TS1363 "iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes" Isn't working!

I've tried all of the things in the "iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes" but none of them work.
I'm on Windows 8 and those are the instrucations I've followed.
The only thing I haven't done is reset my computer to factory mode but that Isn't an option for me cause I got saved games that can't be backed up.
I've literaly tried everything in that help page and it doesn't work.
All I get is the iTouch charging, asking me to trust the computer, I say trust, nothing happens, I check the device manager and it doesn't shw the USB no matter what, I restart the ipod services and the apple software services, nothing happens, I completely take dwn my McAfee firewall and scanning system, it doesn't work, restarting it to make sure no viruses attack, uninstalled Razer Synapsis because it has been a pain in the butt before, that doesn't work, I emptied my Temp file and that didn't work, And in the end the iTouch is charging but not even being see by Itunes and no updates, restarts, reinstallations, uninstallations, checking, researching, and anything else I can do works.
Can someone please explain why apple tech is such a pain when it comes to Windows 8 and how I can fix this without losing 2 years worth of school and saved games?!?!?!?

Connect the device to a different compuer and back it up there. You should be able to copy off the library to a portable hard drive. See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

IPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes

Hello everyone,
My problem is my itunes is not recognizing my Ipod touch for some reason. I did follow Apple's advice on their support page and also 'googled' it but unfortunately it resulted in frustration. I think it's missing drivers, at least when I followed the instructions it said go to my device manager and find Ipod under my serial bus, I did check the whole manager but no 'Ipod'. The ipod works fine, when I plug it in, it beeps indicating it recognizes it, and it says it's charging. But when I go to itunes nothing is there, no indication that it's plugged in. I did reinstall my itunes (the most recent one) and played with the registry also, nothing changed the result. I spent couple hours working on it and it's driving me nuts, hopefully some apple itouch guru can help me out. .. regret uninstalling itunes to begin with, this is insane. Oh by the way I also deleted the temp file if that helps.
Cheers!

Morning,
Your answer got my itunes to reconize my ipod but now i'm getting another error! When I plug it in "iTunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes" correct me if i'm wrong but normally that happens when it's jailbreak right? Mine is in factory state, I really don't understand why I have to go through hoops to get this ipod to work because I uninstalled itunes. Well anyway when I hit restore and click 'Restore and Update', it goes through it's process of apple appearing on the screen and itunes saying 'preparing ipod for restore'. Then I recieve the error "The ipod "ipod" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1611)." After I click ok, another one pops up "itunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occured (0xe8000065)." It's an ipod touch not an iphone.
What i've done was restart my computer, restart the ipod and still occurring the same way. Also tried differnt usb ports. I think I have to reinstall itunes.

iPhone Appears in Windows but not in iTunes

If you are running Windows Vista or later, open up your Start Menu and search for "Services."
Click on the icon that looks like a smal gear.
Once you have that window open, Look for the service that says "Apple Mobile Device"
Once you click on it once, to your left of the window, click "Start this service"
After you have done that, with the same service still highlighted, Right click on it then click "Properties"
Once that menu is open, Find the drop down box and make sure the start up is set to "Automatic"
After these steps are completed, you should have no problem with your iPod Touch, or iPhone not showing up in the iTunes window.
With regards,
Jeremy.

Bug/Solution: iPod seen by Windows but not by iTunes

(apologies if this has already been reported)
So I had the problem where iPod would show up in Windows as a drive letter, but iTunes wouldn't see it at all. I had followed all the instructions in this article to no avail:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
And then I tried something which ended up working. This may be somewhat of an edge case scenario, but it's possible others may hit it:
My OS is installed on the D: drive, instead of normally on C:. Also, there was nothing assigned to C:. So when the iPod was plugged in, Windows gave it C:. As I said, iTunes would not recognize the device at all.
On a whim, I reassigned some other USB device to C: so that the iPod would be forced to a different drive letter (I think it was G). Lo and behold, iTunes recognized the iPod just fine.
I didn't do any other testing on it, but it seems if iPod's drive letter < OS letter, iTunes won't see it(?)
Anyway, hope this helps someone else.<br>
30gb Windows XP

Thanks a lot, I must have spent close to 15 hours trying to figure out why my ipod didn't work with my re-installed windows. It turned out my windows was on drive H:, and the ipod was being mounted to drive C:. I switched the ipod to drive I:, and it finally worked! The following instructions may help if your computer sees your ipod in windows explorer (My computer) but not in iTunes, and the ipod is mounted on a drive letter lower than the operating system.
To switch your Ipod to a different drive letter:
1. Connect your ipod to the desired usb 2.0 port.
2. Go to the start menu and click "Control Panel".
3. If you are in "Category view" (check the upper left where it says "Switch to classic view") switch to classic view.
4. Double-Click "administrative tools".
5. Double-Click "computer management".
6. Under "storage" on the left, click "Disk Management", and wait for it to connect to the logical disk managament service.
7. Your Ipod should show up in "volume" column; RIGHT click on it and select "Change Drive Letter and Paths..." from the pop-up menu.
8. Click on the "Change..." button.
9. Select a different drive letter from the pull down menu. (Pick a drive letter higher than the one your operating system .ie Windows XP.. is installed on. For example if Windows is on drive D:, then pick a drive letter E: or higher.)
10. Click "Ok"
11. Click "Yes"
12. Restart the computer, and see if your Ipod will connect to iTunes!

IPod appears on desktop but not in iTunes

When I connect my iPod clickwheel (via Firewire or USB) to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.5.7) it mounts on the desktop and I can open it as a disk volume; but iTunes (8.2) doesn't see it at all. iTunes does see my iPhone. Restarting makes no difference. Disconnecting and reconnecting also makes no difference.
Any ideas?

Re: ipod touch 4th gen. iPod appears in windows but not itunes

it works on others computers but not my own. how can i get my itunes to recognise my ipod? i went through the troubleshooting assistant and it still doesn't work

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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. A warranty is not necessary.

IPod touch Appears in Windows but not in iTunes

When I plug my 4th gen iPod touch into my computer Windows 8.1 recognizes the iPod but iTunes does not. iTunes no longer gives me the button on the top right hand corner with the option to sync the iPod. I have never had this problem before and it’s been working fine up till the other day when I went to upload some new podcast. The following is everything I have done thus far to try and fix the problem.
I have tried uninstalling iTunes, by going to control panel>uninstall program and then selecting iTunes in the list of programs. After uninstalling it I restarted the computer and then re-downloaded iTunes but nothing changed.
I went into iTunes selected Help>Check for updates and another window opened up saying my version of iTunes is up to date. Version 11.1.4
I have tried plugging the iPod cable into multiple USB ports. I have checked to make sure there is nothing inside the USB. I have even tired another iPod cable and still only windows recognizes my iPod.
I have gone to “Services” in windows and restarted both “iPod service” and “apple mobile device” with no change.
I have gone to “Device manger” in windows and tried to updating the driver software on iPod but it says the drivers are up to date.
I’m not really sure what to do at this point? I’m not sure if it’s got something to do with the latest version of iTunes and I should just uninstall it and re load the version I had before 11.1.4? But this is ridiculous, it shouldn’t be this hard to make it work.

IPod appears in Finder, but not in iTunes. iPod in Disk Mode

I have a 5th Gen, 30G iPod that cut out in mid-song this morning. The hard drive starting making the "tick, tick, tick...pause...tick, tick, tick" sound. I reset it and it does not show any of the music on it (only pictures). When I plugged it into the computer, it appears on the desktop (eventually) and in Finder, but not in the iTunes Source List.
After working my way through the first 4 of the 5 R's, I have come to Restore. Since I couldn't get the iPod to appear in the Source Menu, I haven't been able to hit the Restore button in iTunes. So I have placed the iPod into Disk Mode, and reattached it to the computer. Still nothing, just it icon on the destop, but nothing in iTunes.
I assume that the Data is Corrupt on the Hard Drive of the iPod, but how can you restore an iPod if you can't get iTunes to recognize it?!
Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

IPod visible in Windows but NOT in iTunes - please help!

I just got this sexy black iPod. Too bad I can't use it! Please help!
Here's what I've done thus far to try to troubleshoot why Windows sees my iPod but iTunes does not:
-went through the 5 R's (http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/) Did this twice with NO luck! I obviously was not able to do the fifth R (restore) since iTunes never saw my sexy black iPod.
-reinstalled iTunes many times (restarted the service, deleted temp files etc)
-went through these steps: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
-made sure that Terminal Services is set to Manual (in services)
-made sure the the black thing was not on 'hold'
-hit menu & select for 10 seconds
-tried on a different PC with a fresh copy of WinXP Pro installed. Same thing! Windows sees the iPod but iTunes does not.
-I ran the diagnostic and it says that my iPod is connected! What!? No it's not!
It also seems kind of slow, however, I don't have anything to compare this to.
I'm beginning to think that my iPod is iBroken. I'm very iDissapointed.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I have the exact same problem with the same sexy black iPod. Let me know if someone helps you out. Sorry I don't have a solution. I'll keep you posted.

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
