Why doesnt my ipod connect to my laptop

I tried to connect my ipod touch h generation into laptop as i needed to put some music onto my ipod from my laptop how ever my laptop doesnt come up with m ipod or even say its been recgonized ,so i tried it with m brothers ipod shuffle and i works fine it isnt the usb lead becaise i only brought it today any ideas?

The Shuffle uses different drivers that the iPod touch so it could be a driver problem.

  • Why doesnt my ipod sync the new music?

    why doesnt my ipod sync the new music when i connect it to Itunes

    Hey myvalentine,
    The resolution depends on what method you're using to sync your iTunes content to your iPod. If I were you, I'd start fresh and go through the following article, choosing which method works best for you and reading through the instructions:

    Help Pls! I got 2 iPhones & an iPod connected to my laptop and I wanted to access my iPod iTunes library but only the iTunes for 1 iPod keeps popping up and I don't want the files on it to sync to my iPod. How can I separate the 3 libraries and open them separately? Please help. I'm becoming very frustrated.

    There is only one library.  The one on your computer.
    All of the devices sync to this one library.

  • Why won't ipod connect to internet?

    I got my ipod touch like about 3 weeks ago, and I've never been able to get it to connect to the wireless network in my house. I created an unsecured wireless network via ad hoc, and the ipod connects to the network perfectly. On the ipod, it shows that it has full bars, yet everytime I try to access safari, youtube, or any other application that requires internet, it either says that it can't access the server, or that it's not connected to internet.
    I've 'forgotten' the network, reset the ipod touch twice, reset the modem, and now I really don't know what to do.
    On the DHCp section, this is what appears on the ipod-
    IP Address- 192.168.0.162
    Subnet Mask- 255.255.255.0
    Router- 192.168.0.1
    DNS- 192.168.0.1
    Search Domains- mshome.net
    And these are the properties of the Network on my comp.
    IP Address- 192.168.0.162
    Subnet Mask- 255.255.255.0
    Preferred DNS Server- 192.168.0.1
    Is this out of the norm or something? What should I do to fix this problem? ... I could also still return the ipod since I only got it a couple weeks ago.

    Now it is, b/c I just set the network to obtain an IP address and DNS Server automatically (which i guess somehow enabled DHCP), however, because of that, the network settings that had appeared on my ipod changed.
    Now in the DHCP section it states -
    IP Address- 169.254.137.115
    Subnet Mask- 255.255.0.0
    All the rest of the spaces are empty.
    ... And the internet still doesn't work.
