Needing Serious iPod Touch Help!!!

Hi. I have an iPod touch and when i connect it to itunes it says it cant reconize the iphone, but its not an iphone, so the ipod icon doesnt show up on the side, therefore i cannot sync my ipod after the purchases i have bought. Any solutions?

Nothing is seeming to work. Today i plugged it in, and the iPod icon showed up, and then dissappeared, and said i had to restore my ipod, so i did, but it said it could not restore my iPod.
PS- We found out we had an "intruder" on our computer (or a hacker..?), but we removet it/them. (if thats any help)

Ever heard of Google?

I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I upgraded to lion. I tried to buy an audio book and download it to my nano like I have done at least 50 times before. Now the dialog box states that I need an ipod touch for the same function. MacBook Pro 2008 w/ m.trac

I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I recently upgraded to Lion which is causing lots of issues. Aside from that, I went to the Itunes store to purchase books like I have done at least 100 times before with no problems. Now I can by the book and get it to my computer, however when I tried to download the book to my 3rd generation ipod the dialog box informed me that to download any new audiobook purchases I would need an ipod touch. My ipod nano 3rd generation serves my purposes just fine. Why should I be forced to buy something I do not want just to continue something I have always done seamlessly? I know this is more of a rant than a question but I am sure someone else out there has had this happen to them. Maybe you could share your thoughts on how to work around this issue if possible?

I forgot to add the last obvious and crucial step I had taken - plugging a different iPod into my system. It was also not recognized. That was the final proof I needed to determine if the problem was device or system. But now what?
I truly appreciate any help I can get!
Thanks again...

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You need to download and install the latest version of iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Ambie12, You should probably start a new thread for your issue if downloading iTunes 7.5 doesn't help.
Coolmaxx, have a read of this article:

Serious Lag with OS4 update on 8gb iPod Touch, help with firmware rollback

Hey all,
I updated my 8gb 3rd Gen iPod Touch to the 4.0 OS today and now i'm experiencing serious lag with everything. I want to roll back to an earlier OS, say 3.1.2 or 3.2 but I cant find anywhere to download a copy, its like apple force you to update then leave you fending for yourself with no options to download previous versions.
Can anyone help?
Any other 8gb Touch owners having similar issues? Really not worth it just for folders and spell check...
Oh and Apple should be disgusted at how hard it is to find the link to make your own topics on this site, I'm a fairly skilled user and I was chasing my tail for a good 30min...
Firstly **** this place makes it hard to find how to post a topic

I find it comical that EVERYONE was complaning about the lost of features for 2nd gen ipod touchs, yet even now people complain of lag issues, imagine if apple DID put multi tasking and wallpaper on the 2nd gen.

Haha, I think its because of the logic we are using, cause I am a skilled user as well, and I had never attempted to make a topic here before either, I spent 10 mins looking and gave up lol.

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 and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

App Store not working on 1st gen iPod touch HELP NEEDED!!!

I have a 1st Generation iPod touch and I have been using App Store very often to download apps. I do not have my iPod syched to my computer, so I cannot download apps with it. I just use my iPod's app store. Up until the other day, it has been working. I tried to download an app, but it showed no screen shots, and by tapping the price to download it, it did not do anything. It did this on every app I tried. Every time I try to download an app, it doesn't work. Is it because my iPod is so old? What is the problem?

Try resetting the iPod..
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, try here > Apple - Support - iPod touch Troubleshooting Assistant

SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!

I was having the same problem with my iPod Touch and my XP machine. I'd plug in my ipod touch and itunes wouldn't recognize it no matter what I did. After having to reset and restore the ipod (which clears the disk) a few times. I found another way to get it going. The problem was with itunes and not the ipod. I opened up the Task Manager and found that while the itunes application was closed it was still running in the processes, if I closed it there then it would recognize the touch again. Once I had it back up, I turned off the "Open iTunes When This iPod Is Connected" option and haven't had a problem since. Also, always be sure to properly eject the touch through iTunes before unplugging it, as that might create the same problem.

IPod touch help needed

My son's ipod touch appears to be frozen. The screen just shows a continual circular pattern in the center and when I try to connect it to my computer it gives me the message "iTunes could not connect to the iPod because an invalid response was received from the device". Please help!

try resetting it. Hold down the home and sleep key, past when you see the red slider and until you see the silver apple. See if that'll reboot it.
You shouldn't lose any data or info. The reset is just a forced reboot and often clears up glitches.
If it won't reboot then you may have a bigger issue.

I need iPod touch help! ASAP!

My iPod touch keeps freezing over and over even after I hold down both buttons!!!!! I hold down both buttons then it works for awhile....then it goes right back to the white screen!! I've already restored it 4 times!!! I've only have had it for a couple years and no major damage has ever been done. Any other help!!!

Connect in recovery mode, explained here iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore , and set it up "as new device, shown here How to set up your iPhone or iPod touch as a new device
After that don't use the latest backup to restore from, it might contain corrupt files causing your problem.

I dont have safari on my 3rd gen ipod touch help me and i would like to update my ipod to ios 7 if possible please help me..

i need safari on my ipod i had it now it is gone and it is really annoying i cannot download some apps all because of an ios thing i would appreciate it if i could get ios 7 so someone please help me

You may have to consider, if possible, a visit to an Apple Store with Genius
bar. Usually it's best to try & set an appointment. If you know an actual Store
you may call and ask if they can help you set a time to discuss this issue so
as to save you some trouble with using the online Genius bar scheduling.
Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
Visit an Apple Retail Store
Find Locations - Country Selector - Apple: https://locate.apple.com/country
The iPod Touch you have may not accept the latest iOS8.x system, so if you
have older marginal Apps, they would not work and may not have equal or
similar replacements under the latest iOS version. iOS7 may not be available
and if you should upgrade to iOS8, you probably won't be able to revert back.
After looking around Support online, I do not see a method of restoring Safari
but your device may have one built-in to it; perhaps part of a reset process.
I am not certain... There are some items you may have to attach the Touch to
a computer and use it to see about updates or replacement software.
http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
To ask a knowledgeable product specialist, and have the iPod Touch model
and serial number handy, may be the best way to go. Expect that with any
upgrade to a newer iOS system software, old apps won't work and new ones
that could be available, may not look, feel or act in the same way as old ones.
Good luck & happy computing!

Refurbished iPod Touch Help Please?

Hello,
I'm considering purchasing two of the iPod Touch for my wife and I for Christmas. Considering that the cheapest one is $229, I thought about the refurbished ones that are selling a lot cheaper and I'm interested in maybe getting those.
I found the refurbished iPod Touch here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/FA623LL/B?mco=MTgwNjk1Mw&fnode=home%2Fspeciald eals%2Fipod%2Frhs
My question to anyone who knows about this is the following:
1) Are these iPods different from the ones out now? Like, do these iPod Touch's still have the built-in speaker and other standard features? Or is this a previous generation iPod Touch? I'm not even aware if there's been other generation iPod Touch's since iPod Touch is still pretty new.
2) Has anyone had experience with buying refurbished items from Apple before? Were you satisfied?
I'm really more interested in figuring out if these refurbs are the same iPod Touch generation out now. I know they've been bought before and fixed up for whatever reason, but for my budget, this would really satisfy my needs. If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I purchased a refurb original iPod touch from Apple. No problems, but it was slightly scratched on the back when it arrived.
The refurb ones appear to be the original ones (look at the size of the unit). They lack the external speaker and volume buttons, and I think they have a slightly different body design. But they can make some noise (i.e., alarms). The screen seems to be the same, and wifi speed is the same.
Hope this helps.

HT203180 VIDEO NOT SHOWING ON IPOD TOUCH HELP ME!!!!!!

Yesterday I decided to download some DVDs onto my ipod touch, newest generation if that helps. So i bought a DVD - itunes converter from mac app store and it converted the DVDs for me. I could see them on my itunes but when I tried to put them on my ipod a little message came up saying 'this video is not suitable for your ipod' or something like that. It turned out It had been programmed to play on an ipad. So I re-downloaded the movie, clicking the box that said 'ipod touch' and it worked, fine, I could see it in my itunes. HOWEVER when I dragged the movie onto my device no message came up this time but it isn't showing on my ipod!!! I can'y sync it because its my whole familys and has about a billion of my dads songs and about 100 'learn the alphabet' apps for my little brother. It would take me so long to delete everything.
I really hope you can help, because I am going on a 12 hour journey tommorow and I need to entertain myself in the car.
Thanks p.s think its ios 6 but could be 6.1 or 6.2

Hi Eliecer,
Does the movie show up on a music video playlist, under Music? You can highlight the video in iTunes and choose Get Info, from the File menu, to change or view the video Kind.
Was the movie purchased from the iTunes Store?
Try resetting the iPod touch by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
If the issue persists, restore the iPod as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

Ipod touch help me

I have an ipod video already and I am considering about getting the newer ipod touch. But I have a dock for the ipod video and I don't have the money to get a new dock and the touch... would the touch work on a dock that support all the other ipods? I haven't seen an ipod touch yet so I need to know if it would work with what I've got. Help me Plaese.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If it's a Universal Dock you can remove the 5th Gen iPod dock adaptor (No 9. or 10) and use the supplied dock adaptor with the iPod touch:

Remember that the iPod touch plays video in landscape so the dock isn't so useful if that respect. A small stand is included with iPod touch.
