iPod touch Itunes not detecting my ipod touch! PLEASE HELP!!!

do you mean when you plug it in nothing happens in itunes?

if it is not detecting it at all do the following....

plug the ipod into the pc/mac, turn on the ipod see if iTunes will detect it, if not hold the home and sleep buttons down on the ipod, keeping them held down the ipod will appear to have switched off ...... keep the buttons held down, now as soon as you see the apple logo let go of the sleep key only and keep the home button held down. Eventually the ipod will display a itunes logo with the usb connection underneath on screen and iTunes should say its detected an ipod in recovery mode, all u need to do now is restore as normal and hope it detects afterwards

Are you sure you plugged it into a USB port? I accidentally plugged mine into the ethernet port lastnight

*smacks*

Get ahold of yourself!

First of all try just leaving it for a while. If the device is low on charge it wont boot or be recognised for a little while.

If this doesn't work, following the instruction above, restore it.

This has happened to me NUMEROUS times in the past when I have Jailbroken my iPod. It also happened the first time i plugged the thing in.

If you are on a Mac, do the following:

Completely Uninstall iTunes
Re-Install It

On my Pre-Reinstall Spotlight Searches, I found that Apple Mobile Device Support was missing, upon reinstalling iTunes, Mobile Device Support was reinstalled allowing iTunes to recognise the iPod Touch (Even though it is an IPOD not an IPHONE, weird it needs 'Apple MOBILE device support' isnt it?)

On Windows, do the same as above but using Add/Remove Programs under Control Panel in the Start Menu.

Cheers!

P.S. This has worked for me loads of times, instead of reinstalling from a Receipt on a Mac, use the DMG. So in other words, re-download iTunes from Apple or it will not work.

P.P.S. Yes, you have no other option but to Re-Download on Windows, unless you kept the Setup Executable. But who does that?

Well i hoped its bricked

Only ppl with iphones should jailbreak FOR UNLOCKING PURPOSE ONLY NOT FOR THIRD PARTY APPS.

i support apple in their view against third party apps on their iphone.. sdk will come soon then they can control it, however i detest their view on unlocking iphones...

however ipod touches shouldnt be jailbroken as they dont need to be unlocked as they arebt phones.. they dont need third party apps apart from sdk-approved ones.
