Ipod touch not detected by itunes on W8

Hi,
I am using windows 8 and everything was working properly until recently.
I don't know what happened but my ipod touch cannot be detected and synced by itunes anymore (but I can see it in "my computer").
I tried to reinstall itunes again, but it's not working!
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Ipod touch not showing in iTunes

Anyone help?
On an imac with 10.6.1 Mac OS and iTunes 9.1.1
Recently the HDD failed and Apple replaced, but since then ipod touch not recognized in iTunes.
Have followed all the steps in the support document for resetting, rebooting, reinstalling etc. and ipod touch is recognized the first time after following this process, but then after that when I boot up my mac and iTunes a second time, it stops being recognized again. I cannot reinstall iTunes every time I want to sync my ipod touch!!! Anyone else had similar issues and solved?
Thanks

I am having a similar issue. I have a 1st-generation iPod touch, and a MacBook running Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.3) and iTunes 9.1.1. It's a bit old now and the WiFi isn't very good, but my iPod touch still works perfectly, except that it doesn't show up in iTunes, which I discovered yesterday when I tried to sync some new music. I got my iTouch G1 the first week they came out and it worked perfectly with my iBook G4 running Tiger, and also worked perfectly with my new MacBook running Leopard which replaced the iBook when its logic board bit the dust. I recently updated to Snow Leopard (about a month ago now), and now my iTouch doesn't show up in my iTunes sidebar, but a volume shows up in Disk Utility that could only be this iPod and things do happen when I plug in the iPod (the first time I connected it since I added some Snow to my Leopard, iPhoto opened and prompted a download of a screenshot I'd taken with the iPod). I'm mostly writing this right now because the support page pertinent to this issue is down due to some sort of Apple web maintenance and I'm tired of getting the same error message. I actually have everything on my Mac backed up, and when I installed Snow Leopard I just did a basic installation but have been thinking of going back and doing a clean wipe and install and then getting the iTunes and iPhoto libraries et cetera off of my external HD. Would this fix my problem? I figure that since my iPod touch's files and system have been constant throughout this, it must be some issue with Snow Leopard, however before I wipe everything and have to set my system up again from scratch, I would like to know if this problem would be fixed by doing that or if there is some problem inherent in Snow Leopard that needs to be manually fixed.

IPOD TOUCH NOT WORKING WITH ITUNES

I am using:
iPod Touch 16GB 1.1.4 (With $25 Software Upgrade)
Windows Vista Premium Edition
iTunes 7.6.2
Whenever I connect my iPod, the device connect sound is made and it shows up in the my computer window, but it will not show up or sync with iTunes.
I HAVE ALREADY TRIED THE FOLLOWING:
Reseting the computer
Reseting the iPod
Using a different USB port
Using a different cable
Erasing ALL of the iPod's contents (Yes I lost my $25 update as well)
Restarting the "APPLE MOBILE DEVICE SUPPORT" in the "systems" application
...As well as many other things, all with absolutely NO results.
I have tried to manage my ipod through other programs, nothing seems to work. I connected the iPod to a different computer and everything worked fine.
I ASSUME the problem has something to do with the iPod Touch's drivers; for whatever reason they might be corrupted or installed incorrectly, thus preventing the iPod from automatically reinstalling them as well as preventing the possibility of syncing.
My question is, how can I reinstall the drivers without having the iPod touch do it automatically?
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

I fixed the problem myself.
If anyone else has this same problem and is looking to fix it, here is what I did.
I found this on another site:
"Okay well I spent about an hour on the phone with Apple trying to fix this problem. The guy I talked to seemed to have delt with this problem before. He tould me that Apple was getting numerous calls about the iPod touch not connecting with iTunes. So here is the solution that worked for me.
The first thing you must do it uninstall iTunes and Quicktime using the controll pannel, add/remove hardware, on your windows computer. Once you have uninstalled both of thoes programes go ahead and look for anything else that is Apple and uninstall them as well. There should be an Apple updater or driver that is very critical to uninstall, this was the cause of iTunes not recognizing the new iPod Touch. Next make shure you have the very latest update for Windows on your computer, you can check this on Microsofts web page. Finnaly once you are shure you have UNINSTALLED EVERYTHING that says Apple, iTunes, or Quick time restart your computer and MAKE SHURE THAT YOUR IPOD IS NOT CONNECTED TO YOUR COMPUTER. Then download the newest version of iTunes and install it. Once the installation is complete go ahead and connect the iPod Touch and everything should work.
I am not shure if this will work for everyone but in my situation it worked. I hope it helps some of you out there!!"
That worked like a ******* charm. Hope this helps.

Ipod touch not detected by my computer

My Windows XP SP3 is not able to detect iPod Touch 4G. Please help. iTunes displays it fine.

You're welcome.
It isn't copy and paste. It is manually dragging music and videos from your iTunes library to your iPod Touch under Devices in the iTunes source list. To remove music and video from the iPod Touch, open the iPod Touch under Devices in the iTunes source list to select and delete music and video from the iPod Touch.
Tfe downside with this is if you restore the iPod Touch with iTunes if wanted or needed. With Sync Movies, TV Shows, Music, and 3rd party apps selected and used instead, your selections under the various tabs for your iPod Touch sync preferences with iTunes will be selected automatically when restoring with iTunes rom the iPod Touch backup. With manually managing music and videos, you must remember which music and videos were previously transferred to your iPod Touch and manually drag all back to your iPod Touch. And it isn't possible to manually manage 3rd party apps, which must be synced, so you are syncing anyway.
With sync music selected, after downloading a song with your iPod Touch, the song will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPod Touch with iTunes after doing so.
The same applies with movies if you download a movie direct with your iPod Touch, and with 3rd party apps with Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPod Touch sync preferences with iTunes.
You are much better off all the way around by syncing instead.

IPod Touch, not detected in Windows or iTunes...

First of all, hello to everyone...
i want to say that i read a lot EVERYWHERE about my issue and still i couldnt find a solution...
the problem is easy, i have a 3rd gen ipod touch, OS 4.2.1 now fully working... but, it's not detected in windows or itunes, as simple as that, and as u all have read in lots of other posts...
my ipod is now working because i took it to an apple store and they charged it in a MAC and they had no problem at all. the MAC detected the ipod, with all its content and my ipod's name...
but when i took it home -this has been hapenning since maybe... 5 MONTHS!-, i plug it in my PC and nothing happens...
ok, first of all, my spec... win vista home premium 64 bits, last version of itunes...
i tried ALL the solutions provided in APPLE official support page, and nothing happens... that means:
1- completely uninstall itunes and then reinstalling it... i ALSO FORMATED my entire hard drive twice!!!!
2- tried all USB ports and even an entirely different PC and nothing happened
3- bought 3 different IPOD to USB cables and nothing happened
4- tried setting ipod to restore, that way itunes SOMETIMES detected the ipod but i coulnt restore because of different error codes, so i had to take it several times to apple store to "unblock" it...
the only way it works -detection and charge- is with MAC computers or dock systems such as an iHome my gf has thats the way im charging it now, but otherwise it wont work...
i would really appreciate any help, since idont know what else to do!!
thx in advance!!

HI I was having some other problems getting my itouch to restore because it was not being recognized in itunes and kept erroring out. Now it has finally restored after I updated all kinds of drivers and removed and reinstalled itunes and apple software a million times,(yes this is all after installing itunes 8.1 and paying for an itouch upgrade as well) Now itunes says it cannot do anything with the ipod because it is getting an invalid response from the device. So it won't put anything back on my itouch or even show that I have plugged it in. I emailed tech support, If I find anything out I'll let you know, will you do the same for me?

Ipod touch 4g detected in itunes but not showing the ipod touch control panel

i just setup my ipod touch 4g on ios 5.0.1. It's detected in itunes on the devices side bar but when i click it just a white screen stating "ipod" comes on the itunes window. help ! i cannot sync anything onto it

Try connecting your ipod to another computer and sync only 1 file or song just for isolation purpose only to see if it'll sync.
If still not syncing, then porbably you may have a bad iOS installed in iPod which is hard to see if it has a problem because you said nothing's wrong with iPod. I just saying is, it MIGHT have a bad iOS.
If you are unable to do a restore, put your ipod in DFU mode, then connect to iTunes and iTunes will detect your ipod in restore mode. Press shift key (PC keyboard) then click the restore button on iTunes. I hope you have your copy of IPSW file for restoration purposes.

IPod Touch not detected in My Computer but works fine in iTunes?

I can do everything fine with my ipod touch 4g in iTunes but I want to retrieve the video files I have on the iPod touch. The iPod doesn't show up in My Computer.
- My 1G iPod Touch shows up in My Computer when connected.
- Uninstalling Apple Mobile Device Support allows me to see Apple iPod in My Computer, but it's empty. After iTunes opens the Apple iPod icon disappears and there's nothing in My Computer.
Help please?!

Try this link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363 it might resolve your issue with the ipod not displayed in "itunes" but shows up in "computer"

Ipod touch not detect by pc or itunes but 2 other iphones are.

My ipod touch isnt being detect by itunes or pc but my other 2 iphones are. I have reinstalled itunes and also hard booted the ipod. Is there anything else i can try? thanks

- See if placing the iPod in recovry mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Last, make an appointment a the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

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
