My ipod touch is not recognized by my computer anymore

I don't know what to do. It started happening after I updated Itunes a couple of days ago.

Have you looked at this article:

The later would apply if An exclamation point appears next to the device's entry in Device Manager

TS1538 My ipod touch still not recognized by my computer or itunes

I just bought a brand new Ipod Touch. I plugged it in to my computer and my computer will not recognize it but other things are recognized by the device manager. I installed and reinstalled the newest version of Itunes and it isn't recognized by my computer or Itunes. I checked the USB cables, restarted the computer, restarted the Ipod and did everything in the article iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows and it still can't be recognized!! What should I do now?!

IPod Touch is not recognized by Windows Computer or iTunes

All the USB ports are fine and the cable work perfectly. When I plug in my Ipod it shows that its charging but the computers dont do anything.
I checked devices and even fiddled with some third party softwares that might be blocking it but nothing is working.
my Ipod, Itunes, computer, and antivirus software is all up to date. I tried reseting my Ipod and computer and reinstalling Itunes.
I also uninstalled itunes removed all components and reinstalled still not recognized.
I tried a second computer and have the same issue.
Any Suggestions what to try next?

Try a different charging/docking cable. If that does not work then you may have a problem with the docking connector in the iPod itself...

Ipod Touch 4g not recognized by docking station anymore

Hi there,
Have got a problem which just arose a few days ago, my ipod touch isnt recognized by my docking station anymore for some reason?
My docking station is a Sony RDH-GTK33iP Mini HiFi and the box it came out of says its compatible, its just all of a sudden my ipod doesnt get picked up by the dock so cant play music or charge. My Ipod was at the time I found out it wouldnt connect, was in "Headphone" mode (no idea how it got into that mode) but now I sussed that out & sound is coming out of the external speaker of the ipod again,
When connecting to the dock, the dock just keeps flashing "CONNECT" and will just keep flashing that whilst the ipod is docked on it until I take it off and then it says "IPOD" which is what it normally says when the ipod is docked and recognized, and also gives a tone confirming theres a ipod docked which doesnt happen now with this ipod, I have yet to try a different Ipod.

- Does the iPod work Ok with the internal speaker and when headphones are connected?
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod and dock for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Reset the dock and go to the manufacturer's support site
- 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.
- 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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

My iPod touch is not recognized by my computer or by iTunes. It will not charge or sync via USB cord. I'm not sure what generation it is, I've had it about 2 years. HELP!

I can't do anything between the computer and the iPod... cannot sync purchases, music, anything... I tried resetting my iPod, which was a HUGE mistake because now, none of my music is on it and I can't sync the thousands of songs I've purchased to it... all I am able to use it for is to download directly to the iPod via WiFi. (Which I do, but mostly for apps... I don't want to waste money duplicating music purchases.) I've tried the troubleshooting thru iTunes and nothing has helped. Please help!

Your Touch is working correctly. Currently, without unsupported third party hacks, the Touch has NO disc mode. It will only show up in iTunes.
how do i put programes and games in my ipod touch
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.

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.

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.
