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?!

IPod Touch not detected by "My computer" and Spotify

Hello!
My iPod Touch 4th generation, wich is completely new, is not detected in "My Computer" or Spotify, only in iTunes. I have tried with updates and reboots, but nothing seems to work.
When troubleshooting in iTunes, it finds nothing wrong.
The iPod works perfectly fine with iTunes.
I have Windows XP and USB 2.0.
All help is appreciated! Thank you

I have tried with an other PC:
Before I installed iTunes on PC two, the iPod was recognized as a camera in "My computer".
After installing iTunes on PC two, it worked completely fine with iTunes, but again failed to be recognized in "My computer".

IPod Touch - not recognized on my com but works on others

I am so stumped... I plugged my iPod Touch (1st gen) into my computer as I always do and it didn't pop up in iTunes. I checked my computer (windows 7 - 32bit) and it wasn't showing up there either. Totally out of the blue, nothing changed, it just suddenly wasn't being recognized. I tried plugging in my shuffle, same thing. I was able to reformat my shuffle though through another computer and it is now working on my computer again. For whatever reason though I can't fix my touch!
I have done everything the apple support has suggested. When I started the ipod in safe mode it did pop up in my itunes but when I tried to reformat it I got an error that said I couldn't reformat it. So I unplugged it and plugged it into my boyfriends computer. It popped up in iTunes and was able to be reformatted. So the whole iPod has been reset but it STILL won't show up in my iTunes or My Computer. I just don't understand how it could be recognized on one computer but not on another, especially when I have another ipod (shuffle) that does connect.
Any suggestions? Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks!!!!

Pay particular attentions to the section on the Apple Mobile Device service. That is what the computer uses to see iOS devices like the iPod touch, iPhone and iPad. The other iPods like the Shuffle use differend means.

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.

Try restarting. Press and hold the sleep/wake button until you see the red slider then swipe to power off. Then press and hold the sleep / wake button until you see the Apple logo.

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?
