You probably need to leave it plugged in for like 2 mom for your computer to download the software for it in the background to recognize the iPod

It is possible that after solving that, your ipod might not give iTunes properly. so for that you have to take care of other software and you have to take help from jailbreak. It is not harmful to your ipod.
