Brand new iPhone shows in Devices; iPod touch no longer shows in Devices

I bought an iPod 4 today and was able to sync it with my existing iTunes library. I connected to USB port, it showed in Devices & in My Computer (XP), no problem.
However, my iPod Touch, 8 months old, will NOT show up in iTunes or My Computer now, and I have NO idea why. I did ALL the troubleshooting, including uninstall/reinstall iTunes, restart computer, etc. If the USB works for iPhone, I assume THAT is not the issue. After 5+ hours working on this, I am over it and wish someone could help. Apple sent me to all the troubleshooting articles and now they are closed.
???????

Start here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would first remove and reinstall all the Apple software by:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
The drivers in windows that sees the iPod as a camera is different that the drivers that see the iPod in iTunes.

  • How do I get content from my old iPod Touch to my new iPhone 5?  My iPod Touch is too old to use iCloud

    How do I get content from my old iPod Touch to my new iPhone 5?  My iPod Touch is too old to use iCloud. I have activated the phone but am stick at the point of the set-up where my 3 choices are:
    1. Set up as new phone
    2.  Restore from icloud Backup
    3.  Restore from iTunes Backup
    thanks!

    If your iPod touch music is in your iTunes library, you just need to sync the new iPod nano with iTunes, the songs will be transfer to your new iPod. If not, you can follow this guide to transfer the songs from iPod touch to iTunes first, and then re-sync them to your new iPod. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • Ipod touch no longer showing up as a device in itunes

    My ipod touch (4th gen) is no longer visible as a device in iTunes.  This is a new development (it was fine the last time I connected my iPod to my PC about three weeks ago).  When I plug it into the PC (directly into a PC USB port) the PC beeps (confirming connection) and the device shows up in Windows explorer.  But the device is no longer recognized in iTunes (I have version 11.3.0.54).  Any help/suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

  • Can i use the new iphone 5c as a ipod touch

    I want to buy the iphone 5c but only use it as a ipod and will i still be forced to pay monthly bills?

    I believe it has to be activated by a cellular carrier upon purchase. I do know that after you've done this and have used it as a valid cell phone that it can be used as an "iPod touch" type of device with no further issues...I'm doing exactly that with an older iPhone 4.
    See the following (this is for an iPhone 4S):

    Seems as if it's possible but you'd need to buy the phone unlocked and contract-free. These can be very expensive.

  • Ipod touch no longer showing up in itunes after connecting to laptop.

    I downloaded itunes on my new laptop that runs windows 7.  Since I hadn't updated itunes on the pc, I connected the ipod to my pc (which runs windows xp). A screen pops up that basically alerts me that I have a digital camera installed.   I have updated the drivers, I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows and it still shows up as a digital camera and still doesn't show up in itunes.  Now, since I initially had the ipod hooked to the new laptop, I am wondering if I did something during the installation and sync on the laptop that has caused a problem on this desk top.   I am completely ignorant when it comes to electronics.  To summarize what I did.
    1. Downloaded itunes onto laptop that runs windows 7.
    2.Plugged in lpod touch to laptop and proceed to authorize both computers for itunes.
    3. Made a playlist that didn't sync with ipod.
    4. Went to the desk top(windows xp) and when I plugged ipod in it ask what camera location did I want to run device. That has never happened before.
    5. Went to windows system folder and found the usbaapl. sys folder.
    6 From the ipod camera device  I opened the device manager, found the ipod under digital imaging..
    7.Right clicked ipod camera and update driver,
    8.Checked  install from a list or specefic location.
    9.Search for best driver in these locations.  I then UNCHECKEd search removable media.
    10.Copied and pasted the driver information in the box and clicked next.
    11.Saw ipod device driver.
    After all of that Ipod still shows up as camera and will not sync!!! Help

  • IPod Touch no longer showing up under My Computer

    My iPod Touch is no longer showing in the device list under My Computer and as such can't access it to get my photos off it.
    It works in iTunes just fine, syncs fine, etc.
    If I go to Devices and Printers, it used to be listed under the Devices category as iPod, but now shows under the Unspecified category as Apple Mobile Device USB Driver, so basically a generic device.
    I have no devices with exclamation points or any other trouble signs under Device Manager.
    Help?

    Well, I am not entirely sure what exactly happened but after trying numerous times to reinstall the drivers and getting all sorts of error messages, I finally got Windows 7 to cooperate. The iPod Touch now shows up and is being detected as a digital camera under Devices, and under Computer it is showing up under Portable Devices. If I double-click on it I can view my pictures, transfer them, delete them, etc.

    Have brand new iphone 4s. Wifi signal is very weak even when very close to router. I have also an iPod Touch and when both are side by side, the iPod wifi signal is excellent and the iPhone wifi signal is very poor??!!! Hardware issue? or software issue? I was hoping it is just a software issue, but...
    Saw may web sites discussing this same issue; many discussions point to hardware problems but there is no official word from Apple about it, which is disapointing !??  Few discussions point to software problem with solutions based on try and error, and they don't seem to work.

    did not help at all; the problem continues the same
