New ipod touch 5 not recognized in itunes

Hi -
Just got new ipod touch 5 with new style connector.  I have latestest version of itunes (even uninstalled / reinstalled it 10.7.0.14) Pod has been fully charged externally, Pod is not recognised through USB port direct connection - I have tried all USB connectors on my WIn7 32bit machine and a system reboot.
I just cant get my ipod to be recognised by itunes so cannot get any music / etc onto new ipod touch
Assistance very much approeciated

Well - after some further work - I was able to solve this,
buy deleting the "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under 'USB Controllers' in 'Device Manager'
Plugging device back in
And allowing internet search for drivers - this time device has been discovered and able to show in iTunes

  • New iPod touch issues. not recognizing in iTunes

    i just got a new ipod touch and installed everything and itunes will not recognize the ipod. I went on support and tried what it said by holding down the sleep button and the home button at the same time until the apple appeared and then closing out of itunes and opening it up and plugging the ipod back in which helped it to recognize. the ipod then went into recovery mode and said it needed to be restored. Restoration began however, the connect ipod to itunes screen disppeared leaving a lit up and black screen and a window appeared in the "preparing ipod for restoration" stage that said "ipod could not be restored. an unknown error occured (1604). any ideas? oh and then the thing on the side that said ipod disappeared and it stopped recognizing the ipod again.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    Error 1604 points at a problem with your USB drivers/connection.
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the USB 30-pin dock-connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.

  • My ipod touch is not recognized on itunes and will not turn on or give me the battery sign. I have tried toubleshooting it by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button, but it doesn't work. What do I do to fix it?

    My ipod touch is not recognized on itunes and will not turn on or even give me the battery sign that it is dead. I turned it off and it won't turn back on now. The screen is completely black and won't do anything. I have tried charging it over night and nothing happened. It was never near water. I have tried troubleshooting it by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button, but nothing happened and it didn't work. What can I do to fix it?

    Does it charge?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another cable
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

  • TS1363 My sons iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes, or windows.  Is this repairable?

    My sons iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes, or windows.  I have tried a variety of options, even resetting, but still no luck.

    What does the iPod's screen say or do, when you connect it to USB port on the computer?
    The article referenced is for "regular" iPods.  An iPod touch is an iOS computer, so this article would be more appropriate for troubleshooting.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Be sure to rule out a faulty USB cable as the cause.  Try another cable, or try the cable you have with another device that has a dock connector.
    Also, you should do this test to rule out a problem with the USB port (such as lack of power or USB device conflict).  Shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices, including any hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).  If the computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). 
    Then, start up the computer, run iTunes, and connect iPod to a direct USB port on the computer.  If it still does not connect, connect something else to the same USB port to confirm it is working.  Preferably, use something similar, such as a USB flash drive or external drive.

  • IPod touch 4 not recognized by iTunes

    iTunes does not recognize my iPod Touch. I have a new Dell laptop with the latest version of iTunes.  iTunes will not burn a CD either, ejecting the disc with a 4310 error.

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Run this to help if it identifies the cause
    iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
    Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?
    For the burning problem, if the above does not also resolve that problem, can yo burn CDs with other programs?
