Windows 8 not connecting to IPod touch

I have 4G IPod Touch I bought several years ago.  My PC died so now I have new Windows 8. I was able to get my songs and apps on ITunes, but when I hit sync it’s not recognizing the IPod.  I can’t get my songs back on my Touch.

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Run this to help if it identifies the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?

  • ITunes 11.1.5 (5) does not connect my iPod Touch

    Hi,
    My iPod Touch, 3rd generation is not recognised by iTunes 11.1.5 (5). I'm on Mac OSX Snow Leopard.
    It was working fine before the latest iTunes release.
    Thanks

    Have you also gone through the link that I provided in my above post and followed the steps as mentioned in that Apple Support kb ?
    Aslo if you have a different Apple Usb Sync Cable for your iPod then try connecting with that to a different Usb port on your Mac and see if that works, but also once go through the above Apple Support kb. And if possible then try to connect your iPod to a different Computer and check if its detecting there, but before you connect your iPod to a different computer make sure you disable Auto Sync feature on that Computer and to do that open iTunes on the other computer> click on iTunes in the Menu bar (for Mac) or go to Edit (on windows)> Preferences> Devices Tab> and check the option next to Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing Automatically.

  • 10.5 will not connect to iPod Touch - Spinning beachball

    iTunes 10.5 will not connect to my iPod touch (I had no problems with the previous version).
    Now all I get is a spinning beach ball and iTunes locks up.

    Confirmed!
    after letting it sit for about 10min it unfroze and synched the iphone
    after disconnecting and connecting again it froze for about 15sec and then synced.
    Looks like a similar issue a few years back where the sync froze too.
    would still need a bugfix, even it only effects some machines.
    Others connect and let it run unattended so they might not notice.

  • Need help. My wifi with comcast works on my PC, but not with apple,ipod touch or ipad air.

    My comcast wifi works with my PC but can not connect my ipod touch or the ipad air.  Pls. help.    Thanks.

    Do the iOS devices connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Do the iOS devices see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - 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.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Often, when I connect my iPod Touch to the PC, instead of it showing up as a device in iTunes, a window pops up that says I have connected a camera, and asks what to do.  It is really annoying when this happens, because sometimes I cannot update my iPod

    Often, when I connect my iPod Touch 2G to the PC, instead of showing up as a device on iTunes, a pop-up appears that says I have connected a camera and asks what I want to do.  This device doesn't have a camera in it.  When this happens, (not always)I can't update my iPod, no matter how many times I try to connect it.  I have an old Nano that has never had this problem at all.  Can anyone tell me what to do about this?

    Windows Firewall is on.
    iTunes is NOT enabled in Windows Firewall.
    We'd better check on that, kris. If you enable iTunes in your Windows firewall, does that help with your connection? See the following document for instructions:

    EDIT: Drat ... gave you the link to the wrong document. Try this one instead for your Vista:

  • ITunes for Windows 7, 64-bit version not connecting to iPod

    Hi, everyone! I'm having problems connecting my iPod Touch to iTunes version 11.0.1.12. I'm running Windows 7, 64-bit version on my PC. Whenever I open iTunes with my iPod Touch connected to my PC, iTunes immediately gives me the following error message:
    "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes."
    This confuses me because I already have the 64-bit version for Windows 7 installed on my PC. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the 64-bit version three times; however, I'm still getting the same error message whenever I connect my iPod Touch and open iTunes.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    now nothing happens when I connect the iPod by USB - it's not even charging.
    Do you have a laptop, Nin?
    If so, the following document might be of some assistance with that:

    (That issue seems to match your recognition and charging symptoms.)

  • My Windows XP machine does not recognize my iPod Touch

    Hello,
    I just bought a second-hand iPod Touch (4-gen, 32GB). My Windows XP laptop is giving no indication that anything is attached to it at all. The "found new hardware" wizard does not open. The little icon that allows you to eject safely before detaching doesn't show up in the tray. No external devices are listed on My Computer.
    I've spent a couple of days looking through previous posts in this forum and I did a little troubleshooting. This is what I can tell you so far:
    The iPod is working - I can play music on it, use a few apps, etc.
    I tried two different USB cables and neither one worked.
    The Apple Mobile Device Support DOES appear in my Add/Remove programs list
    But the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is NOT in the USB controllers list.
    I had iTunes running before I hooked up the USB cable to the iPod.
    I tried to look for iTunes updates, but was unable to access the site. (Yes, I was connected to the Internet - following directions on this site. ) I don't remember what version of iTunes I have (I'm not at home right now), but it's not the latest.
    Until a couple of weeks ago, I had an iPod classic 5-gen that I was able to sync with iTunes, no problem. It's only the iPod touch that doesn't work.
    Most users who ask about this problem do seem to get some recognition on their computer that there is some sort of device attached.They seem to have more issues with iTunes. So most similar questions direct to the "iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows" article. This article seems to assume that the computer has responded in some way to the iPod, even if incorrectly - but mine doesn't respond at all.
    Can someone recommend a troubleshooting article that addresses the more basic problem of Windows not recognizing the iPod?
    Thank you,
    Joyce

    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

    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...

    Do you have Logitech or other USB camera software installed on the computer? This article says iPhone in the title but relates to the iPod touch also.
