My ipod touch 5th generation won't connect to itunes or my computer.
So i was syncing my ipod touch to itunes, however in the middle of the syncing itunes froze. So i closed itunes and now when i plug my ipod touch back in it wont recognize it or connect to my computer at all. And if i just plug my charger in, it'll pop up as a device, but once i plug my ipod into the charger it shows up as now device connected at all. How can i fix this? i really do not want to have to restart my ipod but if thats what i have to do i'll do it.
- Reboot the computer
- 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.
Then try again.

How come my iPod Touch (5th Generation) won't appear in iTunes?
My iPod Touch (5th Generation) won't appear in iTunes. I've never had any problem like this until we got that new charger and USB cord that comes with the 5th Generation. We just barely managed to get it to charge with my HP laptop. Before the device was considered "unknown" and was rejected by my computer, but then I found an article that said to uninstall the USB driver or whatever, and we did so, so now it's able to charge. We got all happy, thinking that it was going to apear in iTunes now, but it's still not there. It's said to be "Apple iPod" whenever it pops up after being connected to the computer, but it doesn't open in iTunes. I tried going under "File" and then "Device", and then trying to sync, but it appears gray and won't let me click on it. I don't know how to get it to open there. Can anyone help me? Please?

Try

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

IPod touch 5th generation won't connect to the tv after doing up grade
iPod 5th generation won't connect to the tv after doing an software update. Get an error message (this accessory is Not Supported by iPod touch) please help me with this
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -

My Ipod touch and phone will both charge when plugged into the wall. My phone an iphone 4th generation will connect to my laptop. I have uninstalled and installed itunes as well as checking the Apple USB Drive and neither has helped. Not sure if it matters but my computer was recently updated to Windows 8.1. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do? Thanks.
Does it charge?
What model iPhone and iOS connects?
Do you have iTunes 12?
If you are not using the same cable as the phone try another cable.
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPod Touch 5th Gen won't connect to iTunes
Hi everybody. I got a new iPod touch 5g and it won't show up in iTunes when I try to connect it. I've reset it, tried a different cord, tried updating both iTunes and my iPod and also have tried everything the Apple support page has suggested (restart computer, soft reset of iPod, etc.). The iPod shows up under "My Computer" as a camera, but under "Devices" in iTunes it doesn't show up at all. I can't attempt a restore or anything that requires using iTunes to fix this problem obviously considering my iPod won't even show up in iTunes, so if you please, don't just reply to this saying "Restore it with iTunes" or "Try syncing it". It's impossible to sync/restore through iTunes when your iPod doesn't actually show up in iTunes.

IPod Touch (4th generation) won't connect to wifi! Please help!
My iPod Touch (4th generation) won't connect to my house wifi that it's always connected to. I tried forgetting the network, and putting the password in again, several times. I've tried restarting my iPod, turning the wifi on & off, and also turning the router off and back on but none of this has helped. After I forgot the network and typed the password back in it just kept saying 'loading' and eventually it stops loading but still doesn't connect. It also shows other peoples wifi's but I haven't tried to connect to theres to see if it works. It just started doing this yesterday at this other place I was at but i just figured it was their wifi because when I got home that night it worked just fine but today it started doing it again at my house and I don't know what to do. Please Help!
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indiacte 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?

My iPod Touch 5th Generation won't play music out loud. Why and what can i do to 'fix' it?
If you mean the headphones work but the speaker does not:
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
