Q: ipod touch cannot connect to PC, error message :itunes could not connect to the ipod touch "ipod name" because an invalid response was receive from the device

Check your USB connections

Errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014. You might also see a message that includes "invalid response."

If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you might not be able to update or restore.

To narrow down the issue, try different equipment:

• Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
• Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
• Try a different computer.
• Solve other issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.

If you still see the error message, check for hardware issues.

I have been through that with no success. Other iPods connect with no problem except this one. Any other suggestions?

Did yo check the link in

You iPod may have to be repaired/replaced.

I have same problem, if I put IPod to computer it´s shown as Ipod in windows (7), after installing Apple softwares it´s shown as Apple mobile device USB driver, what should I do ?

What do you mean by same problem? Are yo getting a message that says an invalid response was received?

Yes, invalid response...

Did you follow all the instructions in my first reply to this discussion, including check for hardware problems?

Yes, no help... Bought new Apple USB-cable too

Good news, got it working. Erased new ITunes and installed quite old one for testing and now it´s working. Anyone ones which is the last version that still supports IPod touch 1st genre ?

Each version of iTunes should support all previously released devices. Each device has a minimum version of iTunes it is compatible with.
