i plug my ipod in and the lightening icon doesn't pop up on the battery but that never appears. then i look later on and i will have full battery, but my ipod isnt charging at the moment and it doesnt connect to my computer?????????

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
It also could be due to a defective Lightning cable. Other uses have had problems with the cable.

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are. Reset the iPod each time you connect it to another port.
Still no joy, see these.

You do have iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer, right?
See:

I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

Bought app in order to sync itunes with a blackberry playbook. Now Itunes will open on my computer but when i plug my ipods in to charge or sync, itunes is not showing that they are plugged in. Cant charge or anything!

Obviously not too smart with all this technology. I puchased a Blackberry Playbook Tablet and wanted to sync my itunes music, so following directions on the Playbook, I downloaded this app - Daniel Bingham Itunes sync - and when I went to my pc, I pulled it up, plugged in my Playbook and it did sync all my music from my Itunes library to the Playbook. However, now when I plug an ipod in my pc to charge or sync more music, my pc is not showing it recognizes any of my ipods being plugged in. It makes no mention of any of my ipods being connected! I also keep getting this "Found New Hardware Wizard" box that keeps popping up everytime I plug an ipod in - it originally showed up when I had Playbook plugged in to download all its info (I think) but it never completes, saying not compatible - so I click cancel. I have since clicked on remove New found hardware but it still pops up. Why does it continue to show with every Ipod now? Any idea on what I can do to repair this situation? Please help!

Make sure your headphones are plugged in all the way, meaning you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug.
A feature of the Nano is to put it to sleep when the display goes out and it does not detect any headphones.

Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
I can't download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.

HT4236 When I plug my IPOD into my Mac, no device image appears, it doesn't seem to recognize that I have my I POD connected.

I have an IPOD Tough and a MAC. When I plug my IPOD into the MAC, no IPOD device icon appears on the MAC. Additionally when I go to Itunes, there is no IPOD device listed. How can I get the MAC to recognize the IPOD?

Hi deaconspeaking,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Try looking for the iPod below the Search field in iTunes. If it doesn't show up below search, the second article provides troubleshooting tips that should help you out.
