Ipod Touch Wont Sync to Itunes

Hey, so my ipod touch hasnt worked right with itunes for a while now, ive done a lot of things trying to get it to work but heres the issue. When i plug in my itouch, itunes doesnt do anything. Ive made sure the sync automatically setting is on, but that changes nothing. It doesnt even recognize my itouch, when i look to the sidebar on itunes it doesnt say "*insert name* ipod. So naturally the first thing i tried doing was using the itunes troubleshooter, but the instance i press the next button to start the process, it freezes itunes, which stops responding and closes. So next i tried to reinstall itunes. This actually does solve my issue, as when i put the ipod in immediately after it does sync, however the very next day it will not work again. I dont feel like reinstalling itunes every night to sync it. So now ive been looking on the internet for solutions, ive done many things that havent helped at all, i did all the things that the apple website says to do, and it didnt work still. Right now i really dont know who else to ask.

I had a similar problem to this and found out my mobile device service had not started properly. I found the following apple link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567 for restarting the service useful and my problem now seems to have disappeared.

IPod touch wont sync with iTunes. Weird errors!

Anytime I try to sync anything to my iPod touch, I get one of the following error messages;
1.)Attempting to copy to the disk “Duncan’s iPod” failed. There are too many files open currently.
2.)The iPod “Duncan’s iPod cannot be synced. An internal device error occurred.
3.)iTunes could not copy “a song of mine” to the iPod “Duncan’s iPod” because an unknown error occurred [-42].
4.)The iPod “Duncan’s iPod” cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found.
5.)The app “various apps” could not be installed on the iPod “Duncan’s iPod” because an unknown error occurred (0xE8008001).
Most of the time, it's either the first or second error, but it changes pretty much every time.
I have tried restoring my iPod (that didn't work), erasing all content and settings on my iPod (that didn't work), even uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes (that didn't work, either!).
Any help, any help AT ALL would be appreciated.

by the looks of thing from what the second person said about using it on other computers it looks like it could be the version of itunes because there was a simuler problem when they brought the first itunes 10.1 out people had problems every where i have the same problem at the moment but i might have a temp fix to it till they fix this but wich is uninstalling itunes and installing an older virsion from filehippo.com hope this helps you i am going to give it a try my self

So every time i try to sync my ipod touch i get this error message
Attempting to copy to the disk "iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
i recently updated to software update 2.1 and ever since then i cant sync my music
What do i do?

Your profile states Mac OS X (10.4.8) - is that correct? If so, that's most likely your problem - the iPod Touch requires at least 10.4.10.

Hello Casey B,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try re-installing the latest version from this page on top of the current installed version and see if that helps.

If nothing else, remove the Application from your Mac entirely, and again download the latest version from the link above.

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

Song and tv show purchased on ipod touch wont sync to mac itunes

The ipod touch generated a -50 and -3203 error in itunes during the sync process and now all purchases wouldn't play without a restore and items purchased and downloaded directly to the ipod touch are gone after a restore. The ipod touch can't be mounted as a disk so if the first time after a purchase or multiple purchases (like in my case) are made on the ipod and you get a sync error your purchases are gone for good with no way to make a backup! (Note; Apple iTunes doesn't allow a second downloads--Policy!) This will definitely be the last time I purchase any items from the itunes store directly on an ipod or my apple TV, and I will make it a policy of my own to make a backup copy after any future purchases. I had been hesitant for years to buy any songs from the itunes store now my fear has been realized I have bought a song I no longer have access to. Ironically it is Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy" --That is just too good! I am gonna go buy the cd at walmart this weekend instead of an itunes card.

If you contact Apple and ask nicely (i.e. don't rant at them) explain the problem, you will find that they will most likely let you download the items again.
In my experience they have allowed people to download when there have been issues (like me for example, never been refused yet).
Use the form below :
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html?form=download&topic=Downloading %20iTunes%20Store%20Purchases&subtopic=Download%20errors
Or log in to your account in iTunes, view your Purchase History and use the Report a Problem link.
