Touch no longer read by computer

i have had my touch for 8 months, today however my ipod is not getting read by the computer, the problem i think is to do with the ipod since the computer reads all other devices. i have two i pod connections but still the i pod is not being read by the computer PLEASE HELP

Try Resetting the Touch after you connect it. Also, are you using the same cable for the Touch and iPhone (it is an iPhone isn't it?) or different ones. If it is not an iPhone, again, try your Touch on a different computer. If it charges the problem is on your computer, check your USB port settings in your firmware and check to see if you root USB driver is current. If it doesn't charge on the other computer get your Touch serviced.

  • Updated iPod Touch no longer reads PDF's

    I don't get this. When I first updated my iPod Touch with the new apps, I could download a PDF attachment sent by email and then I could open and read it. That is no longer true. PDF attachments appear to download but I cannot open them. Anyone have any ideas about how this could have happened and what I should do about it?
    Thanks,
    Lema

    I have been able to send pdfs to my ipod touch with mixed results. I have the latest updates.
    2 out of 3 pdfs were readable on my ipod touch. (all were readable on my mac) On the ipod touch, one showed the graphics only, without text.
    If Apple or third party can get this working correctly, This would be a GREAT tool for the many of us who have catalogs, sales flyers, etc in pdf format and could reference them without being connected to the internet. (having them in emails works, but it needs to work all the time.)

  • 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:
    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090209182107AAR4juY
    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...

  • Ipod Touch Takes Longer than my computer to start up.

    Why does the iPod touch 4g take about 37 secconds to start up? My WIndows 7 pc takes 34 seconds to start up. I have iOS 4.3 and have not jailbroken my iPod.

    Shouldn't take that long. You never really have to turn off your iPod Touch though, to be honest. Locking it is better for the battery and ensures that it is always ready for when you want it. The only advantage to turning it off is wiping the memory (RAM) clear, but you can do that manually by double tapping the Home Button, holding down on one of the apps found in the multitasking pane, and pressing the X.

  • Why is my Ipod Touch no longer recognised by my computer. I have Vista

    Why is my Ipod touch no longer recognised by my computer? please.

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar.  Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears.

    First try this:
    - Go on iTunes computer
    - plug in the iPod
    - authorize your device from store/authorize
    - iPod / transfer from iPod by right clicking on the left pane
    This will only transfer iTunes purchased music, not ripped CDs. and it is unnecessary now, as the music can just be downloaded from the cloud.

  • I no longer have the computer that I used to sync my Ipod touch.  So Itunes does nto recognize it.  My Ipod is diabled and locked so i cannot enter the passcode.

    I no longer have the computer I used to sync my Ipod Touch when it was new. Now the Ipod is locked and disabled and Itunes requests me to enter the passcode which I cannot do becasue the Ipod is locked!  Any suggestions?

    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:

  • HT1727 All of the music on my ipod touch was synced with another computer that I no longer have. Will I be able to transfer songs and videos that I didn't purchase?

    My ipod touch was synced with another computer that I no longer have. Will I be able to tranfer my music and videos to my new conputer without losing the items I didn't purchase from itunes.

    Move or copy all the media from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.

  • How would I be able to pull up all of the text messages tat were in my phone over the course of 2 years and back them up to my computer since my phone has a broken screen and can no longer read the mesages.

    How would I be able to pull up all of the text messages tat were in my phone over the course of 2 years and back them up to my computer since my phone has a broken screen and can no longer read the mesages.

    If the messages are stored on the device and you can power the device up you can use the application posted at https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/770529  , the application has a screen capture option and you can use the screen as a guide to install MyBackup from Market or a number of backup apps from Market and then you can run the applications and backup data to your SD Card to restore to the replacement device.

  • ITunes no longer reads my iPhone or iPad when plugged in.  I have iCloud but some teaching mp3 no longer transfer from computer to devices.

    For years I have been able to share all my audio files between my phone, pod, & iPad.  Since iCloud and Match, iTunes no longer transfers mp3 files that it sees as not music.  When I do plug in my iPhone and iPad, iTunes no longer reads my iPhone and iPad as a device.  How can I get my mp3 files that are teaching tapes back on my mobile devices?
    Respectfully,
