My touch won't show up as a device on iTunes

I plugged in my Touch just now and it wouldn't load up iTunes automatically. So I opened it manually and it still wouldn't recognize it. Like it doesn't give me any message or anything at all, it just doesn't show up at all. I have the latest iTunes it says, 7.62 or something. What's going on?

My ipod won't show up as a device on itunes

Every once in a while my ipod (2nd gen) won't show up as a device on itunes. Any thoughts on what might be wrong? I really miss not being able to download my updated pocasts --- the music isn't an issue because I can still listen to whatever I had on there last, but podcasts no way to update...
I've tried different ports for the usb hub, for the usb just the chord, etc.

Well, once again if I had either thought a bit, or read another post or two I would have had an answer
I ended up following the ipod nano (2nd gen) trouble shooting steps --- and voila, it now shows up just fine. So anyone else having this probem with itunes/ipod nano on a mac -- try that first.
There are some other articles about reinstalling apple device service -- sorry don't remember the link -- but thatos for osx 10.6.8 or earlier but I'll bet just resetting your ipod will work most of the time.

Ipod touch no longer showing up as a device in itunes

My ipod touch (4th gen) is no longer visible as a device in iTunes. This is a new development (it was fine the last time I connected my iPod to my PC about three weeks ago). When I plug it into the PC (directly into a PC USB port) the PC beeps (confirming connection) and the device shows up in Windows explorer. But the device is no longer recognized in iTunes (I have version 11.3.0.54). Any help/suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

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:

Iphone 4 is connecting to my computer fine, but won't show up as a device in iTunes?

Hey everyone~
So I just recently got a new iPhone 4 which I was totally stoked about; until I tried to connect it to iTunes.
I have a Windows 8 laptop, and whenever I plug the phone into the USB that's connected to the laptop, it shows as a connected device. It seems to work fine.
But iTunes doesn't even recognize that a device is connected. By this I mean that my phone won't appear in the devices tab next to the iTunes store tab in library.
I'm extremely frustrated after searching through article after article and seeing that nothing is helping. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes countless times, restarted both my laptop and device numerous times, and even tried to see if a firewall was preventing me from connecting but that wasn't the issue.
I've used my older iPhone 3gs PERFECTLY on this laptop before and had no problems, but I just really want music on this phone!
Please help!
Thanks.

Well, I figured it out!
So I finally found out that by completely wiping out any apple software on my laptop, I tried downloading iTunes from FireFox instead of Chrome and it finally worked.
Hope this helps someone else with the same problem as me!

Often, when I connect my iPod Touch to the PC, instead of it showing up as a device in iTunes, a window pops up that says I have connected a camera, and asks what to do. It is really annoying when this happens, because sometimes I cannot update my iPod

Often, when I connect my iPod Touch 2G to the PC, instead of showing up as a device on iTunes, a pop-up appears that says I have connected a camera and asks what I want to do. This device doesn't have a camera in it. When this happens, (not always)I can't update my iPod, no matter how many times I try to connect it. I have an old Nano that has never had this problem at all. Can anyone tell me what to do about this?

My Touch will not show on my desktop or in itunes when connected!

I installed leopard onto my macbook a few weeks ago and updated my itunes about a week ago. Tonight was the first time I plugged my ipod into my computer. Nothing has happened. I've tried using different USB cords and I've restarted both my computer and ipod touch. I've been trying to do some research on how to fix my problem and all I am finding are people with the same problem but there aren't any answers. I saw one person say to force it in idisk. I don't have idisk. Does anyone know of anything that could help me get my touch on my desktop and computer? Please please help.

The iPod Touch does not show up as a Device in the Finder. Only as a Device in iTunes.
Does your version of iTunes support the iPod Touch? Is your Quicktime up to date?

Why won't iPad1 show up as a Device in iTunes when the iPad is Wi-Fi and powered up?

iPad1 is properly designated to be Wi-Fi sync'd to the Windows 7 64.
iPad correctly shows Device in iTunes; and correctly sync's in iTunes when tethered to computer via USB.
No Device listed in iTunes when iPad is on and powered by 10w power cube.
Network connects.
iCloud backup works when Wi-Fi.
iPad USED to be visible to iTunes when on and powered and on Wi-Fi.
Some anti-miracle occured.
Need exorcist.

Thank you for your reply; however I don't believe that your advice fits my circumstance - in that my device (in this case, the iPad) DID show up as a Device in iTunes last week - when connected via Wi-Fi (that is, powered up and on the home network and with iTunes open in the Windows 7 computer).
I was then able to communicate (read: sync) between the iPad and the computer NOT using the USB cable-connect to the computer - merely via Wi-Fi.
I can not repeat that miracle this week (meaning, that I must hook up the iPad1 to the computer via the USB cable, where it does register as a Device in iTunes - and it does go thru the 6 steps of sync.
Did I grossly missinterpret your instructions?
Thank you, in advance, for any additional assistance.
