My ipod touch wont charge nor will the computer recognize it as an ipod

my iPod touch wont charge when connected to my lab top but it isnt the usb cord or port because it works for a different iPod and my computer wont recognize my ipod.

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.

Why will my iPad 2 not recognize any iPod cables? I have tried two different cables in both the wall and in my laptop, but it will not register that it is receiving power, nor will the laptop recognize that they are connected.

Crizzo is right, the best way to charge is with the included power block. That said, the USB cords are interchangable as far as an of us know. (just not power bricks, iPhone and iPod bricks put out 5W of power, the iPad wants 10W and will always say 'not charging' if plugged into less power than it requires even though it will charge, just very slowly)
If you have tried to charge your iPad - with the iPad charger - with multiple cables and multiple computers and get no joy then it's time to head to the apple store and have them check it out. The 30 pin USB port can go bad - mine did - and it's a manufacturer's defect (unless there's any sort of obvious damage) and should be covered under the warranty;

First try this:
- Go on iTunes computer
- plug in the iPod
- authorize your device from store/authorize
- iPod / transfer from iPod by right clicking on the left pane
This will only transfer iTunes purchased music, not ripped CDs. and it is unnecessary now, as the music can just be downloaded from the cloud.

Respond please!

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then see if you can redownload your past music purchases (those that are still in the store) via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you are not in a country where music can currently be re-downloaded, then have you not got it on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

This usually indicates you really have a 2nd gen unit. Check the model number on the back. A1288 is 2nd gen. A1318 is 3rd gen.

To get iTunes to see your iPod:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or

When I plug in my IPOD Nano into a USB port, the computer recognizes it as a printer. It then attempts to install the printer software, which is already installed. The only way to fix it is to unplug the printer. Any thoughts?

Turn the printer off.

My iPod touch wont charge or turn on?

My iPod touch was not fully charged but it had some charge and then it just turned off and now it won't turn back on. I plugged my iPod touch into charge and the red battery and lightning symbol comes on but that is still there a couple of hours later. If I unplug it it, is just a black screen and no matter what I do nothing happens. I can't turn it on and I have tried several different chargers that work for other devices so it is not the charger. I am abroad so I haven't got my laptop to see if it will charge that way or be detected in iTunes. I have tried resetting it and restarting it but nothing seems to be working. Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it? Any suggestions would be nice. Thank you.

Back up first (Time machine) as much as possible.
Un-install and re install Itunes.
First and foremost download the updated iTunes from apple website. After downloading Uninstall itunes and all its component ( Dont worry, itunes library where your movies and music is located will not be deleted.

Movies downloaded to iPod touch won't play on the computer when transferred over.

The movies I bought from an iPod touch , and then transferred to my computer using iTunes will not play. They give error code 2401 on QuickTime an say stuff like invalid codec, invalid sample description, etc. I'm very upset because I paid for these movies and I should be able to watch them! I've tried recouping them to my computer but nothing so far has worked. Pleeeease help me.

Have you converted the movie file to the correct Extention to play on the PC?
Go to the info panel of the file in iTunes and make sure it ends in ".mov", ".m4v", or ".mp4" those are playable in QuickTime Player.
