IPod Touch 4G not recognized in iTunes or MyComputer

Good morning from Canada,
I've recently recieved this error from my iPod Touch 4G (Acquired in August 2011) that my Windows 7 64bit cannot recognize anymore through USB.
It used to recognize my iTouch with just plug and play but now my computer cannot recognize it.
I've looked around the support community and google a bit for some options.
Here are some of the options I've tried
-     Turning my itouch on and off.
-     Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes (clean uninstall, extra folders manually deleted)
-     A brand new USB cord
-     Different USB ports + USB Hubs
I've recently installed the new iSO 5.0.1 last week, but my computer only recently stopped recognizing my itouch.
My itouch does not even charge when connected to the computer.
I am fairly new to Apple products by the way.
Could this problem be related to the new iOS?
but my main question is,
My last option would be resetting my iPod touch back to it's factory settings,
Are there any other options I can try for my computer and itunes to read my iTouch again?
If not, how do I back up all my files (calendar, notes, apps) all in one go?

I'm experiencing the same problem with my ipod touch 4g but i think it's to do with the ipod's logic board because just last week i was experimenting with a broken usb cable and it seem to have damaged something inside causing a malfunction which is preventing it from connecting to my computer or itunes.

    My ipod touch is not recognized on itunes and will not turn on or even give me the battery sign that it is dead. I turned it off and it won't turn back on now. The screen is completely black and won't do anything. I have tried charging it over night and nothing happened. It was never near water. I have tried troubleshooting it by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button, but nothing happened and it didn't work. What can I do to fix it?

  • TS1363 My sons iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes, or windows.  Is this repairable?

    My sons iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes, or windows.  I have tried a variety of options, even resetting, but still no luck.

    What does the iPod's screen say or do, when you connect it to USB port on the computer?
    The article referenced is for "regular" iPods.  An iPod touch is an iOS computer, so this article would be more appropriate for troubleshooting.

    Be sure to rule out a faulty USB cable as the cause.  Try another cable, or try the cable you have with another device that has a dock connector.
    Also, you should do this test to rule out a problem with the USB port (such as lack of power or USB device conflict).  Shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices, including any hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).  If the computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power). 
    Then, start up the computer, run iTunes, and connect iPod to a direct USB port on the computer.  If it still does not connect, connect something else to the same USB port to confirm it is working.  Preferably, use something similar, such as a USB flash drive or external drive.
