ITunes doesn't recognize my iPod but my laptop does

I'm having a problem with my ipod touch and I can't seem to find anyone with the same problem. About a month ago, I updated itunes after not updating it for a couple months.
The same day I was cleaning my computer, so I was unninstalling some programs I never use, the thing is I must have deleted one I didn't had to, because from that day on when I connect my ipod or any apple device to my computer, my laptop recognizes it, but itunes doesn't. So I haven´t been able to add any music or videos to my ipod in nearly two months... I tried unninstalling and installing itunes again and again and with different versions to see if my ipod wasn't compatible with the version I had updated but that wasn't the case, I have tried everything I can find on the internet but nothing seems to fix my problem.
Is there any

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or              
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
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • TS1363 itunes doesn't recognize my ipod but does recognize my iphone.

    I tried to restore but it now my ipod is blank and my itunes library won't sync with the ipod. The ipod is recognized in My Computer.

    If the iPod was not being recognized by iTunes (as it says in the topic title), how you were you able to run a Restore on it?  iTunes runs the Restore, and iTunes can't do that if it can't see the iPod.
    This question seem to have come from the Apple article called iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes.

    Did you go through all of the many steps in that article?

    I reinstalled the current version of iTunes, 8.2.1.

  • My itunes doesn't recognize my ipod touch because I've never connected it before and it is disabled, it won't let me restore it, it says to enter a passcode in order to connect and I can't because it is disabled

    My ipod touch is disabled and it says to connect to itunes to restore.  I have never added the ipod to my devices on my itunes so when I connect it says that itunes doesn't recognize the device.  I then put it in recovery mode and connected it to itunes and I clicked restore and it says that itunes can't connect until I put in the passcode, but I can't put in a passcode because it is disabled!!!  I don't know how to fix it and it is only a month old, should I take it back?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • Itunes doesn't recognize my ipod, music folder error

    my pc recognizes ipod but itunes doesn't recognize it. i bought my ipod classic 120 gb last week. first time, everything was alright and itunes were syncing well... but after a day, itunes started to not recognize my ipod. i tried lots of things to fix it; uninstalling and reinstalling itunes; restarting my ipod; i did the things in this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US; i installed floola etc etc... but nothing's changed...
    and, there's a "ipod_control/music folder" error... how can i fix it?

    this osunds similar to the problem I am having with a ipod classic 120 gig model. Itunes is saying that the ipod wont work without itunes 8.0 and to download thelatest version of itunes. And I have the latest version of itunes- 8.2. and it still does not recognize my ipod.

  • ITunes doesn't recognize my iPod out of the blue

    My USB cable recognizes my iPod because the battery icon on the top right corner will show that the iPod is being charged by the computer, but iTunes stopped recognizing my iPod and doesn't open anymore, even when I open it manually. I upgraded to the most recent version of iTunes, but it still doesn't work.

    No I didn't change anything about the software/hardware. All of the sudden iTunes stopped recognizing my iPod, but my computer obviously still recognizes it because my iPod will charge when it's connected to my computer. iTunes just doesn't recognize my iPod anymore, so I tried to download the updated version of iTunes (I got it from another site because I went to the download website on Apple and there weren't any directions or any pop-up boxes to allow me to download anything).

  • The new iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod classic.  Why?

    I had to re-install my OS which required installing the new iTunes.  Now iTunes won't recognize my iPod classic.  It took some time before iTunes would even allow me to log in to my account.  What's the deal??  I'm becoming increasingly irritated that I can't put my cloud music back onto my iPod...

  • ITunes doesn't recognise my iPhone but my PC does

    I've just updated iTunes but when I connect my iPhone 3GS, iTunes doesn't recognise it but my laptop does. Does anyone know why and what to do to correct it?

    Typical, no one has answered your question.
    It happened to me & now again. Last time I found my computer had a virus & after I connect up to ITunes it was working slower then the next time I connected ITunes wouldnt reconise my phone, then the nes time I did it the computer or ITunes shut down my phone & I couldnt turn it on.
    My solution: Either roll back or reformat your computer.

  • My iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone, but it does recognize my iPod

    When I plug in my iPhone to my computer, the computer recognizes the device, but my iTunes no longer does.  As far as troubleshooting goes, I've restarted the phone, iTunes, and the computer.  I have also plugged in my iPhone to my another computer and it shows up on iTunes on the second computer.  The next thing I have read says to completely uninstall iTunes and reinstall, but I'd like to keep that as my last resort.  I did however plug in my iPod and my iTunes does recognize that.  If the problem was with iTunes itself, wouldn't it not recognize either device?  Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!

    It does so have the capabilities to be seen on your PC, I do it all the time to move my pictures from my phone to the PC and I have the iPhone 4s

  • Itunes doesn't recognize my ipod nano

    I have an I-Pod Nano.  I'm pretty sure it's generation 4, maybe 5.  It doesn't have a camera, I know that.  The device keeps shutting off.  Windows hardly ever recognizes it.  I-tunes never does.  Can anyone help?  I want to reload the software onto it, but don't know how!  If you could help, I would greatly appreciate it.

    I'm pretty sure it's generation 4, maybe 5.  It doesn't have a camera, Its a 4th gen.

  • The new version of iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod shuffles where the old version did. Can you help?

    I downloaded the new version of iTunes today-it doesn't recognize my shuffles-the older version did. Can you help?

    Ok people after messing up three days with my jailbroken ipod touch cauze my itunes didn't recognize it i figured out that the problem is first windows recognized it as a imaging device o as a camera, i found in the device manager was listed mi apple ipod under portable devices and there was the problem it has to be listed under universal serial bus controllers named as a apple ipod so this is what i did but first make sure u have correctly installed itunes and the apple mobile device support:
    1 open the device manager or windows button + r is run and then type devmgmt.msc
    2 look for the portable devices and find the apple ipod or wherever that is listed on your pc.
    3 once u find the apple ipod do a right click on it and click on uptade driver software
    4 take the manualy opcion or browse on my computer and then look for this folder on your computer C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    there should be the driver that itunes recognize and your windows wont recognize your ipod as a camera again but i repeat u have to make sure u have installed the apple mobile device support u can get it by extracting the itunes+quicktime package using winrar. so click on update or next what ever on the update process and next time itunes will open your ipod for sincying thanks to forums ilounge.com

  • TS1363 iTunes recognizes my iPod but my computer does not.  Is there a solution for this?

    When I plug my iPod Nano into my computer, iTunes recognizes it, but my computer does not so I am not able to sync it.  I have turned my iPod off before plugging it into my computer, but that doesn't seem to help.  Has anyone else had this problem?  I haven't had this issue until about 2 weeks ago and the only thing I've done within the last two weeks was upgrade to the latest iTunes.
    I appreciate your help!

    I figured out why my iPod wouldn't sync.  I must have previously changed my "Sync Music" setting to "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres".  Once I changed that setting to "Entire music library", my iPod was able to sync successfully.

  • Why does my iPod keeps saying "Trust Computer?" and iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod?

    I connect my iPod to my laptop, and everytime my iPod keeps showing up this "Trust This Computer?" I always answer "Trust" , but when I connect again it asks the same question. Also when my iPod is connected it doesn't show up in iTunes. It shows up in my laptop in "Devices and Drives" as 'Apple iPod'. It doesn't even show up as the name I gaved it. Please help, I want to add music to my iPod but I can't because of this problem.
