Why won't my iPod Touch 4 connect to iTunes or my computer?

I'm trying to connect my iPod 4th generation to iTunes but it won't. Can anyone help me?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iPhone, iPad, or iPod 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 Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Why won't my iPod touch connect to my iTunes on windows 7?

      It has nothing to do with the usb, restarting the computer or ipod, restoring the ipod, or any of that. What else could it be?

    It's not an ipod problem. It connects to my computer and charges, it just won't connect to iTunes.
    I don't have the newer version of iTunes because it won't let me install it. Whenever I try to update my itunes to the newer version this pops up:

  • Why won't my iPod shuffle connect to itunes?

    I just bought the iPod Shuffle 4th Generation and downloaded iTunes onto my laptop today. The Shuffle won't connect to my iTunes or my computer properly.
    When I connected it to the computer (Windows 7), it said "unable to sync device" or something like that. I know it's not my USB ports because everything seems to work with it EXCEPT for the Shuffle. In iTunes, the Shuffle won't even show up in the devices. It's not my first time using iTunes. I used to have it on my old computer, but this is the first time this has ever happened to me. In terms of the Shuffle itself, I turned it on and pressed play and it just keeps saying "please use iTunes to music onto this device"
    I already tried the troubleshooting guide, but that doesn't seem to work either ...

    If that error message says "unknown device" (it's not about syncing), the cause may be iTunes not being installed properly.  When iTunes is installed, it also installs drivers that allow Windows to recognize iPods.  You should try installing iTunes again.  You can download the latest iTunes installer here

    If that does not help, you may need to completely uninstall iTunes (and related components), then reinstall

  • Why won't my iPod Touch sync before iTunes crashes?

    Last night, I tried to sync my new iPod Touch for the first time. I plugged it in and iTunes recognized it, and the 6 step process began. However, every time it reaches the 2nd step iTunes will shut down all by itself. It is very frustrating since it is a new iPod and iTunes works decently before. Help?
    I have also tried re-installing iTunes on the same computer, and the same problem occured. MAybe it was just me, but I am not sure what else to do.

  • Why won't my iPod touch sync with iTunes?

    I recently bought a new song and wanted to put it on my iPod.  Every time I went to sync it "timed out" and wouldn't show up on my iPod (ie the sync failed).  I tried updating iTunes.  My iPod won't get any new updates since its 2nd generation.  I've tried the diagnostics and everything checks out okay there.  My computer is up to date.  I thought I'd try to do a restore and now I have less songs and none of my apps.  It's now getting "stuck" on other songs from my collection.  Any help?

    Okay, so I think it may be the cable b/c when I hold it just right it works much better.  It still will get stuck on certain songs but when I try again it works.

  • Why won't my ipod touch gen 5 play audio on my Sony speaker dock

    Why won't my ipod touch gen 5 play audio on my Sony RDP-X30iP speaker dock. I have bought a lightning adapter and find that there is no audio from the speaker dock and the dock does not charge the ipod.

    - Reset the dock
    - Go to Sony's support site and check to see if they say it will work with a 5G iPod touch (w/adopter).
    Also look for a firmware update.
    Sometimes this works:
    - 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.
    Or, it just may not be compatible.

  • Remote App on IPod Touch Connect to ITunes on Win7

    Is anyone having a problem making the Remote APP on ipod touch connect to ITunes on Win7 over WiFi? Itunes sees it alright, asks for a Passcode which the ipod supplies, considers it and then says it is invalid. I'm open to suggestions.

    Yes it is, I click on the "Remote" button, type the passcode into iTunes, it thinks for a while then comes back and says "invalid passcode". The two are communicating or iTunes wouldn't show the "Remote" button or display the passcode entry window.

  • HT201263 so my friend disabled my ipod to the point that the ipod said "iPod disabled connect to iTunes" but my computer wont connect to iTunes beacuse iTunes is saying that it's not connected to the internet when my interenet is working just fine, so wha

    So my friend had my iPod and he disabled it to where it said "iPod disabled connect to iTunes" but my computer will not connect to iTunes and I really need to know if there's a way I can restore my iPod?

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    Hello, friend. If you are Mac user, you can use iPhoto to import the camera pictures from iPod touch to iTunes. If you are Win user, you may try this iPod file manager, it can help you copy pictures and videos from iPod to computer, then you can drag and drop the files into iTunes.
