Touch not recognised, yet charges. This is last resort, promise!

Hi all
I'm sure there are a million threads on a similar note, but I have tried everything I can think of and my iPod Touch V1 is not being recognised by my computer at all. Well, kinda
I've got the latest iTunes, my USB port and cable are working correctly, everything is as it should be
When I plug the iPod in, it looks like it is recognised as it makes the little noise and it charges. However on the pc & iTunes? Nada. Nowt. Nothing.
The diagnostics state 'no iPod found', although when I view the results, it details my iPod along with it's serial number etc
I've never had any issues with it, and I can't think of any changes to my PC that might affect it
I've gone through all the troubleshooting and whatnot also
My last resort is to wipe the iPod and start again, but I'm loathe to do that in case it doesn't solve it and I have no iPod at all! At present, at least I can still use it, just can't make any changes to it
Sorry to post what I'm sure has been asked before, but I really appreciate any assistance you could offer
Cheers

Further! I managed to restore the iPod using a different machine. Restored. Brilliant
Still doesn't work on my machine
So, after all that, it would appear that it is the computer at fault, not the iPod itself. This makes me more sad than angry
Is there anything I can do to get the machine working again? I can totally remove and reinstall iTunes and see if that helps?
It's strange in that when I plug the iPod in, it charges from the USB, but nothing else at all
Anyway, thank you for your help thus far, most appreciated

Ipod touch not recognised in windows or itnes since updating to itunes9

Hi all,
I upgraded to itunes9 and now my ipod touch (2nd gen 16gb) is not recognised in either windows or itunes.
The ipod still charges via the USB lead so presmably there is nothing wrong there
So far I have tried the following
Uninstalled all itunes, apple stuff, bonjour etc
reinstalled
still same issue.. stopped and restarted apple mobile.. repaired apple mobile.. etc etc
rebooted a zillion times and spent the last 36 hours tearing my hair out all to no avail, its still not recognised.
At one stage i had a "device found" message, swiftly followed by a "device has malfunctioned" error message and back to square one again.
It's my understandin that I can't ring apple (unless I pay) as I have had the ipod since Jan 2009 so if anyone here could help or has any suggestions I wold really appreciate it.
In the device manager there is nothing ipod related in the Universal Serial Bus section or anwhere else in there, have tried it in every USB port.. it charges from them all.. but nothing else. I'm so frustrated
Sue.

This is happening to me also. After installing Windows 7-64, the sync with my Ipod freezes after a couple of songs transfers. Tried everything imaginable: Itunes reinstall, execute with compability to VIsta, energy safe mode off to USB ports/hubs, cable change, restore Ipod. I have a Acer Aspire M3641, lastest ITunes version, latest software on Ipod. Please Microsoft, Apple, Intel, whoever, WAKE UP !!! Code 0xE8000065

IPod Touch not recognised by ITunes but my iPhone 4 works fine.

I am currently not able to sync my ipod touch as it is not seen by iTunes when I connect it.
I am using Windows 7 and the latest version of iTunes and have followed each of the steps listed at
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495
but still can't sync.
I have listed several key bits of information which I hope someone can explain.
1. My iPhone 4 sync's fine - same user account under windows, same usb cable.
2. When i plug in the ipod touch it starts to charge and iTunes appears to hang. e.g hovering over the file menu doesn't highlight the options. If I wait roughly 3 mintues iTunes starts responding again (file menu's are activated) but still doesn't recognise the ipod touch.
3. If I do this over and over again I 'sometimes' get iTunes to recognise the device but it presents the 'Restore from backup or restore to factory settings'. If I select restore from backup it then informs me the backup is corrupt. The randomness of getting to this stage has no consistent steps and i've been unable to get to this point over the past 3 days.
4. I recently bought a movie from iTunes and get the message 'The movie could not be played' and since getting this message i've been unable to get iTunes to see the device.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I've finally managed to get the device recognised my Windows. The solution was to take my ipod touch round to my friends house who own's an apple mac. Plugged into the Mac itunes instantly see's the device and everything is back to normal.
I can know get my Windows 7 machine to see the device in iTunes. The strange behaviour I see on Windows 7 box is, on plugging in the device iTunes hangs if I then unplug the device and reattach it (repeat this several times) eventually iTunes doesn't hang and sees the device.
Not at elegant solution granted but hopefully this may help someone out. This is obviously a software bug (is it that I am also syncing my iPhone?) as I've ruled out all the hardware involved.

IPod Touch not recognised by Windows 8 or iTunes whilst in Recovery mode.

Hello!
I recently updated my iTunes account and during the update on syncing my iPod touch (5th gen) my iPod put itself in to recovery mode and now both iTunes and my computer (in Windows 8) wont recognise my iPod.
I've followed the steps here> https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT204095
But I've had no success, the main stop I get to is when in Device Manager (where there are two entries under 'Other devices' both entries have a '!' in front of them and are listed as ' Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)') in Windows when I get to "Install disk" and input-ing the file Apple support suggests, an error message comes up saying that the folder I've selected doesn't contain a compatible software driver for my device.
On plugging in my iPod my computer makes the normal 3 pings and begins to charge with my ipod lighting up and saying to connect to iTunes, but Windows does not recognise it. I've tried my other USB ports, my other USB cable (all genuine Apple Parts) and I have tried another computer (also Windows) that did not recognise my iPod.
I have confirmed that Apple Mobile device is supported in the programs and have restarted it as well.
I've also removed and reinstalled iTunes and removed other 3rd party software (like the software for my mobile) as the article suggested. The only thing I haven't done is fully removed all my Apple Software entirely and then reloading it but I thought before I make this big leap I'd check if there were any other ideas from everyone.
Any ideas? I'm a bit stumped with this as it seemingly happened for no other reason then iTunes updating.
Thanks

Yes I've got the original USB that the iPod came with and I've tried all 3 of my USB ports and my other USB devices are working with no issue.
I've been through my antiVirus too and the internet firewall, disabling and then retrying, but with no changes.
I think I'm just delaying the inevitable of taking the time to uninstall everything and start again.
Thanks for the help!

IPod Touch not recognised on Windows 8 and will not appear as connected in iTunes.

Usually when I plug my iPod Touch (4th Gen) into my laptop (Windows 8) it appears automatically on iTunes for me to sync. However, when I tried to do this today, iTunes did not recognise that a device was connected and this was confirmed after I did a diagnostic test. Windows recognises that an iPod has been plugged in, however where it usually says "Alicia's iPod Touch", it just appears as "Apple iPod" and when I click on it, I cannot access any photos/videos that I have on my iPod. Any help would be very much appreciated if anybody know how I can fix this. Thank you.

Hello Ali_95
Check out the article below for troubleshooting issues with your iPod touch not showing up in iTunes. It may be an issue with security software or the Apple Mobile Device driver.

IPod touch not recognised by itunes. have tried fix suggested in FAQs

Hi Guys,
I have a 32gb iPod touch, which recently had been running a bit slowly. As a solution to this i updated with the newest sowftware, and cleared all my apps. Still slow, so i decided to do a system reset from the settings function. This was fine but since then my ipod has not switched on, it merely switches on to the apple logo, and goes back off again. When i hook it to a computer, itunes does not recognise that it is connected and i cant do a system restore. I have tried the 'hold home and connect to cable' trick but with no success.Is this a problem that you have heard of before?ie is there a quick solution, or will it need some parts/software updated by apple?

Help please, from iPod Touch experts?
(Sorry Darraghjoneill, not an answer but extra questions.)
I've an 8Gb iPod Touch which was working fine until around iTunes9. Now it is not recognised in iTunes. I've been through all of the support docs and suggestions covering deinstalling and reinstalling iTunes (including iTunes8), AMDS, USB Drivers, etc. I've an iPod Nano which works fine with the same USB cable in the same USB slot and a 10Gb Classic that works fine through Firewire.
When connecting the iPod Touch it shows the "Connect to iTunes" graphic and does manage to start iTunes but then I get the "iTunes could not ID this iPhone properly, disconnect and reconnect". I do that and then get the "Unknown Error 0xE8000065" problem with the added complication that, whenver this appears it messes up Firefox so no new pages can be loaded and the only fix is to Reboot my whole PC. I also get this Firefox problem when stopping/starting/restarting AMDS.
Stupidly, I thought resetting the iPod Touch to factory defaults might have helped but it didn't so now I have a very shiny brick.
Any practical suggestions?

Pod not recognised but charges

Hi
Odd one possibly. My Ipod is no longer recognised on my G4 in anyway, neither iTunes or on the desktop. I have tried plugging into both Firewire and USB but no joy.
However, it does charge. I don't think there is a problem with the ports since my girfriends pod is recognised on both USB and Firewire
I have tried re-booting the computer, reseting my pod, attached and not to the computer. Still not recognised by it does charge.
Any ideas what next?
Cheers

Hi
Yes my pod has been recognized unfailingly for a year with Disk mode enabled I think, and has always been ilnked to this iTunes.
I haven't tried another computer and I think it's the do not disconnect display when connected.
I haven't tried connecting with iTunes closed, then opening once attached but I figured re-booting with attached might be similar.
Cheers

IPhone4 will not hold a charge - This is my 3rd iPhone having this problem

Hi all -
I appreciate any help you can provide as I'm stuck and don't know what else to do.
Last September just before the iPhone4S was released, I purchased my very first iPhone which was a iPhone4.
About 3 months after owning my iPhone, the battery drained really fast.
I took the phone to the Apple store and they ran a thousands tests. Restores, backups, test for water damage, etc. etc.
They issued me a "new iPhone4".
about 4 months after that, the same thing happened to my phone (now my 2nd iPhone4).
LONG STORY SHORT - we did the same tests, several trips to the Apple store.
They said that because I plugged my phone in to my car radio, the radio pushed out too many amps and that drianed my battery.
I denied that and said that wasn't possiable, but OK, my bad. I won't use my iPhone with my car radio.
so they issued me ANOTHER "new" iPhone4 (now my 3rd & current one).
THIS TIME I MADE URE TO CHARGE MY PHONE CAREFULLY.
i've had this phone since July.
as with my first 2 phones, I've only used the original charger that came with my iPhone and have only plugged it in to the same oulet that my wife uses for her 4s (she has no issues). Here I am 3 months later, and AGAIN my iPhone drains fast and can not hold a charge.
after being at 100% battery life, I unplug it. Check emails, twitter and espn occasionally and within an hour i'm under 20% battery life.
Can anyone PLEASE help me? Am I doing something wrong?
I don't want to restore all my apps and things again. I don't ant a "new" phone. I just ant to keep this phone and have it retain a normal battery cycle.
PleaseHelp - Thank you

bring it into Apple for battery diagnostics.

IPhone 5 show message "charging is not supported" yet charge shows 100%

My iPhone 5 worked fine the first two nights. Then on the 3rd. morning (after charging all night) I see the message "charging is not supported with this accessory". I switched to old iPhone 4 wall charger with lightning cable, same message in the morning. Tried again with new lightning cable I received in the mail and original iPhone 5 wall charger. Worked fine first night and morning, but on 2nd. morning message "charging is not supported..) came on again, yet charge shows 100%. Each time I've plugged in lightning cable everything look ok (no "charging not suported" message). The message always appears in the morning after a nights charging.
Any ideas to try before I make an appointment with Apple Genius and drive 20 miles?
Thanks,
Bud P.

I took my iPhone 5 to the Apple Store and spoke with an Apple Genius. He checked out my iPhone and then I was told that that was not a hardware problem with the cable or charger unit, but that the message could appear if the phone was fully charged and left on too long after being fully charged. Since then I let the battery run down longer before I charge and then fully charge in the evening and unplug before I go to sleep. I have not had the message appear again since I did that.

Ipod touch not recognised by win7

Hi I have 2 ipod touch 2nd Gen 8gb.
1 works fine when I plug it into my laptop or any PC.
The other one won't get recognised by any computer I plug it into, I keep getting a USB not recognised error.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I believe the Ipod was used with a mac rather than a PC before I bought it, not sure if that makes any difference
