I had this problem after installing iTunes4.8, tried everything I could thing of: formatting, factory reset, new firmware.

Rebooted PC in frustration and it just started working, not entirely sure how, but it may have something to do with "iPodService.exe" in Windows Task Manager.

I think when you install the new iTunes it stops the servive running and doesn't start properly until you reboot.

And also if you are connecting by USB, do not use the ports (if any) located on the front of your system, don't know why, Apple Support told me not to when I had to call with regards to another matter.

All of the above may be absolutely useless to you, but hopefully it may help.
