My ipod Touch (3rd Gen 32 GB) won't connect to itunes/computer

It won't connect to itunes or my computer. when I try to turn it off while it's plugged into the computer, it resets back on.
It is not charging in the computer. I don't know what to do.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 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 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out

my ipod touch 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out.and i cant sync or put any new songs.please help me.

I've gotten the iPod to sync after restoring it and not changing ANY of the music sync settings. I didn't even click "sync music", I just have it on manual and clicked autofill.
After it synced all of the music successfully, I tried to sync a playlist (my recently added), and it's gone bonkers again, it won't sync the playlist's music, or any new music now.

See if placing the iPod in DFU mode will allow a restore.

I have an IPod touch 3rd gen that won't see any wifi connections.

The wifi doesn't work at all. I tried everything besides restoring it to fix the problem and the back where the antenna is has been pushed in. It just loads like it's looking for wifi, but it doesn't find anything. Any ideas how to fix it? :/

Likely that the wifi antenna got damaged or disconected. The iPod has to be fixed.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. May not be wirh it for a 3G.

IPod Touch 4th Gen. Won't Connect to Internet.

My iPod touch 4th Generation will not to my wifi. The network will pop up but when I click try to on it, it just keeps loading. I've restarted the router but I still can't connect. My computer is working fine though. (It's not an apple product though, just the iPod is.)

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod 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 the 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 make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I'm updating my iPod Touch 5th Gen and it says "Connect to iTunes" and I have, but nothing happens.

Okay, so, I unlocked my iPod and it said an update was available, so I tapped install. It wasn't connected to a power source, and I didn't think it'd make any difference if I was or not. So, I tapped it, blah, blah, blah, and then it said to connect to iTunes. So, I did, but my laptop didn't make the noise it usually does when I plug in the USB cable, so I tried it over and over again, but still the same result. I've updated iTunes to the newest version, and nothing happened still. So I decided to just cancel the update. But, now, "Connect to iTunes" will not go away from my screen no matter what I try. I've tried looking for solutions online, but none help. So, if someone could PLEASE help me fix this.

Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

My Ipod touch 4th gen. only shows the "connect to Itunes" screen.

I think this happened after an Ipod update. I can turn it off and on, but the only screen I get is the "connect to Itunes" screen ( usb cord with arrow to itunes logo). I have tried to restart, restore, but nothing works. I have also reinstalled Itunes. The Ipod is not recognized in Itunes, either. Any ideas? Thanks!

My iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB won't connect to Wi-Fi

I've tried resetting the wireless router, resetting my iPod, restoring it even, but to no avail. What can I do?

Thanks for your response. I didn't know about this -- just tried it, and I was able to load a web site- but then immediately the connection dropped again. Tried it several more times, and wasn't able to connect again. About half of my app icons are just white with no images, I wonder if there is a larger problem going on here....

Shut down your device, connect it to your PC or Mac and boot it in DFU mode. In iTunes, select your iPod and press Restore
