- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipod touch isn't being recognized by iTunes or my computer. It's in "ipod recovery mode"?

My ipod touch 5th generation is not being recognized by my computer under devices or in itunes; however, when I click on devices and printers it comes up under "unspecified" and is labeled as "Apple mobile device usb driver." I right clicked the icon and hit troubleshooter and it opened itunes and told me I should restore and update my ipod. I did this twice and nothing has changed, it is still not being recognized. This is a big problem because the only thing that will pop up on the screen of my ipod is the symbol for the usb plug with an arrow pointing to the itunes symbol (meaning plug into itunes I assume). I have tried restarting my ipod and restarting my computer and nothing is working. I have the most recent version of itunes. How do I fix this?

My Ipod touch isn't being recognizd in iTunes or in my computer.

I need help badly lol. Ok as in the title my ipod isn't being recognized by iTunes or windows. Also it doesnt come on unless plugged into my computer or some power source. But when it does come on all it shows is a USB cord with an arrow pointing to the words iTunes. I don't know what to do, I've searched for about 5-6 hours trying to fix this blasted thing and no solution works yet. I've done the reset, uninstall reinstall itunes, restart my computer, uninstall the drivers from device manager and reinstall them after a computer restart. Absolutely nothing works, is it time i chunk the thing in the garbage or what?

My ipod touch isn't showing up in itunes?

It won't show. It's not the cable at all. I plugged up to the itunes on mom's computer and it showed up. I resatred my computer even installed new updates on my computer. I went as far as deleting programs I don't use. Itunes freezes up on me then I have to close it down. When I try to open it back up again, I have to click the shortcut on my desktop, on my toolbar, in my menu, and go as far as in the start menu and use the run option. I called apple and I had to pay to get help?!!?!?! That's some bullsh*t. I'm only a teenager. Where the **** am I going to get 29 dollars from?
BTW I'm using it on my pc and it's a second generation. If I uninstall Itunes will all of my music get deleted too??

My Ipod Touch isn't showing up on Itunes

Hey Guys,
Up until four days ago my ipod touch was working perfectly! Now it won't show up on Itunes however it still shows up on my laptop as a camera. I've tried numerous solutions to fix this problem, such as uninstalling/reinstalling itunes, factory reset on the ipod, I've tested it on other computers and it works fine, so I know the problem is with Itunes! I'm using windows 8 as an OS.
Please someone help!
