- To reset an iPod touch, hold down the sleep/wake button and the home button until the Apple logo appears on your screen. This can sometimes take longer than 10 seconds. For any iPod with a click wheel (iPod Classic, older iPod Nanos, etc.) turn the "hold" switch on and off quickly, and then hold down the menu and center buttons for up to 10 seconds.
- Sometimes connecting your iPod to a different USB port on your computer will solve the connection problem.
- Sometimes if an iPod is fully discharged, the computer will not recognize it. According to Apple, the iPod might have to remain connected for 30 minutes before it will be able to turn on. Sometimes connecting your iPod to an external charging source, such as a car adapter or an iHome, will give it enough power to be recognized by the computer.
- These simple solutions will usually solve any USB connection problems. However, Apple details other more involved processes on the support section of its website.
