My 2nd gen ipod touch will only sync some of the music selected. How do I get to synch all the music I have selected from i-mac with itunes 11

My ipod touch will only sync some of the music selected. It only wants to sync the newest music and will not sync previous music even though some of these songs were previously on the ipod touch. I am connecting to a imac with itunes 11.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

My 2nd Gen iPod Touch will not SYNC

My iPod is working fine otherwise.
When I plug it into my iMac, Mac OSX Version 10.5.8, it charges but it doesn't show up on my computer or on iTunes. My computer doesn't acknowledge it at all other than to charge it.
I just downloaded the lastest version of iTunes and the same thing happens. I also used Apple's Express help to troubleshoot this issue and nothing changed.
Please help!
Thank you!

Have yuo tried everything here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Do you have another computer to connect it to (do not sync) to help determine if yu have a computer problem or an iPod problem.

My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.

My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes. it tells me it cannot read the contents of the ipod then it says the ipod software server cannot be contacted. Any suggestions?

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Then try restoring again.

I just found out my iPod touch will only sync to one library, what is the difference in technology of the iPod touch and iPod that makes this so?

I just found out in iTunes help that my iPod touch will only sync to one library unlike iPod. What is the difference in technology between the iPod touch and the iPod that makes this so?

You can manage music and videos among different computers/libraries by following these instructions. You can only sync apps and photos from one library.

TS2771 my 4th gen ipod touch will only take charge when its dead which means it will not connect to itunes. recently it got disabled due to the password getting put in wrong to many times. now i cant restore it and i dont know how to fix it. please help!

Hellppppp!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Try another cable and anothen computer if necessary. Also
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My 2nd gen ipod touch will sync to my computer yet my music i just bought will not go onto the ipod

anyone else have this problem if so tell me what you did to fix it

There are no error messages and yes the iPod is signed into the account that the music was purchased from but what happens is I sync my iPod and it tells me all my music is on there, but it is not in the library and if you search one of the purchased songs it shows up on the iPod. And everytime I click on the song that comes up after searching it takes me to my library for about 5 seconds then puts me at the home screen

3rd gen ipod touch will not sync having done so on coutless occassions and now it just does 1 phase of sync

I have a 3rd gen 8gb ipod touch when I try to sync it it goes through phase one of the sync and then says sync complete, changing nothing on the ipod
if I reset my Ipod and it wipes everything off and then it still wont sync I will have a worthlerss ipod no tune or apps on it

I have checked for latest updates but there are none i had the errors wrong they are actually:
"Attempting to copy to the disc "iPod touch" failed. An error occurred while writing to the device."
"iTunes could not copy "song name" to the iPod "iPod name" because an unknown error occurred (-20)."
the strange thing is i am allowed to take things off because i had some voice recordings and they got transferred into iTunes but its just copying onto the device that is the problem i also checked my Anti-Virus software and it hasn't blocked iTunes or anything associated with Apple. i will also check my computer's manufacturing website for updates.

My 2nd gen iPod Touch won't sync with itunes

windows recognizes it- but itunes says "unknown error (0xE8000065)" everytime it's plugged into the USB. I seriously can't figure this one out.
Thank you a ton in advance for any help!

Try the suggestions mentioned here: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting

Help please.... My 3rd gen Ipod Touch will not sync up to Itunes....

It keeps bringing up a window that is recognizing the Ipod as a camera and starting Camera wizard. I followed the troubleshooting steps - I have the updated ITunes version, I have restarted, I have switched USB ports.... The last step is to reinstall Itunes, but I am afraid I will lose all of my recent music that I have uploaded from CDs (& spent hours doing!)

Reinstalling iTunes will not do anything to your music/iTunes library. However, you should always backup your important files.
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
I would remove and reinstall all the Apple software using:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

My 5th Gen iPod Touch will not sync after I updated my iTunes

Right after I updated my iTunes on my PC, it will no longer sync anything. My apps, my music, everything won't sync.
It just says that I can't sync because I need more space (8.30GB to be exact). But before I updated my iTunes, everything was fine. The thing is I want my iTunes and iPod to synchronize with each other without losing anything.
Can someone help me?
Also, my OS is already iOs 7.1

Do you have the right boxes checked to sync? It appears not.

2nd Gen Ipod Touch won't upgrade

Hi, I purchased my 2nd gen Ipod Touch in 2009 and since then I was able to upgrade to 3.1.2. A year ago when I tried to upgrade higher, itunes would take forever to back up. A small loading window appeared and it stayed that way for hours. Itunes crashed.
Yesterday I was able to complete a successful manual backup of my ipod touch using the latest itunes software. This time itunes didn't crash and it lasted 15 hours.
But when I clicked on the upgrade button again, the small window appeared and itunes froze again. Before doing this I also made sure to have 2.3 GB of capacity available and I got rid of my largest apps.
Is it possible to upgrade to 4.0? I have read previous discussions and people don't have a problem with upgrading.
I use Windows XP and I downloaded the latest itunes.

The topic of your referenced article is:
iOS 4: Syncing Notes
A 2G iPOd can go as high as 4.2.1.
For the OP, do you have a 2G iPod? Identify your iPod here:

You will have to restore.

I am upgrading from a 2nd gen ipod touch to a 4th gen ipod touch. Will I have problems syncing my new ipod to my existing itunes library/account?

Don't know why you would.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like.

How to sync contacts to 2nd gen iPod touch?

I have a 2nd gen iPod Touch, and have just moved from MobileMe to iCloud on all of my other devices which are supported. On the iPod Touch I now should be able to sync contacts and calendars only via iTunes, since it will not work with iCloud. All is well with calendar syncing. However, even though I have the appropriate boxes checked in iTunes to sync contacts, I get "no contacts" on the Touch. What might I be doing wrong? Thanks!

Thanks, I had seen that support article. It states that although the Touch will not sync with iCloud, both calendar and contact data will continue to reside locally on the device. In my case this is true, and can sync locally with iTunes, for iCal, but not for contacts.
