The latest version of itunes and my IPOD not showing up...

Ok so I updated to the latest version of Itunes last night, now my computer can't detect my Ipod. It was working fine on the previous version of Itunes, I had no issues whatsoever. I've tried everything they've listed in the help menus, it says my Ipod connection status button is red, but there is no reason for it to be.

I've tried all my different usb ports, I've uninstalled itunes, reinstalled it, even tried the previous version I used, now the ipod won't show up period. Windows doesn't detect it either.

Has this happened to anyone else since they updated itunes?
