See:

I would start with

or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

  • IPod touch 4th generation will not sync with iTunes, but shows up in Windows 7 64bit(Acer Aspire laptop)

    Hello all, I am writing this message in the hope that somebody can help me to solve my issue with my iPod touch fourth generation. It has been unable to sync with iTunes, but shows up in windows as the iPod touch. I also had this problem with my older iPods as well (Ipod nano 4th Gen, iPod touch 2nd gen(Batteries done for that one)) I can sync music with iCloud, but I have a bunch of songs that are not in the store, and I sincerely want to add those, alot.
    I've checked the "iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes" with the link here: (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363), and followed that process, but to no avail, it does not solve the problem. I've tried to reset the entire ipod by making it enter DFU mode and then rebooting the entire iPod (shows up in iTunes in temporary mode) but once restored, does not appear in iTunes, but still in Windows detected still as a iPod, looks like the iPod and everything. I also have the most uup-to-date iTunes installed (10.5 I believe, just got it today)
    This is extremely frustrating because that is why I purchased the iPod (and for the games and apps, those are great too). The iPod was also purchased three days ago, and the setup still didn't detect it.  I am not mad at anybody here or the Apple company itself, but I have not found any help online with the browsing option (for support of course).
    Please, I would absolutely love the help, i'd be eternally grateful for it.

    Never mind, turns out that by uninstalling the programs "Megakey" and "Megaupload" it had resolved this issue.

  • My brand new iPod Touch 4th generation will not sync with iTunes on my Windows Vista computer!  Please help!

    I have tried every trick in the book and read every thread on why my version of Windows Vista will not allow me to get at the iTunes Store.  I cannot even get this new iPod Touch to sync with iTunes. 
    I've rebooted, soft restart, hard restart, removed iTunes and re-installed iTunes.  Nada...nothing!
    Does anyone else have the same issue and can they offer me a solution?

  • My iPod Touch and iPad will not sync with iTunes, Windows crashes

    I have done the latest upgrade on software for itunes, upgraded the software on both my ipod touch and ipad and now itunes will not sync.  As soon as it starts the syncing process I get a pop up window (I'm on Windows XP) that says that there's an error and itunes has to shut down.  I ran the diagnostics test and it says there's no error.  Not sure what to do now.

  • Ipod touch 3rd generation does not sync with itunes 12

    I upgraded iTunes to iTunes 12 and now my 3rd generation 64GB iPod Touch does not sync but 8 songs, even though the entire library is checked.  I had removed all songs to reorganize the iPod but afterwards I was no longer able to re-sync the iPod Touch.  A restore from previous was pointless because all the songs had already been removed.  I ended up restoring the iPod Touch to factory settings and I still cannot sync any songs.

    Do the non-syncing songs play in iTunes on the computer?
    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Can you sync apps or photos to the iPod?

  • Ipod Touch 4th Gen will not sync with Itunes 11.1

    I upgraded my Itunes to the latest version, now I can't get Ipod touches to sync that are 4th gen. Any help?

    I FINALLY got it to sync. I had to unplug and restart my computer 3x's then it worked and went like a charm. It was getting to step 2 of 5 in the sync then just freezing. I let it run for 15+ hours the first day.
    I do have to ask though since I have a knowledgable person:
    My son's Ipod touch broke so I bought a refurbished one. How can I change the ID on Itunes or his touch to reflect his Ipod?

  • My ipod touch 2nd generation will not sync my downloaded songs

    My ipod touch 2nd generation will not sync my downloaded songs, does anyone have any help

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?           
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • Ipod touch 3rd generation will not sync to any computers, help

    Ipod touch 3rd generation will not sync to my laptop, tried everything I can think of except getting new usb cable.  Does anybody have any suggestions?

    Well, even bought the usb cable today and that didn't help.  Guy at Best Buy told my son to reset the ipod to the factory settings; so he did and it wiped everything off the ipod and now he still can't get it to hook up to his laptop so no way to get anything back on the ipod.  Don't know what to do know.  Getting frustrated.

  • Nano 1st gen will not sync with itunes

    I dont understand, suddenly my ipod will not sync with the new itunes [the 7.1?] and i cant even restore it, becuase itues does not recogise it.
    I also tried two ways,
    1) with run i tried this services.msc and i made it into a manual option
    2) then i tried to restart the ipod through the computer management option.
    what do u suggest? I dont have the old cd that came with the nano with the old itunes when i didnt have any of these problems.

    Hello
    For some people (that don't have Fifth Generation iPods) in the new iTunes 7 (or 7.1) their iPods aren't recognized, but the new features in iTunes 7 may not be worth it, if you want your iPod to be recognized correctly.
    If you think you'd like to go back to the old iTunes, then you can download iTunes 6.0.5 from Apple's website here -> iTunes 6.0.5 for Windows download (here is the original web page; look on the right panel to download).
    So, if you don't have the installation CD, you can simply download it from the link above.
    I hope this helps you!
