Why is my Ipod Touch 4g not registering in iTunes?

I just bought an iPod Touch 4g on Ebay.  I've tried all the troubleshooting in the instructions, downloaded the latest iTunes, the USB cable is plugged in and it keeps saying I have no internet connection.  I don't have a router or wifi at home, so I just have it plugged into the computer with the USB.  The iPod turns on, I get all the little icons, but when I click on something it says "...can not open the page because your iPod Touch is not connected to the Internet".  When I go into iTunes, my device is not showing up.  I used to have an Ipod and had no trouble doing any of this before.  I sold that one, and got this one, and I would think it would work the same way, but it's not.  Help!!   Thank you!

Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
New cable and different USB port?

  • Why is my ipod touch 5 not working with itunes? It says it needs to update to itunes 10.7 or later.

    My new ipod touch 5 is working perfectly, almost. When I plugged it in to my laptop for Itunes, the laptop said the ipod needs to update to itunes 10.7 or later. The problem is it won't let me update it. Can somebody help me?

    You need to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer to sync it. If you're using Mac OS X 10.6 through 10.6.7, run Software Update twice. If you're running Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier and have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.
    If you're using Windows, what happens when you try to update it?

  • Ipod touch is not recognized by itunes

    Why is my ipod touch is not recognized by itunes? I have tried everything that the troubleshooting guide says and nothing works.  Anyone have any other suggestions?

    Just what have you tried.  There are many Apple articles on the subject and it easy to miss one or more. Did it work before?  Did you do anything to the computer since it last worked?  oDoes the iPod work OK?  Have you tried:

    My ipod touch is not recognized on itunes and will not turn on or even give me the battery sign that it is dead. I turned it off and it won't turn back on now. The screen is completely black and won't do anything. I have tried charging it over night and nothing happened. It was never near water.

    Did you try here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Next try on another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.
