iPod touch not connecting to pc -={HELP}=-
Hello, I have an iPod touch 4th generation and are experiencing issues with data transfer. You see, when I plug both ends of the cable into my PC, it either makes the familiar ding noise or it gives me nothing but charge. When I do connect it, in the task bar a icon pops up and tells me "USB device not recognized".
Before telling me to install apple mobile device driver thingy, I can use the same laptop, the same cable and the same software to connect my 2nd gen iPod touch and transfer data.
I have searched everywhere and cannot find anything, my problem is slightly different to the rest. PLEASE HELP! :O
iPod touch, iOS 6.1.2
