Ipod touch no longer showing up as a device in itunes

My ipod touch (4th gen) is no longer visible as a device in iTunes.  This is a new development (it was fine the last time I connected my iPod to my PC about three weeks ago).  When I plug it into the PC (directly into a PC USB port) the PC beeps (confirming connection) and the device shows up in Windows explorer.  But the device is no longer recognized in iTunes (I have version 11.3.0.54).  Any help/suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

- 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 Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

  • IPod Touch no longer showing up under My Computer

    My iPod Touch is no longer showing in the device list under My Computer and as such can't access it to get my photos off it.
    It works in iTunes just fine, syncs fine, etc.
    If I go to Devices and Printers, it used to be listed under the Devices category as iPod, but now shows under the Unspecified category as Apple Mobile Device USB Driver, so basically a generic device.
    I have no devices with exclamation points or any other trouble signs under Device Manager.
    Help?

    Well, I am not entirely sure what exactly happened but after trying numerous times to reinstall the drivers and getting all sorts of error messages, I finally got Windows 7 to cooperate. The iPod Touch now shows up and is being detected as a digital camera under Devices, and under Computer it is showing up under Portable Devices. If I double-click on it I can view my pictures, transfer them, delete them, etc.

  • Ipod touch no longer showing up in itunes after connecting to laptop.

    I downloaded itunes on my new laptop that runs windows 7.  Since I hadn't updated itunes on the pc, I connected the ipod to my pc (which runs windows xp). A screen pops up that basically alerts me that I have a digital camera installed.   I have updated the drivers, I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows and it still shows up as a digital camera and still doesn't show up in itunes.  Now, since I initially had the ipod hooked to the new laptop, I am wondering if I did something during the installation and sync on the laptop that has caused a problem on this desk top.   I am completely ignorant when it comes to electronics.  To summarize what I did.
    1. Downloaded itunes onto laptop that runs windows 7.
    2.Plugged in lpod touch to laptop and proceed to authorize both computers for itunes.
    3. Made a playlist that didn't sync with ipod.
    4. Went to the desk top(windows xp) and when I plugged ipod in it ask what camera location did I want to run device. That has never happened before.
    5. Went to windows system folder and found the usbaapl. sys folder.
    6 From the ipod camera device  I opened the device manager, found the ipod under digital imaging..
    7.Right clicked ipod camera and update driver,
    8.Checked  install from a list or specefic location.
    9.Search for best driver in these locations.  I then UNCHECKEd search removable media.
    10.Copied and pasted the driver information in the box and clicked next.
    11.Saw ipod device driver.
    After all of that Ipod still shows up as camera and will not sync!!! Help

  • Brand new iPhone shows in Devices; iPod touch no longer shows in Devices

    I bought an iPod 4 today and was able to sync it with my existing iTunes library. I connected to USB port, it showed in Devices & in My Computer (XP), no problem.
    However, my iPod Touch, 8 months old, will NOT show up in iTunes or My Computer now, and I have NO idea why. I did ALL the troubleshooting, including uninstall/reinstall iTunes, restart computer, etc. If the USB works for iPhone, I assume THAT is not the issue. After 5+ hours working on this, I am over it and wish someone could help. Apple sent me to all the troubleshooting articles and now they are closed.

  • Movies I've purchased on my iPod Touch don't show up on the device anymore

    I've downloaded several movies from iTunes on my iPod Touch which no longer sync. They still show up on my MacBook Pro and in the sync screen on my laptop but I can't get them to show up on my iPod? What am I doing wrong?

    Good to know.  No error messages during the sync process with iTunes? To check, right-> click on your iPod from under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Reset Warnings.  Resync your device.
    I assume all of these movies still play in iTunes?
    Is the Sync only checked songs and videos option also enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?  If so, make sure each movie has a tick mark next to it from under the Movies section of your iTunes library.
