My Ipod touch isn't recognized by Win 7 computer or Itunes

My computer doesn't do anything when I plug in my ipod. I've tried reinstalling Itunes 4x. It doesn't show up in my computer or device manager. The ipod charges when I plug it in but the computer still does nothing.

I don't have a different cable and it does nothing on my laptop as well. I don't think there is anything wrong with the cable because when I plug the Ipod in it charges but the computer does nothing.

  • Ipod touch isn't recognized on my machine but is on my other pc   :o(

    I have been unable to get my Windows XP service pack 3 machine to recognize my ipod touch since 12/24. Prior to that I've successfully linked and synced since May. I've tried all the solutions mentioned on the Apple site several times including unistalling and reinstalling itunes, trying all my different USB 2.0 ports, powering ipod and pc down and back up again, resetting my ipod and so on. I've unplugged all other usb devices and tried it. I also have a firewire port and it doesn't work there either. (It had previously) I've stopped and started my Apple Mobile Device services and watched as the Apple Mobile Device USB driver activates as soon as I plug my ipod into a USB port. What happens then is that Windows reports that "An iPod has been detected but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect the iPod, then try again." A dozen times later it's still saying the same thing. (For a time Windows thought it was a camera, but somewhere I found how to turn that off.)
    What's wierd is that my old ipod and itunes get along fine when I plug that one into the same USB port on my PC. iTunes identifies the old iPod and it syncs perfectly.
    Also wierd is if I connect my new ipod touch to my wife's PC, itunes and the ipod touch sync successfully as well.
    I've gone so far to reinstall Windows to a version in October, back when my ipod touch was working perfectly but still no luck.
    I don't know the fix but as far as I can tell my Windows XP machine is unable to identify the ipod touch but it has no problem identifying my older ipod.
    Does anyone have anything they could suggest? I'm going through ipod withdrawl!

  • TS1538 My iPod Touch isn't recognized in itunes.

    My ipod touch isn't recognised in iTunes on the computer I always use to sync music onto it. (I can't see "Omar's iPod" in the left column.)
    When I plug it in and I open up iTunes, the device isn't shown.
    However, the device is shown in My Computer.
    When I plug it into other computers, iTunes recognises my device. (I can see "Omar's iPod" in the left column.)
    I've tried every method, except for Recovery Mode because I don't want to lose any of the files on my iPod.
    I've done every method in the Apple trouble shooting manuals.
    I need iTunes to recognise my device, help please.

  • My ipod touch isn't recognized by my computer or my dock

    My ipod touch 4th generation won't connect to my computer or my memorex dock! I tried connecting my ipod with 2 different usb cables to both my computer and my mothers and it wasn't recongized at all by both. I also tried connecting it through an external port from my laptop fan thing, but that was unsuccessful as well. I've had some past trouble getting my ipod to connect to my computer (windows 7), but once I put the usb back or changed the usb port in a few times it always recognized it. Everything is fine with the wifi sync, its just not working so I can connect via usb to my computer. I've been trying to get it to do so for the past 2 hours. Also, it won't charge in my docking station! It will play music, everything its supposed to do, except charge! The funny thing was that it worked fine about 2 hours ago and had no problems whatsoever with it! I have a feeling these two are somehow connected! I haven't done anything to it either like dropped it or splashed water on it, like I said a few hours ago it was perfectly normal!! And yes, I've been on pretty much every page of this website and google looking for answers and upadted and unintstalled and reuntalled and resest and rebooted! So please unless you'll be the answer don't put it down! This is my last resort before the apple store! Please help! Thank you!! (:

  • IPod touch isn't recognized by iTunes

        My iPod Touch 4th gen is exactly a year old. Today I tried to plug it into iTunes but it was not recognized. Not only was the iPod not connecting to iTunes, but it was not charging either. It is not the computer, I have tried both of my macs. It is not the cord, I have tried two different cables which don't work. I have tried both cables on my old iPod nano and they work fine. In addition the cables work when charging the iPod touch through a wall charger. I'm thinking the problem here is the iPod...? Please help me out!!!

    - Try resetting 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 try placing the iPod in recovery mode nd then restore vi iTunes.  Noe that if iTunes does not see the iPod the iPod will not work. For recovery mode:

  • My Ipod Touch isn't recognized by Itunes or Windows. (using Vista) I have tried Apple's reinstall, it didn't work.

    I have tried Apple's reinstall, it didn't work. There aren't any other devices in any USB port. Using the same USB connectorcable and port, my computer and iTunes will recognize my friends exact same model of iPod touch (4 gen). Any help? It is a new iPod, never before connected to any computer.

    Yu can try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then try restoring via iTunes. The problem is that if you can't restore your iPod may be bricked
    Next would be to try DFU mode. this may also brick your iPod if it can't be restored.

  • My iPod touch isn't recognized by my iTunes.

    What do I do from here? I have already reset all settings on the iPod itself. Restarted the AMDS and even remove and reinstall iTunes, restarting the computer in between doing all of this. but ****!! nothing works!!

    Try it on another computer to eliminate an issue with the iPod.

  • My 3G iPod touch isn't recognized by iTunes.

    I've reset the iPod, completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, and did the same with the driver software. ITunes recognizes my 2G iPod touch but not my 3G. The driver software installed itself as a digital camera software instead of where it should be. I've tried everything I've been able to find and it still won't show up. I went through all of the troubleshooting stuff too.

    If you have iTunes 11 and are using the same cable that works with the 2G iPod.
    - Try on another computer
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • IPhone 2.2.1 software on my iPod touch isn't recognized by my car stereo...

    Hey, First ever post in an online discussion. Hope I'm doin' this right...
    I'm trying to restore the factory software to my first generation 32G ipod touch from my MacBook because my car stereo does not recognize the new software. (my MacBook doesn't have iphone 2.2.1 installed, and Apple support told me a factory settings restore from my MacBook to my iPod touch is my only hope). It seems I can't do an old fashioned restore because my MacBook doesn't even see the iPod (presumably because the iPod has the newest software and the laptop doesn't).
    Anyone... Bueller...?

  • My ipod touch is not recognizing any charger including computer.  It is only 2 months old

    My Ipod touch 5th generation is not being recognized by any charger or by the computer.  This is only 2 mos old

    See the not-charging topic of:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    Have you tried another cable?
    Another charging source? Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.
    BTW, there is not 5G iPod touch. The current one is still the 4G iPod touch
