My iPod Touch 4g not visible in Windows or iTunes

My iPod Touch 4th generation is not visible in Windows or iTunes. It also doesn't seem to want to charge. I've tried the Troubleshooting Assistant but nothing happened. Any ideas? It was working fine last night, and this morning started acting wonky.

  • IPod Touch 1g not recognized in Windows and iTunes

    Hi all
    i have a old iPod Touch 1g at home. the problem is that the device is death. I can hold Home and Pwr button for a long time but nothing happens.
    Even when i connect it to a Pc running XP, Windows 7 or a Mac the screen stays black and no error from windows that drivers are being installed or the "USB-sound".
    I looked already in the FAQ and on Google but all the solutions don't work for me.
    In short words, i have a death iPod and i have no clue how to fix that or even if its possible to fix it.
    Can someone give se some alternative solutions?
    Regards
    Max

    would there be the possibility to send the ipod to apple that they can reinstall the software?
    i would take it to the nearest Apple store, especially if it would still be under warranty.
    how much would that cost?
    if it were still under warranty, they might replace it on the spot at the Apple store.
    if you connect your "new" iPod to iTunes, you will be given the option to "restore" your latest backup from the old to the new device.

    Your Touch is working correctly. Currently, without unsupported third party hacks, the Touch has NO disc mode. It will only show up in iTunes.
    how do i put programes and games in my ipod touch
    Right now, you don't. The SDK is scheduled to be released in Feburary. Then developers will be able to write programs that will be loadable.

  • TS1496 My ipod touch will not download lates version of itunes.  Our pc is windows and we also have a shuffle and it works fine.

    My ipod touch will not download latest version of itunes 11.  Our pc is windows.
    Itunes cannot find the device to sync because it all relates back to not being able to downloand the latest version of itunes. 
    We also have a shuffle and it works fine.  We can use 2 devices for one Itunes account.
    My daughter is 11 and she has never downloaded her ipod from our pc because of the download problem. 

    iTunes 11 is for computers only, the built-in apps on an iPod (and iPad and iPhone) are part of iOS (i.e. its operating system) on them and can only be updated by updating the whole iOS version. Do you have iTunes 11 installed on your PC ? On iTunes on a PC I think that you can check if updates are available to it via the iTunes 'Help' menu, or you can download the current version of iTunes from here and then run/install it : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If the iPod has never been synced to that computer then (when you've got iTunes on it working) you may find this page for syncing to a new computer useful as well : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • Ipod Touch is'nt recognized in Windows or Itunes

    Hello, my Problem is that my Ipod Touch isn't Recognized in Windows or Itunes on my PC, on a Friends PC it works fine, so u guess the Ipod is ok..
    1. I tried everything Restarted Apple Mobile Device Service and reinstalled
    2. Reinstalled Itunes
    3. Reinstalled Windows
    4. Other USB Ports
    5. Recovery Mode (In Recovery Mode the Ipod is recognized but can't Restore because bevore it Restores completly it gets automaticly disconnected and does'nt connect again)
    I Restored my Ipod at the PC from my Friend, but it still doesn't work here.
    The USB Ports also can't be the Problem, since all other USB Devices work fine. And the Ipod Touch worked fine as well till a few Days ago.
    Every Help is appreciated.

    Hi,
    What's the make and model of the PC? Is it a desktop or laptop PC?
    Make sure the iPod touch is directly connected to a high-speed USB2 port on the PC. The tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286 will help rule out USB connection issues.
    What security software is running on the PC?
    If you haven't already, try to reconfigure, update, or uninstall the security software, as suggested here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125.
    Also, this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1852 provides general tips that will resolve most issues that prevent the iPhone from being recognized by iTunes.

  • My ipod touch does not show up in my itunes source list, and shows up as a digital camera in "My Computer". Any ideas?

    My ipod touch does not show up in my itunes source list, and shows up as a digital camera in "My Computer". Any ideas?

    Start here.  Is ti normal and expected for the computer to also see the iPod as a comera since that is how you get saved photos from the iPod to the computer.

  • Ipod Touch will not charge or connect to Itune, keeps reverting to apple logo?

    My Ipod Touch will not charge or connect to Itunes/computer
    Ipod switchs on charge logo appears then switchs to apple logo

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes.  It keeps turning off and then showing the apple logo?

    My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes.  It keeps turning off and then shows the apple logo.  I have tried holding down the button and plugging it in.  It will show the red battery for a second and then turn off?  Any other suggestions?

    I have checked for problems with the connections, but from what i can see with the naked eye, nothing appears abnormal. It is very strange, and very sudden. It just stopped in the middle of a charge. The apple store is my next step. I just wanted to see if anyone on here had some extremely eye-opening solution or check. thanks though!
    I'm also within warranty, so it's not a huge problem.
