iPod Touch will not appear in iTunes

[EricJD]

I've had my 2nd gen iPod touch for a few months now, but now it's not appearing in iTunes. It shows up fine in the USB tree in System Profiler, and even displays my screenshots in iPhoto when I plug it in, but it does not show up in iTunes at all. Any ideas on what could be wrong?

DFU mode connect to itunes then hold home+sleep buttons for exactly 10secs and then release the sleep button but keep holding the home button until itunes tells you it has found any ipod in DFU Mode

I have already tried that. When I put it into DFU mode, it shows up on the Mac but gives me an error when I try to restore it. It does, however, restore properly in DFU mode on Windows.

That may be my last resort...
