I'm trying to get my iPod touch 5G to connect with iTunes. It shows up in my computer but not in iTunes. I recently got a new hard drive and downloaded iTunes. I am currently logged into iTunes. Please help! I have tried every trick in the book, but nothing works!
Thanks for the tip about the TMP files. I just wanna chime in here and say I'm having the same issue on XP and it is PERSISTENT. Also, I'm pretty sure I updated a week or two ago and other than some slightly sluggish response when hitting the play button, everything has worked fine until yesterday. I ran itunes with no problems, closed it and a few hours later started it up again and there were no playlists.
I restored it with a three month old copy from my "previous libraries" folder and then started to rebuild what I'd lost. Last night it was fine. This morning it was also fine and I finished rebuilding the playlists that had been made since the last previous library backup. While iTunes was still running, I went into my My Music/iTunes folder to copy the itunes library.itl, only to discover that it wasn't there! I know it was there last night, because I made a copy of it.
And, as you might suspect, when I closed iTunes then reopened it, all my playlists were gone again. Also interesting is that my iTunes folder is filling up with TMP files like I've never seen before. Right now there are 91 of them!
I managed to restore all my work up to this point by renaming the SECOND TO LAST tmp file (the last one was 25 megs and was not recognized as a valid itl file by iTunes) and sure enough, as soon as I close iTunes, the file vanishes and when I reopen iTunes, all my playlists are gone again.
So this isn't simply an issue with things getting lost during an upgrade, whatever the bug is, it's persistent and I'm losing all my playlists and library info every other time I run iTunes!
Is it possible to roll back to a previous version?

I have a new computer that runs windows 8. My itunes is installed but will not recognize my ipod touch. Any suggestions?
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:
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 have an Ipod Touch - 2nd Generation 16GB iPod. It has IOS 4.2.1 installed on it.
My Ipod Touch is still functioning but will not let me connect it with my computer so the ipod is not shown or iTunes or Windows. It was last working on the 19th of January using Itunes 10. I then updated to iTunes 11 and have only attempted to reconnect my ipod today (29/01/13) to no avail.
I have attempted to connect my ipod touch with 3 different cables, none of which have worked despite all of these working when I attempted to charge the iPod using an external charger. The Ipod has worked as normally, allowing me to utilize all the available features. I have attempted to resolve this problem myself and have attempted the use of differ cables, as described above. I have also tried to restore the Ipod and have turned the device on and off, numerous times. Furthermore, I have also turned off the Apple Mobile Device and have turned it back on but it has not rectified the problem.
Thank you for your help in advance.
The Ipod shows up in Itunes as "Window's Ipod" but won't let me manually sync through devices or restore. I can't seem to click on the "window's Ipod box to cjange it back to "my Ipod" either. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes and used different USB ports and still no change.
Just ordered an ipod touch 4G and am also on the verge of buying a new laptop. Will my new ipod work with Windows 8 or only Windows 7 as this is what is listed on the required system specification.
I'm about to buy an iPod Touch 5 (in a few hours actually) and got to thinking, today I have a Windows laptop but as soon as I have the $$$ I'm getting a MacBook Pro (a few months, so I don't want to wait til I have the MBP to use my iPod). As far as I know the iPod has to be formated for either Windows or Mac, can't be both. So I would have to re-format it to work with Mac which is fine.
What i'm wondering is how do I do that in the smoothes way? On the iPod, the music isn't a problem I have it all on the comp anyways, but all the other stuff like photos, apps, mail and all that... is it possible to do a back-up, format iPod to Mac, then put the back-up back on the iPod? Or do I have to save all the things to my comp first, format, then put it back file by file and re-install all other things?
