IPod Touch 2nd Gen won't show up in iTunes but does appear in My Computer

When I connect my 2nd Generation iPod touch to my laptop it will not appear in iTunes. It does, however, appear in my Computer.
I have worked through all of the troubleshooting guides on the Apple Support section, and have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes twice.
This message appears every time I plug my iPod in, and frequently whilst it is still plugged in charging:
'MobileMe Service has stopped working.' This is a pop-up window produced by Windows, I know this is the 'service' that picks up an iPod's prescence but stopping and restarting the service does nothing. My iPod still won't show up.
Please help, I am willing to faff around a bit. Might it be a problem with Windows itself? If so, how would I go about fixing it?
Thanks in advance,
P.S I have the latest version of iTunes, and the operating system of my iPod is 4.2.1.
My version of Windows Vista is 32-bit.

I mean MobileDeviceService not MobileMe, sorry.

  • IPod touch 2nd gen won't let me get Apps

    Hi,
    I have an iPod Touch 2nd gen that is operating 4.2.1, and it no longer has App Store, or iTunes. This means that I cannot download any apps or even access music downloads. I have synced with the newest version of iTunes, and the App section is grayed so I cannot access it there either. Therefore, my Touch is reduced to an mp3 player, and I didn't pay for an iPod to just play music! Any suggestions??

    Sounds like Apps have been restricted.  Head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions and make sure they are turned off.

  • After iOS5 upgrade, iPod touch 2nd gen won't let me edit calendar events

    I have an iPod touch 2nd gen with the old processor, so I'm stuck using iOS 4.2.1 on the touch.
    Meanwhile, I have a MacBook and new iPad running Lion/iOS 5.
    Before I upgraded to iOS 5, I could edit calendar events from either my macbook or from my Touch.  Now, I can't edit calendar events on the Touch, and when I add new ones from the Touch, the options are restricted (e.g., I can't designate which calendar the item belongs to).
    Please help!  This functionality is very important to me because I take the Touch to work, but not my other mac devices, so I need to be able to edit on the go.
    Thanks,

  • IPhone won't show up in itunes but does show up in iphoto (?)

    So my iphone won't show up in itunes, but is recognized by iphoto.
    I did recently sync the music on the phone with another itunes on a windows pc because I was getting on a flight and wanted to hear the show that I had just seen and downloaded. Could that be the issue?
    I figured when I got home I would just re-sync it to my own itunes and it would just delete what I had already listened to but no such luck. It is not even recognized: itunes could not open iphone due to unkown error.
    I've already used the troubleshooter, and have restarted etc. Any ideas?
    Any help is much appreciated.

  • My iPod touch 5th gen won't turn on after updating to iOS 8 using the computer,help!?

    On my computer (using windows) I tried to update my iPod touch 5th gen to iOS 8 using iTunes, using this website http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/09/17/the-secret-to-skipping-long-ios-8-downlo ads-and-problems/ as a guide.
    It kept coming up with this error http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201442 after the update.
    Now my iPod won't turn on and it shows the charger with the lightening with an arrow above it pointing to the iTunes logo.
    So i plugged it into iTunes but i don't know what i'm supposed to do, any help?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod Touch 2nd gen won't sync, show up, or charge

    The title says it all. An ipod touch of mine (8g 2nd gen touch) will not turn on, respond to any button commands, show up in itunes, and barely charge. My wall charger's light will light up (indicating it is charging), but it will not do anything. I'm pretty sure there have been many questions like this, but im lazy and can someone help me in this specific case?
    thannks.

    i have tried there, but its not that kind of problem. believe it or not i have a decent share of experience with ipods and am great at programming and other electronics. the screen is totally black. no connect to itunes, or battery low. black black. its really weird.
