IPod  doesn't have a driver

I just got a brand new ipod touch. I plugged it into my computer and began to install, but the installation failed. It says iPod doesn't have a driver. I tried uninstalling all the USB controllers under device manager but that didn't help either. I tried doing update driver but it couldn't install MTP USB Device. And nothing on apple support worked.

I have the same issue, what in the world is going on at apple! I installed iTunes 10.1.1.4, plugged in new ipod touch 4g and it worked. The two days later it wont show up anywhere.
I have found an Unknown USB and tried updating it and installed usbaapl.inf usbaapl.sys in my drivers folder, sys32 folder and so on... still keep getting "not recognized". While attempting to install usbaapl.inf windows says file is missing even though I have manually selected it. I have tried other files from google where users are having same issue but these do not register either.
I have made sure: ALL anti-viral software disabled
Firewalls off
newest updated iTunes 10.1.1.4
iPod running latest 4g version 4.2.1 (8C148) model MC540LL
I have restarted the computer 4 times after file
adjust attempts.
soft reset, hard reset iPod touch also.
I have a suspicion that the newest iTunes is not up to par and need a solution. Ingenius, i know.
I can charge iPod but it not found by computer or iTunes, so no syncing, no proper ejecting.

    I’m going to get the I Mac and since the new I Mac doesn’t have DVD drive on it I was thinking to get the Samsung SE-506AB Slim Portable Blu-ray Writer in order to burn movies from I movie do I need a special software for that since the SE-506ab comes only with windows software.. but I did check and it is compatible with apple. Can you please advise me and or let me know if I’m buying the right stuff or if there is any other blu ray that will work with the I mac as plug and play.
    Thank you

    This freezing reminds me of really old Macs, long ago, in the days of the old-school peripherals like SCSI drives, terminators, scanners and the like. If you had a SCSI conflict, like the wrong device ID's or something, you'd freeze up like that. Back in those days you'd call 800-SOS-APPLE (AAPL?) and they'd run you through disconnecting all your extra hardware - Jaz and Zip drives, CD burners, scanners etc and then eliminate them one by one by adding them incrementally and testing for the freeze/bomb dialog.
    But, today we have Firewire and none of those ancient issues (no free lifetime tech support either). My iMac's ports are all full, and I only know which devices are connected when I have to remove something for another device. iSight, scanner, card reader, external hard drive, USB soundsticks, etc. You wouldn't happen to have any SCSI devices hooked up, would you?
    Out of curiosity, have you tried a different USB/Firewire port for the hard drive? Or run the hardware test DVD that comes with your computer? This weird freezing seems to suggest a problem with the computer, RAM or network more than a device. Bad devices, in my experience, cause kernel panics, not freezing.

    when i 'upgraded' to Mavericks, it locked me out and shut down my computer.  now it won't print from my Epson Stylus CX3810.  Epson doesn't have the driver to download and neither does the App store.  Suggestions?

    I'm having similar problems with my Epson Stylus DX5000.  There was no in-built driver available (the generic old and new Stylus drivers didn't work), so downloaded the latest driver from Epson site.  It shows as being available to print to, but just sends data to the print queue then job disappears.
    I hope you're right C F McBlob, I could do with printing today but if there are new drivers available from November 5, then so be it.
