Trouble connecting my ipod
i connect my ipod to the USB port and i even have itunes open but the ipod or itunes won't respond. do you have any advice on what it could be and how to fix it?
all help will be noticed and appreciated.
Can you see your iPod in My Computer or Device Manager? If you can, right click on it, select disk management, and format it (FAT32, not a quick format) then Restore it in iTunes. You will lose all data on the iPod.

Having trouble connecting my ipod to iTunes and mac
Today my ipod decided to stop working altogether and not play anything. Literally, I was listening to a song and the next song never played. Couldn't figure out why, so I came on here and tried the 5 R's.
I want to restore my ipod (because obviously nothing else I did, worked), but I can't even connect it to my MacBook Pro, let alone, see it in itunes. I just want to see of restoring it might actually fix it before I do anything involving the apple store.
There's all sorts of threads about having troubles connecting ipods to PC's, but nothing I could find about connecting them to Macs.
I know for sure the USB wire is fine. I downloaded the new version of itunes and blah blah blah...it's definitely all the ipod, but I can't seem to come up with any other solution than to go to an apple store.
I only bought this within the last year and just recently started using it on a regular basis.
If anyone would like to shed some light on what might've happened, please let me know! I'd be so grateful! Thanks!Try putting the iPod into Disk Mode

If that works, connect it to the Mac. See if it is now recognized by the Mac and iTunes. If it is, use Restore to erase the iPod and initialize its software. -

Trouble connecting my Ipod Touch to my Nissan Murano
I just bought a new 2012 Nissan Murano with a USB connection for my iPod - 1st Gen Touch - it won't connect when plugged in - I get a message saying "no USB files". I have rebooted the Touch - nada. It is running the latest iOs for that device.
Any thoughts?Does Nissan say it will work with your mode iPod touch and its iOS? iPod use a different file system that other music players. It sounds like it is not compatible.
Also the iPod touch can't be used a a USB disk so it does not appear as a disk to the car system.as -

Hi,
My daughters just got an ipod touch today and I'm having trouble connecting it to my Wi-Fi network. It identifies my wireless connection but then says 'unable to join the network' with the word 'Dismiss' underneath. Any ideas on what I can do? Thanks!!Hi
Thanks for your reply. I've tried resetting a few times. There is no 'tick' next to the name of my wireless connection so it won't connect at all. I think I may have to do something with my router as there is an arrow button to press next to my wireless name, this takes me to a screen which asks for IP address, then has options for DHCP BootP and Static, it asks for Client ID DNS etc - all gobbledegook to me!! Perhaps my router is blocking the Ipod?
Thanks anyway! -

im having trouble connecting ipod to denon avr x1000
Those converters like the AsanteTalk are notorious for not re-acquiring Printers that drop out for any reason.
Get everything else powered up, then cycle off the AsanteTalk, count slowly to 10, then power the AsanteTalk on last. -

I have been having trouble connecting to my wifi on my ipad mini but my iPod is just fine......it will connect and then say "Unable to connect to network" I've tried resetting my ipad mini and turning off my router for 30 seconds and its not working.
What TC do you have? Model number direct from the base is a big help, it will be A1 followed by 3 numbers.. eg
A1409 Gen 4.. The new AC is A1470
How is it setup?
I need the whole network setup. what modem/router, how is the TC connected etc??
I also need to know what IP the ipod gets, so I can see what mode the TC or network router is working in. -
Trouble connecting Ipod to computer (USB)
I've had my iPod for about a month and a half, and haven't had any problems using it or connecting to to my PC. Yesterday I tried to connect my iPod to the computer to transfer some music and was greeted with the message "A USB device has malfucntioned and exceeded the power limits of its hub port" and the instruction to remove the device. I have tried using other USB devices in the same port--it works fine with a mouse, a printer, and an external hard drive--and moving the USB cable for the iPod to another port. The iPod does not work with any port--USB 1 or 2--even though the ports work fine for other USB devices. I have tried using a different USB cable, as I had a spare--this also did not work. Is the problem with my iPod? How do I get this fixed?
Hi,
Yes, I have restored from Backup via i-Cloud. I've restored the iPod to factory settings. It seem like there is a driver issue. I installed iOS 5.01 and updated iTunes to 10.5.3.3 at about the same time. Win-Vista64, iTunes and iPod are all up to date. Apple Genius, at local Apple store was also perplexed. He suggested I ask the community. So, here I am.
It is strange that I can connect to other computers. But, the other computers have Win 7. Could this be a Vista64 driver issue?
