Brand new ipod touch won't sync. windows uses MTP driver, not ipod driver.

The apple usb driver is installed correctly, but under the portable devices in the device manager it shows ipod touch, but when you check the driver it using the microsoft MTP driver, the driver is dated 2006 and the manufacturer is microsoft. I can't locate the ipod driver to manually update. and i have reinstalled iTunes 3 times and reset 3 times. it still won't recognize my ipod. what do i do?

    - Have you tried a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - NextI would restore from backup.

  • My daughters iPod touch won't sync, says apps aren't recognized, nothing syncs though

    iPod touch won't sync at all. Only message is that some apps aren't recognized.  If I reset, will it sync? Or will she have a blank iPod because the "apps aren't recognized"?

    Use the communities search box in the upper right of this page and searc for: "the apps can't be determined". Use the quote makes and make sure the wording matches what the error message says.
    You will then find the previous discussions with the same error.  I do not remember the solution.

  • Brand new iPod touch won't sync:

    My girlfriend got a 8GB iPod touch for Christmas. I just plugged it into her Vaio (Windows 7) laptop to sync her iTunes (which is the latest version). The first time it froze some 4 songs into the sync. The whole computer was frozen & I had to force it to restart. Long story short, I went through this process numerous times, each time doing a complete reset on her iPod & starting from fresh every time on the iTunes sync. However, every single time, it freezes at a certain point of the sync process.
    I am assuming this is a hardware issue, since I also have a brand new 64GB touch syncing as we speak on my desktop computer.
    Anybody else having this problem & have a solution?

    I'm getting the same problem. I thought it was something that went wrong during downloading, so I was going to try and re-download the songs. I don't know if that'll work though.

  • IPod Touch won't sync after restore

    iPod Touch, 1st gen., system software 3.1.3
    I know this is an old device and there probably aren’t many people still using OS 3.1.3 but this is what I’ve got.  All was working reasonably well before I performed a restore, hoping to remedy some slowness.  However, since reloading both software and contents, I continually get the following message while performing a sync: “The iPod “Laurent Fignon” cannot be synced.  The required file cannot be found.”  While podcasts are updated, photo albums will not load before that message appears and the sync ends.  I’ve tried the restore a couple of times since, thinking that might help but I continue to see the same message when trying to sync.
    Rest of the platform is MacBook Pro 4.1, OS 10.6.8, iTunes 10.6.3

    Thanks for the suggestions so far.
    After trying a couple of less labor intensive suggestions, I downloaded and reinstalled iTunes.  Performed a reboot.  Started iTunes.  Tried to sync the iPod Touch.  Still stopped mid-way through with the same message - "The Pod cannot be synced.  The required file cannot be  found."  As the sync had been quitting at the point where it said it was installing photos, I unchecked the "Sync Photos From" button and tried to sync again.  This time the sync finished successfully.  However, I'd like the photos from the album "iPod Touch" in my iPhoto library to be on the iPod Touch.  It is listed as an album in iPhoto and I can view the pics there but iTunes apparently can't find them.  There is no folder in user/Pictures/ called "iPod Touch".  I don't think I can open the iPhoto Library file.  Anyone have another idea?

  • New Ipod touch won't sync with window's vista/itunes 9.2 - help!!

    I charged my brand new ipod touch via my computer, have it plugged it into my computer's USB port, and Itunes acknowledges the device in the left hand menu BUT it automatically says "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. The network connection has timed out". The ipod will not sync with my itunes! I tried connection/disconnecting, turning the ipod on and off, and restarting the computer. No luck. What do I need to do? Please help, I was so excited to get the new ipod and now I can't use it! I have window's vista and I don't know anything about how to check or change computer settings that might be preventing the store from opening (it used to open, but I haven't tried in a while and I just downloaded version 9.2 today).

  • My new iPod touch won't sync?

    I got a brand new iPod touch today for Christmas, and got it all set up and everything was working perfectly. About an hour ago though I went to add more photos to the album I have synced to my iPod. When I plugged the iPod in it said "Waiting for sync to start" up at the top for about 5 minutes, then a screen popped up that said, "Amy's iPod cannot be synced because the sync session won't start" or something to that effect. No biggy I thought, I googled how to fix it and a discussion on here suggested a backup and restore. Now sense I've done that, all my music is off my iPod and I can't put any songs on because it won't sync. Can anyone help me fix this problem? Thanks in advance!!

    Something similar to this?

  • New ipod touch won't sync with my iTunes

    I am old time iTunes user who just got new Ipod touch. It starts to sync but at last step message is "Waiting for next stage" or something and it won't sync.  I tried everything I can think of. I have lastes iTunes version. My old ipod still updates and syncs works fine.

  • New iPod Touch won't sync with iTunes as iTunes hangs

    Hello,
    I got a new iPod Touch yesterday after my old iPod Video died. Brought it home, connected it and all seemed fine until iTunes (that had worked flawlessly for years) just stopped (app stops responding).
    I can kill the app and restart and it just starts over again, but never gets all the way thru sync.
    I looked for a newer version but says I've got the latest.
    Any suggestions? Don't suppose I can sync via WiFi?
    thanks,
    Chris

    Hey Chris, I got this off iPhonenano.net
    Occasionally your iPhone or iPod touch starts syncing when you connected it to your Mac only to drop out of the sync process. Even worse, once the cycle stops, it continues every time you plug your handheld in. This fix is fairly easy, but you won't find it in iTunes. You'll know know if you are suffering from this little headache because your iPhone or iPod touch will begin the sync process, but stops unexpectedly. iTunes will display a dialog warning you that your handheld stopped communicating and the sync process was cancelled. Here's how to break the cycle so and sync as normal again:
    Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your Mac/Pc
    After the sync process fails, launch iSync. You can find it in your Applications folder.
    Select iSync > Preferences.
    Click the Reset Sync History button.
    iSync will display a dialog explaining what happens when you reset the sync history. Go ahead and click the second Reset Sync History button.
    Quit iSync.
    Now you should be able to sync your iPhone or iPod touch again without any hassles. Since your sync history has been reset, your first post-rest sync may take longer than you expect. Depending on how much information is stored on your handheld, that could be a few extra seconds or several minutes.
    Hope this helps,
    Arnie

  • New iPod Touch, won't sync purchased songs from iTunes library on new "authorized" laptop.

    I must have missed a step.  My old windows laptop died.  Tried syncing iTunes library from old laptop to new iPod touch.  Didn't work.  Downloaded iTunes to new windows laptop.  Logged into iTunes from new laptop and Authorized new windows laptop.  Uploaded a few CDs into new laptop's iTunes library.  Old purchased songs appeared on new laptop, however only uploaded songs from CDs will sync to new iPod touch. 
    Help!

  • IPod Touch won't sync/edit song information Windows 7 64

    I've experienced multiple problems after connecting my new Touch to my laptop. First, I think my computer was attempting to sync to the device, but my Touch remained unresponsive. I found that I was able to get the two to sync to each other if I disconnected my wireless mouse that was plugged into one of my usb ports while the sync was occurring. After getting past that first obstacle, I found that at some times, I would be able to sync music to my device through iTunes, but at the moment, I can't do so. After managing to place a few songs on the device, I attempted to change the information to a some tracks and change the album art, but after trying to apply these changes, I received a message saying that an unknown error had occurred (0xe8004006). I've spent the better part of two days scouring the internet to find a solution, but I've found nothing definitive. I've found suggestions that it could be something regarding the computer's usb. I've tried reinstalling iTunes, restoring my Touch (when that decides to work), updating my usb drivers, disabling usb enhanced host controller (as was suggested while I looked for a solution), and probably a few other things. But like I said, I've found nothing definitive. Any help would be appreciated.

    Having the exact same issue as the OP....really frustrating. I'm also using win7 64bit. I have tried reinstalling iTunes as well as resetting my iTouch back to factory.
    Whenever I try to sync my iTouch or add music I get errors such as:
    1) "Attempting to copy to the disk "My iTouch" failed. A duplicate filename was specified."
    2) "iTunes could not copy "[insert song title]" to the iPod "My iTouch" because an unknown error occured (-48)."
    3) "The iPod "My iTouch" could not be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
    4) "The iPod "My iTouch" cannot be synced. An internal device error has occurred."
    It seems as if all of these issues are related to people using 64bit win7. Any insight on how soon until this problem is fixed or alternative methods to add music to my brand new 32g iTouch would be much appreciated.
