My ipod touch is having a fit when connected to my computer. Won't charge or sync. Other USB ports will let me at least charge. Anybody?

My PC that has my iTunes all of a sudden does not want to recognize my itouch. My itouch kind of freaks out. It blinks charging on and off, on and off... I am able to charge it using another USB port like on my wii or wall charger. I updated iTunes to the most recent version and it made no difference. Please help.
Any sugggestions?

  • I have just got an iPad and I want the music to be transferred through my iPod touch using iCloud but I didn't get the music from iTunes so I don't think it will let me do it. Do you have any tips that could help me?

    I have just got an iPad and I want the music to be transferred through my iPod touch using iCloud but I didn't get the music from iTunes so I don't think it will let me do it. Do you have any tips that could help me?

    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
    Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
    You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

  • How do I unlock my ipod touch, if I don't have access to the computer which it was originally sync'd?

    How do I unlock my ipod touch, if I don't have access to the computer which it was originally sync'd?  I sync'd the touch with a company computer at a my previous employer.  Any ideas?

    If you can't remember your password then have you tried getting it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com ?
    If you can't get it reset via that then try contacting Support in your country and see if they can reset it for you : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

  • 3rd Gen 32GB iPod Touch Caushes iTunes to crash when connected.

    I just bougth a brand new iPod touch 32GB model Number A1318
    I connected it to my iMac with OS X 10.6.1 and iTunes 9.0
    It detects the new iPod touch and activate it.
    But itunes crashes, so I can not sinc with it.
    How do I fix this?
    I tried reinstalling iTunes and iPod support from the Snow Leopard DVD, with no luck.

    Hi,
    I just want to get in on this one as well because I have the exact same problem. (ipod touch 3rd gen -recently purchased- itunes 9.01 crashes)
    When I go to sync my ipod, iphoto will open by default. I am able to see my ipod in the iphoto device list, but I cannot access it - I can only eject it. What is more, itunes will always crash at the same time. I am unable to reopen it.
    The only workaround I have right now is that if I delete all the content/settings on my ipod, I am able to re-sync it with itunes. The next time I want to sync it however, I will have to repeat the reset (not ideal!).
    If anyone has any help I would appreciate it.

  • My iPod touch is having a fit?

    I have an ipod touch that seems to be stubborn some times and doesn't want to turn on. it seems to happen more frequently, i will being listening to my music or surfing safari and i will turn off the music and screen and when i get back to it it won't turn on. i press the home screen, the wake/sleep button, i try charging it and it takes me to reset the thing again. when i turn back on it's a little sluggish and will lag, so i turn it off and back on. its kinda annoying, does anybody know why this is happening and how to prevent it from happening again?

  • My itunes said I needed an update, I unplugged the ipod touch and reset everything. When "connect to itunes" showed on the screen, I plugged it back in and Itunes no longer recognizes it.  I tried 4 usb cables, 4 different computers, all new itunes

    I've gone through all the troubleshooting of restarting computers & itunes and updating itunes.  Trying to put in to DFU mode.  I've tried everything.   iTunes just doesnt recognize this ipod.   I have multiple ipods/iphones, and everything else works.   I am eliminating the people who are saying it's a broken pin, that cannot be it, because immediately before that moment, it was connected, everything on my ipod was listed in iTunes.  It just promted me to update to 6.0.1 (or whatever the most recent is)  I also seen a lot of issues posted on the web of people who had jailbroken phones.  This ipod touch is standard, there were no jailbreaks or anything used ever.  
    There was a program called Wondershare Dr.Fone, which is said to be a photo recovery tool for ipods, to retrieve recently deleted photos.  (Guess I shouldn't have been trying to do that)  I downloaded this trial and when it opened it stated that Itunes and this could not run at the same time.  It shut down iTunes automatically.  At that point, I didn't do anything more with the Wondershare Dr. Fone, I didn't try to run the program or anything.  iTunes prompted me that the device needed to be upgraded to 6.0.1.  I had an option to download or download and install the updated 6.0.1 from Itunes.  I clicked on download only.  So iTunes was downloading the new version from my iPod Touch.  I shut it down the Wondershare Dr. Fone, unplugged the iphone from itunes/computer, went in to settings and did a master reset.  I plugged the device back in to the computer when the iTunes logo and usb came on the screen, and the computer/iTunes doesn't recognize it anymore.  I've tried 4 different usb cables and four different comuters all with up to date iTunes software.  I did not break the port either, nothing is inside the port, or blocking it in anyway.  All 4 computers and usb cables connected fine to other ipods and iphones.  
    So the questions are:
    How can I get my ipod out of restore mode (iTunes logo and usb cord sybol) without iTunes recognizing it?
    What could I have possibly done to this ipod? 
    Why doesn't anyone have the answer anywhere on the internet?
    (Note:  Even if the Ipod is placed in DFU mode, iTunes does not recognize it) 
    Please help!

    Me & My UnRestorable IPOD TOUCH

    Hello Philly,
    I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?)  touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
    I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
    ~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information

  • My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

    My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

    I think that may be a consequence of the email provider she is using. Some services (AOL is one example) inspect and modify email attachments, particularly photos, resulting in reduced resolution compared to the email that was sent.
    The iPod does not do this. The resolution of the picture in the email she receives will be identical to what is imported.

  • My ipod touch is having problems with the headphone jack when I rotate a little song stops

    my ipod touch is having problems with the headphone jack when I rotate a little song stops

    Hey Silverdemon, sounds like a short, most likely in the headphones. Try a different set of headphones with this iPod or try the headphones with a different device. If the problem stops with your iPod or it moves to another device, then replace the headphones. If within 1 year of date of purchase Apple will replace the headphones for  free if problem is a defect, not abuse. If the problem continues with a different set of headphones, check the port for damage and foreign debris. If you note debris, attempt to remove it, if damage noted contact Apple and set up an appointment to have it evaluated. if nothing appears wrong, try plugging / unplugging to jack about 12 times maybe corrosion on the contacts if so that should clean it. Next thing to try reset your iPod. After that try restore from backup. Last resort, restore to new. Just make sure you make a full backup to your computer before you restore so no data is lost. If nothing works, contact Apple and set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated. Good luck, Cheers.

  • My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. Any tips?

    My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. I tried restarting it a few times, nothing worked. I looked up many tutorials, and still nothing did the trick. Any tips?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    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.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    The other responder gave you a program that will transfer stuff from your iPod to your new computer.  You can transfer iTunes purchaces to your new computer by:

    After you move your stuff to your new computer you will have to let iTunes erase your iPod and then sync with the stuff that is now in your iTunes library.  You will loose app data though.
