IPod 4G not recognised in Windows 8

My iPod 4G is not recognised in iTunes. I am running Windows 8 and I have tried ALL methods that's could find but it is still not working. My question to the community of Apple is to please help me connect my iPod to my iTunes. This problem also extends to my other devices which makes it a problem of my computer rather than my iDevice. I have also tried this on my friends laptop with successful results but would like to get it to work on my laptop.

Done EVERTHING mentioned above. Here is some results of diagnostics that I ran on iTunes.

Can someone please please please help me, i've run the 5 r's, i've tried to put it in to disk mode etc etc and still it will not connect.
it looks like many people are having this problem with the same model.
You can e-mail me direct on [email protected] if easier.

Same as, although a new development on this last night, I borrowed a mates USB hub that has it's own mains power supply and for a short time my laptop recognised my IPOD, I obviously thought i had found the solutions as it started to sync at which point the smug smile left my face as i could smell burning plastic. Yep, the usb cable was melting in to the USB hub. so not only won't the sodding thing work properly it is a god **** fire hazard. Luckily our producst that cost hundreds of pounds are supported by friendly and helpful people at Apple!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and i downloaded itunes 7.6 last night and nothing.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ipod 5 not recognised by windows or Itunes, no drivers found in devmgmt.msc

Hello there.
My Ipod 5th Gen is having problems. When I try to connect it to my windows 8 laptop I get nothing. Not even an "unrecognised device" message. I am guessing there is no driver to process it, or something like that. All my other USB devices are working.
I have tried all the ideas listed on the support. when I take a screenshot and try to find it as a camera, nothing appears. There is no "portable devices" section, no "other devices" section. It is completely unresponsive.
I have no conflicting software, and everything has been reinstalled, including AMDS.
Here is a screenshot of my Devmgmt.msc:
thanks In advance.
Joseph

See
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

Ipod touch not recognised in windows or itnes since updating to itunes9

Hi all,
I upgraded to itunes9 and now my ipod touch (2nd gen 16gb) is not recognised in either windows or itunes.
The ipod still charges via the USB lead so presmably there is nothing wrong there
So far I have tried the following
Uninstalled all itunes, apple stuff, bonjour etc
reinstalled
still same issue.. stopped and restarted apple mobile.. repaired apple mobile.. etc etc
rebooted a zillion times and spent the last 36 hours tearing my hair out all to no avail, its still not recognised.
At one stage i had a "device found" message, swiftly followed by a "device has malfunctioned" error message and back to square one again.
It's my understandin that I can't ring apple (unless I pay) as I have had the ipod since Jan 2009 so if anyone here could help or has any suggestions I wold really appreciate it.
In the device manager there is nothing ipod related in the Universal Serial Bus section or anwhere else in there, have tried it in every USB port.. it charges from them all.. but nothing else. I'm so frustrated
Sue.

This is happening to me also. After installing Windows 7-64, the sync with my Ipod freezes after a couple of songs transfers. Tried everything imaginable: Itunes reinstall, execute with compability to VIsta, energy safe mode off to USB ports/hubs, cable change, restore Ipod. I have a Acer Aspire M3641, lastest ITunes version, latest software on Ipod. Please Microsoft, Apple, Intel, whoever, WAKE UP !!! Code 0xE8000065

IPod Touch not recognised on Windows 8 and will not appear as connected in iTunes.

Usually when I plug my iPod Touch (4th Gen) into my laptop (Windows 8) it appears automatically on iTunes for me to sync. However, when I tried to do this today, iTunes did not recognise that a device was connected and this was confirmed after I did a diagnostic test. Windows recognises that an iPod has been plugged in, however where it usually says "Alicia's iPod Touch", it just appears as "Apple iPod" and when I click on it, I cannot access any photos/videos that I have on my iPod. Any help would be very much appreciated if anybody know how I can fix this. Thank you.

Hello Ali_95
Check out the article below for troubleshooting issues with your iPod touch not showing up in iTunes. It may be an issue with security software or the Apple Mobile Device driver.

IPod Touch not recognised by Windows 8 or iTunes whilst in Recovery mode.

Hello!
I recently updated my iTunes account and during the update on syncing my iPod touch (5th gen) my iPod put itself in to recovery mode and now both iTunes and my computer (in Windows 8) wont recognise my iPod.
I've followed the steps here> https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT204095
But I've had no success, the main stop I get to is when in Device Manager (where there are two entries under 'Other devices' both entries have a '!' in front of them and are listed as ' Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)') in Windows when I get to "Install disk" and input-ing the file Apple support suggests, an error message comes up saying that the folder I've selected doesn't contain a compatible software driver for my device.
On plugging in my iPod my computer makes the normal 3 pings and begins to charge with my ipod lighting up and saying to connect to iTunes, but Windows does not recognise it. I've tried my other USB ports, my other USB cable (all genuine Apple Parts) and I have tried another computer (also Windows) that did not recognise my iPod.
I have confirmed that Apple Mobile device is supported in the programs and have restarted it as well.
I've also removed and reinstalled iTunes and removed other 3rd party software (like the software for my mobile) as the article suggested. The only thing I haven't done is fully removed all my Apple Software entirely and then reloading it but I thought before I make this big leap I'd check if there were any other ideas from everyone.
Any ideas? I'm a bit stumped with this as it seemingly happened for no other reason then iTunes updating.
Thanks

Yes I've got the original USB that the iPod came with and I've tried all 3 of my USB ports and my other USB devices are working with no issue.
I've been through my antiVirus too and the internet firewall, disabling and then retrying, but with no changes.
I think I'm just delaying the inevitable of taking the time to uninstall everything and start again.
Thanks for the help!

Ipod Touch not recognised by Windows 7 or Itunes

Windows 7 recognised my Ipod and was happily charging away but I couldnt open itunes as it said some files were missing so i updated to the newest version of iTunes as of today (3rd Aug).

I have tried troubleshooting this but it says "an error occured while troubleshooting" Error code is 0x8E5E03F9

New iPod Classic not recognised by Windows 8.1 or latest iTunes

I have a brand new iPod classic and have just made several playlists on iTunes.
As a sidenote, I am due to have a baby in one week and bought the iPod just for the hospital stay so I am getting extremely frustrated!
My computer is running Windows 8.1and recognises my iPhone and iPad Air but will not connect the iPod Classic.
When plugged in, it makes that little musical sound to say an item has been connected then nothing.
It does not register in 'My Computer' or on iTunes.
The iPod says "Connected. Eject before disconnecting". I don't get the iPod sad face or the exclamatuion mark.
I have reinstalled iTunes, the one time it registered the iPod was when I plugged in the iPad Air (iPod was no longer plugged in) and wanted me to restore the iPod, which it was still attempting to do 7 hours later (I did plug the iPod back in for this)!
Any suggestions would be super as I have now spent about 5 hours more on this than I would have liked to and about 10 hours more on this than I should have.
Thanks

Ipod nano not recognised in windows or itunes have done R&R twice

I have had ipods from the beginning of time. trying to sync brand new gen 6 nano without any success. My ipad works OK. can any one help?

A few things to try before doing a reinstall:
- Connect the iPod directly to your computer. Not through a hub. Also, if you are connecting to a USB port on the front of your computer, try one on the back.
- Disconnect all other USB devices except for your keyboard and mouse. There may be some other USB item conflicting with your iPod.
If neither of those helps, you should try doing a full reinstall. This means reinstalling all the Apple items (not just iTunes). Here is an article from Apple on how to do this.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
After you do the uninstall/reinstall, you should be good to go.

Ipod classic not recognised by windows(only ipod light turns on when in)

Hi, I have been using my ipod classic perfectly for months now. All of a sudden once day it failed to connect. I have tried the 5 R's I have put it in disk mode, nothing! The computer just won't pick it up at all! It doesnt show in device manager, my computer or itunes. I thought it was my computer so I reformatted my hard drive and the problem persists. I am getting really frustrated and do not know what to do. I REALLY dont want to reset my ipod to factory settings as I will lose ALL my music, movies everything and I don't know what to do.
I am not sure if it has somehow switched to mac version, as on the support area
- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1335
It says on the settings>about to scroll down to the bottom and if the serial number is there its mac, however I dont have scroll instead I press the middle button and at the end there are 3 items, none of which are the PC version but one is the serial code, suggesting it has maybe gone to mac?
I really REALLY apreciate any help you guys can offer me I have been slaving away for days at it and this is my last resort!

I REALLY dont want to reset my ipod to factory settings as I will lose ALL my music, movies everything and I don't know what to do.
First priority it getting the iPod recognized. If it does get recognized by iTunes, it is likely you will have to run a Restore to erase the hard drive and initialize the software. It is not a good idea to keep your only copy of music and video files on an iPod.
I am not sure if it has somehow switched to mac version
The only way that can happen is if you connected it to a Mac and had iTunes sync it. It cannot just happen.
Although you say it does not connect, does it do everything else properly, such as play music and videos it currently has?

5th Gen Ipod Touch not recognised 2 windows pcs and my mac mini, Itune up to date, tried DFU and recovery, returned from apple inspection as working, still no joy, anyone elese had this problem, any ideas?

Since we had the ipod touch since xmas we have had slight problems with charging and connecting to itunes, i sent back to Apple to repair/inspect, they have returned it back as working fine, tried 2 different windows pcs, my mac mini and cannot get the ipod to connect, Windows tries installing drivers only to say it has failed, uninstall try again, go into recovery mode and dfu, nothing seems to work. I have 2 ipads an iphone 4s which all connect faultlessly. Any ideas?

Have you tried another cable? Some iPods were shipped with cable that either did no work initially or shortly failed.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Bring the cable too.

4th gen ipod shuffle not recognised in windows

I have just bought this ipod shuffle new 4th gen and cannot get windows vista or xp to recognse it. The cable is pushed in fully and have tried changing ports but still no connection. Have also tried turning on and off etc but no luck. Any suggestions?

I finally exchanged the shuffle for a replacement which worked perfectly.

My ipod is not recognised in windows or in itunes

I'm using winows XP. How do I fix the problem?

You replied to me. I do not understand your answer since the issue is with iTunes on the computers not seeing the iPod. Nothing about not charging.

Ipod not recognised by Windows - need urgent help!

Just bought my Ipod Mini. Found out that Ipod is not recognised by Windows because Ipod is configured for Mac...
Restoring to factory settings not possible because Windows does not see the Ipod. What can I do?
laptop Windows XP

First, make sure that the iPod is fully charged.
iPods come pre-formatted for Mac, so you will need to format it for Windows.
See this article to verify its format: How to determine iPod's hard disk format.
Make sure that you have the latest iPod Updater software
- Download the Update Installer to your PC (do not run it from the web site).
- Place the file on the Desktop, or in a Folder you can remember/find.
- You also need to install the Updater software by double-clicking on the file that downloads.
- After you install the Updater to your PC, reboot your computer.
- After rebooting, run the Updater.
--- Go to: Start ==> Programs ==> iPod.
- It should initialize then ask you to connect an iPod.
- Connect the iPod when asked (not before) and you should have two options available: Update or Restore.
--- Choose the Restore option and it will update your iPod's firmware to the latest version and format (erase) your iPod's hard drive.
