My ipod touch 3g will not run or connect to itunes

My iPod shows the Apple logo when I reboot it, and then shows a connect to iTunes screen.  However, it is not recognized as a valid USB device by my PC.  I've got another iPod Touch that works just fine on the same computer.

try restarting it by holding down the home and hold button at the same time untill the screen goes black then press the home button untill the apple logo shows up (you will not loose any data)

  • HT201210 Tried to reset iPod Touch.  Will not go past Connect to iTunes screen.  Connection is being made because I can see my apps in iTunes.

    In order to get rid of frozen screen, I did a reset from the utilities app.  Now I can not get past the "Connect to iTunes" screen.  I can see connection in iTunes and when I sync or restore, screen changes to "Connected to iTunes."  But when sync is over, I am still stuck on "Connect to iTunes" with no way to proceed.  I have tried different USB ports.  All updates are current. How do I get past this screen?

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Help!  My iPod touch 2G will not boot up!

    My iPod touch 2G will not boot.
    Heres the specs of the problem:
    It turns on with an Apple logo with a spinning wheel under it.
    I have tried editing the hosts file with the Apple server codes.
    I have tried restoring 16 times. (I log what I do on it)
    The iPod has never been jailbroken.
    It is an MC model.
    It is 8GB.
    Its formated for Windows. (Windows 7)
    iTunes 10.4
    I have tried "The Tiny Umbrella TSS Server with SHSH blobs for iOS 4.1"
    I tried "RecBoot" no luck.
    My Mom will kill me if I can't fix this.  I am going on a 9 hour vacation ride with 7 year old brothers that get really cranky.  I leave August 6th, 2011.  So I need to have it fixed before then. So i really, really, really need help!

    Try uninstalling iTunes and installing the 10.4 iTunes that came out a few days ago.  Click start, run and paste "%Userprofile%\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates" without quotes.  Find iPod2,1_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw and delete it.  Try restoring again and Tiny Umbrella is only for iPhones.  Do not use it on iPod Touch or various errors appear.  iPod Touches can downgrade at any time (idk about iOS 5).  If it doesn't work, reply.  :)

  • I have an iPod touch that will not turn on.

    Hello forums! I have an iPod touch that will not turn on. I have tried everything I can to turn it back on, but I just cant find the right thing. I dont know if it is in need of a new digitizer, or the battery is dead, but I would really appreciate some help. It is an iPod touch 3rd generation.

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - 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.

  • My ipod touch 4g will not connect to my computer. Its not even in the device manager

    My ipod touch 4g will not connect to my computer. Not to charge or connect to itunes. My usb ports work fine with everything else. I went and bought a new wall charger that came with a synce cord and it works fine, as a wall charger with wont work with my computer. Ive done the whole rebooting, re downloading itunes, redownloading apple software, the whole 9 yards.
    What exactly happens when I plug my ipod touch 4g up if it turns on like it suppose to but instead of going to the home screeen with the little lighting bult in the battery is just acts like its not even plugged in. It just goes to connect to itunes screen.
    I sent it to apple and they told me that whatever was wrong with it wasnt under warrenty but didnt tell me what it was. Ugh! It doesnt have water damage, I checked the indicators. So what do I do now? I would rather not go and get it fixed and spend 100 dollars. I would rather try and figure it out myself. Help please!

    From what Apple said it appears you have a hardware problem. I would either pay to get it fixed or make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and discus it with them.

    Did you go through [Unable to update or restore|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808]?
    Be sure you turn off all antivirus, spyware, zone alarm, firewall etc. And connect using a different USB hub.
    Hope that helps.

  • IPod Touch 4gen will not connect to wifi no matter what

    My white 8gb iPod Touch 4gen will not connect to wifi, I have reset the network and the entire iPod. When I got it for Christmas 2011 it worked perfectly for a few months then all of a sudden it stopped connecting, every connection I try to connect it to says the same thing; unable to join network... I am getting fed up, my first gen iPod Touch will connect to the wifi no problem, but the thing is it keeps crashing. I can't use it for more than a couple of minutes and it goes back to the home screen. If anyone could help, it is greatly appreciated!

    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 the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My iPod Touch 5 Will Not Turn On... At All.

    My iPod touch 5 will not turn on.
    It's not that it's dead, nor that I turned it off.
    I left it on, wrapped my earbuds around it, plunged it into my backpack and headed out... In the rain.
    I had an otterbox case on it too.
    I come home, leave it to chill out before using it for about 20 minutes because it's also very cold outside. (15-20 degrees fahrenheit)
    After 20 minutes pass, I need it for something. I try to turn it on, and nothing pops up.
    No apple logo.
    No empty battery photo.
    Nothing.
    I tried plugging it in in a variety of different wall plugs and computers.
    Nothing.
    iTunes doesn't open, iPhoto doesn't, nothing.
    I don't want to reset it completely because I would lose over 1,000 photographs and memories.
    I don't even know HOW I would go about resetting it considering it's not working.
    So much for a "protective" case.
    It was in a backpack, an otterbox case, and I was outside for about 2 minutes in the rain. I'm not sure what to do.

    Plave it is a sealed container with uncooked rice for a couple of days. Then:

  • I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library, but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself? any help?

    I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library,
    but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself?
    any help?

    Are you positive these podcasts are configured to sync to your iPod Touch? Have you double checked the configuration for podcasts from under the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes? 
    To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on its name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab.  Locate the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can choose how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.
