Ipod touch second generation not recognized

As I've updated iTunes, it no longer sees my iPod Touch, 2nd gen. That's what happens when you build good hardware? You render it useless??? OS 10.7.5
iTunes 10.7

IPod Touch 3rd generation not recognized in iTunes

I just recently upgraded my Macbook software to version 10.6.3 because I purchased an iPod shuffle and the newest version of iTunes would not install with my old software. Now my iPod Touch 3rd generation is not being recognized by the newest version of iTunes (10.2). I have already restarted my computer, and shut it down and removed the battery for a minute before starting it up again. None of these things worked. This is the first time I have tried to sync my iPod touch since installing the new software so I am not sure what I need to do.

It sounds like this may be the fix:

IPod touch 4th generation not recognized in iTunes

I've used ipod touch trouble shooting on line help and am still unsuccessful in getting iTunes to recognize ipod touch (even though it has in the past on this same MacBook Pro)

- Have you tried here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
- Have you reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Tried another computer
- Does the iPod work OK?
- Does the iPod charge?
- Try another cable

IPod Touch 4th Generation not recognized in iTunes 12

Before iTunes 12, I would always be able to sync my 32 GB 4th Gen iPod Touch (iOS 6.1.6) with no problem at all. After the upload, it is no longer recognized by iTunes. It's connected, but the iPod icon is nowhere to be found. I restarted my laptop, but the same problem occurs. Can I get some help with this issue. Thank you.

IPod Touch 3rd Generation not Recognized by iTunes but recognized by Windows as "Apple iPod"

Exactly what the title says. My iTunes will not recognize my iPod touch, but my Windows Vista will recognize it with autoplay. I updated iTunes about 10 minutes ago, tried two different apple wires, and 3 different USB ports that work. Can anyone help me fing a solution? I found the iPod Touch assistant thing and tried all of those steps but the problem recurred. Thank you in advance!

I have the same problem. My Iphone 4s works fine when docked to PC. PC won't recognize my 3rd Gen Nano. Same goes for my Work PC. They don't recognize it nor will plugging it in to a PC charge it. I have to plug it into wall socket to charge.
I have tried resetting, I have tried downloading newest Itunes.
Must be the Nano itself if it doesn't get recognized by mutliple PCs?
I haven't used the Nano for probably 2 months. Previously it worked fine...
One thing, when docked to my laptop during a reboot/startup, it intially starts to charge the Nano, but once setup is finished it doesn't recognize it any longer...

Dear Community - Please Help. iPod Touch 4th Generation Not Recognized Suddenly on Macbook Pro

Hello all,
Just today my iPod Touch is not being recognized by my macbook pro - OSX Mountain Lion. Literally was working yesterday.
I have tried all the suggestions and trouble shooting and have scoured these community pages for an answer trying everything...
     - Restart and Shutdown the Macbook
     - Reset iPod - even did a full reset (didn't have a ton of content on there - no biggie)
     - Checked the five cords i have with my iPad and the USB ports on the macbook and all work with the iPad no problem
     - etc...
The iPod DOES charge no problem with the wall adaptor, so the input on the iPod itself is fine... and the iPod functions and Apps are working perfectly, it just won't be recognized by the computer.
What can I do here????
Very puzzled and stressed as I need to load it up with music for tomorrow!

There was a reply here that I have been trying and now the reply is not in this discussion...
Is there anything else that anyone could suggest...
This is what was suggested:

IPod Shuffle second generation not recognized by my computer

I wish somenone can help.
Since I have bought my iPod, I was never able to connect it to my computer or any other computer (all PC's using Vista or XP). Always the same message "USB device not recognized". I have the latest iTunes version (8.0.0.35) and cannot find the trace of the iPod there too (logical indeed as the device is not recognized by the system).
While checking the USB port it says that the driver is not installed for this device (still the port works fine).
I just don't know how to charge the battery, connect my iPod and start using it. Is it a default from the factory or else...?
Thank you for your help.

Hi all,
So I was downloading songs off of LimeWire (shame on me, i know, but i had no money in the itunes store and i dont use my dads credit card for song purchases), and i put a song on my ipod shuffle 2G and it immediately disconnected from the computer. When I reconnected it to the dock, it did not appear in the "Devices" section of the iTunes sidebar, or in finder. It still plays music fine, and charges, but I would like to clear the songs off of it as I am giving it away. However, it doesnt show up in iTunes or in disk utility as another post elsewhere suggested, and the ipod resetter can't find it. So, does this sound like a virus or corrupted song file? I dont think it was, as whenever I download a corrupted song from limewire, the computer alerts me and doesnt allow the file into iTunes. any thoughts? help?
thanks
You might do better in the iPod forum.
With Limewire you get more than you pay for.

IPod shuffle (Second Generation) not recognized by Vista :(

I am using Windows Vista, having iTunes 7.4.1.2 installed.
However, my windows does not recognize or sync with my (2nd G) shuffle.
Can someone here help me

Hmmm. Actually, it might not be vista related b/c I just tried it on an XP machine and found the same problem. The reset utility (which still doesn't work on Vista, btw) can't find it either. Oddly enough, it still plays music and the battery charges. I guess my choices are 1) throw it away; 2) alway listen to the same songs over and over and over; 3) have it repaired. I've already had Apple replace it twice, so that's not really a very viable option. I think I'll throw it away.
No more apple devices for me. I've spent more time with shuffle and Airport Express issues than with every other piece of hardware I have combined.
Good riddens!
