I-pods appears in windows but not in i-tines - no download or sync possible

My i-pod doesn't appear in i-tunes but does in windows (work station). I did everything (re-install windows,i-tunes, update i-tunes and the 5 R). But nothing works.
I made a check up and for the computer all is working normally but the "i-tunes helper". Could it be a reason for my issue?
By the way, may it be a FAT32 issue because in the diagnostic it is written the i-tunes Preference file doesn't exist (see below):
[SERVICE: 0x398,13:20:28 ERROR] Did not find first letter of stage
[SERVICE: 0x398,13:20:28 INFO] got HotPlugState 0
[SERVICE: 0x398,13:20:28 INFO] [1] OS says filesystem is FAT32
[SERVICE: 0x398,13:20:28 INFO] File does not exist!
[SERVICE: 0x398,13:20:28 INFO] [1] iTunes Preference file does not exist!
If anyone could help me... i am desperate!!!!!!!!
Thanks

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.

HT1386 iPhone Appears in Windows but not in 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.

Performing the diagnostic in itunes reveals that the ipod is attached and performing correctly according to itunes but there is a problem syncing. I'm stuck as to what to do next! Help!
Hoping you can make me smile again

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.

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 showes up on windows but not itunes

I am having trouble getting my ipod synced back up with itunes. I have tried everything as far as uninstalling itunes and bonjour and all the others.I also tried updating drivers and a few other suggestions from tech support. I brought my ipod to a friends house and it showed up on his computer. So we tried to see if his ipod would show up on my itunes and it did. Also windows recognizes the ipod but something is keeping the itunes software on my computer from connecting to my ipod touch. Does anyone know why this might be happening? I have tried several places and everyone seems to be stumped.
