My ipod touch 4th gen isn't showing up on my computer.

I get error "usb device not recognised" (windows 7).
The ipod charges but doesn't show up in My Computer and therefor doesn't show up in iTunes.
Please help

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
Run this to help if it identifies the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?

  • New IPod Touch 4th Gen isn't being recognized by my computer or itunes.

    I got a new IPod Touch yesterday and I am finally getting the time to sit down and set everything up and when I plugged it in it makes the charging sound but itunes is not finding it and neither is my computer. I've been messing with it for hours now and at one point my computer thought the IPod was a camera. I've tried updating itunes to the newest version, uninstaling/reinstaling the drivers, even tried updating the IPod to iOS 6 thinking that might help but still nothing. What am I missing?

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen isn't detected on Windows 7 Starter

    Device: iPod Touch 4th Gen (lastest update)
    iTunes Version: Latest Version
    Operating System: Windows 7 Starter (A netbook computer)
    My friend just started having this issue with his netbook where his iPod Touch will not be detected at all not even under My Computer. It will charge the device however it will not sync.
    Before he had the iTunes Wifi Sync on, but it wasn't really working either for some odd reason.
    On booting iTunes I noticed it kept coming up with the need to downgrade to be compatible for iTunes to run probably. I assume the latest version of iTunes cannot naturally run on Windows 7 Starter with downgrading to a lower compatiblity likely either it downgraded to Vista or XP compatibility.
    I was wondering with it was an iTunes sync service was not turned on, but another friend had brought her iPhone and right away that device appeared in iTunes so it appears to be a issue with the iPod itself. We swapped usb cables in hopes that his older more worn cable may have been the issue, but still not luck.
    We had used all of the following listed from this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. As well as another which I can't seem to find that had about 15 items to try.
    So basically it doesn't show up as even a usb device in the "Device and Printers" window or as a device under "My Computer".
    Thanks for your time.

    - As asked for the versions since many users think that have the "latest" when they do not have the latest version/
    - Q4: I said no that the iPod Touch 4G does not show up in iTunes/My Computer in my post. Please My question read my post.
    My queston is does your iPod show up in iTunes when you conenct the iPod to another computer.
    "If you connect the 4G iPod to another computer does it show in iTunes/My Computer?"
    If no:
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - 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.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My iPod Touch 4th Gen isn't receiving messages,

    but only from certain people. And it is sending them fine. My friend is responding on a texting app I have, because iMessage is being so weird. Anyone else have this problem? Know how to fix it? I tried logging out and then back on to my iMessage, that just succeeded in clearing all my messages.

    You said " My friend is responding on a texting app ".
    You can only receive in the Messages app, Messages from other iOS devices (iPod touch iPhone or iPad) who sent it via the Messages app on their device.
    There are third-party apps like Text + thast work with other devices.

  • My iPod touch 4th gen. isn't giving me the option to download iOS 7

    I've downloaded the update on my computer that let's me update to iOS 7, but it's saying that it's up to date with version 6.1.3 and won't even give me the option to download iOS 7. How can I get it downloaded on there now?

  • Ipod touch 4th gen won't show anything on the screen after "reset all settings" option??

    okay, here's the situation.
    1. I DID NOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCE Jailbreak this iPod. in fact,  the iPod was FULLY reformatted, and had a whole new library put on it prior to the malfunction.
    2. the iPod WAS FULLY WORKING BEFORE i selected the "Reset all settings" Option from the Privacy menu
    3. I have tried ALL of the reset steps, including, but not limited to; DFU mode, Force reset, Hard reset, Hard reset, Force-into-itunes, and the like.
    So, knowing that I HAVE NOT jailbroken this iPod, and I have tried EVERYTHING tio fix it, what might the problem be? please, someone help ASAP.
    Brandon.

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod touch 4th gen. Can't get music on computer.

    My step dad recently wiped the harddrive and claims he put everything on an external drive. I can't find my music on there and my i touch is refusing to do anything until I sync to itunes. However, when I plug my itouch into the computer a screen shows up claiming I must restore my i touch. I have over $500 worth of music. Is there any possible way to sync my music from my i touch without losing everything?
