IPod not recognized in iTunes since upgrading/downgrading

Please, can someone help me. My iPod nano is 6 months old and worked fine until I upgraded iTunes to 7.0 and then it was no longer recognized by iTunes. Over several weeks of using Apple support pages & forums this is what I've tried:
*Installed iTunes version 7.0.2
*Restarted the iPod Service thru My Computer
*Uninstalled iTunes 7.0.2 & deleted all itunesPrefs & iTunesLibrary files
*Emptied the Temp directory
*Turned off "fast user switching" in windows
*Download iTunes version 6.0.5
*Disabled third party System Services & Start Up Items
*Plugged in iPod & got message "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPods software."
*Installed Ipod Updater 2006-06-28, restarted computer & updated the iPod
Still iTunes does not recognize the iPod. I am afraid to use the Updater to restore because it will delete the songs on the iPod & it still might not be recognized in iTunes.
Please, any suggestions? I'm ready to give up.

Something I forgot to add:
Before I downgraded to iTunes 6.0.5, I plugged a relatives iPod into my computer. It showed up in My Computer and also in iTunes.

Sorry that your iPod isn't recognized. The following articles should help you sort out what is going on and get your iPod working again. I didn't see if you are using OS X or Windows, so I included the articles for each.

IPad 2 not recognized on iTunes

This evening I had problems starting apps as the memory was full. I plugged the iPad into the PC and started iTunes. All looked good and 'normal' so I started to delete some of the kids game apps.
A message then came up to update the iPad iOS software. When I selected that it said the iTunes software needed updating so I selected that too. After about ten minutes of file downloads it then showed error 3004. I followed all instructions given by Apple. One helpful Apple message sends to the iPad but the iPad is now stuck on the black screen with the blue iTunes connect logo.
iTunes doesn't see the device, even when asking for a reboot. I tried a system reset to yesterday but that failed too.
Any one know a way of getting the iPad to get off the blue iTunes connect screen without smashing the thing?

It sounds like your iPad is in recovery mode and it isn’t recognized by iTunes, also this all started after attempting to update iTunes on your PC and iOS on the iPad.

IPad mini not recognized by itunes 10.6.1 (7)?

Why is new ipad mini not recognized by iTunes 10.6.1 (7)? Running OSX 10.5.8 software on the Mac. Software updates both report: "up to date"

Sorry, but you need iTunes 11 which requires OS 10.6 or higher and a Mac with an Intel processor. In other words, you need a newer Mac.

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?

IPad OS7 not recognized by iTunes 11.1.5.5

I have switched to iOS7 on my iPad) and to 11.1.5.5 for iTunes on my PC (Windows 8).
iTunes and iPad work properly, however when connected to the PC my iPad is not recognized by iTunes anymore. The iPad is recognized by Wndows, i can see it as Apple iPad and not with the name of my Ipad. I have already reinstalled iTunes but still no connection.
Thanks for suggestions.

Solution found: i removed all apple applications (config pannel + uninstall pgms) and reinstalled the old version of itunes again. Now the iPad was identified by Windows correctly as well as by iTunes. After that I reinstalled again iTunes 11.1.5.5 and everything is working well now.

Suddenly my ipad is not recognized in itunes ?

Suddenly my ipad is not recognized in itunes and claims to a need to be restored.
How do I solve this without loosing data on my ipad ?
I cannot communicate with my ipad anymore. It's indicating to be connected to itunes.

If that is what the message on the screen is, you have no choice but to restore the iPad. If you don't have a backup, you will lose everything on the iPad. That's why you should always backup your important data and your camera roll photos.
You can read how to do it here. Pay attention to the last part of the article about using recovery mode. You might need to restore that way.

Quit iTunes, restart your Mac and then restart the iPad and see if the iPad is recognized after that. If not, you can look through these articles.
