Ipod 4th gen touch wont sync right

Ive had this ipod for about a year, and a few months ago it stopped syncing right. What usually happens is this:
1: i press sync as would be expected of someone endevouring to sync ones ipod.
2:it starts the sync, which usually last about 20 seconds.
3: ill go to my music or photos and NOTHING has changed.
It syncs, but doesnt do ant chages at all, as if i never synced. anybody else have this problem? if so, any fixes? Ive already restored, it sybced every thing i had befor eback on it, but when i went to resync and change and add music it wouldn't.
Im on windows 7 btw.

If the sync process stops right at step one, which is backing up, iTunes can't read the latest backup in order to replace it with the new one.
You'll have to delete the latest backup in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices to make iTunes create a new backup instead of replacing an old one.
Did you check your restriction settings on the ipod in Settings/General/Restrictions if there are any restrictions set?
Did you check your security software settings? iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues

Will not download new music onto iphone or libary!

I just got a new computer(hp). I downloaded Itunes and switched over my music. Now I tried adding new music into Itunes and it will not let me. Also will not let me add new music to my iphone? PLease help thank you!

Perhaps the settings have changed, it has been known to happen ("by itself") when iTunes is updated!
Connect your iPod to iTunes and check the Device/Music pane. Typically, the *Sync Music* box should have a tick in it and the *Entire Music Library* radio button should be selected (it will have a "spot" inside). In addition, the songs in your library need to have a tick in their box too.
If any other option is selected, then that's probably why the new songs have not been imported to your iPod. If you change any of these settings now, you need to Sync again after the changes for them to take eefect.

You are only as young as you feel......
This is an example of how you can select the exact content that you want to sync to your device. You do not have to sync the entire iTunes library. You can pick and choose the music, apps, books and so on that you want to sync. This is using music as an example.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on only the albums or playlists that you want to sync.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
You can do this with apps, books, movies .... Whatever .... You have the freedom to sync whatever you want.

I purchased a song on my iMac on iTunes and it plays on that but won't play on my macbook even though both computers are authorized under the same iTunes account. how do I fix this?

I purchased a song on my iMac on iTunes and it plays on that but won't play on my macbook even though both computers are authorized under the same iTunes account. It says that i have to authorize my macbook and sign into iTunes, but then says its already authorized. How do I fix this?

Hi stuartbonk,
Welcome to the Support Communities! Here are some steps you can try if you keep getting asked to authorize your MacBook for iTunes:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203160
If you authorize your computer to play your iTunes Store purchases, but you can't play them and iTunes keeps prompting you to authorize, try these suggestions.
Authorize your purchases from an administrator account
To authorize your purchases from an administrator account, follow these steps:
Log in to the administrator account.
Note: If you don't have access to an administrator password, you'll need to contact the administrator of this computer. If this is a work computer, this may be your IT department.
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed. You can download the latest version free.
Choose Store > Authorize Computer.
Enter your iTunes account name and password.
Note: If you have multiple accounts, you'll need to log in to the iTunes Store and authorize each account separately.
Quit iTunes.
After you've authorized your computer on your administrator account, you'll need to log out and log back in to the user account you'd like to play your purchases from. Once you're logged back in, simply open iTunes, select an iTunes Store purchase in your library, and click Play. The item should begin to play.Authorize using the correct account name
The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.Remove the SC Info folderIf you're still unable to authorize your computer to play your purchases, you may be able to resolve your issue by removing the "SC Info" folder. To do so, follow these steps:
OS X
Quit iTunes and any other open applications until only Finder is open.
Choose Go > Go to Folder.
Type /Users/Shared/SC Info and click Go.
If Finder is not already set to column view, set it by choosing View > as Columns.
Select the SC Info folder and move it to the Trash by choosing File > Move to Trash.
Restart the computer and open iTunes.
Authorize your computer to play your purchases. Note: If you have multiple accounts you'll need to authorize your computer for each account. For more information on how to authorize your computer, see this article.

My iPod 4th Gen will not sync Mp3s.

My iPod 4th gen won't allow mp3 files to be dragged into the bar and downloaded. I am using iTunes without signing to the same apple ID that the iPod is on, so maybe that has something to do with it, but my family member's iPod of the same generation works with the same circumstances. Please help.

Problem solved. First I deleted synce back up, then deletedl sync history under preferences in iTunes. Next, I went into the settings area of my iPod. I renamed it with it's same name (in my case, Dominic's iPod). I then rebooted the computer (Win 7). When I logged into windows, it started syncing instantaneously.

Download new music onto ipod registered to other user

Hi-
I was given an old ipod from an acquaintance because he was upgrading to video. I wanted to download some of my own music onto it- I realized that this could erase the entire contents, but that was ok. When I first connected it to the computer it recognized the ipod, but when I downloaded itunes it is now not recognized by the computer or itunes, and now won't turn on at all. I am afraid it is toast...is there a way to reformat it to be my ipod, or is this a security function? Thanks- I am new to this.

There are some things you can try in order to get the iPod recognized.
However, you haven't given us any computer info and the steps to take are different for Windows users or Mac users.
Without this info, it's almost impossible to give any meaningful help.
