My iPod touch does not show up in My computer or in itunes. Windows 8

I recently bought a Windows 8 computer, when i tried connecting my Ipod touch the sound went off on the ipod saying it was connected but no message saying to sync. On the computer nothing was shown saying anything had connected. I have tried re-installing itunes as well as running it in a windows 7 compatibilty.

Did you do everything here:

Including
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • IPod Touch will NOT show up in My Computer only in iTunes.

    It seems that ever since the 1.1.3 update, I have not been able to have my iPod show up in My Computer to be used as a flash drive. Normal flash drives work and my older video iPod works, but not the iPod Touch.
    I have upgraded to the new iTunes and Quicktime. At first (after upgrading iTunes) I saw an icon saying found Apple iPod. But then nothing. I can see it in Device Manager, but not in My Computer or even under Disk Management. What the heck???? Can anyone help me?

    As the others have said, there is no firmware version of the iPod touch that supports Disk Use.
    However there are alternatives out there for a small fee.
    Here is one of the 3rd-party vendors that offer this service:

  • IPod Touch is not showing up in My Computer

    I realize that there are several other topics that talk about this problem, but so far none have really helped me. My goal is to have my iPod Touch be recognized as a camera so I can upload all my photos from my Saved Photos to my computer and finally clear up some much needed space on it. Please don't refer me to software that will allow me to move photos from my iTouch to my PC because either they are all only trial versions or they don't allow me to access the images from my Saved Photos album.
    Currently my iPod Touch does not show up in My Computer. I'm running Windows XP. Checking my Device Manager for the driver, the only driver that comes up that relates to my iPod is called Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling that driver (and one I was able to get the iPod to show up in My Computer as a camera but when I clicked on it, it said that there were no pictures in the device [and I clearly do], and after uninstalling the driver again and reinstalling it the icon went away). I've read that maybe uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling it might fix my problem, but I'm weary to uninstall it for fear that I might loose all my applications that I've synced into iTunes as well as my purchases and all the movies and things I've downloaded.
    If anyone has any comments, suggestions, or further questions about my problem, PLEASE say so because this is very urgent and I need all the help I can get.

    Also, I forgot to add that my iTouch is a 1st Gen I believe (I'm sorry, I got it for a Christmas gift, but I'm pretty sure it's a 1st Gen).

    Start here.  Is ti normal and expected for the computer to also see the iPod as a comera since that is how you get saved photos from the iPod to the computer.

    Hey khdewey,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPod touch being recognized in iTunes on your Mac. The following resource may provide a solution:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591
    Note: This article is for Mac OS X users. If you're using a Windows PC, please refer to these troubleshooting suggestions.
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    1. Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    2. Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    3. Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    4. Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    5. Restart your Mac.
    Additional Information
    In rare circumstances, your device may be recognized after reinstalling iTunes, but after you restart your Mac, the device may not be recognized again. If this happens and you're using Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard, please follow these steps.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    When connecting my iPod Touch to iTunes, the "Podcasts" category no longer appears in the sidebar under "Devices". The category DOES appear under the Library portion of the sidebar, however. I prefer to manage and sync my podcasts manually within iTunes, but I now have no way of removing old podcasts from my iPod.

  • IPod Touch 4G not showing up in My Computer (Windows 7)

    Hello,
    I'm new to the forums and I don't know whether this is the right place for a Windows user to post a problem. If not, disregard this thread.
    My iPod Touch 4G doesn't always show up in My Computer making video/picture transfer impossible. So far I've gotten the following results:
    1 - iPod Touch 4g shows up as a digital camera with a camera icon. It then can be accessed through My Computer but iTunes won't see it.
    2 - iPod Touch 4g doesn't show up in My Computer at all. iTunes, however, see it just fine.
    3 - iPod Touch 4g shows up in My Computer as iPod with a black iPod icon. It then can be accessed through My Computer and iTunes.
    I've tried updating, reinstalling the driver and plugging the device into a different USB port but so far no luck. This is actually a pretty common problem for Windows users. This is the only device that I have such an issue with.
    I'm on a fresh Windows install and it's up-to-date.
