ITunes not recognizing any of my devices

Hello - about 2 hours ago my iTunes (10.7) running on a Mac w/ 10.8.2 stopped recognizing my devices (iPhone 4S w/ iOS 6), Ipad (gen 1) and Apple TV (3 gen). I reset my apple tv, turned on/off Home sharing (all devices are indicating they have the right Apple ID),turned off wifi and shut down everything. Not sure what else I can do. I even tried to connect my Remote app again to either itunes or apple tv, but it could not find either. What to do... what to do

Itunes not recognizing my devices after installing 11.1.4

As per itunes message to update to latest version, I updated to 11.1.4 on my PC. I'm running windows 8.1, 64 bit. After updating and restarting computer, itunes will not recognize any of my devices. iphone4s, ipod touch 5g, ipod touch 4g. The devices "are" recognized on the computer when plugged in via usb. I guess this would indicate that the usb cables and the drivers are good.
All of my itunes libraries for the associated devices open up just fine. All of the contents are in tact. It's just that the device is not recognized in itunes when opened. Any suggestions would be much appeciated.

Windows 8.1, 64bit
It appears that the 64bit install messed up the device drivers for the Apple mobilie devices connecting as USB.
I tried many things, I may have missed a step below. But the following is what I believe was the fix - since it worked on a 2nd PC.
Make sure you are using an administrator account. Any of them on your machine will do for the following
a) Get Windows to restart the drivers:
    - disconnect your USB device and close ITunes
    - connect your USB device
    - if ITunes loads, close it.
b) File explorer:
Open File explorer and browse to
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
In that folder there should be a set of files named "usbaapl64...."
right click on the one ending in "INF"
Select Install. It's very quick.
remove the USB device
c) Restart the computer.
When you login again, load ITunes before you attach your USB device.

USB Issue - Not recognizing ANY device

I am having a problem with my USB ports.
First of all, I have a IBM Thinkpad T42 - model number 2373-9XU.
I have the latest BIOS and all the latest drivers for the USB ports.
The issue just started a couple days ago. Whenever I plug in a USB device, such as my IPod or my Smartphone, it is NOT recognized by my computer. However, any device that I plug into the USB port will start charging. So, I know there is power to the USB ports.
I have uninstalled the USB drivers and reinstalled them, still having the same issue.
Also another note, I was looking through the device manager under System Devices and there was a yellow exclamation point next to "ISAPNP Read Data Port". The error code on it was "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
Any suggestions?
PS. I have tried to reinstall the BIOS, but when I do that it says "No update is needed at this time" and won't let me install it. Is there a workaround to that?

So, I looked at the Services information on the Recover and Restore startup utility (pushing the AccessIBM button during startup) and found the following:
Service: upnphost
Name: Universal Plug and Play Device Host
Status: Stopped
(Previous Status: Running)
Startup: Manual/On-Demand)
Path: c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe
Vendor: Microsoft Corporation
Version: 5.1.2600.2180
(xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
Could this also have something to do with the USB ports not working properly?

Why is Itunes not recognizing my devices??

I updated my Itunes two days ago to iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (64-bit). Now my itunes will not recognize my Ipad or Iphone 5. I have iOS 7.0.4.
I have Windows 8. My computer is a Dell. It is about six months old. I have two different cables, and tried both. It will import my photos, so I know my computer is seeing the two devices, but nothing beyond that. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. I have shut down and restarted multiple times. I checked and I do not have a driver issue on my computer. Everything worked just fine before I did the update....
I have tried everything I can think of. I tried to Bluetooth versus using the cord, but for some reason I am unable to do that so that is not an option.
HELP!!!

Hey corky60,
I'd go ahead and give the following troubleshooting steps a shot:
1. Try the iPod troubleshooting assistant:
2. Restart the iPod Service
3. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
4. Empty your Temp directory and restart
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
6. Change your iPod's drive letter
7. Remove and reinstall iTunes
8. Disable conflicting System Services and Startup Items
9. Update, Reconfigure, Disable, or Remove Security Software
10. Deleting damaged or incorrect registry keys
You can read more about each step in detail in this article:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363
I'd start at the top and work through the steps until iTunes recognizes your iPod nano.
Take care,

HT1449 I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch). All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices

I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch). All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please

The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
The Apple store will do this for you, you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google.
