No IPod Touch Device Recognized in Itunes 12.01

I have an IPod Touch - Since I bought in in late 2013, I could not get ITunes to recognize and display my device in ITunes. My old IPod shuffle was recognized and displayed with the same PC and the same PC ports that I used for my IPod touch. I got so exasperated that I packed the IPod away to avoid further frustration.
For the past week I have been embarking on the same journey again, hoping for success but alas the same experience over and over again.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the ITunes 12.01 software several times, taking care to download the software only from the Apple website.
I have update all the pertinent drivers on my computer.
I have plugged the IPod into all three ports that my PC have.
I have purchased a brand new authentic Apple Lightning to USB Cable ( The old one was perfectly good and authentic)
I have contacted the Apple support line - no luck the very friendly but clearly incapable agent suggested that I first buy a real authentic connection cable. The one that I had was bought at the local Apple store!
I have reset the IPod several times.
Despite all of the above I get the following message form ITunes whenever I connect" ITunes could not connect to the IPod Touch....because an invalid response was received from the device"
I love my music and my IPod - Is there any one that can share their success in getting it right with me?

IPod Touch not recognized by iTunes after a Reset?

My iPod Touch is not recognized by iTunes. This has nothing to do with the new OS update. 2 months ago I was having lots of problems and decided to use the reset since it was not showing up on iTunes to do the Restore. Since then I was able to get all of my apps back but cannot get anything off the computer like my songs. When I plug it in anywhere the battery life screen does not come one (dark) and the little sound it makes (silent) is absent as well. Any ideas anyone?

Your USB 2.0 cable might be broken. You might need to buy another. Heres some links:
http://www.amazon.com/Original-Connector-Cable-MA591G-Apple/dp/B004WWLULA/ref=sr _1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331433047&sr=8-1
The one from amazon is around $12 cheaper. But if you want the new Apple Cable, here it is.

IPOD touch not recognized by itunes after reinstalling OS because of crash

My IPOD Touch isn't recognized by ITUNES after the OS got reinstalled. I hook it up and ITunes doesn't respond, it's like it isn't even connected.
I've restarted both devices (nothing), I've tried both USB ports (they're fine), nothing. Any suggestions?

I tried EVERYTHING (uninstalling itunes, reinstalling, downgrading itunes, removing pics out of storage folder,restoring ipod, searching google for drivers for ipod, trying to find the right driver using device manager, made sure apple mobile was on and working, checked device manager under universal serial bus controls and apple mobile device was not listed, tried plugging in nano n itunes recognized it immediately...

IPod touch not recognized in iTunes or Windows Explorer

I have a 4th Generation iPod touch that I purchased in March 2011. It has been working perfectly until quite recently when it stopped getting recognized on my computer. It does charge when I plug it in, but it doesn't show up in iTunes or in My Computer. I don't think there's any problem with the cable because I have already tried with a few different ones and they don't work either.
I have tried everything Apple suggests and it still doesn't work. Also, I tried putting the device into Recovery Mode but again, it doesn't show up on the computer. Any suggestions?

HT1414 Ipod Touch not recognized by Itunes.

Hello, I have a 2nd and 3rd generation Ipod Touch that neither are recognized by Itunes. I tried every method listed on the Apple site (i.e.uninstalling, updating, restoring) and still no success. My Ipod Nano works perfectly and is recognized by Itunes, so I'm confident my computer (Windows 7 64 bit) and connections are good. Can somebody please offer a solution?

Try them on another computer to eliminate a hardware issue.

Ipod touch not recognized by itunes

After installing the recent update for itunes I believe it is 11.0.1, my ipod touch no longer is detected by itunes. It is not listed under the devices. It is recognized by my computer but not my itunes. When I plug it in a screen on the ipod pops up asking if I trust this computer I hit trust and nothing happens. I can't sync it via wi-fi either. I have tried reinstalling Itunes and restarting my computer and none of that has worked.

It is iTunes 11.1.4
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 Featurs appin 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 recognized by Itunes V10

Hi, my daughter's IPod Touch is not being recognized by Itunes. Issue seems to have arisen with V10 but not 100% sure. My PC will recognize her IPod touch, and her PC will recognize my older IPod model. Reloaded Itunes, and updated IPod touch software. Also went thru MSCONFIG to attempt to resolve conflicts. Tried multiple USB ports. When I plug in the IPod touch Windows seems to think it is a camera device.
Any suggestions??

Found an answer that worked in the thread "IPod recognized as digital camera". Advice posted on 7/28 by Masta of Disasta worked. It's a bit different with XP but substantially the same process and ITunes now recognizes the IPod Touch.
