Apple will not help you fix your jailbroken iPod. Have you tried to place he iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes. For recovery mode:

Next try DFU mode.

Window 8 is not recognizing my Ipod touch and I can no longer sync to I tunes

I can not sync my Ipod to Itunes in Windows 8. The device doesn't show in Itunes.

See
iOS: Device 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

My computer is not recognizing my IPod Touch, therefore I can not sync.

My computer is not recognizing my Ipod touch. I have used all the help tips and tried different usb ports with no change. The only other thing I can think of is that since I lost my cable for the Ipod, I am using the cable for my Iphone. Would this cause the problem? The cables seem to be the exact same, but perhaps I am mistaken.

ITunes not recognizing original IPod touch after new one installed

Hi Jim,
Thank you for your reply to my posting about iTunes not recognizing my iPod Touch after upgrading to Leopard.
iPods & Finder. Some other postings incorrectly lead me to believe that the iPod would show up in the "Finder". Thanks for setting me straight on this.
iTunes Not Recognizing iPod Touch. Prior to your posting, I had already read the article you referenced (to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service per article "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747").
Prior to your posting, I had also read other articles in various "Apple Discussions" (forums) that suggested this recognition problem could be resolved by uninstalling/re-installing iTunes 8.0.2. Some implied that you could just re-install iTunes 8.0.2 right over the currently installed one without bothering to uninstall it.
Based on those postings, I "gambled" last night and simply downloaded and re-installed iTunes 8.0.2 (without uninstalling it first). I noticed during the installation that the Apple Mobile Device agent you referenced was also re-installed. Well, my gamble paid off! After the installation (and a reboot?), iTunes onces again RECOGNIZED my iPod Touch.

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?

ITunes Not Recognizing my iPod Touch after Upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

After upgrading from Tiger (10.4.x) to Leopard (10.5.0=>10.5.6), my iPod Touch is no longer recognized by iTunes 8.0.2. The iPod Touch no longer appears in iTunes' "source list" (left side pane in iTunes' GUI).
Immediately prior to that upgrade, my iPod Touch was working great with Tiger (10.4.x). iTunes 8.0.2 recognized it (listed it in sources) and always synchronized with it successfully.''
My iPod Touch is also not shown in the Finder. However, it does show up as recognized in iPhoto.
Any ideas on how to get the iPod recognized again in iTunes under Leopard?

Thanks to a posting by Jim in a different Apple Discussions (forum), my problem is now resolved. Read on for the details.

Windows and itune not recognizing my ipod shuffle

i got ipod shuffle 2 weeks before .it was working for 2 days. after that i got no response frm other day.now my windows and itune is not showing my ipod and when i connect it to my system orange light blink for three times and then stops.
please do help me...

I've downloaded itunes, tried researching and
troubleshooting til I'm blue! I plug in the ipod and
the only thing my device manager shows is USB mass
storage device. By the way, my ipod did NOT come with
an installation disc. And yes it's fully charged. The
orange lights up while charging and when I plug in
the ear pods the blue light stays lit.
IF the GREEN LED stays lit continuously, SOMETHING is seriously wrong with the Shuffle! READ the following
article, "Understanding iPod shuffles status lights", especially the part on " Using iPod shuffle to play music"
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300553
iTunes is not recognizing the ipod either (as my
friend said it should)
I even installed itunes on a friends' computer and
had the same problem. I just got this for my son for
Christmas and needless to say he's a bit
disappointed.
Did I buy a lemon?
Perhaps...but they're Not ALL lemons by any means.
Please help!!!

ITunes in Windows XP 64 bit not recognizing my iPod Touch

I recently switched to XP 64 bit and after much much messing around I finally got itunes installed and running (how is a whole nother thread's worth that I'll see about answering later). But now it won't recognize my iPod Touch. Any suggestions on how to make this happen?

I did a restore. Not from backup, though, as I had not done a backup prior to the restore. However, in the process of the restore, it asked if I wanted to back up and I said yes.
The restore concluded, and then it asked if I wanted to put the backed-up stuff back on the iPod, and I said yes.
Then I did the sync. It seemed to be working. It went through 3 steps and stayed on step 3 for a while. Then it ended, and there was nothing on the iPod. The "Music" button opens a screen that says "no content."
Then I did a sync test from Help->Diagnostics. This is what was displayed on the command window:
Performing Sync Diagnostics for iTunes
reporting PE file versions
reporting time zones
Enabling Sync Logging
Starting Sync
2013-03-13 02:59:11.896 syncli.exe[3188:e6c] setting one shot sync group for client con.apple.MobileSync.6f93c87e3101b680446936d817872280c801eb54

Waiting for Sync to finish
...Disabling Sync Logging
The test ended "successfully" (with a green light, etc).
Don't you think that "no registered client con.apple.MobileSync.blahblahblah..." is significant? Seems like it was unable to do the sync because some program or process or whatever was missing.
So, still not synching. Is there anything else I can try? Thanks...

ITunes suddenly not recognizing my iPod Touch 4g

I got a new 32gb iPod Touch, 4th Generation, last week. Everything's been working fine. Then, this morning, I went to sync my iPod and iTunes didn't open automatically. I opened it manually and it hung for a few seconds then worked again but my iPod wasn't showing up. I checked in Windows Explorer and my iPod was definitely connected. To clarify, I'm using iTunes 10.1.1.4 (64-bit version) under Windows 7 Home, 64-bit.
I went through all the steps in all the appropriate KB articles and nothing worked. I tried stripping all traces (AppData, iTunes Library, registry entries, etc.) of any Apple software and reinstalling and still no luck.
I tried placing my iPod in Recovery mode and, lo, iTunes recognizes it. I figured it must be an issue with the iPod. So I, reluctantly, did a restore. Everything went fine until the point where the iPod restarts. iTunes does not recognize my iPod. So now my iPod is stuck in a factory reset state (screen with the picture of the USB cord and the arrow to the iTunes icon) and iTunes 10.1 won't recognize it. It's not showing up in Windows Explorer at this point but the Apple Mobile Device USB driver is showing in Device Manager.
I read one post where someone had success rolling back to iTunes 9 then updating to 10.1 that way. I tried this. While it didn't work, it did show me something interesting: Although iTunes 9 could not sync with my newer iPod, it DID recognize it and tell me to update.
Finally, I tried rolling back to version 7.9.2 of CoreAudioToolbox.dll. Still no luck.
Since then, I've managed to sync just fine with iTunes 10 running under a Windows XP Virtual Machine in VMWare Workstation. I've also synced just fine with CopyTrans manager, an iTunes alternative (although it's not very powerful and doesn't sync files for apps ie: Can't add videos for VLC Player). Seeing as these worked, I can rule out problems with the iPod and problems with my Windows install. It seems to be localized to iTunes running under Windows 7.
Futhermore, I've realized that I can't view the 'Devices' tab in iTunes preferences. If I click on it, iTunes just hangs and stops responding. The tab becomes highlighted, but the content below stays as whatever tab I was previously on. This specific symptom seems like something to me that might clearly indicate what trouble my iTunes is having - an overall issue with devices - but every combination of search terms that I can think of turns up nothing.
My hope is that someone here will know what this means, what files and/or registry entries I have to delete and or replace? Did I miss something when I cleared everything iTunes related out of my system before? I must have, since the issues carry over from install to install.
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

How did you get the VMWare sync to work? I hate Apple at this point.

HT1923 I had Windows 7 and Itunes recognized my Ipod Touch with no issues. Now that I've upgraded to Windows 8 I can't get my Ipod Touch to be recognized by Itunes. Any suggestions?

I can't seem to get my Ipod touch to be recognized by Itunes now that I'm using my new upgraded Windows 8 Pro. Has anyone else experienced this problem and do you have a solution?
Thanks.

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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

USB device not recognized win7 iPod Touch 1g

My computer will not recognize my 1st Gen Ipod Touch 8gb when I plug it into my USB port. I get a message USB Device Not Recognized. I've tried everything from resetting the iPod, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and all other Apple related programs, to fiddling with the settings in my Device Manager. It will only recognize it as an Unknown Device, not even an Apple device.
What should I do? I just got this thing through a trade, it's clean, wifi works fine, in great condition. I just don't know what to do! It won't show up in iTunes at all, won't show up as a mass storage device, nothing. I am running Windows 7. I've also tried using different cords, different usb ports, and another computer. None of that made a difference.
