Nothing happens when I plug my Ipod in...?

My first Ipod touch broke the other day so I went to the Apple store today and had it replaced. They said whenever I get home just plug it in to the computer and it should sync fine..I did so, nothing happened. After I already had Itunes up I plugged in my ipod and it made that noise it makes whenever you plug it in then nothing happened at all. I tried going under file and syncing Ipod and it won't let me click on the sync ipod link. I have no idea whats wrong. I know my itunes account is activated under a different email address than the one I gave them at my store when they gave me my knew one because I just recently got a new email. I tried changing my email under my itunes account and it said it changed but when I went on again to try it was still the same old email. I really don't think the email thing has anything to do with it but I can't figure out why it won't sync at all. Help please!

Well start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

Also you might try forcing the iPod into disk mode first, then connecting it to your computer and see if that makes it show up in iTunes...

  • I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb

    I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb cord and Ipod into my laptop. Its mac so it is an apple system. I am wondering how I can fix this problem I am not very good with techy stuff so this is very confusing how it was working and it just stopped.

    Hi johnsmiff99,
    That is never fun when your iPod touch does not show up on your Mac. Take a look at the article below to walk you through on getting it to show back up on your iTunes. It is very easy to read so you wont feel overwhelmed with to much techy jargon. Let me know if you get this worked out.

  • I've downloaded iTunes on this computer but now nothing happens when I plug my phone in the USB port.

    I had a software update on my phone and tapped it to start the update then decided to cancel it. Now it will not let me back in my phone and has a picture that is telling me to plug into iTunes. I had to download iTunes on this computer first because it wasnt on this computer. It has downloaded, but nothing happens when i plug my phone up to the USB port in my computer. The picture telling me to plug into iTunes is still on my phone.

    Try carefully following the steps outlined in this Apple support document to put your iPad into recovery mode.

  • HT1476 sos, nothing happens when I connect the ipod touch to the laptop. No charge, no turn on.  any clue?

    The I pod has gone blank and when I connect the USB wire to the laptop, nothing happens.  no sound, no power to turn on the I pod.
    how do you know if the battery is at life end.  We just got this within a year.
    please help.
    thanks

    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 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.

    Hi Chefd,
    The USB port is not replaceable. I am glad to hear you have gotten it installed. If you have issues with connectivity you may want to consider buying a newer printer. Have a good day

  • HP VT501AA USB Stereo Headset nothing happens when I plug them in

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium on an HP s3712f desktop.
    My sister's computer.
    She bought this headset a while back and could never get it to work.  I thought I'd give it another try.
    When you insert it into the USB port nothing happens and I can find no mention of the device anywhere in the system.  It's like the computer doesn't recognize that it's been plugged in or maybe I need a driver (hp doesn't have any on their site though, I've checked).
    Anyway, if snyone knows how I might fix this it would be appreciated.  It's not a huge concern but it bugs me that it doesn't work.  If nothing else I could use the thing at work.

    tcrowe30,
    What model HP PC are you using?
    Gadgetgal,
    It might be a setting in the Realtek HD Audio Manager or perhaps you need a driver update.  Go to www.realtek.com for the latest audio driver.
    BTW, I have the 2159 connected via HDMI and when I plugin my headset the speakers go silent.

  • HT1476 How do I get my iPhone 5 charger to charge my phone? Nothing happens when i plug it in.

    My Iphone 5 won't charge when i plug it in, there is no message to say it isn't recognised or anything it just won't charge. I replaced my charger and am still having the same problem, could someone please help me.

    Hi Luci,
    If the iPhone that you are attempting to charge has the battery completely deleted of all charge it will take a period of time before the charge that is coming from the charging source gives the device enough charge to the device such that the display is able to then display that the charger is charging sucessfully. If you plug the device into a charger (again if the device is completely drained of battery charge) and it doesn't immedateily show that it's chraging that is completely consistent with how the device is expected to work. Please allow the device to charge for a period of at least a couple of hours before determining that the charger isn't working correctly. Hope this helps.
    Good luck.

  • Nothing happening when I plug nano in for the first time- no "source" tab

    I have a 2nd generation 4GB nano, brand new. I used to have a 20GB ipod, hard drive crashed. So I have updated my itunes to 7.0, and charged my nano on a wall outlet.
    I plugged the nano in, with the itunes open, and nothing has happened (it's been over an hour). I've read discussions, everyone keeps referencing "choose nano in the source panel"--I do not have any "source" panel or button on my itunes. The nano screen just says "do not disconnect."
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Sue

    Are you saying that the nano does not show in iTunes? The source panel is always there....it's the panel on the left hand side of iTunes that allows you to look at created playlists (Recently played, music, videos, podcasts, etc). In that area you should see the nano (whatever you named it or it may just say "iPod"). If you don't then go to the Windows "Safely Remove Hardware" utility (it may be open in the area at the far bottom right of your computer screen where the time is. It is an icon with a green arrow pointing left and slightly down in case you are not familiar with it). You can "eject" your iPod using that (click on stop and then another box should open. Click on the iPod labeled drive listed and then click the ok button). Then restart iTunes and reconnect your ipod.

  • HT4528 I was using my phone, set it on my bed for maybe ten minutes, went to use it again and the screen was black and it was unresponsive. Nothing happens when I plug it in, I tried a soft reset and nothing happened either. Is there anything I can do?

    a friend of mine said this happened to her, and apple told her to leave it plugged in for a while. I've already had it plugged in for several hours and nothing has happened. I haven't been able to get to apple yet but I was wondering if there was anything I hadn't tried yet?

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • What will happen when I plug in my new classic iPod?

    Hi,
    I am getting a new iPod classic 80gb tomorrow, hooray! I already own a 30gb iPod video which I have just sold. When I plug my new iPod in tomorrow will everything be ok? Will it automatically sync the existing music library or wipe the lot?! Could someone help me and let me know what to expect and what I need to do to ensure a smooth transfer of iPods? Many thanks.

    Am in the process of replacing stolen Classic 80 MB ... bought a new iPod, plugged into the computer (Windows XP), got iTunes & the registration screen, registered ... but nothing happens for the initial setup. iPod shows charging, but it seems iTunes is not seeing the iPod ... even though it's in the device list.
    Any ideas?
