My ipod Touch 5th gen wont show up on itunes but will connect to my computer and charge

When I plug in my ipod to my computer, itunes doesnt open. My computer is the only thing it recognize my ipod but itunes does not. It charges and pops up in my computer file explorer. I dont know what to do

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?

IPod touch 4th gen wont show up in iTunes, but my old iPod nano does.

So I've looked up this issue on multiple forums and here, but it seems like everyone is having a simmilar issue, but not the same. I've gone through just about everything here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369 and I've tried all the trouble shooting and everything. I thought that maybe it was an issue with my cheap USB but I recently purchased an apple brand one and it still doesn't work. My iPod doesn't even show up as an iPod in the connected devices on my computer, but it shows up as a camera or something. I have a Toshiba Leading Innovation laptop with Windows 8, and a 4th generation iPod touch. My older iPod nano connects to iTunes just fine. I'm thinking it's an issue with my iPod touch but I have absolutely no clue how to fix this. Can anyone help?

The Nano uses different drivers than iOS devices like the iPod touch

I have an Ipad and an Ipod Touch 5th gen both on the latest firmwares but they won't connect via bluetooth whenever I try even though both shows that the devices are discoverable. I need help!

I have an Ipad and an Ipod Touch 5th gen both on the latest firmwares but they won't connect via Bluetooth whenever I try even though both shows that the devices are discoverable. I also tried connecting them with my Bluetooth enabled laptop but it also didn't worked. Because of the Bluetooth not working I also can't enable airdrop.

What model iPad?
What model computer and OS version>
AirDrop requires:
What you need
To share content with AirDrop, both people need one of these devices using iOS 7 or later, or a Mac with OS X Yosemite:
iPhone 5 or later
iPad (4th generation or later)
iPad mini
iPod touch (5th generation)
You also need to turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. If you want to share with your contacts, sign in to your iCloud account.
Learn more about using AirDrop to share with people using a Mac with Yosemite.
Use AirDrop to wirelessly share content - Apple Support
System Requirements
To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector
your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed
Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network.
To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need the Mac models listed below with Wi-Fi turned on and OS X Lion or later installed.
MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
*The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.
For help identifying your Mac, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu. You can refer to the Apple Support website to find out if your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch includes a lightning connector.
Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support
Otherwise you need an app to pair via BT one iOS device to another iOS device. There may be apps that allow pairing with a Mac computer. The iOS devioces do not have the BT profiles necessary natively to pair with a computer or another iOS device except for AirDrop

My ipod touch 5th gen wont connect to updated itunes but is recognized on my computer, help!

Just brought a new ipod touch 5th gen, and when i connect it with my cable on my windows 8 hp laptop it will recognise it on my laptop in my computer but it won't connect with itunes. I have the latest version of itunes, and have tried reinstalling it three times, along with following the apple help sections but nothing has worked. It connects on other mac, and pc's itunes however and believe it is a problem with windows 8. Anyone having this problem or know how to help? thanks

If you mean playing music from your computer's speakers that that work if you computer can act as a bluetooth receiver (like BT speakers and headphones) since the iPod can transmit music using the A2DP BT profile.
On the iPod go to Settings>General>Reset> Reset Network Settings and try again. You will also have to rejoin all wifi networks

Ipod touch 5th gen, wont work?

when i took the charger out of my ipod touch 5th gen , the screen went dark and wouldn't respond then it went black and wouldnt turn on. i thought maybe it was dead so i charged it for an hour but nothing came up on the screen it just stayed black. i tried restetting it but nothing comes up
when connected to the computer it doesnt recgonise the device and says 'power surge on hub' ? so i cant fix it that way its only 4 months old and i dont know what is worng with it. it was working fine yesterday until i took the charger out.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable. The 'power surge on hub' error is common for a bad cable
- If a 5G iPod

- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

Ipod touch 5th gen wont send or receive texts while connected to specific internet

My iPod touch 5th gen (iOS 8.3) won't send or receive texts from my home internet. iMessage works everywhere else except for at home and I am wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem or if it has more to do with the actual internet connection. Up until a week ago I could send and receive messages but out of nowhere it stopped working. Everyone else's Apple devices (primarily iMessage) in my family work fine but my iPods iMessage won't work.
Safari works and all of my internet required apps work as well excluding iMessage.
If anyone has a solution or advice it would be much appreciated.
I've tried resetting my settings, network settings, signing out of my Apple ID, and making sure I have the correct time and date. I have reset my interent multiple times too.
Thanks.

Sure sounds like that the networks is blocking the ports required by Messages. See:

HT1386 iPod Touch 5th Gen not sync music on iTunes

Hi,
    Have just bought an iPod Touch 5th Gen.
    When I sync with iTunes I get my podcasts without any problem but I do not get any of my music. It claims "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including ..., were not copied to the iPod Touch because they could not be found"
    I am using iTunes 10.7.0.21 and ipod touch is version 6.0.1.
Thanks
Mike

Go onto iTunes on your computer and go to your music and right click them and delete them.
When your done, go to iTunes store --> purchased (it's on the side on the right) -> music and click on the cloud.
OR
On your iPod, do iTunes app -> More -> Purchased -> Music -> look for your artist and tap the cloud.

My iPod Touch 5th gen wont connect to my home wifi

Ever since my iPod Touch 5th generation died, i was unable to connect to my home wifi. i can connect to any other wifi network but it will not show up on my iPod when i am at home. i have tried resetting network settings, and i even restarted it to factory settings. my iPod still wont connect to home wifi. Please help me!

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device 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 your 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 and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Since updating iTunes my new iPod touch 5th generation wont show up.

I recently updated iTunes on Friday. But now that I try to sync my iPod touch 5th generation it is not showing up in iTunes. The iPod asks if I trust this computer and I click yes but nothing happens. What should I do?

In case you haven't found this yet... I managed to fix the problem with my iPhones by updating the USB device driver. The instructions are in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5822553?tstart=0
or you can follow this knowlege base article on the Apple site:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
(for me the problem required me following the instructions in the "If only Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod appears" section, but it may be different in your case)
Maybe Apple updated the USB drivers in this updated version of iTunes? I'm not sure why the installer failed to install these drivers automatically (maybe that isn't possible??). Maybe this is just a Windows problem and has nothing to do with Apple? Who knows...
