Ipod will charge but not connect

When I plug my ipod touch into my computer, it charges it, but won't recognize it. I have been through all of the 5 R's with it connected and with it disconnected. I have reloaded software, downloaded new software, restarted my computer. I did buy a new cable, same deal. It charges very slowly but won't connect. I've tried uninstalling than reinstalling the usb stuff to.

One thing to mention and this could be the major problem, but it was recently restored on a mac. I hadn't used it in a week or more and when I turned it on the battery was dead. So I charged it and when it turned on it said ipod is disabled Connect to itunes. I tried to and it wouldn't connect to my computer(PC) at all like I said previously. So I went over to my friends and tried to restore it on his mac and it did. Now when I try to connect again it doesn't say anything, although if it is turned off and than plugged in it turns on. Also if you plug it in than turn it off it will charge very very slowly.

OS:Win7 HomeP
Ipod Touch(2nd Gen (I THINK))

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks.

Intel DP55WB


That one's got a P55 chipset. Okay, there certainly have been a number of issues reported with that chipset and iPod Touch connections. (The most common is an Unknown Error 0xE8000065 when syncing.)

Check to see if there are any chipset driver updates or newer versions of your BIOS available from Intel for your motherboard. If you still get the Touch issues after those updates, the following workaround has helped for some people (unfortunately, not all BIOSes are configurable in this way):

Thanks!

Okay ... checking on other possibilities. Apologies if you've been through this before.

Have you checked to see if the usbaapl.sys driver is installed properly and that the Apple Mobile Device Service is started? For more info on that, see the *Verify iPod touch Driver/Service Installation* section of the following document:
