My iTunes on my PC does not recognize iPod & automatically rejects it. HELP

I recently downloaded the iTunes update 9.0.2 & now when I try to sync my iPod to iTunes, it connects & then ejects automatically. The iPod is not recognized in iTunes.
I went to the Apple store where "the genius" couldn't solve the problem.
He connected it to kg mb, kg usb cable, ran disc facility, checked in system
profiler which was detected by USB ports & HDD. He reset the iPod & put it into disc mode but this failed to solve the problem. It still wouldn't sync
on my PC.
He proposed restoring my iPod which would wipe out all of my 11,000 songs. He said there's no guarantee that restoring the iPod would solve the syncing problem. In other words, I now have a functioning iPod with 11,000 songs that WON'T sync where if I restore it I might end up with a blank (no songs) iPod that won't sync & whose only use will be that of a paperweight. One of the other Apple employees (non-genius) said that would be an unlikely scenario but I don't want to take the chance..
ANY HELP or OPTIONS will be vastly appreciated!!

I was wondering if you managed to resolve this issue?
I'm having the exact same problem. I can charge my ipod with my lighter adapter in my car but no itunes on anyones computer will recognize it.
Thanks for any help!

    After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
    Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

  • Brand new Ipod touch bought yesterday - Screen is frozen with an itunes emblem and cable. Unable to refresh or restore ipod. Computer and itunes does not recognize ipod.

    This is first Ipod for me  - I have had less than one day. Screen is frozen with itunes emblem and cable. Unable to refresh/restore or do anything with ipod. I turn off/on and get the same frozen screen. My computer does not recognize ipod. Itunes does not recognize ipod so I cannot restore.... Should I take this ipod back and get a new one? Is this normal?

    Before you can use the iPod you have to activate it by connecting it to a computer with iTunes.  Try the following to get your computer to see the iPod so you can activate the iPod.

    Have you updated iTunes with the absolute latest software?  If you have not in a long time, your iPad won't be recognized.

  • Upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 and now iTunes does not recognize iPod

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 and now iTunes does not recognize iPod. The iPod says "Do Not Disconnect" but the device is not listed in iTunes so it will not sync.

    Hey, we are having exactly the same problem! My old ipod died a slow death so I bought a new nano 16gb 4th gen and I can't use it as itunes isn't recognising any ipod being plugged into it. I've been through the whole support database and every USB port is working on the laptop, so I know the computer is recognising its there its just itunes itself - even removed and downloaded it again but no change! If anybody has any ideas what is going on please let me know!!!!

  • Itunes 11.1.5 does not recognize the switch to 64 bit mode from 32... won't open

    itunes 11.1.5 does not recognize the switch to 64 bit mode from 32... won't open

    Is there some background story to this that might give us some clue?  An error message quoted exactly? Did you just do an update?
    Try starting iTunes with the shift key held down.  If it starts it is probably some old plugin presenting problems.

  • ITunes in Windows PC only launches at reboot does not recognize iPod touch

    I have had this problem for sometime, but have lived with it. I have my iPod touch 1G connected to a Windows XP PC for syncing charging etc. If I unplug the iPod touch and use it for a while not connected to the PC and then plug in into the USB port, iTunes does not recognize the touch and I have to do a complete reboot of the windows PC. Is there a work around for this problem?

    Is windows freezing for you undr those circumstances, or is something a bit different going on? (If you're getting an error message, let us know what it says.)

    Hello Hilda Louise
    Start with the article below to get your iPhone to be recognized in iTunes again. Then you will probably need to restore it to get it back up and running.
