I cannot get my touch 4 to sync with itunes using w8.1

I am unable to sync my touch or ipad to itunes. I am using windows 8.1. all software is current as far as up dates goes. I don't know where to go from here.

If iTunes does not see the devices:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Please help! I can't get my iPod to sync with iTunes on my PC?

This problem is really frustrating and I would really appreciate some guidance because I'm completely stuck. I have been trying for many hours over the past few days to get my iPod touch to sync with iTunes on my PC. When I plug my iPod touch into my PC, iTunes opens up and this message pops up:
"This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again."
I have completely removed iTunes from my PC several times and reinstalled it several times but this message continues to pop up and its really annoying because I can't put my music onto my iPod. I have followed instructions on the apple website which were to temove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel and then restart the PC and reinstall iTunes again. I've tried this several times and it simply didn't work and the error message continues to pop up when I plug my iPod into my PC. I really need to know what is the software required so that I can use my iPod with iTunes on my PC. I can't explain how much I'd appreciate help with this. Thanks in advance.
Do I need to install software on my iPod or on my PC? :S

Two ideas, but what version of Windows? what versions of iTunes? did you manually remove what the uninstaller left behind as outlined in Apple support article?
Did you upgrade to iOS 5 or not? what version? what about your iPod Touch model?
Backup its backup. Backup content.
USB is directly connected to a motherboard port?
Have you had to restore the iPod?
Also, many have pointed finger at Apple Mobile Service needing to be restarted first, then launch iTunes and then connect iPod.
Create a new Windows partition and use that to do a clean install and for testing. Always works.
Some security software. Microsoft Security Essentials does an excellent job, free, works.
I have not read or seen "the req'd software is not installed" mentioned by others, but could easily miss (new to iPod + iTunes myself and there were so many threads when iOS 5 came out).

How do I get my music to sync with iTunes?

I couldn't find this answer, Basically, I added 2xSSD's in my Windows PC and reinstalled iTunes. I had certain songs on my ipod touch (about 900) and I have about 3000 in my iTunes that are all checked now after the reinstall of iTunes. I never created a list, but rather just chose music along the way and sync'd them that way. How can I get just the Music on my iPod touch to sync with itunes in a way that I don't have to uncheck all the songs in iTunes? Or do I have to start all over again?

Try to Maually Add/Delete songs from your iPod.

Cannot get iPod to sync with iTunes using Windows 8 Laptop!

I have been trying to get my iPod classic to sync up with iTunes using my Windows 8 Laptop all night! I tried restoring the iPod, I tried uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes, disconnecting my iPod to restart my laptop then plugging back in. I also ran iTunes Diagnostics and it says my iPod isn't connected yet it shows on the sidebar. I also have automatic sync set up. When I hit sync, it initializes then stops. What am I doing wrong? Is there some trick I am missing. Also, my iPod won't charge unless it is syncing. What's up with that?
Any help or advice would really be appreciated!
Thank you in advance.

For the charging issue, some newer computers with USB 3.0 ports (especially laptops) seem to have a "feature" that saves energy by turning off full power to the port when the connected storage device is no longer mounted by the system. An iPod is a storage device. When iTunes syncs the iPod, iTunes mounts the iPod's dlsk. So it gets full power on the port, and the battery charges. When iTunes is done syncing, iTunes automatically unmounts the iPod's disk. The system shuts off full power to the port, and the battery no longer charges.
To work around this problem, go to the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. There is a setting their for Enable disk use. Check that box and Apply. This setting keeps the iPod's disk mounted continuously, when the iPod is connected. Therefore, the port should continue to receive full power, and the battery charges. That's fine for now, but later on, you can go into the computer's Control Panel preferences to see if there is a setting that disables this "energy saver" feature, and keeps the USB ports at full power all the time, whether the storage device is mounted or not. If that is possible, you can turn OFF Enable disk use for the iPod.
NOTE: WIth disk use enabled, you need to eject the iPod in iTunes before disconnecting it safely from USB. The Eject button is next to the iPod's name in iTunes (to the right).
Now, for your main question about setting up automatic syncing... First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. When connected, the iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.
Select the iPod in the sidebar. To the right, its Summary screen is shown. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons starting with Summary. Click on Music there, next to Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. This setting enables automatic syncing. If you want your entire iTunes music library on your iPod (and it fits), choose the option to sync Entire music library. Then click Apply. Going forward, any change you make to your iTunes music library syncs to the iPod automatically (at the next opportunity).
