My Touch will not show on my desktop or in itunes when connected!

I installed leopard onto my macbook a few weeks ago and updated my itunes about a week ago. Tonight was the first time I plugged my ipod into my computer. Nothing has happened. I've tried using different USB cords and I've restarted both my computer and ipod touch. I've been trying to do some research on how to fix my problem and all I am finding are people with the same problem but there aren't any answers. I saw one person say to force it in idisk. I don't have idisk. Does anyone know of anything that could help me get my touch on my desktop and computer? Please please help.

The iPod Touch does not show up as a Device in the Finder. Only as a Device in iTunes.
Does your version of iTunes support the iPod Touch? Is your Quicktime up to date?

  • IPod Touch will not show up in Windows XP after iTunes 10.2.1 update

    After updating iTunes to 10.2.1 my 4G Touch will not show up in Windows XP to charge or to sync. I have been reading this forum and following the multiple Apple help and troubleshooting steps with no luck. I can get Windows to recognize and charge the Touch as a camera but it will not update the driver for Apple Mobile Device. I have come to the conclusion it is an Apple software problem. Does anyone know where I can get the previous Apple Mobile Device driver for Windows XP? I would like to give that a try. It's really disappointing....

    Upon uninstalling and re-installing all of the Apple software nothing has changed. I can see Apple Mobile Device Support in add/remove programs but when clicking on "repair" it cannot finish and says it encountered a fatal error and no changes have been made.
    The error I get trying to install the driver in Device Manager says "I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request".
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • IPod Touch 3G not showing up on desktop or in iTunes

    I have not had my iPod show up on the desktop for a long time. Now it's not showing up in iTunes. I have tried restarting everything, reinstalling iTunes, & every other suggestion mentioned in support. What else can I try?

    It will not and never has shown on the desktop like other iPods will.
    As for showing up in iTunes, you can try another USB port on your computer, or maybe another dock connector cable, if you have one. If your cable is damaged, you can order a warranty replacement here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
    You might need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service. Check out this article:

  • My ipod touch will not charge, turn on, or appear in itunes, what can i do?

    My ipod touch will not charge, turn on, or appear in itunes, what can i do?
    When i plug it in to my compuer it shows an empty battery with the charge symbol then after a while it shows the apple logo like it is turning on then nothing happens and it goes back to the battery.

    I haven't left it overnight to charge. Is there a difference between letting it charge overnight and an hour or two with no results? The ipod does not even recognize that the cord is attatched.
    I left it on my dresser in my bedroom.

  • IPod Touch will not show up in iTunes...Please Help

    Here is what I know/can remember. My iPod has not worked in 3 months! Not sure at what point it stopped but it worked fine for a year. Now when I plug it in it charges just fine just will not show up in iTunes. Sometimes it shows up as an unknown device on my computer and in the hardware device section shows up as unknown device. Thats all I got. I have tried all kinds of troubleshooting. I have took each little peice off and then reinstalled numerous times. I have even restored my computer back to square one. Still not working! I want to cry. I just want to listen to my podcasts again. They are downloading into Itunes just can't get the Ipod Touch to show up in iTunes...willing to try anything! Please help if you can! I have a 16GB and use XP with SP3. I assume all my hardware is good to go since it worked before and it charges through the USB port!

    here are some general troubleshooting tips to go through, maybe you missed one suggestion. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495 They range from using the assistant up to USB driver installation, Apple Mobile Device Service and checking for available BIOS updates.

  • Ipod touch will not show up in itunes after update 11.1.14.62

    After updating iTunes to 11.1.14.62 my 3 of my 4 devices will not show up in iTunes.  I have two iPod touch devices, an iPhone 4, and an old iPod Shuffle.  The only one that shows up is the iPod Shuffle.    Everything was fine until this latest update.  I've checked with other people and they're having the same issue.  I have Windows 8.1 64 bit.
