My PC won't recognize my ipod touch, though it charges fine.

It's very strange. My Ipod touch charges fine as if the computer recognizes it. In device manager it does not show up at all as any type of device. It doesn't show up on my computer or anything. I have reinstalled itunes a couple of times now and tried restarting the programs in service. I've tried restarting my ipod, checked all the usb connections. Still not sure what's going on. On another computer it works perfect. Yet this computer will only charge the ipod.

Well, now I feel like an idiot. I was using TWO CORDS. Ya, don't make my mistake. The one I had a problem with was made by a company that was not apple, and it was for CHARGING. I bought it with charger, and that's all it can do. It doesn't send data like the real cable. So, check your usb cables. :S

  • New version itunes (Dec 2012) won't recognize my ipod touch.

    Since installing new itunes on computer, the program won't recognize my ipod.  It does recognize my daughter's iphone.  I've gone through several troubleshooting lists, restarting devices and doing everything recommended.  I did a tutorial to help me recognize the new features and the one that's supposed to be there for my device just isn't.
    Help?

    I've had the same problem. Go in and unplug all devices.Go to Control panel> Uninstall programs> Uninstall all programs accotiated with Mac ****If you are Windows**** (Itunes,Itunes update,Ipod touble shoot). Just go into list a separt by Developer and click on each and uninstall each by apple/ Macintosh, what ever yours says. Restart Download the newest version of itunes then. It should work.
    P.S. Where are you from? ( What state?)

  • ITunes won't recognize my iPod Touch 2G

  • ITunes won't recognize my iPod touch after a failed update--my iPod is stuck on the "plug into itunes" screen

    Yesterday, I had bought myself an ipod touch and it was working just fine until today when I went along with an itunes prompt to update my ipod.  It failed to update and now won't recognize it, I checked to see if it was recognized by my computer--and it is, but a thing pops up that says "access denied" whenever I try to click on it.  The screen on my ipod is stuck wanting me to connect to itunes.

  • Itunes on my Macbook (circa 2008) won't recognize newest ipod touch softwar

    I have a macbook from April of 2008 which has the latest version of itunes 10.10.01. I have apps that i've purchased from the itunes store (including a $20 german-english translator that i DESPERATELY need for class). I recently restored my ipod to factory settings because I was experiencing issues with it charging properly.
    Now i've had the german app for over a year before the restore and it worked just fine. But now my computer and itunes keeps telling me that the app needs the latest version of ipod touch software in order to sync the app. When I click "check for updates" on the ipod screen it claims that my ipod touch software is up to date - but lists it as 2.2.1!!
    I know that the lastest version of ipod software is MUCH later than 2.2.1 but I can't seem to convince my itunes of this. Someone help me out please! I've done everything I can think of but my itunes is up to date and i NEED the app.
    Much appreciated!!

    As mentioned by IIIaass, connect to iTunes and check for updates for your ipod, see how to here: http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/software-update/
    If iTunes says that 2.2.1 is the latest software for your ipod, this may imply that iTunes recognizes your ipod as 1st generation ipod. See also this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052 and try if you can update to iOS3.1

  • Itunes won't recognize my ipod touch

    i've recently bought a new laptop with windows 7 64-bit. when I installed the itunes for 64bit to my computer and tried to synchronize it with my ipod, nothing appeared
    I figure it out that this computer somehow recognize my ipod as a digital camera.
    so i surfed throught the web to find the solution for this another itunes error
    i figured out that going into device manager and updating the apple ipod will fix this problem.
    so i did following: right-click 'apple ipod', -> click 'browse my computer for driver software', -> click 'let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer' -> click 'have disk' (in the model box, it says "MTP USB device"), and then it told me to insert the disk, so i browse through my computer and found  "usbaapl64" in inf format which is what i need, so i clicked open then ok, but this thing appears that says "the folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with windows for x64-based systems."
    im literally panicing.
    i tried reinstalling the itunes, repairing it put it doesnt do anything.
    i know i downloaded the itunes for 64bit users and that i opened usbaapl file with '64' at the end.
    please help me, i really need to synchronize my ipod

  • IPod touch is stuck on "connect to iTunes" but iTunes won't recognize my iPod touch

    So I was trying to update my iPod touch and left the room, thinking I had plenty of time to get stuff done while I waited. When I returned there was a warning saying that my iPod touch couldn't be updated and my iPod screen was stuck on the "connect to iTunes". I tried reconnecting and iTunes will not recognize it. I've tried restarting my computer and my iPod and I've tried reinstalling iTunes and restoring my iPod, but nothing is working. Any suggestions?

    - Try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restoring
    - Next try DFU mode.
