IPod Touch Not Recognized in Windows 8.1 Preview

Hello.  I installed Windows 8.1 Preview clean last week, and am now having problems getting my iPod Touch recognized within iTunes.
Normally, there is a button marked On This iPod, which I click, and then load music in that screen.  That button is not appearing.
Furthermore, usually my iPod is listed somewhere in Windows Explorer.  It is not listed.  I've tried hooking the iPod Touch up to each of my USB ports.  I also have a 4-port USB 3.0 hub and tried them.  The device isn't being recognized.
I understand it's possible there could be conflicts between Windows 8.1 and some software.  Windows 8.1 is, of course, still in the beta stages. But I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem, and if there might be a workaround for it.
Thank you!   J. Danniel

I uninstalled iTunes, rebooted, and reinstalled.  Now, the iPod is being recognized by iTunes.  Hopefully, it will remain recognized the next time I reboot Windows.  I'd hate to have to uninstall/reinstall each time.
But, I'm using a beta operating system, and knew the ramafications when I installed it.  So, whatever happens, happens.  Thank you for responding.   Jd

  • IPod Touch not recognized by Windows Explorer.

    My iPod Touch is shown in iTunes' list of devices but is not recognized by Windows Explorer.  Another possibly consequential symptom is that iTunes will not start when the device is connected to the computer.  Any help appreciated.
    Windows 7 Pro, IE9, have verified latest version of iTunes.

    If your iPod is recognized by iTunes (and by your photo app as a camera), then that's how it should be. To startup iTunes when the iPod is connected, check the appropriate option on the iPod's Summary page in iTunes.

  • Ipod touch not recognized in windows after reset

    I just reset my ipod touch in itunes and now it's not recognizing it. i was updating to 2.2.1 firmware and i never got past the update. it's hung on that screen that has the usb and cd. and windows keeps saying found new hardware and wants a driver. my ipod does not work now. how do i get windows to recognize it so i can finish the update.
    I'm on xp 64 bit. and yes i'm using a hacked version of itunes. but it worked with this update before. i actually had the 2.2.1 firmware on it already but i needed to reset the ipod because i have a dead strip i was hoping a reset would fix. now nothing works.

  • IPod Touch not recognized in Windows & iTunes won't start unknown error -50

    I have been trying to fix a connectivity issue with my iPod touch for almost 6 hours now. I've read all over the iPod Touch forums and none of the solutions worked for me. I've installed and uninstalled iTunes multiple times and nothing seems to work.
    Also, earlier this evening iTunes was working but it wouldn't recognize my iPod touch although it would charge. Now that iTunes won't start I'm also having problems with charging my iPod and at no time, was my iPod ever recognized in 'My Computer'.
    Someone please help! I'm at my wits end without being able to use and update my iPod. All help/insight/suggestions are appreciated and thanks in advance!

    how did you test that ?
    anyhoo, you might want to give this a shot:

    +Connect to pc and restart again, I did this 2 times and it was recognized and its working fine.+

    here's the original thread: http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-17997-ipod-not-detected
    if still no joy, it could be that your Touch is a goner. if it is still under warranty, you should plan a trip to the nearest Apple store.

  • Ipod touch not recognized by windows 7

    Hello,
    I know this is a commonly asked issue on these forums. So I will be as thorough as possible. I am using an ipod touch first gen running iOS 3.0. I am trying to sync it up to my computer which is running windows 7 profession service pack 1. I have followed the steps on the apple help guide and with apple device manager running automatically, I cannot get the device to work. I have reinstalled itunes and the ipod has a charge (for the time being). I was wondering if anyone had any more tips or tricks to get my ipod to be recognized? (My usb ports all work and if I plug it into my parents computer it is recognized there).

    The symptoms are a bit different, but since you've got an nVidia chipset and (presumably) at least 4 GB of RAM, I think the first thing to do is make sure you've applied the *Microsoft Host Controller Driver Update* available for you at your drivers and downloads page at HP:
    [HP Pavilion Elite e9120f Desktop PC > Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit) > Software & Driver Downloads: Microsoft Host Controller Driver Update|http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv -78469-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&os=4063&product=3970019]
    With that update in place, does the Touch behave a bit better when you plug her into the PC?

  • Ipod touch not recognized by Windows 7. screen cycles constantly

    I think this is different than the other posts. When i connect my ipod touch to my Win7 PC it 'cycles'. It displays the charging screen for about 0.5 seconds, then displays the 'start' screen for about 0.5 seconds. It then cycles between the 2 screens every 0.5 second or so until I unplug it. Anyone have a fix for this?
