My IPod Touch won't show up at all on the computer

Hello,
I have had an Ipod Touch for 10 months now, bt suddenly for no reason my Ipod doesn't show up on the computer at all. It doesn't say it's charging, it doesn't make a noise and it doesn't show up in the computer or itunes.
I have tried using different cables, different computers and different cables with different computers. I have re-installed itunes, re-installed quicktime, turned off firewalls and all other security stuff. I have done everything people have told me to.
Please Help Me
P.S Over the time that i have had my ipod i have cracked the screen (my own fault) and have not repaired it yet, and i still have warranty.

Thanks -- actually I worded the question wrong.  I was trying to find my songs icon and kept reloading Itunes to try to find it.  All I could get was the store.  I finally figured out how to reset the desktop and I got my icon back.  Thanks for your answer.

  • HELP!!!!!! MY IPOD TOUCH WON'T TURN ON OR CONNECT TO THE COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!

    boxa little bit of My ipod's backlight has been going off at random moments. If I locked it for a few moments then unlicked it then it would be fine, or sometimes I would have to charge it. Recently, when this happened, after locking it, it did not fix itself, so after locking it a second time, I tried to unlock it but nothing happened. I tried to charge it and nothing has worked. It doesn't even connect to my computer (Windows XP). It is a very old iPod touch. 2nd Gen, 8gb. iOS is I think less than 4, although it could be iOS 4.2.1 because it wouldn't let me update. It's been dropped quite a few times but that never really did much damage except for a dent in the outer shell. I had no case, it was my friend's old one, and I could not buy one because it was too outdated. The only liquid that has gotten on it is hairspray, and it was just  spray from when I was doing my hair. I don't know what to do, and I had no warranty, I don't have the origional box, and I don't have the reciept. Also, I do not want to have to send it in and pay any money, because I don't even have enough money to get a phone plan, and that comes first.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My 1st generation Ipod touch won't turn on at all and whenever I press the buttons to reset it all I get is a white screen, or a white screen with black lines across.

    You can work through the five 5 R's of troubleshooting to rule out the possibility of corrupted software.

    It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
    Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity.  A third party service will actually replace the damaged part for a little less.  Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

  • HELP! my work ipod touches won't synch with Exchange anymore after the 5.1.1 upgrade

    HELP! my work ipod touches won't synch with Exchange anymore after the 5.1.1 upgrade

    I may have solved it from another post....the "sync music" tab wasn't clicked under "Summary/Music".  I had recently downloaded a more recent version of iTunes, and it may have defaulted to that....sigh.....

  • 2 of my movies are no longer working in my iTunes or on my iPod Touch, One doesn't play at all and the other gets to about 29:00 than stops working and I don't want to buy them again. What's happening?

    2 of my movies are no longer working in my iTunes or on my iPod Touch, One doesn't play at all and the other gets to about 29:00 than stops working and I don't want to buy them again. Then also when I added a non-iTunes movie and tried to have iTunes make an iPod/IPhone version it gave me error -4. What's happening to my movies?

    I also have to add that the right earbud only doesn't work on my phone while i'm listening to music. If I'm face timing it's okay. what the heck.

    Nonsense, and very misleading advice.  I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4  through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones.  Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either.  Hack your phone and have update problems?  I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

    Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
    As per the forum term of service you can't get help here.  Use google.
    that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

  • How do I unlock my ipod touch, if I don't have access to the computer which it was originally sync'd?

    How do I unlock my ipod touch, if I don't have access to the computer which it was originally sync'd?  I sync'd the touch with a company computer at a my previous employer.  Any ideas?

    If you can't remember your password then have you tried getting it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com ?
    If you can't get it reset via that then try contacting Support in your country and see if they can reset it for you : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

  • My 2nd Gen iPod Touch won't show up in iTunes but does appear in My Computer

    When I connect my 2nd Generation iPod touch to my laptop it will not appear in iTunes. It does, however, appear in my Computer.
    I have worked through all of the troubleshooting guides on the Apple Support section, and have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice.
    This message appears every time I plug my iPod in, and frequently whilst it is still plugged in charging:
    'MobileMe Service has stopped working.' This is a pop-up window produced by Windows, I know this is the 'service' that picks up an iPod's prescence but stopping and restarting the service does nothing. My iPod still won't show up.
    Please help, I am willing to faff around a bit. Might it be a problem with Windows itself? If so, how would I go about fixing it?
    Thanks in advance,
    P.S I have the latest version of iTunes, and the operating system of my iPod is 4.2.1.
    My version of Windows Vista is 32-bit.

    I have the same problem with my 2nd gen itouch.
    I've tried other computer and my childrens iPods work on my computer so not a windows problem.  I've tried reinstalling iTunes and resetting itouch as per apple support pages but nothing, it doesn't even show on my computer. Any help greatly appreciated :-)

  • Ipod touch won't show up in Itunes

    I have an Ipod Touch and it shows up as internal storage in Windows 8.1 on HP laptop, but won't show up in Itunes no matter what. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes, deleting the contents of the temp folder, changing USB ports, and changing user accounts in Windows and it still won't show up in Itunes. However, it will show up in Itunes on a different computer with Windows 7.

    Did you remove and reinstall all Apple software. not just iTunes?
