My computer will not let me sync my ipod touch
I just purchased a new computer about three months ago with windows 7 ultimate. I downloaded itunes and it works fine, but it won't let me sync my ipod. It comes up fine at first but either while it says it is being verified or while it is syncing my itunes freezes. I can't sync any of my songs. My ipod touch is a 1st gen 16 gb and it works just fine with other computers (it isn't jailbroken either). I tried using alternative software to upload music onto my ipod, but the same thing happens! My itunes does work with my old ipod nano though.. Do I have a bad driver or something? What is wrong?
Two things:
- Completely remove and reinstall the Apple software by the following. That link provides a link for Win &.
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
- If you still have a problem after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod you likely have a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is then in order.

I have a new computer and it will not let me sync my ipod touch
I am using a pc with windows 7 and I also installed itunes, but when I want to sync it tells me that it can only sync to one computer, and that syncing would erase all the data on the ipod touch. I need to get pictures, videos and music off my ipod touch.
Thanks for your responses,
but I am not worried about any music on my ipod touch, I have not even ever purchased a song from itunes, but only copied my own personal music cds.
I need to get to my pictures and videos.
Thanks -

By design the iPad will only Sync with one iTunes at a Time, so what you are experiencing is expected behavior.

My computer won't let me sync my iPod touch 4th generation
My computer isn't/won't let me sync my iPod touch 4th generation. I'm trying to upload photos from my computer (laptop, HP/Windows 7).
iTunes keeps asking me to authorize my computer, it will authorize it, but it will ask the same question and for my Apple information again.
It will let me get to step 3/5 of the syncing process but if I hit the X and close out, it will terminate/end the process. I've only synced this one
computer. Any advice?
-InnocentD3monIt doesn't freeze, it just asks for my Apple ID and password. It'll repeatedly pop up and ask, even if my computer is already synced. When I close out of the login/sync request it terminates the syncing process.
When it's listed at the 3/5 in the syncing process, it says "Transferring Purchases from 'xxxx's iPod touch' (Step 3 of 5)" -

I purchased a new computer and transferred all my itunes music by copying the music and transferring to new computer. When I try to sync my ipod, itunes
says that I already have another computer. The other computer no longer exists. How do I rid the identity of the old computer?If the Erase and Sync option does appear when this prompt comes up, restore the Nano to factory settings and then resync all your content back over to it from your new iTunes library. This process will allow the iPod to associate itself with the new library.

HT203175 My computer will not let me use my iPod!
I tried to insert my USB port into my PC, but won't read that my iPod is on but it does a sound when I connect/disconnect my iPod on my PC.
Someone please help me if you can!
Thank you if you can help or comment on this case.Have you tried reinstalling iTunes? Or another USB Port? Or another Wire?
When the iPod 'makes a sound' does it come up on the ipod that it is charging -
My computer will not let me click the box in iTunes where it says "sync only checked music and videos." So i cant unsync songs that i don't want on my iPod but still want in my iTunes. HELP?!
These are your options:
1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
Advantages: All images should be preserved.
Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost. -
I have a 5th generation iPod nano. I downloaded an audiobook on Itunes. It will not let me sync saying this computer is not authorized. Anyone know what to do?
Move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

What a pain -on a mac- never had aproblem- loaded a new shuffle with music - will not let me sync itunes store bought songs- will not let me authorize the computer. I have a ipod as well. Is this a block when loading a second device? OR?
In iTunes, do Store->View my AppleID
Click "Deuthorize ALL"
Then, on any computers you still have, do Store->Authorize this computer. If there are less than 5, you will have no problem.
You can only do "deauthorize all" once a year, so in the future, if you ever throw a computer away, remember do to "Store->Deauthorize this computer" first. -
I just upgraded my iPhone 4 software to iOS 5.0.1 and I keep getting error -35 and it will not let me sync any apps, movies etc.
I had the same issue. I closed iTunes, restarted the computer and then tried again. This time it would sync. Another thing I tried was switching USB ports I was connecting through.

My Computer will not let me open itunes at all. It tells me that the itunes libary can not be read because it was created by a newer version.
If you still have an issue you may have to see about using the iTunes version (application) included with Snow Leopard 10.6 from the installer or an another one if available online, and see if that will install.
Sometimes you may have uninstall the bits left in your system by the earlier (or later) iTunes installers; as they all leave a trace and these can stop a different version of iTunes from being installed.
Not sure if the following site/link will tell the method...
•Apple - Support - iTunes - install & update:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/install/
•Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X:

Good luck & happy computing!
ps: i see you resolved this issue. it's magic! -
ITunes will not let me sync my iPad 2...
iTunes will not let me sync my 8 month old, previously synced iPad 2. It is no longer recognized over Wi-Fi and when i plug it in via USB I am given the 'Set Up Your iPad' screen. I have tried restoring from a backup, and that successfully restores my iPad but iTunes still will not recognize this. My only options remain 'setup as a new iPad' or 'Restore from the backup...'
Any ideas what I should do? I have tried both soft and hard reboots, closed/reopened itunes, rebooted my MacBook...nothing has worked. Should I suck it up and try resetting to the factory settings? Or does this sound more like an issue with the iPad?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated - ThanksISSURE RESOLVED - there was an interupted/corrupt backup of this device that had to be deleted. After deleting this backup file, iPad was recognized without issue...only wish is hadnt tried 'restoring from backup' first since my settings were reverted to that previous date once issue was resolved.
