If iTunes is not recognizing and syncing with the iPod Touch try:

Also try disabling your anti-virus software as this can cause communication issues with iTunes and your iOS device.

connect it to itunes and restore it

download the latest version of itunes from the apple website at

http://www.apple.com/itunes

Then connect it and then reset it

Go on to itunes and plug your mp3 in to your computer
and download it and salect which tunes you want. If it dose not work
there is somethind wrong whith your mp3

You need to put in DFU MODE, and restore your ipod touch.
Easy:
Press The Home Button + power button for 10 seconds. after 10 seconds, press only the Homme button.
And now, connect your ipod touch on itunes and press RESTORE.

Looks like you need to reset your ipod to factory defaults, they are still a really buggy products. Sorry. =(

Let me know if you need anything else.


Thanks,

Hopefully the option wasnt selected to delete the ipod after a certain number of incorrect passcode entries.

When you connect your ipod to itunes its going to reformat it.
(meaning it gets erased, they do it as a precaution)

DONT FORGET THE CODE NEXT TIME!

ipods are only designed for itunes so windows shouldn't recognise media player, any way, the new software for ipod touches is greater, meaning your computer/windows media player wont recognise it, only itunes will.
Cheers

Thanks to everyone who provided solution inputs. I finally have my iPod back. The solution is: 1. Turn of your iPod. 2. While holding down the 'Home' button, connect to iTunes WARNING: Doing this will return your iPod back to original 'out of the box' settings and you will lose everything. On the bright side, you get a 'fresh' start and it will auto update to the most recent software version. Good luck!
