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:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Next try DFU mode.

Connect your iPod to any computer with iTunes installed, highlight your device and try syncing the apps only. If it doesn't work might have to restore through iTunes. With the new iTunes and iCloud beta, you can have the iTunes list what apps are missing on your device but if you had previously purchased in the past and then have iTunes install them. You should always get in the habit of backing up your iPhone whenever you do any firmware/OS updating/upgrading or transferring over to new device. I really really really really hope you can get back at least some of your old info. I will tell you this, I have been kicking myself in the butt for not routinely backing up my iPhone when my beautiful special iPhone 4 came up missing and had to revert back to my 3GS. iPhone 5 will be released in a few months so I am holding off on purchasing a new iPhone til then, not that I did so without reservation and a little bit of iPhone 4 withdraw.

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:
How to enable iTunes in the Windows XP Firewall
EDIT: Drat ... gave you the link to the wrong document. Try this one instead for your Vista:

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.

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

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 is not recognizing my iPod Touch After iTunes froze during a sync!

Okay... i was syncing my second gen iPod Touch (16gb) with iTunes and everything was going normally, until iTunes froze on my windows PC!!!
Then, i had to use ctrlaltdel (task manager) to end task for iTunes. When i restarted iTunes to try and sync my iPod Touch, it asked me if i wanted to enable syncing. I clicked yes, and then it said sync services could not find information on this device.
I had NEVER tried to jailbreak my iPod Touch, i just installed 3.0 yesterday, and sync was working perfectly. I didnt have any problems.
Please help me. How do i fix this? i looked on apple.com and they said to reinstate the Apple Mobile Device Service, which i DID. i followed their instructions to the letter, but nothing has worked. Im really scared! i payed $300 for this iPod and while everything works, it wont let me sync to iTunes!!!

OK, no need to panic. Most everything is fixable.
First off, reset your touch. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons down together until you see the Apple logo. Let go and let it restart.
Reboot your PC. When it is done, check to see if Apple Mobile Device Services are running. If they are, plug in your iPod. What happens?
Does anything pop up like a camera notification, or your PC reports it can't recognize this device?
If you get the camera notification, you will have to disable that before itunes will see your iPod. Search Support for an answer to that.
If you are still having problems, completely remove all Apple software from your computer (iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Services, QuickTime) and download and re-install iTunes.

Hi Moclam12,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPod classic is formatted for Windows, and you want to sync it with your Mac, try to force the iPod into Disk Mode and then restore it using your Mac.

MAC and iTunes is not recognizing my 5th generation iPod touch with smaller charger plug. What can I do to fix?

MAC and iTunes is not recognizing my 5th generation iPod touch with smaller charger plug. What can I do to fix?

I susopect you have the 5G iPod
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
You need iTunes 11.1 or later and that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

My ipod classic turns on with apple logo then shuts off about 30 seconds later, when plugged in my windows and itunes will not recognize it.

earlier my itunes told me that my files were corrupted and I needed to restore, so I did. In the middle of the restore I lost internet connection. Now my computer and Itunes will not recognize my Ipod and if it is not plugged in when I turn the Ipod on it only shows the apple logo then shuts off after 30 seconds. If it is plugged in it will charge, but Itunes and Windows will not recognize it. I have tried the menu + select shutoff multiple times with no change. All it will say while it is charging is do not disconnect.

The clicking sound is your iPod Hardisk, trying to retract and find the boot sector unsuccesfully.
Hopefully, you can do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as in this great post by tt2., it wont fix your problem, but let you know, how dire is your Hardisk health.
So only as a last resort, one way, to get the stuck Hardisk head free, is to bang the iPod on a rubber mouse pad, when you reset it, but do it at your own risk, some very lucky guys got it working again for the next 14 months, like myself.
