My link, above, specifically tells you what to do when your iPod is NOT shown under devices, so your statement that you've "had a look at the Apple website but it talks about locating it under devices in Itunes . . . " doesn't seem to relate to the information I've provided.
Follow all of the steps on that page (i.e. update iTunes, restart the iPod service, remove and reinstall iTunes, etc, etc) until you reach the point where your iPod is again recognised. (Clicking on each of those instructions opens up full details of what you need to do).

1. Reset or restore your iPod for a try, this can fix many general iPod problems.
2. You may try this iTunes alternative, I always use it to upload music and video to my iPod once my iTunes can't recognize my iPod, my friends recommend it to me, it's safe and works pretty well, you can also use it to copy music and video from ipod to computer for backup, it's useful when you lost your iTunes library.

3. Update your iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod. I got this method from Apple technical support. Hope it helps. Contact me if you have any other question.
