IBook G4 does not recognise iPod Touch

Set up and sync. I have an iBook G4 with USB 2.0 ports running OS 10.4.10 and iTunes 7.4.2(4).
When I plug in my new iPod Touch an image of the USB cable appears on the Touch screen for a few seconds and then disappears leaving a blank screen. Nothing else happens.
iTunes does not open automatically and even when I open it manually the Touch does not appear under the list of devices.
I have tried everything suggested in the troubleshooting section of the pdf features guide but nothing seems to help.
The Touch is just not recognised although I have no similar problem with my iPod Nano.
Any ideas anyone ?

Problem solved. Downloaded and installed a new copy of iTunes - everything now working correctly.

Windows 7 (32) itunes 8.0.2 does not recognise ipod touch - any ideas?

trying windows 7 beta, upgrading from vista, most things work fine but when I plug my ipod in itunes does not see it any more. Windows 7 just shows it as an unspecified device, not browsable or anything. Tried re-installing itunes, re-booting etc, doesnt make any difference - my music library etc is still OK, it just doesnt see my ipod touch. Does anyone have any ideas on this please? Thanks.

After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

ITunes in Windows PC only launches at reboot does not recognize iPod touch

I have had this problem for sometime, but have lived with it. I have my iPod touch 1G connected to a Windows XP PC for syncing charging etc. If I unplug the iPod touch and use it for a while not connected to the PC and then plug in into the USB port, iTunes does not recognize the touch and I have to do a complete reboot of the windows PC. Is there a work around for this problem?

Is windows freezing for you undr those circumstances, or is something a bit different going on? (If you're getting an error message, let us know what it says.)

Any ideas on why I can't use iTunes with my touchi? Has anyone hadluck with non apple softyware, seems apple has made a mess of itunes on this version. I've been throught multiple threads on reinstalling and with tweaks. I've read the apple device is faulty in this latest version, any news on when this fault will be fixed? Love to hear from an Apple person on this. Samsung is looking more and more attractive.

Windows PC not recognising iPod Touch / ipad

Recently I've run into this intermittent problem.
Sometimes when I connect my iPod or iPad to my PC Windows simply fails to recognise that my devices are connected. To the point where the iPod won't charge because the connection is not there.
There a bunch of things I thought it might be. Faulty cable, bad drivers, windows, bad connector on both devices. The thing is its quite random and a simple reboot solves the problem every time.
In any case I have reinstalled windows with no effect, so I am wondering if its an issue with the Apple drivers that come with the latest iTunes as it is a fairly recent issue.
Anyone else had an issue like that?

Mac does not recognise ipod nano.

i am using nano for 8 months already.
it had little problems till this day, and just resetting the nano would help to solve the recognising problems arised in the time being whatsoever.
but this time i have an exclamation point on a folder on the screen, and it won't go away.
when i try to connect the nano to my mac, it sees nano as a random hd (namely "apple ipod media"), but does not recognise it as "ipod nano" which we love and cherish when we automatically see it on dt and itunes if it's connected to our macs.
a pop up comes to my screen when i connect nano to mac, i press initalize, and it opens disc utility. the program doesn't help me for restoring the ipod.
using ipod updater as a restoring tool doesn't work neither (obviously).
...help?

Try this:
Windows 8.1, 64bit
It appears that the 64bit install messed up the device drivers for the Apple mobilie devices connecting as USB.
I tried many things, I may have missed a step below. But the following is what I believe was the fix - since it worked on a 2nd PC.
Make sure you are using an administrator account. Any of them on your machine will do for the following
a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
    - disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
    - connect your USB device
    - if ITunes loads, close it.
b) File explorer:
Open File explorer and browse to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...."
right click on the one ending in "INF"
Select Install. It's very quick.
remove the USB device
c) Restart the computer.
When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.
