New iPod Touch 3G does not appear in iTunes Devices

My iPod touch 3G is out of warranty but brand new / never used until today. I connected it with sync USB cable and opened iTunes but "Devices" did not appear on the iTunes menu so I cannot even register the iPod in order to download music. I know the cable and iTunes [latest version] on my computer are OK because when i plugged in my friends iPod everything was OK -'Devices' appears in iTunes.

Welcome to the discussions,
make sure it is charged and try to connect in recovery mode, shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

i have an iPod stuck on recovery mode and doesn't get recognized by the iTunes and i can't see it on Finder either but it gets charged ... i tried to use it on a PC windows 7 and the pc doesn't even beep when i connect the usb.... i use the most updated iTunes and all my usb ports are 2.0 i tried to put it on DFU mode.. still no luck! so i am stuck at this recovery mode screen...but i noticed something that when i start the iPod and once it leaves the the apple screen at the top left and the middle the word ipod and the time appears for less than a second and then disappears again! but the battery indicator is still their.... any suggestions?!!!

My iPod touch is doing the exact same thing! I don't know why its doing this because I've had it for nearly 2 years and its connected before. Ive reinstalled iTunes twice and done a system restore on my computer and nothing has worked and now my ipod is stuck on the screen with the digram telling me to connect my ipod to itunes

IPad does not appear in iTunes Devices list

My MacBook Pro, iPhone, and iPad are all on the same network, however my iPad frequently does not appear in iTunes Devices when not physically connected by USB. No problem with my iPhone. Anyone else with this problem? Any solution? (Yes, all OS/iTunes softwares are current.)
Further detail, to temporarily fix this issue, I physically connect my iPad via USB to sync it. Temporarily the iPad will be seen in the device list allowing sycing to occur while remotely charging, but at some random time later my iPad is no longer found by iTunes - again without the physical USB link. So, yes there is a work around, but it is annoying to be so up and down with this feature.
Any ideas are appreciated.

Hello popsicles,
This first article should be helpful in getting iTunes to recognize your iPad once more:

If the device is still disabled once it's appeared in iTunes again, please reference this second article:

Brand new ipod Touch (8GB) does not work with DHCP

I have a brand new iPod Touch (8GB) that will not work using DHCP. No matter what I do (reset router, reset ipod) the DHCP still doesn't work. I can manually setup an IP/Gateway/netmask/etc. and it works but I really need the DHCP to work if at all possible. I'm using a Linksys WRT54G. I was able to use an old Linksys wireless router and the touch gets an IP, etc. with no problems but I can not get my Touch to work with the WRT54G. Any ideas?

its possible to have a bad power supply that has too much AC ripple on the output which can make the screen do weird things

My new earpods that came with my new iPod Touch 5 does not plug in?

My NEW earpods do not plug in all the way! There is static when I plug it in! It won't let menplug it in all the way no matter how hard I pushed. When I plug it in (as far as it goes) all I hear is static! And then it stops. But sometimes it works but then the sound starts to go out from the speakers.

Definitely sounds like a hardware problem, probably with the jack. Set up an appontment at the the Genius bar of the Apple Store.

My ipod touch 5 does not sync to itunes and does not let me add music to my ipod

when i connect my ipod to my computer it doesn't let me sync or add music. i tried connecting it to a different computer but it still doesn''t work. when i connect any other devices like my phone and ipad it syncs and adds music but it doesn't work for my ipod. when i go into my ipod and into on this ipod there is no button on the top right hand corner that lets you add music and when i drag music into my ipod it doesn't add.

Hi Catherine,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
There are several ways to get music on your iPod, you'll have to enable the Manually manage music and videos to drag and drop. The article below provides more information and will walk you through the process.

Ipod 160g does not appear on itunes but it appears on windows when in disk mode

my ipod 160 g does not appear in itune (disk mode or not) but it appears in windows as IPOD (F:) only when it's in disk mode. I tried reseting it by holding the menu and center button it stop but then it goes back to the apple logo screen and stay on untill the battery dies and nothing else happens how can I reset it to is factory settings?

When you connect it in Disk Mode, leave it charging the iPod Battery till Full Charge.
In the meantime, 30 minutes or so into the charging, ( I just want the Ipod to have sufficient power for any harddisk Operation)
go to Window Explorer (or My Computer),
Select the Ipod, right click properties, ->tools->error checking->Check Now->fix error
After the error fixing (may take a while but then you still have to wait till the battery charging is complete.)
Disconnect the iPod from the PC.
Antivirus has a tendency to freeze Itunes sync Operation with Ipod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your Ipod filesystem, so when iTunes cant read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your Ipod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete. - Done above
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your Ipod to the PC
When Itunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
Good Luck! and have a Nice Day!
