Ipod nano does not appear in itunes

My 7th generation iPod nano does not appear in iTunes on a Windows 8 PC since installing the 11.1.4.62 update. I have now tried every step from the recommended KB: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363 with no relief. Windows sees the iPod just fine...

Same problem. Also Windows 8... There is no problem at all with a Windows 7 computer.

TS3716 iPod classic does not appear in iTunes for Mac since updating to 11.0.

iPod classic does not appear in iTunes for Mac since updating to 11.0. It appears on the desktop and iTunes starts up when the iPod is connected, but it does not appear in a form so that I can manage its contents.

Mike:
Just had the very same problem. iPod Classic shows up on my desktop but not in iTunes (11.0.1). I tried restarting iPod while connected as suggested elsewhere. Didn't work. What did seem to work however was, while the iPod is connected (and on the desktop) restart iTunes. Once it restarted it was there and synching. I also, before restart, made sure that auto-synching was set up in iTunes preferences (under devices).
Try this. May work for you as well.

Ipod touch does not appear in itunes on a computer with windows 8.1

I purchased the latest ipod touch for my daughter from an apple store but it would not display in Itunes on a computer running Windows 8.1.
The apple technician got it to work but in the process disabled the the driver for the CD/DVD reader. What gives?

If your iPod touch does not appear under Devices in iTunes after you connect it to your Windows PC, refer to the troubleshooting suggestions here:

Ipod 160g does not appear on itunes but it appears on windows when in disk mode

my ipod 160 g does not appear in itune (disk mode or not) but it appears in windows as IPOD (F:) only when it's in disk mode. I tried reseting it by holding the menu and center button it stop but then it goes back to the apple logo screen and stay on untill the battery dies and nothing else happens how can I reset it to is factory settings?

When you connect it in Disk Mode, leave it charging the iPod Battery till Full Charge.
In the meantime, 30 minutes or so into the charging, ( I just want the Ipod to have sufficient power for any harddisk Operation)
go to Window Explorer (or My Computer),
Select the Ipod, right click properties, ->tools->error checking->Check Now->fix error
After the error fixing (may take a while but then you still have to wait till the battery charging is complete.)
Disconnect the iPod from the PC.
Antivirus has a tendency to freeze Itunes sync Operation with Ipod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your Ipod filesystem, so when iTunes cant read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your Ipod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete. - Done above
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your Ipod to the PC
When Itunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
Good Luck! and have a Nice Day!

Ipod touch does not appear in itunes 11 after upgrade

I upgraded my mac book pro to Mt. Lion and could still sync to my ipod. Then I upgraded my iphoto and itunes to the latest version. Now my ipod does not appear in itunes. I think I need to upgrade my ipod from 4.2.1 to io5, but cannot do that without being able to sync. What do I do. And do I really need io5 to resolve this problem?

Here's the general troubleshooting: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Did you also try another USB cable or USB port?
Is your device plugged in directly, without using a USB hub?

My ipod touch2 does not appear in itunes

My ipod touch does not appear to be connecting with itunes. The last time I synched my playlists was in Feb. and did not have a problem. I've never had this happen since the original ipod. I've updated the itunes software a couple of times since. Could that have affected the connection? I'm at a lost.

IPod Nano does not appear in iTunes or My Computer

I have had my Nano for around a year with no problems but since I installed iTunes 7x, my computer has had issues with synchronising my iPod. At first it was that the iPod would appear in Windows explorer but not iTunes. Now it does not appear in either, I simply get the red flashing "Do not disconnect" sign on my iPod screen and nothing happens in windows or iTunes.
I have followed every instruction this site has thus far given me and found one set of instructions that looked promising - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304434 - however once i reached the crutial stage of actually switching the 'terminal services' from disabled to manual, I get an error message on my computer "Error 5: Access denied" and nothing on the site gives any indication of what to do in such an eventuality.
Can someone please let me know if there is another way of getting this thing to synch or perhaps some way of making the computer grant me access to this elusive "terminal services" file??
Anything would be greatly appreciated
Thanks! Adam

Do you have an administrator account on your computer? If you are not logged in as administrator, do so before attempting to change the to manual. However, I myself am having the same problems with my own ipod..

IPod icon does not appear in iTunes - pls help!

Hi everyone,
My iPod mini has been working fine lately - as soon as I plug it into my PC, the iPod icon automatically comes up in iTunes and my songs are updated.
However, today, I plugged it my iPod and the icon doesn't come up at all, hence none of my songs are updated. The usual "Do not disconnect" does not appear on the iPod - instead, all it does is start charging. I have done nothing different from other occasions.
Does anyone know what's wrong with it, and how to fix it?
Your help is greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance!

Linh,
Unistalling and reinstalling your iTunes should not cause you to lose your songs. The songs stored in the iTunes music folder remain unaffected.
However, if it makes you nervous to do this, see this.

IPOD shuffle does not show in itunes

New IPOD shuffle nver showed up in itunes
Installed itunes again, no way

Did this work before on this computer, and it is not working now for some reason? Or is this the first time you are using it with this computer?
Make sure the plug on the USB docking cable is completely inserted into the headphones jack, as shown in this document

If that's not the problem, watch the shuffle's light as you connect it to USB. Does it come ON? If it does, what does it do?
