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
