My ipod touch is not recognized and a "false" recovery mode icon is diplayed on ipod

hello, sorry for the long title its just that i find this problem very specifically tied to me and probably ten other people on this planet... Since i couldnt find an answer on google or youtube....
now im here, newly created an apple account, and i wish to ask other people..... why?
i have received an ipod from a buddy of mine who finds me more computer-knowledgeable than he is.... which is a strech to say, anyways: problem is, ive done EVERYTHING, and not just everything, but EVERYTHING, unistall and re-install of itunes, including the recovery and DFU modes, driver updates, other computers, new cables, and even trouble shooting with every possible/relevant trouble shooter there is.... and it all leads to the same promblem:
Windows 7 says: "device not recognized"
oh, and about the "false" recovery mode, i found this out by carefully watching the ipod start up and i noticed that the top status bar turns on, then quickly off.... and the battery symbol remaines.... i also figured out the real recovery mode and already tried the whole "itunes restoration" routine.... but it doesnt matter because:
Windows 7 says: "device not recognized"
so, afterwards i figured "hey, maybe its got something to do with the drivers?" well, there was my solution, so i went to device manager, and attempted to update said driver manually using the Apple Moble Manager Service drivers... *GASP* DID IT WORK?
Windows 7 says: "Driver Manager says:'error: code 10: device will not start.'"
ah yes... what is code 10? its a code that aplies only to a device that has given an error code that windows does not recognise.... i assume the ipod thinks its already up-to-date.... or maybe its just crying in its digital coma, "just five more minutes, mommy!"
so final question, probably the only question i want answered, if any:
How, If possible, Do I get passed this "code 10" error so i can update my driver, and finaly cure my ipod of this..... coma?

  • My ipod touch is not recognized on itunes and will not turn on or give me the battery sign. I have tried toubleshooting it by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button, but it doesn't work. What do I do to fix it?

    My ipod touch is not recognized on itunes and will not turn on or even give me the battery sign that it is dead. I turned it off and it won't turn back on now. The screen is completely black and won't do anything. I have tried charging it over night and nothing happened. It was never near water. I have tried troubleshooting it by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button, but nothing happened and it didn't work. What can I do to fix it?

    Your Touch is working correctly. Currently, without unsupported third party hacks, the Touch has NO disc mode. It will only show up in iTunes.

    Right now, you don't. The SDK is scheduled to be released in Feburary. Then developers will be able to write programs that will be loadable.

  • TS1363 My sons iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes, or windows.  Is this repairable?

    My sons iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes, or windows.  I have tried a variety of options, even resetting, but still no luck.

    What does the iPod's screen say or do, when you connect it to USB port on the computer?
    The article referenced is for "regular" iPods.  An iPod touch is an iOS computer, so this article would be more appropriate for troubleshooting.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Be sure to rule out a faulty USB cable as the cause.  Try another cable, or try the cable you have with another device that has a dock connector.
    Also, you should do this test to rule out a problem with the USB port (such as lack of power or USB device conflict).  Shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices, including any hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).  If the computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). 
    Then, start up the computer, run iTunes, and connect iPod to a direct USB port on the computer.  If it still does not connect, connect something else to the same USB port to confirm it is working.  Preferably, use something similar, such as a USB flash drive or external drive.

    Yes. Also see the following.  I would first remove and reinstall all the Apple software using the instructions in the link.

    Your media should not be affected.  However, you should always have a backup of your media since glitches do happen.

    Just what have you tried.  There are many Apple articles on the subject and it easy to miss one or more. Did it work before?  Did you do anything to the computer since it last worked?  oDoes the iPod work OK?  Have you tried:
