Recognizing the iPod Touch

Hi, everyone. I'm having some issues with my iPod Touch and have tried several solutions with no help so far. I was in the process of updating to the 1.1.4 when it stopped and has been frozen on the ipod cord connecting to iTunes for a while. I've been getting the same error message but the number has changed throughout.
The message always says it couldn't restore the iPod. The first few times the error was (6), the next few times was (50) and now its (2003).
Can anybody help me?
I previous had a Nano that I know shows up in My Computer like another hard drive. Is there any way to read the iPod Touch in the same way?

No, you can't use it as a flash drive.
Hope this helps.

  • How can I sync the ipod touch with windows 7 64 bit

    How can I sync the ipod touch with Outlook on windows 7 64 bit?

    I'm having the same problem with Windows 7, iTunes has been spotty about recognizing my iPod Touch. Now that I've updates Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (June 2011), It won't complete a sync or a restore at all on either of my Windows 7 computers.
    I have gone through every troubleshooter action recommended by Apple Support, and have not been able to improve the situation at all.
    I took my Touch to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store after trying and failing to complete a restore while troubleshooting, and it restored just fine from a Mac.  Unfortunately, it now gives me an error meesage (Incompatible device) half way through an attempted sync, or iTunes simply freezes.
    I even tried removing the Windows SP1, but that was a mess, as my display went all whacky and iTunes crashed immediately upon startup.
    The Windows 7 OS ***** in general, particularly with compatibility issues, and not just for Apple products.
    Does anyone know how to remedy this situation?
    I'm so frustrated and have wasted so much time on this issue that I'm going to throw it all out the window!
    HELP!!!!!!

  • ITunes Not Recognizing my iPod Touch after Upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

    After upgrading from Tiger (10.4.x) to Leopard (10.5.0=>10.5.6), my iPod Touch is no longer recognized by iTunes 8.0.2. The iPod Touch no longer appears in iTunes' "source list" (left side pane in iTunes' GUI).
    Immediately prior to that upgrade, my iPod Touch was working great with Tiger (10.4.x). iTunes 8.0.2 recognized it (listed it in sources) and always synchronized with it successfully.''
    My iPod Touch is also not shown in the Finder. However, it does show up as recognized in iPhoto.
    Any ideas on how to get the iPod recognized again in iTunes under Leopard?

    Thanks to a posting by Jim in a different Apple Discussions (forum), my problem is now resolved. Read on for the details.

    iTunes Not Recognizing iPod Touch. Prior to Jim's posting, I had already read the article that Jim referenced (to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service per article "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747").
    Prior to Jim's posting, I had also read other articles in various "Apple Discussions" (forums) that suggested this recognition problem could be resolved by uninstalling/re-installing iTunes 8.0.2. Some implied that you could just re-install iTunes 8.0.2 right over the currently installed one without bothering to uninstall it.
    Based on those postings, I "gambled" last night and simply downloaded and re-installed iTunes 8.0.2 (without uninstalling it first). I noticed during the installation that the Apple Mobile Device agent was also re-installed. Well, my gamble paid off! After the installation (and a reboot?), iTunes onces again RECOGNIZED my iPod Touch.

    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • Since upgrading iTunes 10, my computer and iTunes are no longer recognizing my iPod Touch.

    Since upgrading iTunes 10, my computer and iTunes are no longer recognizing my iPod Touch.  Would a full reset of my iPod resolve this?  The iPod is still working, I just can't update apps or add songs...  The computer says that "one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctions, and Windows does not recognize it.  iTunes is not seeing the iPod at all....

    You have a driver/service problems and that is covered in the above.

  • My ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop. The ipod touch starts charging then stops. This keeps continuing. Please help.

    my ipod touch 4g is not being recognised on my new toshiba laptop or itunes. Its not being shown on my computer and its not shown as 'unspecified' in the 'devices window'. The ipod touch starts charging then stops this keeps continuing like a ongoing circle. Please help.
    I have tried on my family members laptop and its seems to be picking up. So the ipod or the usb wire is not the issue.
    I have tried everything from reinstalling itunes and updating windows.
    I have tried the diagnostics test and its still says the ipod cannot be found.

  • I have the iPod Touch 3G but iTunes won't recognize it when I connect to my Windows 8 computer

    So I have the iPod Touch 3G (5.1.1 version) and I had just recently updated my iTunes library to the 11.1.4 version. Ever since, every time I connect my iPod to my computer (I have Windows 8), my computer recognizes it but my iTunes does not. How can I fix this problem? I really hope this version of iTunes is not compatible with my ancient iPod because I really don't have money to go out and buy a newer iPod. It doesn't have to do with the amount of storage in it because I have the 32GB version and I have 16.8GB available. If anyone could help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

  • My computer is not recognizing my IPod Touch, therefore I can not sync.

    My computer is not recognizing my Ipod touch. I have used all the help tips and tried different usb ports with no change. The only other thing I can think of is that since I lost my cable for the Ipod, I am using the cable for my Iphone. Would this cause the problem? The cables seem to be the exact same, but perhaps I am mistaken.
