Why isnt my ipod being recognized?

when i plug in my touch (8gb, 2nd gen.) to my computer it makes a low sound instead of the regular tone it normally makes, it dosnt show up in "my computer" or in the itunes menu. when i run a diagnostic it says theres no ipod connected, its not my cord, i dont think its the ipod, it works on my sisters computer ,and i dont think its my computer because it worked a few months ago, i dont know what i could have done, any solutions or advice?

    why isnt my ipod remembering my home router password, but all others it remembers?

    Certain routers have setting where un-recognized devices automatically get kicked off.  Or else you are connected to someone elses router and they don't like that!  Just ask the service provider.

  • Why is my Ipod not recognized on any computer?

    My 4th gen. IPOD, itself a replacement under warranty after my original died, cannot be recognized on ANY computer - in Itunes, My Computer, Design Mgr, etc. It's not under warranty. What can I do? None of the IPOOD rescue attempts (5 in number) work without the IPOD being recognized. Please help.

  • Ipod being recognized as a digital camera

    After months of perfectly sound use in syncing etc suddenly my ipod is being recognized as a digital camera. I have followed all the instructions in the help sections, I have been to the Authorized service centre, I and the service centre have removed itunes several times and started and restared everything sooooo many times and we have reverted to old versions of itunes too. Still the ipod is being recognized as a camera.
    no one seems to know why this has happened nor how to correct it.
    HELP !!!!!!! (please)

  • IPod being recognized as a different, non-iPod drive

    When I connect my click-wheel pod, it's being recognized in iTunes 5 and 6 not as an iPod but as an entirely different USB drive that's occasionally plugged into the same USB port.
    iTunes reports that the 20GB pod has no music on it and has 60GB of space on it. The second USB drive is a 60GB 2.5-inch hard drive. Interestingly, the name reported is not the name of the second USB drive or the iPod; rather, it's the name of an 80GB networked drive based elsewhere in a home network .
    My system is an HP ze5570us laptop running Win XP Pro, service pack 2. The pod software is v3.0.2.
    I've tried resetting the pod. It doesn't help. I've also tried using other USB ports. That also doesn't help.
    Clearly there's an ID conflict somewhere but I've no idea how to resolve it. Suggestions are welcome.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    This is probably a drive letter conflict caused by your network drive. Check this: Strange iPod behaviour when Windows confuses iPod with network drive

  • Why is my ipod not recognized in itunes and content appears to be lost

    I recently connected my ipod to charge, when itunes did not come up I found that it was open by another user on our pc. I went to close itunes from there session But it was frozen. I had to press control alt delete to end task. When it closed I opened it back up in my windows session and found all my content was lost and it didn't recognize my ipod. itunes wants to reset all settings to factory and delete any content that may still be on there. When the ipod is ejected it shows nothing on there but when i plug it in show my ipod name, and some content appears to still be there, in my computer in usb port (G:). Please help I hope I didn't loose all my music!!!

  • Why isnt my iPod 4g not recognizing/ connecting to my wifi?

    So the Saturday after Thanksgiving, I sent in my ipod to get its screen fixed since it was cracked but it worked fine even with the screen shattered. 2 days ago i have recieved my ipod back and when i turned it on it needed the wifi which i understand. But since i recieved my ipod, it hasnt been working properly wifi wise. It hasnt been recognizing my homes wifi or any type of wifi for that matter. It only pops up when my ipod is directly next to the router. My homes wifi is password protected. Before, it was able to instantly connect to the wifi and i was able to go wherever in the house and it works, now it doesnt. I cant pull my iPod back 5 inches without it disconnecting. The wifi only stays when its next to the router. Why is it doing this and how can i fix it to the way it was?

    Take it back to who replaced the screen. I suspect the antenna got disconnected

  • Why Isnt My Ipod Able to Swipe

    Hi Im Trying To Figure Out Why My Ipod Touch Isnt able to swipe

    If necessary:
    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.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
