I am having the same problem!!! For a while, I was able to boot up, disable antivirus, let iphone sync with PC, then open itunes, but that trick doesn't work anymore. ***. Why can't Apple fix this crap.! Make me want to return the phone.

OK so i am in the exact same boat as you guys.....I also upgraded to the "latest and greatest" and got stuck with a version of iTunes that wont see my iPod Touch...I have tried

uninstall then reinstall
disconnecting internet cable before plugging ipod in (saw tht somewhere,,not to much hope)
Going into msconfig and shutting down all possible conflicts
Turning off any and all antivirus, internet filtering, and firewall software
Putting iPod in DFU mode
Restoring on other computer than connecting
Reseting ipod

I am completely at a loss and would love to use my iPod again

I am really hoping apple will fix this before i give up....
