My ipod touch will not connect to itunes.

I have tried every possible solution I can find on the web, I have followed the tutorials about 5 times on the support site, and this is what  happens. (This started after a recent update).
If I click on the App store icon I get a message that says "cannot connect to itunes store" and the only option is to press the "OK" button.
When I click on the ITunes icon it brings me to a web page that has at the top Apple-I Tunes-Affiliates. I believe I got to that screen by trying to uninstall and reinstall ITunes on it. I can do searches from there just like I was on this same web site on my ITouch, but no ITunes.
I can get on the internet for everything else with no problem with it.
I have downloaded the latest version of everything. Today I did the most up to date download and the device updated and restarted...the whole shebang, so I was really excited and thought I had it taken care of but it is still doing the same thing.
So in summary. When I try to access ITunes from my IPOD Touch it just brings me to the Apple Web site, and I can't find out to get to ITunes from there.
When App store icon is pressed it says cannot connect to itunes store.
This is driving me  craze. This thing is only a few  months old, but with no warranty as it is a replacement for another one that bit the dust.
My version is 4.3.5, (8L1) model MC00*LL
The device syncs with my computer without any problems.

Restore the device as new.

  • My Ipod touch will not connect to itunes. It only connects to the computer, nothing else. I have tried everything that I can, but itunes still wont recognize it. I even checked the printers and drivers and it stated that my Ipod is now a digital camera.

    I am not sure what I should do anymore, and I dont have the money to buy a new Ipod. Can anyone help me with this problem?

    Assuming a PC start here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    It is normal for the computer to recognize the iPod as a camera since thatis how one gets photos and videos off the iPod.

    No, you have to update to iOS 5 via iTunes/USB. One you get iOS you can further update via wifi.

  • IPod Touch will not connect to iTunes, please help..

    I purchased an iPod Touch yesterday. I synced it up to iTunes, everything fine. After disconnecting and then reconnecting later I found that the computer didn't recongize it and it did nothing but charge the iPod. I've tried many times, all to either have it do nothing, crash iTunes, or give me the message "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because of an unknown error (0xE8000001)". I've tried reinstalling iTunes, the whole Apple Device Service, the USB problems.. everything. I have USB 2.0, Version 1.1.2 of the iPod, and iTunes version 7.5. Please, please try and answer my problem.
    I've also restored using a friends computer, it works fine the first sync after I restore on his comp, but after that it does what I described above.
    Please help

    I was having the same problem but what I made was:
    Conect iPod Touch into a USB port but from the back of the PC
    Then *shut dawn* the iPod no lock *shut dawn*
    then reinstall iTunes (it has to be iTunes 7.5 o later)
    open iTunes
    turn on iPod Touch
    and it most work
    o restart your PC and try again

  • Ipod shuffle will not connect to itunes on win7

    Ipod touch will not connect to Itunes on WIN7. Used to work on Vista but has never worked on new WIN7 computer. Tried several cables and tried an Ipod shuffle. No joy. Current version of Itunes, restarted apple services and checked USB driver installed and functioning. When first plugged in, windows wants to know how to treat it (camera, file directory...)  and for a few moments shows it as a drive. Device also shows syncing for a few moments. Then Itunes starts, the device stops sync and windows no longer shows it as a drive. Itunes does not show the device but wants to transfer purchases from the device (transfer purchases from an ipod?). I tried the steps given in on-line help and the diagnostic. Must be missing something in the setup of Ituines. Any suggestions...

    Sorry sorry I am a not clear on apple product names. Actually do not care about the names. So I had to look this up so as not to offend anybody. I am talking an ipod nano gen4 AND and ipod nano gen7. Neither work. Can you direct me to somebody who might know how to fix this?

  • My 2nd generation iPod touch will not connect with the newest version of iTunes (December 2012 update). My computer(windows7) says the device is connected when i plug it in, but it will not show up in iTunes. Can anyone help?

    It still could be cable or contacts in the iPod since different contacts/conductor are used for charging and data

  • TS1717 ipod touch will not connect to the itunes store

    can some one tell my why the ipod touch will not connect to the itunes store - just says it can not connect.

    Hello, rumisha. 
    Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot the connection to the iTunes store you are experiencing on your iPod Touch.  Scroll to the section labeled Troubleshooting on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.  Attempt to connect to another wifi network to see if the issue persists as this could be the cause.

    Also, check the date and time.  I have attached a screen shot as this could cause an issue if not set correctly.

  • My ipod touch will not connect to wi fi.

    My ipod touch will not connect to wi fi.  I have tried reseting, I have the correct password.  I even took my ipod back to factory and nothing.  Any ideas/advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • IPod Touch will not connect to wi-fi away from home

    I realise this may not be a fresh topic but I've searched and cannot find an answer.
    My Touch - more or less brand new - connects to my home wi-fi with no hassle. Syncs, the whole bit. Lovely.
    But it won't work away from my home. It recognises wi-fi networks, let's me connect to them but won't actually let me access webpages or update my mail. The mail aspect is the biggest problem as I'm away from it most of the day and bought the Touch to solve the problem. It says it's updating but nothing is downloaded.
    Accessing the internet, even with wi-fi apparently switched on, doesn't work either. I've even tried renewing leases on wi-fi networks but it still won't work. Please help.

    Hello
    Couple reasons for why iPod Touch will not connect to WiFi Networks outside the house
    1. They are using Mac Address Filtering. Which require the WiFi address in your iPod Touch to be programmed into their WiFi Router. Not much you can do to fix that unless you know who owns the network and they are willing to add you
    2. The networks are running in 802.11 n Speed only mode. Thus iPod Touch will not connect as the touch only supports 802.11 B/G connections. They could also be using the old 802.11 (A) connection on the network as well
    3. As stated earlier they could have outdated Firmware/Software on the router. Thus making the router out of date and not able to connect modern day devices. So if you know the owner it may be advised they contact router manufacture or their tech to update the firmware/software and see if touch connects after
    4. Outdated Touch Software. Ensure you have the latest free version of the iPod Touch Software. If you have yet to get one of the paid versions you may wish to research and or see if a friend has a newer software on their touch and is able to connect to the networks you can not.
    5. WiFi Network security the hot spot is using. Sometimes old standard WEP security can prevent Touch from properly connecting and getting on the network. It is recommended if you know the owner or tech that runs it to try and use WEP 128 bit 13 character password or stronger more modern day wifi security.
    If they are using 40/64 bit WEP. Try adding a $ and then the password that they provide you and see if you can connect.
    If you get the time please visit your local Apple retail store so they can further look into the touch and test it on the store wifi network. If for some reason it does not work there and they determine possible HW service is needed they will speak about your in warranty options.

    My ipod touch will not sync with itunes I have tried to restore it to the factory settings and have now lost what little music I had on it I have music in my itunes but it wont sync for some reason .. please help ..

    Why won't it sync? Are you getting any sort of error message during the sync process?  If so what is the exact wording of that error message?  If this the computer you normally sync the iPod with?
