New ipod touch 8gb wont read on computer at all...not even in "my computer"

i bought an ipod touch 8gb today and brought it home and downloaded itunes then plugged ipod in...says its got full battery, but on 4 computers, it wont read on any of them using every usb port there was on each computer...ipod wont even show up in "my computer"....what is wrong? i have tried the updating drivers and reinstallling drivers and reinstalling itunes and even going down to itunes 7 and 8 versions but no matter what i do my computers will not read my ipod touch...yes the usb ports do work and are minimum 2.0 and system requirements are exceeded as i have expensive computers...what is wrong

I had the same problem when I bought my Touch 2 months ago. Here is fix I used:

First (MAKE SURE YOUR IPOD ISNT CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER, AND ITUNES IS RUNNING!!) you have to reset it by holding your home and power button. Make sure you slide it to power off. Then as it powers on, hold the home button and connect your ipod to the computer at the same time. (DO NOT LET IT GO FOR ANY REASON) as iTunes loads it, it'll say that your iPod is going into recovery mode. Click ok, and restore it.
It worked for me. Hope it helps...

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

How to simply make the new ipod touch appear on itunes when it have been working in the previous computer (mac)

how to simply make the new ipod touch appear on itunes when it have been working in the previous computer (mac)

If the new computer is a PC see:

Mac OS X v10.6 or later: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart

HT1320 I have a new IPod Touch 5G, 32 gb and suddenly it will not turn on, and will not restore using UTunes. Any help appreciated.

I have tried many times to restore my new IPod Touch 5G in I Tunes and it will not allow me to do it. My Ipod will not turn on at all even when on a fresh charge. Only displays the arrow leading up to ITunes logo. I have tried the method of holding the home button and on button and this does not work. Any help appreciated.
My I Pod was working fine until the day I updated the software to 6.0.1.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device 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.

New ipod touch 8gb. Freezing itunes

I got a new 3rd gen ipod touch (8gb) just then.
I plug it in to my computer go on itunes and go through the steps. Then I reach the last point which says: set up your ipod
then it has name
automatically sync songs to my ipod
automatically sync photos to my ipod
automatically sync applications.
Then there is a done button.
When I press the done button, itunes just freezes. I have to go task manager and kill the process.
Can anyone help!?!?! How do I get past this stage!!
My system specs:
Core i5 750
Gigabyte P55-UD4P (it is a P55 board)
HD4850.
The rest probably doesn't matter but if you need it just ask.

OK, so I think I've got this problem solved, albeit it's not a very good solution.
Firstly, I uninstalled every single piece of Apple related software on my PC.
I then restored my iPod for the third time, although I don't think this will make much of a difference.
I then tried doing the Setup Your iPod screen again where you name it, and it froze. So I thought, "Hey, let's try it on my girlfriend's iTunes." I did, and it worked. I then brought it back over to my PC and it was registered properly. I then tried to sync music and no issues whatsoever, but because it wasn't originally registered to this PC, it wasn't the best solution.
So then I told iTunes to lock the iPod down to the iTunes on this PC (the one that wasn't working). It worked, but then when I tried to sync it froze up at the end of syncing, at the end of the very last song. I figured, let's try something random as a workaround: I add the songs manually to the iPod Touch but I cancel the sync at the very last song - it works! This means that it will be a bit of a pain to sync songs (I will probably have to make a few fake song files so that it will be able to sync my whole library) but this is much better than it not working at all, or having to use the iTunes program on my gf's laptop and have a second library and login there, while using files off of the network which will add to syncing time/be a hassle.
So, it's not the best solution, but it works. Please let me know how it works for you.

I bought a new ipod touch to replace my old one that did not have icloud. How do I erase my old ipod?

I just purchased a new ipod touch to replace my old ipod touch. The reason I bought a new one is I wanted one that had the icloud that I could sync to my ipad and iphone. I am going to give my old one to my husband. I plugged my new ipod touch into my computer and put my musice library on it. I then tried to clear my old ipod touch. I went to General Settings and told it that I wanted to clear the ipod touch. It went thru a few things and then it said to plug it into itunes. I do not understand why? On my itunes it does not list two ipod touch's on there as devices, so I am scared it I plug the new one into itunes it will clear both. Please help!

Yeah, what planb77 said.
Just connect your iPod to your computer, let iTunes come up, and then select Restore to Factory Settings. This will clear off every thing and install the current version of iOS for that generation. You can name the device and then set up iTunes to synch the items you choose.
If you have more than one computer, let hubby set up his own iTunes account and Apple ID so you don't get your stuff mixed up.

Is the new Ipod Touch 8gb the same as the 4th generation?

Hi, I'm looking into getting the Ipod Touch 5th generation 8gb. I have the 3rd generation 8gb and I found that this was pretty much the same as the 2nd generation, so when I tried to update to the new iOS at the time, it only had limited features, while the 32GB+ versions had the full set. It even comes up that I have a 2nd generation Ipod touch registered to my account, whereas I paid for a 3rd generation model -.-
I dont really need 32GB so I was wondering whether I'd have the same problem with the 8GB 5th generation when a new iOS update comes out. Thanks

- You said: " I have the 3rd generation 8gb ". You have a 2G iPod Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. When Apple introduced the 3G iPods, the 8 GB 2G iPod but with updated iOS was continued to be sold.
- There is not 5G iPod touchyet. The ones introduced in October 2011 are sill 4G iPod but with a less expenisve price and also available in white. There is not confusion like there was when the 3G iPod was introduced.

I have an iphone 4 and i just bought an ipod touch 5th gen. I need to sync everything from my iphone 4 to my new ipod touch. Please read description beloew for further.

I have an iphone 4 16 gb and got an ipod touch 64 gb because i needed more momory. i need to sycn everything from my iphone 4 to my ipod touch 5th gen i just bought. i just downloaded the latest version of itunes as well. To be honest, the newest version of itunes is hard to use and not as user friendly in my opinion - or i may not know how to use it yet. Anyways, i tried to backup my iphone to itunes and then restore my new ipod from the backup of the iphone 4, but it only backed up phoyos, contacts, and two other things (games was not one of them). Then when I restored my ipod, that is all that downloaded onto the ipod as well. I would really appreciate if someone would be able to provide me with detailed instructions as to how to be able to download everything from my iphone 4 to my ipod touch 5th generation. Thanks in advance!

Well first you need to sync your iPhone 4 with your Mac/PC so that it will transfer all your music, apps, podcasts, etc. Then sync your iPod Touch and the media you selected during the sync should be there on your iPhone. If you have difficulty in transferring media from iPhone to your computer, try softwares like TransCopy. They will help in transferring data from your iphone to your computer. Dont forget to check that all the transferred data is in the iTunes media folder so that the iTunes can locate the files. Link to Transcopy software :

New iPod Touch 2g wont charge on Bose soundock

I just upgraded from the original iPod Touch, it worked and charged great on my Bose soundock. Got to work today with my new touch 2g, put it on my Bose soundock and get this message "CHARGING IS NOT SUPPORTED WITH THIS ACCESSORY" The apple store page says that the Bose Soundock is compatible with the 2g Touch. Anybody have some insight??

I just got my iPod touch 2g, took it to work, and I got the SAME error when I tried to plug it into my JBL On Stage II speaker...then I got in my car, only to get the SAME error when I plugged it into my Peripheral iPod car adapter, which is hard-wired into my radio.
***, Apple....this needs to be corrected, immediately!
I called 1800APLCARE and was on the phone with them for 30 minutes, and they could not answer my issues. they told me to try another iPod touch 2g and let them know if it doesn't work as well...obviously this is a bigger problem than just my iPod 2g.
On a side note, i did get a charge when I tried it on a Logitech speaker system...
Please fix this, Apple. What good is this in my car if it won't charge? (and what good is it at work?)

Ok. have new ipod touch. it wont sync only charge. i have reset all my settings. its asking me to set up as new ipod or restore from itunes backup?? i have snow leopard and version 10 of itunes. oh and a headache!!!

ipod touch wont sync
i have reset it(no)
snow leopard OS
vers. 10 i tunes
just charges????
i have another ipod nano synced in with my itunes
would this be a factor?

What happens when you try?
Error message?
What does it say?
