New version itunes (Dec 2012) won't recognize my ipod touch.

Since installing new itunes on computer, the program won't recognize my ipod. It does recognize my daughter's iphone. I've gone through several troubleshooting lists, restarting devices and doing everything recommended. I did a tutorial to help me recognize the new features and the one that's supposed to be there for my device just isn't.
Help?

I've had the same problem. Go in and unplug all devices.Go to Control panel> Uninstall programs> Uninstall all programs accotiated with Mac ****If you are Windows**** (Itunes,Itunes update,Ipod touble shoot). Just go into list a separt by Developer and click on each and uninstall each by apple/ Macintosh, what ever yours says. Restart Download the newest version of itunes then. It should work.
P.S. Where are you from? ( What state?)

Well, now I feel like an idiot. I was using TWO CORDS. Ya, don't make my mistake. The one I had a problem with was made by a company that was not apple, and it was for CHARGING. I bought it with charger, and that's all it can do. It doesn't send data like the real cable. So, check your usb cables. :S

Itunes 9.1 does not recognize my ipod touch

I have pc, windows 7 32bit cpu. itunes 9.1 doesn not recognize my new ipod touch. I want to down load my music from my computer to my ipod

You need iTunes 10 to work with any recent iPod touch, and iTunes 10.5 to work with one that has iOS 5, so you need to upgrade your version of iTunes.

ITunes won't recognize my iPod Touch 2G

I bought a used iPod Touch 2G. Everthing seems to be working with the iPod but my iTunes V11.1.5.5 won't recognize it when I plug it in. I am using a laptop with Windows 8. In File Explorer it shows 'Apple iPod' under 'This PC'. I have gone to Services under Computer Management and restarted the Apple Mobile Device to no avail. Drivers are up to date.
Thank you for the help

ITunes 9.1 won't recognize my iPod.

I only use my classic iPod for mp3 music files ... no artwork, pictures, TV, radio, or ANYTHING other than my music. It worked fine for 3 years, but now, I plug-in my iPod and nothing happens. iTunes doesn't see it. I've taken all my hardware to an APPLE store and verified that eveything works well, but iTunes still won't see it. What a piece of crap this has turned out to be. I tried older versions of iTunes, but they won't execute because a file "iTunes Library.itl" was created by an updated version. Don't know what to do next. As a programmer, our top priority was to make new versions of our software BACKWARD COMPATIBLE ... no excuses, it HAD to work or else. Version 9 doesn't work backward.

I had the same problem. After reading some other posts I found the solution for now is removing itunes 9 and reinstalling iTunes 8.2.1 for G3. Open applications, remove the itunes app, also remove it from your dock. Open Finder, click Music, open itunes folder and move album artwork folder and itunes music folder to your desktop, delete all other files, librarygenius.itdb, library extras.itdb, music library.xml, and itunes library by moving them to trash and emptying. Don't worry once you download 8.2.1 for G3, http://support.apple.com/kb/DL857, and install it they will reappear. Reinstall 8.2.1, when install is done, open Itunes, go to Preferences, click the Advanced tab and uncheck "copy files when adding to itunes music folder". Now, open Music in Finder, open itunes and take your album artwork folder and itunes music folder from your desktop and place them back in the itunes folder in Music. Go to itunes, file, add to library and add the itunes music folder and your music will upload without creating duplicates. Once the adding is complete, lastly connect your Ipod and it should appear. Hopefully, this isn't difficult for you to understand but it worked for me.
Just a side note and this might not be necessary but I did it anyway; I opened up Finder and searched for any file that was connected to itunes and removed them all except for my artwork folder and itunes music folder. I tried uninstalling 9 and reinstalling 8.2.1 the way it is suggested in previous post and after I completed the process and I went to open up itunes, I got the error message "could not open because itunes was installed with a newer version". That is when I decided I will clean my mac of any files related to itunes, except for artwork and music, download 8.2.1, do a completely new install. Good luck.

ITunes won't recognize my iPod touch after a failed update--my iPod is stuck on the "plug into itunes" screen

Yesterday, I had bought myself an ipod touch and it was working just fine until today when I went along with an itunes prompt to update my ipod. It failed to update and now won't recognize it, I checked to see if it was recognized by my computer--and it is, but a thing pops up that says "access denied" whenever I try to click on it. The screen on my ipod is stuck wanting me to connect to itunes.

You may need to try this More than Once...
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work

Itunes on my Macbook (circa 2008) won't recognize newest ipod touch softwar

I have a macbook from April of 2008 which has the latest version of itunes 10.10.01. I have apps that i've purchased from the itunes store (including a $20 german-english translator that i DESPERATELY need for class). I recently restored my ipod to factory settings because I was experiencing issues with it charging properly.
Now i've had the german app for over a year before the restore and it worked just fine. But now my computer and itunes keeps telling me that the app needs the latest version of ipod touch software in order to sync the app. When I click "check for updates" on the ipod screen it claims that my ipod touch software is up to date - but lists it as 2.2.1!!
I know that the lastest version of ipod software is MUCH later than 2.2.1 but I can't seem to convince my itunes of this. Someone help me out please! I've done everything I can think of but my itunes is up to date and i NEED the app.
Much appreciated!!

As mentioned by IIIaass, connect to iTunes and check for updates for your ipod, see how to here: http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/software-update/
If iTunes says that 2.2.1 is the latest software for your ipod, this may imply that iTunes recognizes your ipod as 1st generation ipod. See also this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052 and try if you can update to iOS3.1

Itunes won't recognize my ipod touch

i've recently bought a new laptop with windows 7 64-bit. when I installed the itunes for 64bit to my computer and tried to synchronize it with my ipod, nothing appeared
I figure it out that this computer somehow recognize my ipod as a digital camera.
so i surfed throught the web to find the solution for this another itunes error
i figured out that going into device manager and updating the apple ipod will fix this problem.
so i did following: right-click 'apple ipod', -> click 'browse my computer for driver software', -> click 'let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer' -> click 'have disk' (in the model box, it says "MTP USB device"), and then it told me to insert the disk, so i browse through my computer and found "usbaapl64" in inf format which is what i need, so i clicked open then ok, but this thing appears that says "the folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with windows for x64-based systems."
im literally panicing.
i tried reinstalling the itunes, repairing it put it doesnt do anything.
i know i downloaded the itunes for 64bit users and that i opened usbaapl file with '64' at the end.
please help me, i really need to synchronize my ipod

Windows 7 & iTunes 10.1 won't recognize my iPod (4.1 + MB533BT)

My computer (Windows 7 64 bit) doesn't recognize my iPod. And neither does my iTunes. When I connect my iPod, the iPod charges but my PC doesn't recognize it.
I've tried uninstalling and installing iTunes at least 3 times and also restarted my PC in the process. After uninstalling iTunes, I even deleted my iTunes & iPod folder (under Program Files).
I've gone into Services and stopped/started Apple Mobile Device & iPod Service and reconnected my iPod.
I've restarted my iPod and reset its settings.
I've tried updating its driver.
I've checked the USB connections under Device Manager. (The iPod charges but doesn't connect.)
I've changed the USB cable.
I really don't know what else to do. Any ideas? Anyone?

Have you tried everything here?
