what do i do if my pc wont recognize my ipod touch

I had the same problems following the updater update on my ipod and pc. it became so bad that the mini pod became fried and i brought it back under warranty for a new one (and service charge of about $35 to swap them out!). When I got home I reinstalled all of the software from installation to itunes and it seemed to work. then i updated as prompted to the newer ipod software and got a serious error message again like before on my ipod and off and on recognition on itunes. i erased software again, reset pod a few times, and reinstalled without allowing the ipod updater to do anything to the original software. now it works again. warning against the updater. keep it old and simple.

Just let the battery drain until the screen shuts off. When you charge it back up it should boot up normally.

Why ITunes do not recognize my iPod Touch

Hi everybody!
I have an IPod Touch and for some weeks, I have big problems with ITunes I can not solve. Let me explain:
Initially, it worked fine. Then one day, decided that ITunes does not recognize my IPod Touch, more precisely it do not read more.
When I plug my IPod Touch, ITunes tries to read it and then a message appears saying: «ITunes can not read the contents of the IPod xxxx». Then they told me to restore my IPod to restore the original settings, I tried but it did not work either because after a while a message appears telling me that my internet connection failed while yet it works!!?!!
Then I tried to solve the problem in the tab «Help» ITunes under «establish a diagnosis» and then the test tells me that there is no IPod detected while my IPod is plugged and recognized in Windows Vista. It tells me: «ITunes could not connect to the IPod xxxx because the record is missing the match.» What does that mean??
I also tried everything in the Apple support and nothing worked. My IPod ans ITunes are up to date. I even uninstalled ITunes and any Apple product for the reinstalled everything but it still does not work.
Does anyone can help me??
I confess that I am discouraged and frustrated.
Thank you in advance!
Zazzz
P.S. Sorry for my English.... I'm French, but I try to speak English for speak with you!
Bonjour tout le monde!
J'ai un IPod Touch et depuis quelques semaines, j'ai de gros problèmes avec ITunes que je n'arrive pas à résoudre. Je vous explique:
Au départ, tout fonctionnait bien. Puis un jour, ITunes a décidé qu'il ne reconnait plus mon IPod Touch, plus précisémment il ne le lie plus. Lorsque je branche mon IPod Touch, ITunes essaie de le lire puis un message s'affiche me disant: «ITunes ne peut pas lire le contenu de l'IPod xxxx». Puis on me dit de restaurer mon IPod afin de rétablir les paramètres d'origine, ce que j'ai essayé mais ça ne fonctionne pas non plus car après un temps un message s'affiche me disant que ma connexion internet a échoué alors que pourtant elle fonctionne!!?!!
Puis, j'ai essayé de résoudre le problème dans l'onglet «aide» d'ITunes sous établir un diagnostique et là, le test me dit qu'il n'y a aucun IPod détecté alors que mon IPod est bien branché et reconnu dans Windows Vista. On me dit aussi: « ITunes n'a pu se connecter à l'IPod xxxx car l'enregistrement du jumelage est manquant». Qu'est-ce que ça veut dire??
J'ai aussi tout essayer dans le support d'Apple et rien n'a fonctionné. Mon IPod et ITunes sont à jour. J'ai même désinstallé ITunes et tout les produit Apple pour tout réinstallé mais ça ne fonctionne toujours pas. :-(
Est-ce que quelqu'un peut m'aider??!!
J'avoue que je suis découragée et frustrée.
Merci d'avance!

Vista will not recognize my iPod

I have an iPod video and my Vista system will not recognize it. I downloaded and installed iTunes 7.5XX, but I still can not get it to recognize the iPod. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think I had the same problem as you guys, Vista wouldn't recognize my ipod but it was seen in device manager as a mass storage device. What happen to me was vista ask me if I wanted to format my ipod so it would work with vista like a dummie I said yes and from that time on it was not seen in my computer and in itunes. I ended up putting it on a new computer, when I installed itunes I plug in my ipod and this time itunes seen it and told me it was corruped, I was able to backup the music and videos I had on it to the new computer then I did a restore on the ipod and now all work good.

Why will my iPad 2 not recognize any iPod cables? I have tried two different cables in both the wall and in my laptop, but it will not register that it is receiving power, nor will the laptop recognize that they are connected.

Crizzo is right, the best way to charge is with the included power block. That said, the USB cords are interchangable as far as an of us know. (just not power bricks, iPhone and iPod bricks put out 5W of power, the iPad wants 10W and will always say 'not charging' if plugged into less power than it requires even though it will charge, just very slowly)
If you have tried to charge your iPad - with the iPad charger - with multiple cables and multiple computers and get no joy then it's time to head to the apple store and have them check it out. The 30 pin USB port can go bad - mine did - and it's a manufacturer's defect (unless there's any sort of obvious damage) and should be covered under the warranty;

Why can't I restore or sync my Ipod Touch?

I have tried many times to sync my Ipod Touch but it wont let me. then I went to restore it and it wont let me do that either. How come?

try connecting the iPod to iTunes in DFU mode:
First, Open up iTunes, plug in your iPod Touch/iPhone to the CPU's USB port. Turn on your CPU's speaker and make sure it is loud enough that you can hear it.
-Hold down the Home button and the Power button simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off.
-Now let go of the Power button, but continue to hold the Home button. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should have turned off and the screen should not be on.
-After around ~10-20 seconds, you will hear a noise (beep/ding) from your CPU as if it had just recognized a new hardware device, now iTunes should recognize it in DFU mode.
-After iTunes recognizes the iPod Touch/iPhone, let go of the Home button otherwise it will go into recovery mode and you will have to do the entire DFU process over again.

Itunes recognizes my ipod touch, but my computer still thinks it's a camera (and the drive only has pictures as a result; no music).

I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 7, and wanted to transfer my music from my old laptop onto it. Itunes on my new laptop would only let me transfer purchases, and not music that I got from CDs. So, seeing as I didn't have any sort of storage device handy to back up my old itunes library onto, I decided to just transfer my music straight from my ipod touch to my new laptop. I had done this many times before both for myself and for friends, so I was familiar with the process. What you do is you make sure that hidden files can be viewed, and you select "manually manage music..etc" in itunes so your device shows up as its own drive in My Computer. Then you click on that and you should find your music folders. Unfortunately, because my computer recognizes my iPod touch as a digital camera, the folders only had my pictures, and none of my music. I tried to update the driver and change it to usbaapl, the Apple Mobile Device USB driver. However, my device manager keeps saying: "The best driver software is already installed" or something like that. The driver Windows automatically installs is MTP USB device. I've tried uninstalling it but as soon as I plug my ipod back in it just re-installs the wrong driver again. So, is there any fix to this problem or will I just have to go invest in a flash drive to transfer my music?

Startng wth the iPhone and iPod Touch, Apple stopped supportng "disc mode" (and that's why your iPod Touch isn't "Aplle format" or "Windows format"). You access the musc, apps, calendars, etc. through iTunes, and you access the photos through the camera interface.
Windows is not "installing the wrong driver" you are just assuming that the device operates in a way that the newer devices no longer support. There are some 3rd party aps that will allow you to sync music from your iPod to your PC, but I have never used them so I can't tell you how well they work. I do seem to recall that XPlay2 was one of the names that supposedly supported doing that though...

ITunes will not recognize my Ipod touch.

iTunes will not recognize my Ipod touch. It attempts to perform a recovery, but must restore first. but the restore fails, gives my 1604 code. I have switched cords, USB ports all with no success. I have a second touch (an older generation), a 160 GB Ipod & a shuffle that all work fine. Not sure where to go. One place said that I should reinstall iTunes, but wasn't sure if I would lost my library and apps. Pleas advise. Thanks.

Try to reinstall iTunes as explained in this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Backup your iTunes before, just in case. Apps and other bought media from iTunes can be downloaded again for free:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Why does Apogee Jam not work with the Ipod Touch 4G

Hi,
I have a Apogge Jam an it works fine with my Mac Book, but it does not seem to be compatible with my Ipod Touch 4g.
Only the Gibbson L&M app recognize the Apogee Jam, but no other App (Ampkit, ....) :-((
With the IPhone 4 it shall work, can tell me anybody why Apogee Jam is not compatible with the Ipod Touch 4g (
although the Gibson-App works)?
Is there perhaps still other Apps which work with the Ipod Touch and Apogge Jam?
Thanks
Michael

I cannot answer the specifics, but I would guess it is a software issue because Griffin iTalk app will cooperate with the Apogee JAM on an iPod Touch 4g running iOS5. If this app can do it, then one would presume the other apps could be updated to do it also.
From last week up until yesterday, Apogee actually listed the 4G Touch as a compatible device with the JAM.
Apparently there was some confusion about Garageband now supporting iPod Touch and its functionality with JAM.

Windows 7 does not recognize my iPod touch 5--doesn't even charge the device. HELP!

My computer at work will not recognize my iPod touch generation 5. I've had increasing problems and now today when I plug it into the USB port, it will not recognize it.
I've uninstalled all the Apple, iTunes etc. software and reinstalled, I've rebooted the computer 3-4 times. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the USB driver.
It will not work. Ideas?
