My ipod wont register it syncing

Well when i plug in my ipod to my computer. It doesnt show its plugged in at all. I have been having a problem charging it. It wont say its charging but it does. How it charges is it turns on for about 2 mins then it cuts off and charges. Occasionally it will cut on but not very often and when i does cut on it says it has 20 percent. So basically it wont charge unless it charged fully. Any help?

Hey i HAVE/HAD the same problem but right in THIS moment i solved it! And i'm gonna tell you how:
1) You have to uninstall ALL the programs that are from Apple.
2) Go into control panel if you are on a windows and delete everything that says Author (Apple inc.)
3) Here is a list of every thing you have to Uninstall:
Apple application support
Apple mobile device support
Apple software update
Bonjour
iTunes
Quicktime player
Safari
4) After that just go to Apple.com and download the lastest version of iTunes!
5) Install it and sync your iPhone/iPod Touch out of Recovery mode.
i hope that helped you, it sure did to me. bye

Ipod wont register

hi my ipod wont register
when i get to the page saying ipod software licence agremant and click the checkbox nothing happens why is this?

Hello Neal,
There should be a Continue button in the lower right hand corner of the window you need to continue to continue and complete the registration process. If you are unable to see this button, try adjusting your monitor's resolution.

Ipod wont register what songs i have listened to?

i've had an ipod nano for a few years now and it work fine up until a few months ago when it froze on me. i was able to reset it and it still works but i have recently noticed that when i connect my ipod to my computer to charge it wont register want songs i have listened to (for example the play count or when it was last played) it's not much of a problem cause i can still listen to it but i was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

Your sync settings may have changed. I have my ipod to NOT automatically sync and it never tells iTunes how many times I have played the song. But because I have my iPhone sync, it tells the computer how many times I listen to the songs.
I do not know if this will help you, but it may point you in the right direction.

Did you try the 5 R's? The first one is hold down the Menu button and the select button for 6 to 10 seconds until the apple logo appears. if it doesn't work, try it a few more times.

My ipod wont register on my itunes

so here's the deal.. i've rebooted my ipod and everytime i plug it in to my computer it goes through the whole scan disk mode and it comes back with a checkmark but my computer wont recognize it or something. i'd really appreciate some help getting it up and working again. do i need to get a new ipod updater on my computer or does anyone out there have any ideas what i should do. thanks oh and its not for windows actually i didnt mean to post it in this forum.. sorry

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 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. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen 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."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Ipod wont start but syncs normally

I have a problem that seemed to arrive about the same time as Apple updated iTunes to 5.0. My iPod Photo 60gb wont start up to play music anymore. It shows a picture signaling some error and the URL to Apples support site (apple.com/support/ipod) for a few seconds, then shuts of. Apples site gives no clues as to what's the matter though.
The strange thing is that the iPod seems to be working ok when connected to the Mac. It syncs normally and seems to be working as a harddisk.
I have tried a hard reset holding down those two buttons but this does not resolve the problem. I have also tried to download the latest software for the iPod from Apples website, but this won't install.
Does anyone know what to do?

Well... my iPod is not starting at all. even after the steps this tutorial told me to do. i was trying to pick a song on my iPod and then all of a sudden it froze for about 3 minutes and then shut off. and i havent been able to turn it on since. the battery was charged and not low. i tried toggling the hold button and hitting reset even while it was charging with the battery and still nothing. all i hear is the iPod going "vroooom beep" over and over. like its trying to start but cant. its been doing that for almost 12hrs and i dont know what else to do. please help.

Ipod touch not working at all and wont register to charge...help!!

My son has a 4th gen. ipod touch. He had it on sleep mode for an hour and now it isnt working at all. It wont turn on and it wont register when we try to charge it. Any suggestions on whats wrong with it??

READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE!!!
Hi there have a simple answer that works(i did it on my friends iPod touch 4 gen)
Plug the iPod into your sons iPod doc or wall adapter ...NOT PC OR MAC... And hold the sleep and menu button for THIRTY seconds.... This will wipe the iPod clear and will also leave it blank then do not use it at all in anyway shape or form. Wait for ios5 to come out( October the 12th 2011) and then Plug it into your PC or Mac that you originally had it synced with and it will work

My ipod touch 5G wont charge OR SYNC!! what do i do???

hello, I am in desperate need of help. My ipod wont charge or hook up to my computer.
My old ipod charger broke so i got a new cheaper off-brand one, and shortly after i plugged it in it told me that this cable was not registered and it may not work with the ipod. Well, it didnt. it would not charge nor sync with my computer. but anyway, my dad took it back and whilst i was using his, the same message appeared on my screen. Now it wont sync or charge with the apple charger. WHAT DO I DO!?!?!?!?

I think this is no longer an iOS issue; it's more of a hardware problem now.
The problem was probably caused by using a non-original charger. These aren't genuinely from Apple, so they may not have been manufactured the right way. They may have deformed or unaligned the pins inside your iPod's charging socket. Because I think it's kind of impossible for the charger to cause any software problems.
Bring your iPod to a nearby Apple store as soon as you can! Have somebody take a look and determine what the real problem is.

When I plug in my ipod it comes up with an error saying, "ipod "Skye" cannot be synced, duplicate file name specified." it wont let me put any songs on my ipod? Help!

my computer deleted all of my songs off my ipod one time with i unplugged it, i think i unplugged it too soon and it wasn't finished ejecting. now every time i plug it in it gives me an error saying "the ipod 'Skye' cannot be synced, a duplicate file name was specified." It wont let me put any songs on my ipod now.

Never mind. I found out how to fix the problem
- Go to "Computer"
- Right click on your IPod icon
- Click "Properties"
- Go to the "Tools" tab
- Under "Error -checking" cilck the "Check now..." button
After doing all of that, ITunes now works like normal for me.

My brand new ipod touch 4th gen wont let me sync new songs to it

I just got my new ipod touch 4th gen 2 days ago and it wont let me sync any new songs to it and it wont let me take any songs off it either. Ive tried rebooting it and restoring it serveral times and nothing seems to work. Also I updates my itunes and still nothing. HELP

What specific attributes (resolution, frame rate, bit-rate, audio forma etc.),do the mp4 videos have? There are many variations in the mp4 format. Have you tried using the Create iPod and iPhone version in the Advanced tab of iTunes?
