Why won't my itouch show up in Itunes or in my computer?

When i plug my itouch into my computer, it shows that it's charging but nothing pops up that it's been plugged in and it doesn't show up in my itunes. My itouch and itunes are both up to date. I've already tried unistalling itunes and reinstalling it and it doesn't help. I've also tried the trick where you got to the device manager and look for apple usb something and nothing is there, does anybody have any suggestions?

You have a hardware issue.  Try a different USB port.  If that doesn't work, try a different docking/charging cable.  If that fails, check the USB properties in Device manager.  The ports MUST be USB 2.0.
Also, try using a different computer....

  • Why won't my apps show on my main screens? The only way I can access them is by going back to the App Store and clicking open.

    Why won't my apps show on my main screens? The only way I can access them is by going back to the App Store and clicking open.

    So there are no apps at all on your home screens? Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. If you don't see anything after that, take a look at all of your home screens and folders to see if something is hidden. It that doesn't work, you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • Why won't Firefox automatically show new Hotmail emails or easilly down load attachments when it was working a week ago?

    Why won't Firefox automatically show new Hotmail emails or easily down load attachments when it was working a week ago?

    Hotmail has been having a few hiccups lately I'm afraid.
    If you don't see any emails when you log in, or nothing appears after some time, click in the middle of the grey bar on the left which has the word "'''Inbox'''" in it. This usually causes them to magically appear for some strange reason.
    I've read on on a few blogs that Microsoft is working on the problem, but don't hold your breath.<br><br>

  • Why won't my imac email send unless I restart the whole computer?

    why won't my imac email send unless I restart the whole computer?

    Two things, first see if it shows up in "Apple > About This Mac > More Info.. > Disc Burning" . If you still see it there the system still recognizes it but it isn't responding. Next do a
    SMC RESET

    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
    Hopefully this will reset the power to the drive.

  • HT1510 my iPod shuffle 4th gen won't charge or show up in iTunes

    my iPod shuffle 4th gen won't charge or show up in iTunes when i plug it in to the back of the computer and when the off/on switch is halfway it gives me a solid red light on the iPod battery status light for about five seconds does anyone know what to do

    If you connect it to the Mac with iTunes NOT running, and run Disk Utility, does it appear in the sidebar as a "disk"?  Also, you can run System Profiler or System Information (depending Mac OS X version).  It is in Applications/Utilities/, but you can also run it from the About This Mac window.  Does the shuffle appear as a device under USB?
    The red light when you move the power switch to ON means very low charge in battery.  That probably means the battery is not getting charged when connected.  In terms of hardware, that could mean a bad USB port on Mac, a bad USB cable, or a bad connection on the shuffle.  In any case, power is not getting to the battery.  It might be a bad battery, but if that was the only problem, I think the shuffle would still appear in iTunes when connected.  That's why asked if it appeared in Disk Utility or System Profiler/Information; if it does, the connection is working (even though iTunes does not see it for some reason).
    You can make sure the USB port is working by using something else that is similar (like a USB flash drive) on the same port.  If you happen to have another USB cable, you also try to rule out a bad cable.

  • Why does my ipod touch show up in iTunes then disappear?

    Why does my ipod touch show up in iTunes then disappear?  The computer seems to recognize it as a camera device, rather than a mass storage device.  Does this have anything to do with the problem?  When plugged in, a window pops up asking which photo program you'd like to use, and if you cancel, that's it.  Even if you try to open a photo program, and download your photos off of the ipod, it still won't show up in itunes.

  • Why doesn't my apps show up in iTunes?

    Why doesn't my apps show up in iTunes? I'm on iTunes 11.1.2.31 using an iPad mini on the latest IOS 7.0.3. Could it be that I'm on a new computer and have some settings messed up? See enclosed screenshot. It can obviously detect the number of apps (44), but why aren't they listed in the apps section?

    Do you still have the "Music Video" Smart Playlist in iTunes? If you right click on a video file, which normally shows up under "Movies" you can pick the video type of Movie, Music Video, or TV Show. When you select "Music Video" the video file drops out of the Movies section and if the Music Video playlist is present will show up there.
    You might have deleted that playlist so it wouldn't be on the iPod either.
    So create a Smart Playlist where the rule is Video Kind IS Music Video...
