PC cannot detect iPod Touch 4g 32GB

Okay so today i was trying out the power button + home button thing and then after that it just got stuck in recovery mode, also to add that when it happened, my computer asked me to install the hardware of Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode). After that, iTunes couldn't detect any device. I've spent hours trying to restore it but it doesn't work.
I'm now stuck at the screen where it tells me to connect the cable to iTunes.
Your help is appreciated!
Thank you.

Same thing to me.. I just got mine today, used, and it locked up while resetting the data in it. So I did the Home+wake/sleep, and that didn't help, and iTunes won't even acknowledge it at all.

  • ITunes 8: cannot detect iPod Touch

    Hi,
    Has anyone else had trouble getting iTunes to detect their iPod Touch since upgrading? My sync worked fine previously, but having upgraded to 8.0 this morning iTunes simply refuses to 'see' my iPod Touch. Windows XP still detects it (admittedly, now as a 'Digital Stills Camera'), but nothing from iTunes at all.
    Has the Windows driver been changed in some way too? Anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    I finally got everything to work. I followed some instructions on another thread. I uninstalled 8.0 and all of it files then reinstalled 7.7. I followed his instructions to the letter. 7.7 was working fine. I then decided to try and update to 8.0. and voila...it has been working fine. No conflict with my cd or dvd and it recognizes my ipod. I am posting the other information below. Sorry I can't just link...I don't know how.
    Good Luck

    Hello, and welcome to the forums. For future reference, I'd recommend creating your own post so that way you can get accurate information quickly. If you'd prefer to downgrade iTunes rather than work out the issues with iTunes 8, I can offer you some insight. If you'd like to try to work out the issue with iTunes 8, I'd suggest creating a new thread with the results of your iTunes Network Diagnostics so we can take a look at what's going on.
    To obtain your network diagnostics, click your Help menu and choose Run Diagnostics.
    To downgrade iTunes, this is my (personal) recommended method. I upgraded 7.something to 8 and then went back to 7.7 on my Windows XP machine. (No real reason, other than to see if it could be done).
    1. Remove all iTunes-related Software
    Go to your Control Panel and open Add/Remove Programs
    Remove the following:
    -Apple Mobile Device Support
    -Apple Software Update
    -Bonjour
    -iPod for Windows (it's OK if this doesn't exist)
    -iTunes
    -QuickTime
    2. Make sure they're completely removed
    Go to My Computer > C: > Program Files
    Delete these folders:
    -Apple Software Update
    -Bonjour
    -iPod
    -iTunes
    -QuickTime
    If any or all of these folders don't exist, it's a good thing.
    3. Delete supporting documents
    Open up My Computer
    Go to your Tools menu at the top and select Folder Options
    Choose the round option button to "Show Hidden Files and Folders" and then click Apply, then OK
    Go to C: > Documents and Settings > your username > Application Data
    Delete the folder called "Apple Computer"
    Go to C: > Documents and Settings > your username > Local Settings > Application Data
    Delete the folders called "Apple" and "Apple Computer"
    4. Prepare your library data files
    Go to your My Music folder and open up the iTunes folder inside it
    Move the following files to your desktop:
    -iTunes Library.itl
    -iTunes Music Library.xml
    -iTunes Library Extras.itdb
    -iTunes Library Genius.itdb
    5. Restart your computer
    6. Download & install iTunes 7.7
    http://www.brothersoft.com/itunes-116719.html
    -Click the "Download" button
    -Click the "Click to Download" link (next to a server number)
    7. Open up iTunes. It will walk you through the setup/configuration process. Make sure that you UNcheck the options to add media (MP3, WMA, AAC) files. Your library should be empty. Click your File menu and choose Import. Select the file "iTunes Music Library.xml" that was placed on your desktop in Step 4. This should put your library and playlists back together for you.
    I did not have to re-authorize my computer for my iTunes store purchases, however, if prompted to, you can click your Store menu at the top of the window and choose "Authorize Computer." Once completed successfully, you can delete the iTunes library data files that were placed on the desktop, as they are no longer needed or in use.
    Hope this is helpful

  • White screen of death ipod touch 4g 32gb [dropped]

    I got my ipod touch 4g 32gb for Christmas 2012, so it's still quite new, i accidently dropped it on the kitchen floor, screen face down [facebook app was currently running at the time] it had a silocon case on it so it wasn't as bad, when i pick up my ipod to check it was alright, the screen was all white [white screen of death].
    I've tried 'home+lock screen buttons' & i have also tried 'Home+lock screen+ volume up buttons' this didn't work.
    my friend suggested that i leave it to drain out and after 24 hours it died out, after about 20-30 mins i put it back on charge and the white screen came back up, i took it off and i'm leaving it for the night and will try it again tomorrow, does any one have any suggestions on other ways i could fix it, please help, thanks.

    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.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. Could be a loose connection or something worse.
