New IPod Touch will not sync with Itunes-updated to iOS 7.1.1 for new IPod

Just purchased new IPod Touch (purchased 6-3-14 - had a Classic until it fried). After setting it up, I tried to sync to ITunes and it says it syncs but does nothing. No music transferred to IPod. I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 if that means anything. This is very frustrating as I am not a computer whiz and really want to use my IPod in my really long commutes to work. Thanks for any insight...

Hi abbeyesque,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like your iPod touch is recognized and syncing, but it isn't transferring the content that you expect to be transferred. Take a look at the article linked below, it will show you how to select the iPhone in iTunes and where the tabs are (second picture) that control what is synced to the iPod.
iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
Sync using USB
Open iTunes.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable.
Click the Device button in the upper-right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button first.) If you don't see your device, you may need to hide the sidebar. Choose View > Hide Sidebar.
Some tabs may not appear if you don't have the corresponding content in your library. For example, if you don't have any podcasts in your library, the Podcast tab won't appear.
Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.

    My ipod touch will not sync with itunes I have tried to restore it to the factory settings and have now lost what little music I had on it I have music in my itunes but it wont sync for some reason .. please help ..

    Why won't it sync? Are you getting any sort of error message during the sync process?  If so what is the exact wording of that error message?  If this the computer you normally sync the iPod with?

  • Ipod touch will not Sync with Itunes

    Roomate deleted most of my music on my ipod touch and now it will not sync with itunes when I try to put the music back on.

    - First try resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - have you tried a different cable/USP port?
    - Assuming a PC look here:

    - you may have to place your iPod in recovery mode to get iTunes to see the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • Ipod Touch will not sync with Itunes 12.1.1.4 64 bit

    I have recently updated itunes and on the back of doing so my Ipod touch will not sync my library. The Ipod itself is a couple of years old but using iOS 6.1.6.
    I have deleted and re-installed Itunes. I have wiped my Ipod to start again. I have set it to sync over Wi-fi and nothing has worked. I physically plug the Ipod in and it gets detected. If I change a setting and click apply it briefly says syncing and then nothing.
    I have set automatically download Itunes songs etc etc etc and absolutely nothing seems to get it to sync!
    Help!

    You said " If I change a setting and click apply it briefly says syncing and then nothing.".
    How many steps are completed? What is listed in the status bar of iTunes when it stops?

  • Ipod touch will not sync with itunes 9

    i have a large libary on my ipod touch that wont sync to itunes. Also will not load playlist. Just purchsed a few shows and i try and sync and i says its done but still not on the ipod touch. please help!!

    Syncing on a touch is iTunes -> iPod, not the other way around. If you have a large library on your iPod that doesn't exist anywhere else (very bad practice) and need to move things to iTunes, you have two choices:
    1. Purchased items can be transferred by selecting, in iTunes, File > Transfer my purchases
    2. Music you have added from CDs you ripped yourself: Google "Pod to PC" for a freeware program that can do this for you.
    As to your purchased shows, you most likely downloaded them in the wrong format. iTunes lists programs in HD (for the Apple TV) and regular definition for the iPod. Just go back and download the correct version.

  • IPod Touch will not sync with iTunes on new computer

    I recently got a new computer (Dell to HP, which shouldn't make any difference). I downloaded iTunes on the new computer and was able to get all my music, tv shows, and movies onto my new computer using a Flash Drive.
    I have contacted iTunes help twice now and they have basically given me nothing to work with. I have all the updated software (2.2.1 or so), and I have restore my iPod Touch about 3 times because I was told this would work.
    When I try to sync my iPod Touch, it tells me that it could not sync because certain songs "could not be found". I have every single one of my purchases and stuff from CDs on my iTunes and I just want this fixed so I can use my iPod Touch again.
    My iPod is now empty except for a few applications and pictures that, for some reason, were able to get past all that and can be synced. If anyone has had this problem, please please please help me. I am getting very close to ripping my hair out with frustration and/or throwing my iPod Touch out of the window.

    unless you do TWO (and I mean BOTH) things... 1) put the audio files in the same path as on the old laptop... and 2) copied over (or exported) library info, you will have to do something else... and all it is, is to tell the itunes to "add folder".
    Once you add the folder, just consolidate it.
    When I bought my new laptop, I had copied my music library and the extra account information. I restored the account info, but put my music in a different location (on a completely separate drive, which has saved me a few times since). So I had to change the preferences to point to the correct location, and it picked up ALL the songs.
    I've since done a recovery on my new laptop a few times... and unfortunately I didn't save a copy of the account info (my old laptop has "glitched" out since, and I have no access to that info either). So even though my music is still there, I have to tell iTunes to "add folder", even though I changed the preferences to use that same folder as its library.

  • IPod Touch will not sync with iTunes - Windows 7 w/Service Pack 1

    I recently updated my relatively new (December) HP desktop to the new Windows 7 Service Pack 1. Since then, I have been unable to sync my iPod Touch with iTunes. Once the sync is initiated, iTunes freezes and nothing happens. Needles to say, before I did that update, I did not experience these problems. I have removed and reinstalled all the iTunes and related software, as per Apple's instructions, and still no change. Does anyone know if there is a solution to this issue or if one might be coming from Apple?

    Hello iTouch,
    Try a hard reset of your iPod. Hold down the home and sleep/wake buttons until a red slider appears at the top of the lock screen. Sliding it will power off your iPod. Turn it back on and then try connecting it to iTunes.
    That's actually a soft reset.
    A hard reset requires you to hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
    Keep up the good work though.

  • HT2292 iPod touch will not sync with iTunes

    I just bought a refurbished ipod touch, 4th generation. I configured it as a new iPod Touch. I then plugged it into my laptop, and although the iPod shows up in windows explorer, iTunes will not recognize it. I followed all the steps given by apple support on the topic, including reinstalling iTunes, and nothing has worked.
    I'm running windows 8, 64 bit. Any help appreciated!

    mroover,
    I'm having the same problem. Took me forever just to get iTunes installed, but once it did, it initially 'sees' my iTouch 4, but can't seem to maintain the connection, telling me to disconnect & try again later. The last time I tried, I got a pop-up about "sync-services" couldn't talk to the iTouch and to reconnect & try again.

  • IPod touch will not sync with iTunes 10.5

    When I connect the device iTunes shows my iPod on the left, but all I get is a spinning beachball and I can't click anything in iTunes.

    Same here, iTunes otherwise works just fine. Plug in iPod Touch (32GB from fall of last year, iOS v4.3.5), iTunes locks up and eventually crashes. iPod never chimes in that it's connected and charging and shows up in device list in iTunes, but never enters sync mode.
    PowerBook G4, Mac OS 10.5.8 with 2GB of RAM. Tryed re-installing iTunes 10.5, restarting, rebuilding permissions, nothing worked. Worked just fine last week. Also links up just fine with a Windoze 7 laptop running iTunes 10.5 (but it's not one that I sync with.).
    Bummer, I was really looking forward to iOS 5, but now will have no way to install it untill Apple fixes 10.5.

  • My ipod touch will not sync with itunes

    I updated my ipod touch and now the music won't sync to itunes. Itunes recognizes the ipod and even knows which artists I have chosen for it.  The apps are all there but not the songs or videos.  When I click SYNC it skips the steps that would actually sync the music. I am afraid to reinstall itunes because I don't want to lose my selections.  I have a large music library and this ipod touch cannot accomodate the entire library so I had to pick and choose some favorites. I tried restoring the ipod to the backup library and to factory settings. Nothing works. It's driving me nuts. Please help if you can. Thanks!
