My ipod touch is not recognized in itunes and when i turn it on the screen just stays at the apple logo.

Is there something i can do to fix it? Or should I just send it in to apple?

-See if resetting the iPod will allow iTunes to see the iPod so that you can restore the iPod.
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.
- Next seeif recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Let the battery fully drain. Charge and try again
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or arrange fro service by Apple.

    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?

  • TS1538 My iPod Touch is not recognized in iTunes and not seen in My Computer (Windows XP) either.

    My problems began whe I got the notice that iTunes 10.6.3 was ready to update.
    I have a iPod Touch 3rd Gen.
    I have followed all of the troubleshooting steps. I have uninstall all of my security software.  I have followed the steps to uninstall itunes and all of the other programs in order. I have re-installed itunes multiple times.
    I noticed that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed under the Device Manager. However, when I follow the directions to "Update the driver" I can navigate to the usbaapl.inf driver file but when I hit the OK button to install I get an error "The specificied location does not contain information about your hardware" and it will  not install the usb driver.
    What do I do now???  Any suggestions?

    Try recovery or DFU mode.

    How do I change the name of my ipod? It was used, i purchased it from a friend.

    I have 4 pc's at home and an imac, but the ipod has the same error on all of them. sorry for not pointing that out, seems that it works only on a MAC OS X, cause my imac isn't an OS X and it can't read the ipod either, it recognizes it as an ipod,and gives me info on it, but it freezes up also when I try to open it...thanks for trying to help.

  • My ipod touch is not recognized by itunes on my laptop.

    There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site.  If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

  • 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.

    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.

    Why is my ipod touch is not recognized by itunes? I have tried everything that the troubleshooting guide says and nothing works.  Anyone have any other suggestions?

    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:
