Why wont my ipod connect to my computer?

I've gone through all the steps.
I've reset my ipod
Put it in diskmode it only says okay to disconnect
changed usb ports
changed cables
made sure the cable worked with other ipods
used other computers.
Nothing I've done works, it doesnt show up on my computer at all, im getting so frustrated with it. Any helps?

How do you know it's charging then? Has this iPod ever successfully connected to this particular PC? Does anything appear in Device Manager when you plug it in? To access Device Manager, click Start and right->click on Computer and choose Manage. When the window appears make sure Device Manager is selected on the left. Then plug in your iPod and see if it appears anywhere such as in the USB Root section or the like.

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

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
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests

My ipod touch 4 generation wont charger or connect to my computer but it will charge using a wall charger. The battery was dead so I plugged it in to the Computer and it charged it enough to come on and now that it is on, it wont charger or register. My sister has the same ipod as me and has no problems charging hers on our computer. Please Help me!!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why wont my ipad connect to wifi ???

why wont my ipad connect to wifi ???

You just aren't suppling us with enough information. Are you trying to connect to the WiFi at home or at work? Will other WiFi devices connect successfully with that WiFi access-point? Is your WiFi access point showing up on the list of available access points when you're trying to connect to it from the iPad, or are you being forced to manually enter it in? We really need more info about your specific situation before we can help.
Thanks,
L.

Why wont my iPad connect to the closest/strongest wifi?

Why wont my iPad connect to the closest/strongest wifi at home? It alway defaults to the one upstairs even when I am right next to our extender in the kitchen?

Try #5.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Has the iPhone ever worked with your computer?
For the charging issue, take a look at this Apple doc -> iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
If that doesn't also take care of the iPhone not being recognized problem, one of these Apple docs should help ya out:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
