Why isn't my ipod touch not recognized by itunes it's a new ipod?

I just bought a new Ipod touch nano because my old one was old and not recognized by itunes. Now my new isn't recognized by itunes either.

Hello, priscilla235. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below.  Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

    Hi, I have an ipod touch. It has been working well along windows 8 all this while until 1 week ago, itunes can no longer detect the ipod touch. Funnily, when I tried connecting it other computers using Windows 7, it could be detected. I have already tried almost everything such as uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, AMDS restart. What else can I do? I really need to sync some songs into my ipod touch for a run this weekend. Please help!

  • IPod Touch not recognized by iTunes after a Reset?

    My iPod Touch is not recognized by iTunes.  This has nothing to do with the new OS update.  2 months ago I was having lots of problems and decided to use the reset since it was not showing up on iTunes to do the Restore.  Since then I was able to get all of my apps back but cannot get anything off the computer like my songs.  When I plug it in anywhere the battery life screen does not come one (dark) and the little sound it makes (silent) is absent as well.  Any ideas anyone?

    Your USB 2.0 cable might be broken. You might need to buy another. Heres some links:
    http://www.amazon.com/Original-Connector-Cable-MA591G-Apple/dp/B004WWLULA/ref=sr _1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331433047&sr=8-1
    The one from amazon is around $12 cheaper. But if you want the new Apple Cable, here it is.

  • IPod touch not recognized by iTunes on Windows

    My email is [email protected]  My iPod touch is not showing up at all either in Computer or in iTunes.  I've tried everything...and yes, I mean everything that has been suggested here.  HELP.

    Another cable?
    Another USB port?
    Does the iPod work
    Does it charge?
    Try with another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem. Make an appointment at After you went to the Genius Bar of an Apple store what did the Genius say? You said you tried everything that has been discussed here and one action discussed is making an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ipod touch not recognized by itunes

    After installing the recent update for itunes I believe it is 11.0.1, my ipod touch no longer is detected by itunes. It is not listed under the devices. It is recognized by my computer but not my itunes. When I plug it in a screen on the ipod pops up asking if I trust this computer I hit trust and nothing happens. I can't sync it via wi-fi either. I have tried reinstalling Itunes and restarting my computer and none of that has worked.

    It is iTunes 11.1.4
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or               
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

  • 4g iPod touch not recognized by iTunes

    I have a 4g iPod touch that is not recognized by iTunes, yet my old Shuffle still is. I went through the entire Apple assistant but no change in status.

    After going through list of actions a second time, I have corrected the problem.
    It started working properly after a proper uninstall and re-installation of iTunes. I had done it once, but I didn't root out ALL the files associated with iTunes.
    You have to find and delete every last one of those little suckers!

  • Why is an authorized MacBk Pro not recognized in iTunes?

    I'm using a MacBk Pro that iTunes says is authorized, but it is not showing up in my devices. It would be the 4th one as I just reauthorized the iPod because I thought that would help, but it didn't. THe other recognized and showing up in devices are iPad, iPhone and an Mac desktop.
    I'm not sure which community to post to, MacBk Pro? iTunes? Cloud? I feel like such a dolt not being able to figure this out, but I've looked at all I know to look for.
    I've had unfortunate lucky lately in the communities as I've asked a couple of questions in the past week or so and not gotten any response or suggestions. Am I not providing enough information to get support?
    The MacBk Pro is OS X 10.8.5
    iTunes is: 11.4
    Thanks for any help or direction or recommendations, as in where should I go for support?

  • IPod Touch NOT recognized in iTunes : HELP NEEDED

    My Ipod Touch is NOT being recognized by itunes.
    -Ipod Touch 3g with 4.3 software
    -iTunes 10.2
    -PC: HP Pavilion Dv6.
    -OS: Windows 7 64-bit [Eng]
    Ok so... I previously kept my ipod touch version as 3.1.3, and only used itunes 9.2 because I tried using itunes 10.1 and my ipod wouldn't work with it, so I downgraded back to itunes 9.2.
    With this, everything was working perfectly fine.
    I recently bought an app from the app store (Infinity Blade) and tried to sync and install it onto my ipod touch 3g.
    itunes had a popup reading that it couldn't be installed as my software had to be 4.1 or higher.
    So, I decided to update my ipod.
    Like I said above, I tried using itunes 10.1 with my ipod but it wouldn't recognize it then either, so I went back to using itunes 9.2.
    Because of this, I had to manually install the 4.3 software onto my ipod.
    Tried using my newly updated ipod (4.3) on my itunes 9.2, and it said it didn't work, that I needed the new itunes.
    So, I installed iTunes 10.2, plugged in my ipod touch 3g with 4.3 software,
    my computer said it downloaded the Apple Device drivers successfully. My ipod shows that it is being charged, but it is still not being recognized in itunes.

    Nothing huh? No one's had this problem or this isn't fixable... oh well... if anybody comes up with anything I'll check in occasionally...

  • IPOD touch not recognized by itunes after reinstalling OS because of crash

    My IPOD Touch isn't recognized by ITUNES after the OS got reinstalled. I hook it up and ITunes doesn't respond, it's like it isn't even connected.
    I've restarted both devices (nothing), I've tried both USB ports (they're fine), nothing. Any suggestions?

  • Ipod touch not recognized by Itunes V10

    Hi, my daughter's IPod Touch is not being recognized by Itunes. Issue seems to have arisen with V10 but not 100% sure. My PC will recognize her IPod touch, and her PC will recognize my older IPod model. Reloaded Itunes, and updated IPod touch software. Also went thru MSCONFIG to attempt to resolve conflicts. Tried multiple USB ports. When I plug in the IPod touch Windows seems to think it is a camera device.
    Any suggestions??

    Found an answer that worked in the thread "IPod recognized as digital camera". Advice posted on 7/28 by Masta of Disasta worked. It's a bit different with XP but substantially the same process and ITunes now recognizes the IPod Touch.
