My iTouch 4g isn't recognised by iTunes, computer finds it fine but iTunes won't?
I have an iTouch 4g and it's worked fine since I got it with iTunes. Just yesterday it suddenly stopped syncing to iTunes. The computer recognises it and pulls up a window asking me what I want to do next, but iTunes just doesn't realise it's there. We have no problems with the computer as far as I can see, but it is a bit slow at the moment. Don't know if that means anything?
The iTouch is on software 4:1 (October 2010 was the last upgrade) and the iTunes is the most recent upgrade.
Do you use windows? Try uninstall itunes, restart your computer and then reinstall itunes?

My Apple TV 2 isn't recognised in iTunes.
Hi,
My Apple TV 2 isn't recognised in iTunes and checking the support pages the solution appears to be to get a Bonjour update download, only problem is where do I get this download as I can't find it anywhere. Second problem may be linked to the first, I am not able to connect to homesharing and when I try my ATV tells me that I am using the incorrect Apple ID or password which is not the case.
Please help as I am desperate to resolve these issues so that I can start enjoying my new toy.
Cheers,
MichaelHi Rudegar,
Thanks for the post however the download you sent me to is for Windows (see below) I am running Snow Leopard on an iMac. Could anyone help with this as this is still not resolved.

Hi. Last week, in this hot weather, my ipod (8gb, 4g) started flickering , screen went white and then it died! Left it off for 24 hrs to cool down and eventually it powered up again. Thing is, I needed to charge it and so put it on a dock but it wouldn't charge. Tried a diff dock, ac charger and apple usb cable to my laptop and nothing. Battery nearly completely drained, just get the flashing battery with lightning symbol when I press the on button. Not recognised by itunes or my computer and all the advice says to charge it and try again but mine doesn't seem to be charging despite being on a charger for several hours! Tried pressing on and home keys together for diff periods of time (up to 5 mins once) but still nothing. Not even getting to the apple logo stage Can someone out there please help me??
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Also
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My itouch 2G isn't recognized by any computer
hello ,i' ve had this itouch for over 3 years now and the cable finally died so i got a new one and i already had a couple of errors in itunes but i could still sync ; now it isn't recognized by anything (tried 2 computers and my PS3 the systems don't even know it's there) but it still charges up . I've trieD everything on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 but it won't even show up on the The Device Manager not even as "unknown device" . All that's left is to check my cable but it' brand new so i don't know.
I tried VISTA ANd Win7- Did you try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod look for abnormalities like bent of broken contacts, foreign material or cracked or broken plastic. The iPod uses different contact for syncing and charging. -
How do I get CDs that have been imported into my iTunes library to sync/transfer to my iPhone?? All the material that I purchased from iTunes has transferred just fine, but although the CDs will import to iTunes, they will not sync up with my phone. How do I do this?? I am very frustrated and would greatly appreciate any help.
In what format did you import the cds?
I have never had an issue with this. -
I have the latest version of Itunes and I've tried reinstalling it but it made no difference. I recently got a new laptop (a toshiba, windows 8) and downloaded itunes onto it and logged in because I have the same itunes account on other laptops. Syncing is not a problem on the other laptops.
When I plug my ipod into this one, it just says its connected, thats all. Furthermore, I don't have the option to sync using the Devices tab in File because it isn't highlighted when I plug it in.
I have tried other things that have been suggested for problems like these, but nothing seems to be working. I'm wondering if its just because my ipod isn't registered or something. If so, does anyone know how to do that?
Thank you so much in advance for reading this. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.Hi Dave9598,
