My iPod Touch Gen. 5 isn't being detected?

I plugged in my (new, recently bought) iPod Touch Gen. 5 to my computer (I use Windows, btw), and the Music library detected it. Good. THen i went to WIndows Media PLayer and iTunes to sync music onto it but it didn't detect my iPod at all So I unplugged it and plugged it back into another USB port. Nothing changed! So I resstarted my computer, itunes, and then ipod. Nothing happened, either.
WHat should i do? i really wanna get music onto it.

Windows Media Play will not detect the iPod. Yo have to use iTunes for syncing.
See:

I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

  • TS1538 my ipod touch 4g isn't being recognized by the computer nor Itunes.

    My ipod touch 4g isn't being recognized by the computer nor itunes. I didn't charge my ipod for about a week and then I bought a new usb cord and since then my ipod won't be recongnized. I've tried everything and nothing seems to work. My ipod still charges on the computer. Please help!!!!

    Did you try everything here:

    Next try another computer.

  • My refurbished iPod touch 4g isn't being recognized on my computer

    I just bought a refurbished iPod touch 4th Generation from the Apple store and it shipped yesterday. When I tried syncing it with iTunes this morning, it was not even being recognized by my PC. My computer recognized it as first and said everything was installed, but when I went to sync it to iTunes it said it was unable to sync so I unplugged it and now not even the computer is recognizing it. The iPod just says it's charging when plugged in and computer does not say i have anything plugged in.

  • Ipod touch headphone mic not being detected.

    I have an ipod touch 3G 32GB and I use the headphones that came with the product (they have a built in remote and microphone). I just bought the ipod touch, and as soon as i try to record some voice momos, my ipod touch tells me there is no microphone inserted, although the headphones (with the microphone and remote built in) have been inserted. Same happens when I try to call people on Skype. Somebody please help me.

    i have the same problem with two of my ipod touches 2G and nano 4th generation, with my newly purchased headphone mic remote set. called the apple expert, he suggested me to reset them first, and if still not working then restore them to their original settings with itunes. and if still not working, then need to bring everything to any apple store to see an apple genius.
    i reset them all. everything works fine only when plugging in the headphone set for the first time, then none of them detect the headphone set again.
    restore them. everything work probably until i transferred music and videos back to all the ipods. now they sometime detect the headphone set and sometime they don't.
    anyways, seems like there're some kind of software conflicts. so, i will bring all my ipods and the brand new headphone mic set to talk to an apple genius.
    hope this help.

  • Ipod Touch (GEN 2) is not being seen under devices in my Itunes

    My Ipod Touch (GEN 2) is not being recognized under devices in my Itunes. My computer is recognizing it as a device under device manager, but it is not showing up under devices in my Itunes. I am also getting this error message saying "Itunes Could Not Connect to this Iphone because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000065)", and the weird thing about it is that i do not have an iphone but an ipod touch. I have followed the steps on the support website and they have not helped. Iam out of ideas and i really need some help. Please Help!!

  • I had my computer wiped and they accidentally wiped my itunes! I have a iPod touch gen 3 but i cant now download or put more music on, without the whole thing being wiped, and I have spent a lot of money on songs and apps!

    I had my computer wiped and they accidentally wiped my itunes! I have a iPod touch gen 3 but i cant now download or put more music on, without the whole thing being wiped, and I have spent a lot of money on songs and apps! Does anyone have an ideas about what I could do, to prevent all my things deleting, because I won't be spending more money on apps that I have already purchased once!!
    Thank you,

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • Does BT Fon/Openzone work with an ipod touch gen 1...

    Hi,
    I am a BT Infinity customer and have opted in to BT Fon. I cannot get my ipod touch gen 1 to work with a BT Fon or Openzone network. I can connect to my BT home hub as well as various friends' networks but for some reason I can't get the BT Fon/BT Openzone to work. It sees the network and in Settings-->Wi-Fi Networks I have deleted the initial 10.xx.xx.xx entry (leaving the "192.168.22.22, 192.168.22.23" with no leading space) and it says it has connected. When I go into Safari and try and enter any URL it says "connecting..." but I do not get the landing page (to enter my details) and it eventually times-out with a "Cannot open Page. Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding" message. This even happens when I try and use the BT Fon part of my home hub!
    Any ideas why this isn't working? I have tried various BT Fon/Openzone points and none of them work. Any help would be most appreciated!
    P.S. I cannot use the BTFON app as it is not compatible with the ipod touch gen 1 (I have the latest version of the ipod gen 1 software which is 3.1.3).

    Well, I've tried various networks and various settings and I simply cannot get the ipod touch to work with BT Fon/Openzone.
    I have to say I'm very disappointed with this - it was a toss-up for me to join either Virgin Media or BT Infinity and the only thing that swung it was the opportunity to use BT Fon/Openzone points when out and about. I think I've made the wrong choice as it is pretty useless to me now.
    Also, the BT Fon website claims that in the area where I work there a lots of BT Fon/Openzone networks but I spent an entire lunchtime walking around with my ipod checking the available networks and only found two - both with fairly weak signals that occasionally disappear and reappear. Anyone else noticed this too?
    I'm fairly sure it's not my ipod as it will happy connect to my homehub from the bottom of my garden which is around 30 metres away from the hub.

  • Please Help! Ipod Touch Gen 5 stuck in restoring mode.

    I purchased a Ipod Touch Gen 5 32gb for christmas and i just brought new songs from itunes and i plugged my ipod in to update the songs, itunes came up with a message saying "itunes has detected ipod in restoring mode, you need to restore ipod before you can use itunes." So i clicked restore and after 40 min it said completed but again the message came up. After restoring it about 5 times, nothing changed. I disconnected my ipod from my pc and it just has the image of the itunes symbol and the usb cord. I have the lastest itunes verson. Ive tried everything but nothings worked and i dont want to jailbreak it. Please help!

    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 gen 4 error 1602

    I have iPod touch gen 4.

    I browsing abaout error 1602. it said, cause software update and firewall.
    I think my laptop is up to date.

    mm.
    maybe is problem hardware?
    if problem hardware approximately what is a part problem?

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps. If you're using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue isn't resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting and another computer isn't available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes.
    Confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above don't resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. You may resolve this error by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. Learn more about troubleshooting security software.
    Could be a hardware problem since:
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I have an issue with my iPod touch gen. 5 connecting to my iTunes. iTunes says my device has an error, but it does not specify the error and I can't do nothing. I was transferring more music and editing my playlists. My songs and movies are gone.

    What can I do to solve an issue with my iPod touch gen. 5 32 gb on connecting to iTunes on my computer? iTunes says there is an error with my iPod touch, which this was a result of deleting my songs and videos. I was only transferring more songs, videos and editing my playlists. I don't have that much of the songs left. What is the best solution?

    And what is the wording of the error message?

    My main PC with my Itunes Library just crashed.  I still have all my music on Apple TV, Ipod Touch (Gen 2), and Iphone 4 (verizon).  How can I get everything set up on a new PC and working ?

    I downloaded Itunes 10.2 on new desktop, ran sync with my ipod touch (Gen 2) and have all my music on new PC.  Just can't get it to sync with my Apple TV (Gen1).  I have made music purchases on Apple TV and cannot get them to Ipod/Iphone?  Help

  • Purchases made on my ipod touch are no longer being transferred to the Mac...but yet they are showing up in "grey" in the purchased list on the Mac.  Any clues as to what is going on?

    What used to work just fine, is no longer working...
    Within the last 2 days, song purchases that were made on my ipod Touch are no longer being transferred when the ipod synchs up.  The strange thing is that the songs appear in iTunes --> Store -- Purchased list, but are greyed out.  They play just fine on the ipod...but aren't making it back to the Mac.
    I have tried right clicking on the ipod when it appears in iTunes and selecting "Transfer purchases", but that doesn't seem to work either.
    Any clues as to what is going on?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    One other very important piece of information I forgot to include...the purchases were made prior the iOS update.  So the sequence of events went like this:
    1) ipod Touch with previous iOS (4.0 I think)
    2) purchases made
    3) ipod connected and iTunes prompts for iOS update
    4) iOS upgraded to 5.0
    5) Now the purchases seem to be stranded on the ipod Touch
    Thanks!
