Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync!

Why does my 3rd generation 8gb ipod touch not pick up on ios 5 update?

I know you are not apple though I believe I still have apoint. As you can see the release date for these two iPod touches is differentby about a year. My iPod was sold as an apple iPod touch 8 GB third generation,and as I can see from this page and many others have experienced this. I wouldcomplain to apple though there seems to be no actual way to do this withouthaving to fork out for additional support, which is unacceptable also my iPodwas bought form a reliable UK retailer. It is not just the seller who names itas a 3rd generation I have also included a print screen of a trade in offerfrom a large phone shop site:

IPod touch not being recognised by iTunes, recognised in "My Computer"

Hello,
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate, I have iTunes 10.
I have tried restoring the iPod touch, I have tried switching it on and off. I have tried with each USB port, my security settings are fine. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, I have restarted the computer. I have reset the ipod.
It has still not been recognised by iTunes.
What can I do to get the iPod touch to be recognised by iTunes?
vvv on "My Computer" at the bottom I can see this. Here I can access my DCIM folder, which contains some photos and videos.

Thanks,
Aimee.

So the Apple Mobile Device serviced is installed and running on your system? You tried to uninstall and re-install iTunes and all Apple related software?
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

New Ipod Touch not being recognised by itunes

Hi, can someone please help!
I purchased a new iPod touch (the one with the camera )the other day and yet so far iTunes nor my computer has recognized it.
I have tried many things:
Updating itunes
Uninstalling and reinstalling itunes
Unblocking itunes related software in my firewall
Trying different USB ports
Turning ipod off and on in different ways
Restarting computer
Using different usb cords
Nothing has worked so far! My computer meets the requirements i think. Its a windows professional with a service pack 3 and it has usb 2.0 ports. I have a working itunes account and store and i have itunes version 10.1. My ipod has full charge also
My computer makes the noise when something is plugged in, yet my ipod is not appearing under devices on itunes. My old nano is being picked up fine yet my new ipod touch isnt!
I dont know whether i should return to the store i purchased it at or if it is a computer malfunction thats the probelm.
Please please help! I've reached a dead end!

Why is my iPod Touch not being recognized in iTunes, Device Manager, or my entire computer?

I have had my iPod Touch since christmas and it is now June. The version is 4.1 and it's the one with the camera. My previous cord worked fine and I never had any problems with iTunes or my iPod before. I lost my cord for about a month (actually I have no clue how long) and my dad picked one up for me yesterday. It cam in a BELKIN package with the USB cord that plugs into a wall charger or car charger. So, I needed to upload my music and when I plugged my iPod in, I went to go sync the music, and I noticed the was no "Device" column in iTunes. So, I went into "My Computer" and didn't find it in (E:) where it always used to be. Then I searched the WHOLE computer and I couldn't find it anywhere. Then I searched for help online. Everything kept telling me to go to device manager and reinstall the device and blah blah blah. BUT IT'S NOT EVEN IN THE DEVICE MANAGER!! I couldn't find it anywhere in there! So like, is my iPod completely erased from my computer forever??? I tried restarting my iPod, my computer, and I made sure my iTunes was the lastest version. I also tried 3 different USB ports and none of them worked!      SO NOW WHAT!!?? Should I try a different USB cord?? Please help!!!
          Sincerely,
   Desparate Girl Who Loves Her iPod Dearly                      P.S. I have Windows XP.

You should get a genuine USB cord from Apple, to make sure your iPod 4G is supported correctly.
In addition to that see if Apple Mobile Device Service is still installed and active on your computer. More info in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes now

i have a friend who has an ipod touch....everything had been going fine for him and then all of a sudden it was not being recognized any more....what caused this? he did say that he had done an update but i'm not sure what version he has....could this possibly be the problem.....does anyone an a fix for this?

I think Apple is having a problem at the moment, my Ipod touch was always fine syncing until the new update! (Even on older itunes version, I could'nt sync since new update came out) It just isnt recognizing the device...
Ive done all that Apple says to do, none of which helps at all, I reckon its thier own side of the problem they need to fix...

IPod touch not being recognized by iTunes on my MacBook, and on 2 other PCs

Hello,
After scouring the web and these discussion forums to no avail, I've decided to post my problem. I downloaded iTunes 8.0 yesterday, and updated the firmware on my iPod Touch to 1.1.5. I tried connecting my iPod, and nothing happened. It is not being recognized by my MacBook. So, I tried using another USB iPod connector, and nothing happened. I tried using a firewire connector, and nothing happened. Frustrated, I tried connecting to my one roommate's HP laptop and see if it would get recognized there - no. I then tried on my other roommate's laptop. The device was recognized to be USB, but iTunes wouldn't go ahead and try and reformat it. I'm starting to lose my mind! I've tried resetting the iPod touch itself loads of times to no success. I've tried restarting while having the iPod connected to the computer, and still nothing.
What should I do now?

Sorry about not getting to you on the quick-fast, but we aren't Apple employees.

Why does my ipod touch not automatically sync with itunes

When I connect my ipod touch to my laptop it says that it has sync'd on itunes but does not sync the music that I have downloaded onto my ipod touch!! I am going round in circles with the troubleshooting manual as the page on itunes that I have looks totally different to the page that is described in the manual. My laptop is new and Windows 7 and I have downloaded the latest version of itunes. My ipod touch is new as well. Can anyone help?

Do you have the right boxes checked to sync the media you want to sync?
iTunes 11 for Windows: Syncing overview
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer or se tup via wifi? If so you can only use the manual method and that only works with music and videos.If you want to use this computer as the one syncing computer you need to

Why isn't the movie I bought on my iPod Touch not showing up on iTunes?

I purchased a video while on my iPod Touch one night, but when I got to Sync my iPod, it won't show up in the movies section on iTunes, only on my actual iPod. Is there something that makes it so that purchases on your iPod can't be transfered to iTunes or am I doing something wrong?

Did you try to transfer it by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
It is a purchased video and not a rented video, right? If you have a 4G iPod rentals can't be transfered to the computer.

Ipod touch not showing up in itunes 11.0.1 for windows

my ipod touch is suddenly not recognized by itunes 11.0.1 or by my windows computer. anyone else experiencing this?

I had the same problem, no one would answer me yesterday. I have done the steps in the link lllaas has posted, NUMEROUS times. NOW I Tunes has somehow deleted ANY and ALL music I had transfered over six years from my CD's and only saved the music I purchased. My husbands old wheel style I pod can connect fine, I had to restore mine on my daughters older computer and I did an "update/sync" twice on my computer after restore, but it would NOT restore ANY music on it after I completely restored the Ipod. Now, once again, I Tunes suddenly won't recognize the I pod. It's not a USB cable or hardware problem as all other I pods in the house work fine on same stuff. I am very very angry and can't seem to find a SIMPLE (I am not a computer move it around person) answer or fix that works. As soon as I updated both I Tunes and then tried to update my IPod Touch, all this happened. I can access ITunes on my daughters PC as I did NOT allow the ITunes update. Sadly, we have different libraries and now mine and my hubby's library seems to be mostly GONE! I have a backup but I tried the method to restore it and it won't take it. I am beyond frustrated and keep reading that many of us have the issue but have not seen any answers that actually fix it. There is a bug in ITunes 11 but they won't admit it.
Just wanted to say I have the same issue and hope lllaass fix works for you, after 15 tries, it hasn't yet for me.
