Ok so I've had my iPod for 3 years now and it's decided to start failing. the biggest problem i have right now is when I plug my ipPod into my USB port it either does nothing or becomes an unrecognized device.
I've tried a few recommended solutions but nothing works for me
iPod touch, iOS 6.1.6
See
iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests

It seems to be a computer problem as I just tried it on my mac and it worked
my iPod is listed under unknown device when I plug it in
