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.

Why windows 8 does not recognize ipod touch model A1367 4th Generation?

Why window 8 does not recognize ipod touch model A1367 4th generation? and of course iTunes either.

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
(it applies to win 8)
Run this to help if it identifies the cause

Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?

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.)

Windows does not recognize ipod nano

i cannot get windows (or itunes) to recongize my ipod nano. once in connect the ipod, i get the 'do not disconnect' message indefinately. it used to work. it reinstalled itunes, reset my ipod, etc. any suggestions?

thanks, but the troubleshooter assumes windows is recognizing the ipod. in my case it is not. i download itune 7.0 just in case. same problem exists. in fact, since windows does not recognize the ipod, itunes eventually freezes up.

Windows does not recognize ipod whatsoever

This is so frustrating.
I just bought a new ipod video after giving up on my old ipod.
Windows does not recognize the new ipod at all, not even as an extra drive. I'm tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything, restoring the ipod, connecting to different ports. No such luck. I've read up on the past posts concerning this problem with no luck.
Can anyone help me?

here's a bit here's what microsotft says:
To resolve this problem, delete the UpperFilters registry value and the LowerFilters registry value. These values may cause access problems. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit , and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the UpperFilters registry value. This value is located in the following registry subkey:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E980-E325 11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
3. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
4. Locate and then click the LowerFilters registry value. This value is located in the following registry subkey:
HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10 318}
5. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click OK.
6. Exit Registry Editor.
7. Restart the computer.
it worked perfectly for me!make sure to follow the directions. it's easy and resolves many Windows XP problems related to ipods. for more info try microsoft help and support and just serch for ipod. it list a bit more info there. it doesn't say anything about reinstalling the apple software, but just to be thorough i unistalled itunes and quicktime before anything just to start with a clean slate, then reinstalled them from my ipod disk after the restart. then i downloaded all the updates from apple. my ipod has never worked better. good luck. theres no link to the page just search for ipod in windows help and support for exact wording

Windows does not recognize ipod nano, but it charges

Hey. If I plug my ipod into my laptop and computer, it does not recognize my ipod. It pops up a message that says that a unrecognizable usb device has been plugged in. It has, however, worked in the past. The ipod charges, but I'm not able to use it as a flash drive or to upload music or anything like that. What can I do to fix this?

Thanks for the link. It didn't solve the issue on my mother in law's desktop, but it did contain a link to another solution for desktops (and for laptops not helped by the link you provided).
The link reads: "If you don't have a PC laptop or the steps above did not help, see this document for more information."
Essentially, putting the iPod into disc mode caused it to be recognized by XP and all was well.
Anyway, your help is much appreciated as it's particularly difficult for me to work in the Windows enviroment since I so rarely do it.

Windows does not show Ipod touch

when I connect to computer, it does not recognize the ipod touch

Thanks f/ this info, bobjbkln. Your remark, it's snide tone notwithstanding, reminded me I shouldn't be looking f/ the iPod in the Explorer, but rather in the Device Manager. In the Device Manager it IS recognized as a connected Portable Device.
That recognition does not address my additional issue w/ iTunes not starting up automatically when the device is connected, however. Likewise, if the device is connected when the computer is booted, iTunes does not automatically start up. Can you help me figure out why that is happening?
Thanks! Looking forward to your suggestion(s). Will appreciate your response having a kinder tone.

ITune 9.1.1 (12) does not recognize iPod Touch

I tried to add new music onto my iPod touch today, and found that iTunes did not recognize my iPod. I even used three different USB cords to connect. I cannot update to a new version of iTunes because my OS is so old (I am waiting for the summer 2011 release of Lion).
My iPod turns on when it is plugged in to my computer, but does not charge or initiate iTunes to open. It worked fine one month ago! What can I do to resolve this?

It says 9.1.1(11) -- and the update check says it's there are no updates for me.
Looking through the drivers that are associated with the iPod, I get:
\system32\drivers\WpdMtpDr.dll
\system32\drivers\WpdUSB.dll
\system32\drivers\WUDFRd.sys
\system32\WpdConns.dll
\system32\WpdMtp.dll
\system32\WpdMtpUS.dll
No USBaApl.sys at all.
An attempt to auto-update the driver and by manually pointing to the \system32\drivers\ directory yields:
Best driver already installed -- Digital Still Camera
Without an .inf file to easily associate to the iPod, it's hard to choose which of the device drivers to force the usbaaple.sys to the iPod -- I can't choose .sys files, only .infs.
Of the device types:
(Standard MTP-Compliant Device)
--Kodak DC4800 Zoom Digital Camera

--Kodak Digital Camera
--Kodak Digital Camera

--MTP Device Version: 6.0.6000.18000 [6/21/2006]
(Standard MTP-compliant devices)
--Digital Still Camera *What Vista thinks the iPod is
--Digital Still Camera
--MTP Device
--MTP Device
--MTP IP Device
--MTP IP Device
(Standard Windows Mobile device)
--Windows Mobile device
(WPD file system device)
--Microsoft WPD FileSystem Volume Driver
Outside of the Kodak drivers, I've no idea which one would be best suited for the iPod, and I suspect none of them will work. I should note, the iTunes did recognize the iPod at some point. Thankfully, I only sync'ed to the iPod instead of maintaining a portion of my library on the iPod Touch (I lost some tracks on an iPod Mini when slipped off the jack and hit the ground, crashing the hard drive); I don't have any photos or videos on it.

ITunes 9 does not recognize iPod Touch (1st Gen); Vista does -- as a ...

...Still Digital Camera, complete with a DCIM folder.
Upon USB hookup, Vista popups up a new window with the directory My Computer\Apple iPod\ , with the sub-directories of Internal Storage\DCIM. Free space and Used space are both 0 bytes.
Additionally, the attempt to reset the iPod failed, as Vista claims that recovery mode for the iPod is not supported.

Reinstalled Itunes for Windows will not recognize ipod touch 3rd generation.

Itunes for Windows and PC will not recognize my ipod touch 3rd generation. Also it will not fully charge using a brand new apple brand power adapter and cable. I have already uninstalled all Apple software on PC and reinstalled. I've tried every step suggested by Apple online iPod touch Troubleshooting Assistant.

the best thing i think you could do is go to an apple store or uninstall itunes and reinstall it one more time and see what happens
