Ipod touch not seen in sauce menu of itunes

Ipod touch not seen in sauce menu of itunes, I have turned off & on the Ipod and re-downloaded a fresh ITunes software & used a different usb port & restarted the pc but still it is not seeing the IPod Touch. I also got this message when downloading a fresh ITunes software "Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services"

Ipod touch not seen in Itunes on windows 7

My Ipod touch has stopped working. I had a new laptop with vista that i upgraded to windows 7. I can see the ipod (as disk storage) on my computer but when i plug in to USB it bleeps but does not lauch or itunes or become visible if itunes already loaded. I have gone through all apple stuff for clean uninstall of every thing and i upgraded to latest version itunes. I went apple store..not very helpful..said my ipod syncs with a mac but cant do anything because they think it is windows 7! Any ideas, its driving me nuts.

Righty-ho.
Here's the theory.
AMDS (which we need for Touch recognition) installs the usbaapl.sys and netaapl.sys drivers on a PC. As well as in the Program files, files for those drivers go into some other locations on a PC. Usually, when AMDS is uninstalled, those files and folders get uninstalled. (I just confirmed that yesterday on my XP SP3 box.) But it is possible for some of those files and folders to get stuck and not be removed by an uninstall. (Confirmed that yesterday on a different XP SP3 box.)
I've confirmed that the leftover files/folders can cause trouble with AMDS reinstalls (they are the source of some "rolling back installation" messages during AMDS installs). But I reckon they might also plausibly cause some grief in iPod/iPhone recognition contexts too. That's what we're going to follow up on with you, Stu.
let's start working on that.
First, we'd better try to track down where the little beggars live on a Windows 7 system. We're going to have to do some settings changes on the PC in order to even see them.
From the Start menu, click Open.
In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
Click the View tab.
In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that:
The "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected
The "Hide extensions for known filetypes" box is unchecked
The "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" box is unchecked
Click OK.
Now we're going to run a search for usbaapl ... I don't have a Windows 7 box available for reference, but this is how I'd do it in Vista.
I go "Start > Computer" and type usbaapl in the Search box. When it tells me it can't find it, I click Advanced, select the "search hidden, non-indexed and system files (may be slow)" box, and then wait for an eternity until the green progress bar up on the top of the "Computer" window has completely disappeared.
What files and folders with usbaapl in the name do you see show up in your search results, and what are their file locations?
Now repeat the search, this time for netaapl. What files and folders with netaapl in the name do you see show up in your search results, and what are their file locations?

Ipod touch not seen by Macbook, but ipod classic is. Reloaded itunes but that did nothing

My ipod touch is not recognized at all by my Macbook. My ipod classic is; I did reload itunes as described but it did not help. Any thoughts. Ipod touch has the latest OS, and my Macbook has 10.6.8

Try here. Do not omit the Additional Information paragraph since it applies to Snow Leopard.

IPod Touch not seen by PowerMac G4 running 10.4.11

My iPod shows no acknowledgment of being connected nor does my mac. help please

You won't see an iPod Touch in the Finder (like older iPods), only in iTunes (under devices in the left sidebar). Be sure you are using a USB 2.0 port.
You might need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service. Check out this article:

Brand new iPod Touch - not recognized by my computer or iTunes

I just purchased an iPod Touch today and it isn't showing up in My Computer or iTunes. My USB port is working because it recognizes other devises. I checked my USB port in Device Manager and it says Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller. I even uninstalled iTunes and installed it again. I'm just sick ... I have read everything I can find that might work, but nothing does.
If anyone has a suggestion for me, I would really appreciate it.
Martha

Thanks, Alex. The link you gave me says that there should be a Apple device listed with my USB's and it is not. I did find the driver USBAAPL.SYS in the Windows\System32 folder\drivers. Should it be somewhere else to work??? The Mobile Device Service is there and is started. I am completely iPod ignorant, but I did have a shuffle sometime back that worked just fine.
I appreciate your help. If you have any other advice, I would appreciate it.

IPod touch not being rcognized by computer or iTunes anymore.

My iPod touch is not being recognized by my computer or iTunes anymore. I can't add new music to it and in order to charge it I have to hook it up to a different computer, other computers do recognize it, just not mine. I have tried different cables (They're not damaged either), it's not my USB ports (I have 3 USB ports, I have tried all of them, still wont recognize the iPod) because they recognize other devices and I am able to use them just fine. The port on my iPod is not damaged. HELP! I've never had an issue like this and I really don't want to have to buy a new iPod!

Have you looked at this article:

IPod Touch not showing up in Windows or iTunes

Whenever I plug my iPod Touch to the computer, it doesn't show up in iTunes. When I connect it, it reads - "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunction and Windows does not recognize it." The Unknown Device is my iPod that's plugged in. When I pull it out, that Unknown Device is gone.I'm on Windows XP Usb Root Hub. Not on 2.0/ But my iPod and iTunes have been able to work for more than a year. My cellphone works when I connect it to the USB port, but the iPod doesn't read at all.I have tried just about everything. I have reset my iPod, reinstalling iTunes, reinstalled AMDS, etc. My iPod works with a wall adapter, just not when it's connected to the PC.I hope these details help enough.

Have you double checked to make sure the Apple Mobile Device service is installed and running?

IPod Touch not recognised by Windows 8 or iTunes whilst in Recovery mode.

Hello!
I recently updated my iTunes account and during the update on syncing my iPod touch (5th gen) my iPod put itself in to recovery mode and now both iTunes and my computer (in Windows 8) wont recognise my iPod.
I've followed the steps here> https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT204095
But I've had no success, the main stop I get to is when in Device Manager (where there are two entries under 'Other devices' both entries have a '!' in front of them and are listed as ' Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)') in Windows when I get to "Install disk" and input-ing the file Apple support suggests, an error message comes up saying that the folder I've selected doesn't contain a compatible software driver for my device.
On plugging in my iPod my computer makes the normal 3 pings and begins to charge with my ipod lighting up and saying to connect to iTunes, but Windows does not recognise it. I've tried my other USB ports, my other USB cable (all genuine Apple Parts) and I have tried another computer (also Windows) that did not recognise my iPod.
I have confirmed that Apple Mobile device is supported in the programs and have restarted it as well.
I've also removed and reinstalled iTunes and removed other 3rd party software (like the software for my mobile) as the article suggested. The only thing I haven't done is fully removed all my Apple Software entirely and then reloading it but I thought before I make this big leap I'd check if there were any other ideas from everyone.
Any ideas? I'm a bit stumped with this as it seemingly happened for no other reason then iTunes updating.
Thanks

Yes I've got the original USB that the iPod came with and I've tried all 3 of my USB ports and my other USB devices are working with no issue.
I've been through my antiVirus too and the internet firewall, disabling and then retrying, but with no changes.
I think I'm just delaying the inevitable of taking the time to uninstall everything and start again.
Thanks for the help!

Ipod touch not showing as a device in itunes

i have two ipod touches. i can sync one of them with no problems. the other is not being recognized by itunes (it was before). it doesn't show up as a device in itunes like the other one does. any suggestions?

- Does the non-connecting iPod work OK?
- Does it charge from the computer?
- Try a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

IPod touch not working on new upgrade of iTunes 7.7

I upgraded my iTunes to 7.7, the new version. Ever since I downloaded it, my iPod touch won't show up on my left-side bar of iTuens, and it even freezes my iTunes so I have to shut down iTunes (not my computer). I tried seeing if I can swith back to an older version of iTunes but I can't find it. What is wrong? Help!

That is the exact same problem i am having. Exactly on the spot. There is a major bug in this new version and others are having similar problems. I tried going back to the 7.6 version but that didn't work as my library data file was already written with 7.7 The only thing i can think of is wait till another version, as of right now i haven't been lucky in finding a solution. I am still working on it, though and will let ya know if i can solve it. So far i've tried all the solutions that helped in the past, and nothing
it does work with my other ipod so, it seems that iphones and ipod touch are the ones effected at this point. Some people have said that it deleted their library, but that hasn't happened to me so i have no idea whats going on.
