Computer not recognizing Ipod touch 5th gen

When I hook it up to the computer, it doesn't recognize it in music or in the finder. I've even tried going to system information to see if it shows up there under the USB option but it doesn't. I last synced it about a month and a half ago so I can't figure out why it won't recognize it anymore.

iPod, iOS 9
