My iPod touch(4th gen.) no longer shows up in the iTunes sidebar, any ideas?

Does anyone know why an iPod no longer shows in the iTunes sidebar?

Assuming a PC
Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with              
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or              
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem

  • 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.

    - 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.

  • My ipod touch(4th gen)no longer syncs to itunes 10.7 via USB

    My ipod touch(4th gen)no longer syncs to itunes 10.7 via usb. i knew it didn't work via wifi with the new updates but this is too far. i can't see it in itunes at all anymore. i restarted my ipod already still with no results. the only thing i did is create and delete playlist from the ippd and deleted others from itunes as well. i've done it before but this time i assume it's led to this. any suggestions?

    Disregard. It seems i just needed to install an optional update with windows update. either that or just restart my computer instead of my ipod. silly me.

    Not compatible.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory. The 4G only has 256 MB

  • My ipod nano 7th gen no longer shows "Playlists" in the music menu. No changes made other than deleting one and adding one playlist to those synced. Synced fine in late February. Not working as of 3/7/2014.

    I would either say that the iOS is correpted due to a software glitch or y have have a hardware problem like bad memory locations that are corrupting the iOS.
    - Restore from backup via iTunes. This will install a fresh copy of the iOS. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.   This will elimate corruptin in the backup causing the problem.          
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings. Then setup the iPod with your account.
    If necessary, place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • IPod touch(4th gen) no longer supports accessories?

    http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/
    My iPod touch (4th gen) suddenly stopped supporting my Altec Lansing speakers, my iHome and my Onkyo dock.  I have updated to the latest version of iTunes, reset my iPod, wiped and restored my iPod (running iOS 6.1.6), turned my iPod off and on, unplugged and plugged back in all of the accessories...all to no avail.  The iPod will charge on all of the docks, so they recognize it, but the iPod says "This Accessory is Not Supported by iPod touch".  Last week it all worked fine. 

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Reset the accessories

  • Brought a second hand ipod touch 4th gen, tried to restore it and the battery died now it will not charge or switch on

    Hello everyone I brought a second hand ipod touch 4th gen and it all worked fab except it wouldn't let me put any new apps on it so my friend suggested I restore it which I did but while it was restoring the battery died. Now it doesn't seem to be charging and I have left it for ages through the laptop and tried it through a geniune apple plug in charger but its not working. When you plug in the cable to the laptop or plug the little grey apple comes up on the screen but only stays on for about 5 maybe 6 seconds. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have tried all the trouble shooting suggestions on apple but none of its worked, Shall we just bin it and learn from our mistakes.
    Thank you to anyone who can help

  • A song is listed as being 4:17 seconds but stops after 35 seconds and moves onto the next song, this happens in iTunes and on my iPod Touch 4th gen, both are recently updated to the latest software and the album was purchased today.

    This is bugging me quite a bit, I bought an album today and it lists the song as being 4 mins 17 seconds. However, as I mentioned, on both platforms it stops at around 35 seconds and flicks onto the next song in the case of iTunes or just stops playing audio for my iPod Touch 4th gen. It is a full song on Youtube and everywhere else I seem to look, so is this likely to be a software issue with iTunes/iOS or the song itself perhaps?
    Many thanks to any who can help!

    That suggests the track is damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
