IPod Touch wasn't showing up in iTunes (Windows), won't let me restore it.

Ok, so I got a new computer recently, as my old one was decimated by a virus. Yesterday, I tried to connect my ipod touch to the new computer for the first time, but it wasn't showing ip in itunes. I've tried everything in the troubleshooting guide, but nothing there has worked.
I have not, however, tried using a different computer, as the only other one nearby is my old one, and I am hesitant to connect my ipod to it as that computer still has the virus on it.
So today I decided to try restoring my ipod in the hopes that that would do something, but every time it gives me the 1611 error and tells me that my security software is interfering with the process. So I go about updating both the security software (avast and malwarebytes) and my computer, but I still get the same error. When I tried uninstalling the software, it did the same thing.
I'm not sure what else to do at this point. I'm hoping that I just overlooked a step or something like that. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be great.

DId you also disable the computer's firewall?
Have you did this:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

Why won't my album artwork sync to my iPod Touch but it shows up on iTunes?

Why won't my album artwork sync to my iPod Touch but it shows up on iTunes?

Ok I had this problem, and for me at least what happened was that not all the album artwork was attached to all songs on the album. So if you right click one of the albums you are having an issue with, the click artwork tab, and go through each song on the album, if it is missing from any of them it will not sync properly to any device. Find the songs that have the artwork, and then right click to copy it, then go to songs without it, and right click in the blank box and paste it in there. Then once finished with any issues you are having sync iPod, this should fix the problem. It worked for me, and it was unbelievably frustrating to know I have the artwork, but it wasn't showing up anywhere on the iPod. Hopefully this fixes the issue for you, like it did for me!

If you can't get it to shut down or restart when holding down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons and you can't get it recognized in iTunes to restore it, the iPod may have suffered a hardware failure and will need to go to Apple for service. Someone else here may have additional suggestions, though.
There is no "fifth generation" iPod touch, by the way, just for the sake of clarity; not yet, anyway.

I am using a Mac OSX Lion v10.7.4 and my ipod touch isn't showing up in my itunes. I've followed all of the articles' instruction and restated them both a million times and it still hasn't worked. What is there left to try?

have you tried using a different usb port on your computer some are not strong enough, does your cord still charger your phone? if not then maybe its the cord. have you uninstall itunes? ( it has six things to successful unistall it)

My ipod touch is not showing up on itunes

my ipod touch is not showing up in devices on itunes

Unplugit then replug it and that should work. If not unplug your iPod , on your computer right click my computer>manage>Services>iPod service>right click stop service> Then click restart service.
Pug your iPod back in, and that should fix it.

TS1363 1st generation iPod shuffle does not show up in iTunes (windows 7)?

1st generation iPod shuffle does not show up in iTunes on my Windows 7 PC (but shows up in my computer). Tried all the Apple trouble-shooting steps (some several times). It used to work with Windows 7 on this PC. Are there other steps I can try?

I'm not sure what "all" means, unless you state them, so if you have not done so already, you should use this procedure to reset the iPod shuffle
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
Then, shut down your computer (power off) and start it up, with iPod shuffle NOT connected. Run iTunes. Then, try connecting the iPod shuffle again.
Since this is a first gen iPod shuffle that IS recognized by the computer (so it's probably not a bad USB connector), you can also try using the iPod Reset Utility
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1238
This is for the first and second gen iPod shuffle only, and does a lower level reset than using a normal Restore in iTunes.

My Ipod Touch keeps going back to main screen and won't let me play games, read my ebook, etc.

My IPOD Touch was working great until about 2 weeks ago. Now when I try to play a game, read an ebook, etc. it automatically goes back to the screen showing all my apps and won't let me stay and use the app I have selected. Is there anything I can do?

Try a hard reset of the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Ipod touch no longer showing up in itunes after connecting to laptop.

I downloaded itunes on my new laptop that runs windows 7. Since I hadn't updated itunes on the pc, I connected the ipod to my pc (which runs windows xp). A screen pops up that basically alerts me that I have a digital camera installed. I have updated the drivers, I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows and it still shows up as a digital camera and still doesn't show up in itunes. Now, since I initially had the ipod hooked to the new laptop, I am wondering if I did something during the installation and sync on the laptop that has caused a problem on this desk top. I am completely ignorant when it comes to electronics. To summarize what I did.
1. Downloaded itunes onto laptop that runs windows 7.
2.Plugged in lpod touch to laptop and proceed to authorize both computers for itunes.
3. Made a playlist that didn't sync with ipod.
4. Went to the desk top(windows xp) and when I plugged ipod in it ask what camera location did I want to run device. That has never happened before.
5. Went to windows system folder and found the usbaapl. sys folder.
6 From the ipod camera device I opened the device manager, found the ipod under digital imaging..
7.Right clicked ipod camera and update driver,
8.Checked install from a list or specefic location.
9.Search for best driver in these locations. I then UNCHECKEd search removable media.
10.Copied and pasted the driver information in the box and clicked next.
11.Saw ipod device driver.
After all of that Ipod still shows up as camera and will not sync!!! Help

Start here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would first remove and reinstall all the Apple software by:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
The drivers in windows that sees the iPod as a camera is different that the drivers that see the iPod in iTunes.

IPod Touch will not show up in iTunes anymore

Hello. I have had my iPod Touch since 2011 and just recently I could not get it to show up in iTunes when I put the USB cable in to sync it. What ends up happening instead is a window appears showing my Apple iPod. I can click it and go into the Internal Storage which only shows my pictures and videos taken with the camera, but no music.
So I tried almost all of the troubleshooting steps here on iTunes support (except for starting all over erasing all songs and data because I am not ready to do that and I do not believe it would do anything with the synchronization process), and unfortunately nothing has worked. I tried the running as admin and compatibility mode and it still just comes up with that window whenever I connect. I ran the diagnostics and the iPod is not showing up (the only red X). I have Windows 8. Is there anything I can do to make iTunes recognize that the iPod is connected to the laptop?

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
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 Features app in 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

Delete app from iPod Touch, but still shows up in iTunes

I've deleted a couple of apps from my iPod Touch, but after a sync they are still showing up in the iTunes apps tab with my iPod plugged in. They are both unchecked, so that they will not sync, but I can't seem to delete the app itself from my computer. In the previous version of iTunes, you could manually delete an app from iTunes and it would be gone, not just unchecked.
Any advice?
Using latest version 9.

Try going into your iTunes/Mobile Application folder (wherever that is on Win XP) and deleting the .IPA for that particular app. Thats how I permanently delete my unwanted apps as simply deleting them in itunes or on the touch desnt get rid of them completely and iTunes always trys to put them back in there as it stayed stored in my application folder.

My ipod touch isn't showing up in itunes?

It won't show. It's not the cable at all. I plugged up to the itunes on mom's computer and it showed up. I resatred my computer even installed new updates on my computer. I went as far as deleting programs I don't use. Itunes freezes up on me then I have to close it down. When I try to open it back up again, I have to click the shortcut on my desktop, on my toolbar, in my menu, and go as far as in the start menu and use the run option. I called apple and I had to pay to get help?!!?!?! That's some bullsh*t. I'm only a teenager. Where the **** am I going to get 29 dollars from?
BTW I'm using it on my pc and it's a second generation. If I uninstall Itunes will all of my music get deleted too??

Try here:

You do have OSX 10.5.8 or later?

Up until four days ago my ipod touch was working perfectly! Now it won't show up on Itunes however it still shows up on my laptop as a camera. I've tried numerous solutions to fix this problem, such as uninstalling/reinstalling itunes, factory reset on the ipod, I've tested it on other computers and it works fine, so I know the problem is with Itunes! I'm using windows 8 as an OS.
Please someone help!

IPod Touch will not show up in iTunes...Please Help

Here is what I know/can remember. My iPod has not worked in 3 months! Not sure at what point it stopped but it worked fine for a year. Now when I plug it in it charges just fine just will not show up in iTunes. Sometimes it shows up as an unknown device on my computer and in the hardware device section shows up as unknown device. Thats all I got. I have tried all kinds of troubleshooting. I have took each little peice off and then reinstalled numerous times. I have even restored my computer back to square one. Still not working! I want to cry. I just want to listen to my podcasts again. They are downloading into Itunes just can't get the Ipod Touch to show up in iTunes...willing to try anything! Please help if you can! I have a 16GB and use XP with SP3. I assume all my hardware is good to go since it worked before and it charges through the USB port!

Welcome to the discussions,
here are some general troubleshooting tips to go through, maybe you missed one suggestion. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495 They range from using the assistant up to USB driver installation, Apple Mobile Device Service and checking for available BIOS updates.
