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 not recognized by windows or itunes by one laptop fine on any other laptop

    I have a laptop that runs windows 7, my ipod classic and nano all get recognized by computer and itunes.  When I plug in my ipod touch, it isn't recognized by either, but when I plug it into another computer or laptop running windows 7, it is recognized.  I have run all the recommended steps, reinstalled itunes several times, why won't this work?

    Did you try everything here:

  • 4th Gen iPod Shuffle not detected by Windows(7)/iTunes

    Hi,
    I have an iPod Shuffle 4th Gen (I believe it's a 2GB).  I use windows 7.
    I'm having an issue where Windows and iTunes cannot detect my iPod shuffle.
    It was working fine, then I did a restore and set it into manual handling.  About 30 minutes later, I heard a USB device get disconnected from Windows (it played the USB disconnect sound/tones over my headphones).  Now, upon plugging it in to ANY USB port, it does not appear.
    I've looked at several articles/troubleshooting pages, and none seem to have resolved this issue.
    I also noticed that when plugged in, it slowly flashes a green light (no orange light comes on at all).  I was concerned there was an issue with power, but upon turning the device on, I get an automated message saying to add music to the device before it turns itself off.
    Any thoughts would be welcome.
    Thank you.

    Do the USB ports work for for other devices?

  • 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.

  • My ipod is not detected on windows or itunes. My little Brothers does!

    My whole fam just got ipod nanos for christmas... It was cool. Until mine just died. I plugged it into the computer to charge it, and it didnt work. Spent forever trying to figure it out. Later we got a wall charger and it charged perfectly. My sister put music on hers about 6 hours ago, but now hers is doing the same thing as mine! not being detected, or getting charged by computer, or even being found as a storage device. I am Baffled. If i dont find out i will go to the apple store, but i had my ipod engraved and i dont want to get a new one...
    I know its not the usb ports because i just tried my little brothers and his works fine. Is it an Ipod Deffect? or What?

  • IPod Touch not recognised on Windows 8 and will not appear as connected in iTunes.

    Usually when I plug my iPod Touch (4th Gen) into my laptop (Windows 8) it appears automatically on iTunes for me to sync. However, when I tried to do this today, iTunes did not recognise that a device was connected and this was confirmed after I did a diagnostic test. Windows recognises that an iPod has been plugged in, however where it usually says "Alicia's iPod Touch", it just appears as "Apple iPod" and when I click on it, I cannot access any photos/videos that I have on my iPod. Any help would be very much appreciated if anybody know how I can fix this. Thank you.

  • Ipod is not connect to windows or itunes but it still shows up on ipod

    i had to re set my ipod the other day and ever since then it will NOT connect to windows of itunes but every time it shows up on the ipod that it is connected!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    try again to reset by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again. If still no luck, restore "as new ipod"

  • Airplay not detected in windows 7 itunes.

    Airplay not detected on windows itunes even after windows update. Security & windows firewall not an issue. Please assist in re-installing the airplay option in my windows 7 itunes.

    I, too, have the same problem. I have read multiple posts, but nothing works. It all began with an iTunes update. Airplay, my ATV, home sharing, and Apple Remote all worked. Now, everything that is dependent on iTunes does not work.
    They are all on the same network.  I have checked it and changed it multiple times. My ATV retrieves photos from my Win 7 HP computer fine, but iTunes might as well not exist. The ATV won't see iTunes through home sharing. None of my AirPlay devices are recognized by iTunes. There isn't even the icon. Remote doesn't recognize the iTunes library either.
    I have reinstalled iTunes several times. Shut down and restarted everything several times. On two occasions, it all worked for a short time, so I know it can work. But I can't replicate that, no matter what I do.
    I have disabled Norton security (and updated it). No difference. I shouldn't have to remove it since it all worked before the iTunes update. That's why I believe it is an iTunes issue. It once worked. Everything else works.

  • Ipod Touch not accepted by the latest iTunes

    Hey there
    this morning i updated my itunes to the latest version. now, i wanted to connect my iPod with my PC (Win 7, 64-Bit) and iTunes says
    "An iPod is discovered, but could not be identified. Please disconnect your iPod from you PC and try again."
    That's what i did but nothing happened. So tried to restart my iPod and connect it to my PC again - also nothing; same message. 
    Is there any way to get my iPod accepted by my PC?
