pretty sure there never was iTunes 4.2.1 and if there was, it did not work with the iPod touch (any version).
    Do you mean iOS 4.2.1?
    new version doesn't sync with my ipod :/
    What does/doesn't happen?

  • My ipod touch 5th gen wont connect to updated itunes but is recognized on my computer, help!

    Just brought a new ipod touch 5th gen, and when i connect it with my cable on my windows 8 hp laptop it will recognise it on my laptop in my computer but it won't connect with itunes. I have the latest version of itunes, and have tried reinstalling it three times, along with following the apple help sections but nothing has worked. It connects on other mac, and pc's itunes however and believe it is a problem with windows 8. Anyone having this problem or know how to help? thanks

    If you mean playing music from your computer's speakers that that work if you computer can act as a bluetooth receiver (like BT speakers and headphones) since the iPod can transmit music using the A2DP BT profile.
    On the iPod go to Settings>General>Reset> Reset Network Settings and try again. You will also have to rejoin all wifi networks

  • Ipod touch 2nd gen not connecting to mail now-any anwers?

    My iPod Touch 2nd Generation can no longer connect to my email (formerly MobileMe account). I am running iOS 4.2.1
    Why can I not suddenly connect to my email? It asks me to create account with MobileMe, which I already have. Every time
    I try to put in my Apple ID and password (long in use, NOT new), it says it already exists (no fooling?). It becomes a big endless
    loop and no matter how many times I repeat the activity, same answer. I even restarted the iPod, to no avail. Any answers?
    thank you for your help.

    MobileMe has been discontinued and replaced by iClould. Did you transition to iCloud? However, the 2G iPod is no supported by iCloud.

  • I have a brand new ipod touch and it wont connect to itunes or my computer!!??

    I have a brand new ipod touch however when I connect it to my computer, itunes does not recognise it and neither does my computer. The drivers have downloaded and are showing working. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing itunes as discussed in support centre however nothing seems to work. The ipod itself just has the connect to the computer on the screen, is fully charged and when plugged in a little lock sign comes up for a second or two above the itunes icon!!! Let me know if you have any further suggestions please.

    Thanx for you suggestions, I used my old xp laptop...update software and my ipod connected however the memory is not large enough to hold my itunes library so I could see it was not the cable or the ipod at fault.
    I have tried to connect to my vista laptop again and have tried all of the suggestions in troubleshooting again...I have even upgraded to windows 7 to see if that cleared the problem....and....my computer has located my ipod but is only recognising it as a digital camera so back to the drawing board...
    Please have you any other suggestions???
