Three ipod touchs (4th gen) wont even hardwire to itunes never mind wifi sync

I have a really odd problem. All three of the kids  ipod touchs wont hardwire to itunes (all have latest software versions as d itunes). Wifi sync not an option either. Its not the cable as my iphone is recognised when connected and also ipad is recognised by wifi sync.
So its the ipod touchs - any clues about this problem?
Thanks

Are you using the same cable with the iPods and the iPhone? Just checking.
Did the iPod connect to iTunes before?
What model iPods and what iOPS on the iPods?
What model iPhone and iOS?
What OSX and version on the computer?
What version of iTunes is installed.?
iOS 6 requires version 10.7 or later.

  • IPod touch 4th gen wont show up in iTunes, but my old iPod nano does.

    So I've looked up this issue on multiple forums and here, but it seems like everyone is having a simmilar issue, but not the same. I've gone through just about everything here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1369 and I've tried all the trouble shooting and everything. I thought that maybe it was an issue with my cheap USB but I recently purchased an apple brand one and it still doesn't work. My iPod doesn't even show up as an iPod in the connected devices on my computer, but it shows up as a camera or something. I have a Toshiba Leading Innovation laptop with Windows 8, and a 4th generation iPod touch. My older iPod nano connects to iTunes just fine. I'm thinking it's an issue with my iPod touch but I have absolutely no clue how to fix this. Can anyone help?

    The Nano uses different drivers than iOS devices like the iPod touch

    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

  • My ipod touch 4th gen wont turn on or charge and is in recovery mode.

    my ipod touch 4th gen wont turn on or charge and it is in recovery mode but when it says preparing to restore it on itunes when i plug it up then the ipod disconnects from the computer and just shuts off again help me please. when it does act like its going to charge it doesnt charge and just brings up the "connect to itunes" thing.

    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • HELP... Ipod Touch 4th Gen - wont restore

    Hi,first time posting in the form and desperate for some help. I purchased the Ipod touch 4th gen for my 12 yr old daughter for Christmas 2010, it's work great until last night when I connect it to my PC to download the lastest updates. During the restoring process it gives me the message "The ipod "ipod" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (9)" Each time I connect my ipod to my PC it tells me "you must restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes." I hit recovery and it goes through the recovery part to verify the ipod restore, but when it gets to the last step it gives the unknown error message again. It's a vicious loop of dissappointments each time I try to restore it. I've search the internet and tried almost everything and nothing seems to work. If anyone else has experience this and resolved this issue please let me know.

    Yes, unfortunately I've tried that several times and other suggestions mentioned in this form but none seem to work for me. I'm really at a lost because its always updated great with no problems until I was request to update to the 4.3.2 version. PLEASE HELP!
