BRAND NEW IPOD TOUCH WONT APPEAR IN WINDOWS OR ITUNES

I just bought a brand new 8gb ipod touch and when i plug it into my computer the it lights up and beeps but nothing comes up on itunes or my computer. I have a working ipod video that syncs and is recognized by my computer everytime (even with the usb that came with my touch). I have tried uninstalling and installing itunes and that did nothing. I have had no computer problems to date and that included problems with my usb port. I dont know what else to do. It won't appear in my computer ANYWHERE!!

the usb connections work fine with my other ipod and camera. The computer makes a noise when i plug my new ipod in so i know that its not the usb cable or the port.
I have restored my ipod and when i go to put it into recovery mode it give me and error message (#1611) and wont let me continue.
when i called apple they said that, that error means its a hardware issue but I exchanged my ipod yesterday and i am having the EXACT same problem so its not a hardware issue. The apple associate then told me to disable all my antivirus software because it could be somehow blocking the apple mobile device thing but nothing is working still and i am back at sqaure one.
Please if you have any more suggestions. I am sure that there is just some setting somewhere on my computer that is off. is there a windows firewall setting i should be disabling?

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"

Itunes 11.4 freezing when ipod touch 5 connected to windows 7 64bit

Every time the iPod touch 5th generation is connected to ITunes in Windows 7 64 bit, the stupid iTunes freezes. The only way to unfreeze is to disconnect it. This problem has been going for a very long time. Upgrading iTunes does nothing. ITunes 11.4 does not fix the problem. There is no way to sync iPod touch with windows 7. This getting very frustrating. When is someone going to post a fix that permanently fixes this problem that has existed for a long time. Anyone got a brain that works?
A few months ago someone posted a fix that required to disable a windows update that work for a while. Now iTunes is back to its old freezing behaviors. Fix it Apple now!..

This is a useless reply. It does not work. Uninstalling and reinstalling does nothing to fix it. Itunes always freezes when Ipod is connected. This is a problem with Windows 7 64bit and is very common problem. Itunes doesn't want to cooperate with 64bit windows. If you search the internet, lots are having the same problem. This problem has existed for 10 years. Every new version of itunes never fixes the problem. Why can't Apple and Microsoft work together to fix the issue. This is unacceptable. Apple software designers are very lazy and stupid.

My Ipod touch wont connect to itunes now. I updated my ipod and ever since then it wont connect to itunes. It gives me some sort of error.

So then I hold the power and home button at the time time to restart it. And itunes now tells me I need to update and restore my ipod to sync music again. So either I have the ipod connected to itunes and cant sync..or I update the ipod and cant connect it to itunes...HELP!!

Hello,
If you have the latest version of iTunes, and nothing else is working, maybe putting the device into recovery mode will help.
To put the device into recovery mode:

After you've done this, you should be able to restore your device. This will remove your data.

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?
