My IPod touch not connecting to computer or itunes, it only charges

I Have an IPod touch 4g and when i plug it in the computer, it charges but it doesnt connect to Itunes or My computer?
Ive tried using a different cable there was no difference, I tried pluggin it in a different computer, still the same problem, reboot my IPod, I tried going to service at menu at the computer and restarting IPod device.
None of them worked. Im wondering if its my IPod touch. Can someone please help me? I have been looking for a solution but still no luck :(

Looks like a hardware failure, you'll have to get it serviced by visiting an Apple Store or by contacting Apple:

1st generation ipod touch not recognised by computer or itunes

My first generation iPod touch is no longer being recognized by my laptop or itunes. It wont charge etc or even show up in my computer. It will how ever charge through other things, such as through an xbox and a power supply. The USB sockets work fine on my laptop, phone connects perfectly, only issue is with the iPod. The trouble shooting only dealt with itunes but none of the issues it bought up were relevant, everything it suggested has been tried and tested and doesn't work. What can i do?

TS1369 ipod touch not recognized by computer or itunes

My iPod Touch is not recognized by my computer or itunes. I believe this happened after the recent upgrade for latest fixes.

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Also, if you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

Do I need to download my music from my ipod touch onto my new computer into itunes before downloading more music from itunes?

Do I need to download my music from my ipod touch onto my new computer through itunes before downloading new music onto my ipod?

No you can purchase it directly from the iPod and then sync it to the computer whenever it is convenient for you

I downloaded the new iOS software on my iPod touch 4th gen. Now it's saying connect to computer with iTunes, I only have a iPad I don't have a laptop is there any way to bypass this

I Downloaded the new iOS software on my iPod touch now when I turn it on it has a USB cord and says connect to computer and iTunes, well the only other

No. You have to connect the iPod to a computer and restore via iTunes.
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Find a friend or go to an Apple store.

but, it is charging so... it is connected
have tried everything except re-installing itunes... if the computer is not seeing it, and it shows the connection when itunes isn't open...

Ipod Touch not accepted by the latest iTunes

Hey there
this morning i updated my itunes to the latest version. now, i wanted to connect my iPod with my PC (Win 7, 64-Bit) and iTunes says
"An iPod is discovered, but could not be identified. Please disconnect your iPod from you PC and try again."
That's what i did but nothing happened. So tried to restart my iPod and connect it to my PC again - also nothing; same message.
Is there any way to get my iPod accepted by my PC?

Ipod is not connect to windows or itunes but it still shows up on ipod

i had to re set my ipod the other day and ever since then it will NOT connect to windows of itunes but every time it shows up on the ipod that it is connected!

Welcome to the discussions,
try again to reset by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again. If still no luck, restore "as new ipod"

IPod touch not connecting to iTunes or computer and has a "connect to iTunes" message when powered on

So, I got my iPod 3rd gen 8gb off craigslist, I had a chance to test it, it worked fine then. I reset it and then tryed to connect to iTunes with my sisters' iPod touch 4th gen usb cable, and it didn't work. I tryed it again on my moms desktop and it says that the USB device is not recognised, so the USB cable DOES work. I downloaded iTunes on the desktop computer, and still, didn't work. I ordered a new cord, maybe it will work, but who knows. Also, I contacted the people I got the iPod from, they said they had reset it and it connected to iTunes just fine.
A nice detailed answer would be appreciated.

Ahh, just un-installed the Apple Mobile Device thing in my Programs and Features, then uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it and it worked, I got the driver in and did the thing on the page you gave me and it works like a dream. Thank you!!

thank you so, so much in advance.
feel free to ask me about any other details.

Does your ipod charge if you use the adapter instead your usb ports? If yes, try to put it into recovery mode and restore. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
This will take all of your music off your ipod, but, as mentioned by luvlabs, it is still on your mac after the restore.
If it doesn't charge using the adapter and different cables you should make an appointment with your nearest Applestore or call Apple to service your ipod.

IPod touch Not recognized by Computer but charges?

Hey all
Want to ask you to help me.
My iPod touch 4th generation is not recognized by the computer, when I plug it in, nothing happens. I got my working iPod touch 4th generation and plugged it in to the computer and the computer made that ding sound and itunes recognized it.
It is not the computer problem in this case. I just restored another 4th gen iPod Touch last night and it connected and everyrthing so this is a problem wirth te unit itself.
If this helps any, the screen was proffesionally replaced. (not by Apple)
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I checked the dock connector and the corners of it are worn to a tiny copper wire on the left side but it's not sticking out. My other 3 iPod touches 4th gens have the identical thing, 2 have it worse in fact, yet, they connect to the computer fine. It is a problem with the iPod itself...
I bought the iPod like this after the screen was replaced from eBay. It was like this before the screen was replaced anyways.
Any other ideas?

IPod Touch not connecting - all support methods tried.

I'd just like to say right off the bat that I've already tried every method on the support pages that has anything to do with an iPod not connecting or not being read into iTunes. That means I've reset the iPod, completely uninstalled the reinstalled iTunes(several times), reinstalled the drivers in the Device Manager, etc.
So, here's the deal: I'm currently running iTunes 8 on Windows XP 32-Bit. My iPod Touch used to be able to connect to my computer, but for some reason a few months ago it started having problems. When it first stopped working, it showed up in the Device Manager as "Apple iPod" under Imaging Devices. However, "Apple Mobile Device Support" showed up under Universal Serial Bus Controllers.
Since it was reading the device as a camera, I found online that to fix it you install the USBAAPL driver onto the iPod by manually updating the driver. The Wizard did not see the USBAAPL driver as an improvement on the current driver and thus refused to install it. I therefore tried deleting the current driver, but it still only reinstalled the generic usb driver. After much fiddling around, "Apple Mobile Device Support" in the USB Controllers section eventually changed to "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver." I tried updating this driver, and that made "Apple iPod" stop appearing in the Imaging Devices category.
Where I'm at now is, every time I plug in the iPod, the only change in Device Manager is that "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" shows up in USB Controllers. When I plug the iPod in, iTunes freezes up for a minuter or two even though every other program is running perfectly fine, which makes me think that it's recognizing the iPod on some level. But it still won't show up in iTunes and (now that it isn't seen as a camera anymore) won't show up in My Computer anymore.
Does anybody have any clue how I might . . . you know . . . make use of my investment? Or is Apple just selling very expensive paperweights now? Like I've said, I've been trying fix after fix from all the support pages that have anything to do with the iPod not connecting.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

It really sounds like you spent too much time fiddling with drivers and have gotten things really messed up.
I would start this way if it was my machine:
1. In the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs - remove everything Apple. That includes iTunes, Apple mobile device services, QuickTime and anything else.
2. Reboot your computer
3. Download and install the latest version of iTunes. Let the software do the full install and don't mess with Custom install if offered.
4. Reboot again.
5. Try your iPod and see what happens. If your iPod is still not recognized, use this article to troubleshoot http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567
6. If it is recognized as a camera, use this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1857
If it continues to be a problem, you are probably going to have to do some registry editing to clear out the errors or possibly a reinstall of XP. Hopefully not.
