My iPod touch is not recognised by iTunes

Really frustrating now that Apple make you buy all this needless software which is not necessary with any other external drives or sticks. Then it doesn't work and the solution is not to be found immediately on the net. Is this what I can expect in the future? Worse service year by year? Very disappointing and maybe just time to change to someone who makes real things and not imaginary dreams.

I wanto to plug in and it should appear immediately - this is why I changed from the winblows to apple but apple has failed me so many times maybe it is time to get microsoft things instead.

Hi,
Take a look at this troubleshooting article:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538. 
Hope this helps!

    Does it charge?
    Try:
    - 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.
    - Try another cable
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

    My Ipod Touch is not recognised in itunes or my computer but still charges when connected via USB Please help

    Did plugging it into another USB port do any good? Make sure it is a USB port on the back of your PC and not via a USB hub or one on the front as they sometimes do not output enough power for the iPod to properly communicate with your PC.
    Do you have another 30 pin dock connector cable around you use to try and rule out a faulty cable? 
    Did you try a hard reset of the device with it still connected to your PC?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    With the article above were you able to verify that the Apple Mobile Device Service was installing and running on your system?
    Lastly, try plugging it into a different PC to see if it is recognized there.  It can help narrow down whether it is an issue with the iPod or with your PC.

  • IPod Touch 3G not recognised by iTunes after update

    I recently updated iTunes to 11.1.4.62, but now, my (admittedly, rather old) 3G iPod Touch, isn't recognised by it at all. It charges fine through the computer, and is recognised by the computer, it's only iTunes that won't see it - I'm worried that because my iPod's so outdated, it's being left behind by iTunes. My iPod's software is 5.1.1, and I'm running Windows 8 - any ideas on how I can resolve this?

    Perhaps something here will help:

  • IPod Touch 2g not recognised by iTunes

    With the new iTunes 11.1.4, my iPod Touch 2g is no longer recognized by iTunes (Windows 8 64 bit), although it appears in 'My Computer'. I have tried all the suggestions in the appropriate 'Help' page. A search of the internet shows that this is not a unique problem.
    As it is the only music player that I possess, I am rather irritated.

    It doesn't quite work that way. Transfer your music from the old computer to the new one. Then, sync the iPod.
