Answer 1

Ok, there can be several reasons an iPod will do this:
1.) The device may have a hardware issue, such as the 20-pin connector's connection to the logic board of the device is faulty, etc.
2.) A software/firmware issue is restricting the device from connecting with the computer properly.
Here are a few things to try:
1.)
1. Restart your computer
2. Power off your device
3. Plug in your device
4.) Launch iTunes if it does not automatically launch
if that does not work:
2.)
1. Keep your device plugged into your computer.
2. Power off your device while it is connected.
3. Disconnect your device
4. Begin holding the home button of your device
5. While holding the home button down, plug your device into your computer
6. Continue holding the home button until iTunes pops up (if it takes more than, say, 1 minute, it is not working). iTunes will say it detected a device in recovery mode, and that you will need to reinstall your software. Do so by clicking the button 'Restore' under the picture of your device in iTunes (when you are on the page of  your device inside of iTunes).
if that does not work:
3.)
1. Power on your device while connected to your computer
2. Leave your device connected to your computer and power off your device by pressing the home and power buttons down
3. After 10 seconds from the time you started holding the buttons, release the power button, but continue holding down the home button
4. Stop holding the home button down once iTunes launches and says that your device is in recovery mode, then proceed to do a software restore by clicking on your device in iTunes, then clicking the button that says 'Restore'.
