Why is my ipod touch not syncing?

I have been trying to sync my ipod touch to itunes for hours and I have tried everything that itunes help support has told me to do and it still wont sync.

To see your firmware version:
Check: Settings > General > About > Firmware Version
Also, is your device recognisable by iTunes?

    Probably because you did not tell the iPod to sync the calendar in iTunes.

    why has my ipod touch not offered an ios7 update?
    it is currently on the iOS 6.1.3

  • Now that I moved my itunes to a new computer why will my iphone and ipod touch not sync?

    I just switched my itunes to my new laptop from my desktop (which no longer works).  Everything seemed to be ok after I updated to the newest version of itunes.  Now I cannot get my iphone (3G) and my ipod touch to sync at all.  In fact when I plugged in my ipod touch it erased everything I had on there.  I know these are older devices but I had no problems with syncing previously so why now?  Even the backups will not work. 

    You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. If you switch iTunes will erase the iPod and replaces the media with what is in the iTunes library of the new computer.
    You should have done this:

    You said "Even the backups will not work.". What happens when you try to restore from backup?

  • IPod Touch not syncing w/ iMac iCal

    First post! I sync my iPod Touch with my iMac thru the cable. Recently my iPod touch stopped syncing w/ my iMac. for example: the calendar events on the iMac are not transferred to the iPod. Also on the iPod when I create an event, it will only give me the choice of either Calendar [imap_.Mac]:Mail To Do or Calendar, not all my different calendars like before. I don’t know what happened to change this. I restored the iPod but nothing changed. Perhaps it was a software update?
    I went to the genius bar and was told that the next time I synced the iPod, under the “Info” page to go to “Advanced”, Replace information on the iPod and click the boxes that I needed to replace. This did nothing. I then put an event on the iPod and synced it with the computer, the event was not transferred to the computer.
    Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

  • Why does my ipod touch not automatically sync with itunes

    When I connect my ipod touch to my laptop it says that it has sync'd on itunes but does not sync the music that I have downloaded onto my ipod touch!! I am going round in circles with the troubleshooting manual as the page on itunes that I have looks totally different to the page that is described in the manual. My laptop is new and Windows 7 and I have downloaded the latest version of itunes. My ipod touch is new as well. Can anyone help?

  • IPod Touch not syncing music

    Why oh why do things that worked previously not work now? This happens so much with Apple products!!!
    I have tried now several times to sync my plugged-in iPod Touch with my iTunes selected songs and playlists.
    I have checked the boxes about manually managing music. I have chosen for the iPod to sync with a playlist in my iTunes library, and even tried just dragging the songs over.....They still do not show up on the iPod.
    I did a manual reset, holding down the On/Off button and home button on the iPod, and it still isn't syncing correctly.

    I had a similar problem yesterday. Even after "restoring" it still would not sync the music but did sync the videos!! In another thread I found some help from "John Guo" who suggested
    "Try putting the iPod into recovery mode. To do that, turn off the iPod. Then it on and hold the Home button until it asks you to connect to iTunes. Plug the iPod into your computer and restore it. Hope this works."
    I did that & all works fine now. One other thing I did was set NO automatic syncing in itunes prefs. I when it asked after the restore I did NOT restore settings from backup bu designated it a new ipod.
    Good luck,
    Harris

  • Why is my iPod Touch not being recognized in iTunes, Device Manager, or my entire computer?

    I have had my iPod Touch since christmas and it is now June. The version is 4.1 and it's the one with the camera. My previous cord worked fine and I never had any problems with iTunes or my iPod before. I lost my cord for about a month (actually I have no clue how long) and my dad picked one up for me yesterday. It cam in a BELKIN package with the USB cord that plugs into a wall charger or car charger. So, I needed to upload my music and when I plugged my iPod in, I went to go sync the music, and I noticed the was no "Device" column in iTunes. So, I went into "My Computer" and didn't find it in (E:) where it always used to be. Then I searched the WHOLE computer and I couldn't find it anywhere. Then I searched for help online. Everything kept telling me to go to device manager and reinstall the device and blah blah blah. BUT IT'S NOT EVEN IN THE DEVICE MANAGER!! I couldn't find it anywhere in there! So like, is my iPod completely erased from my computer forever??? I tried restarting my iPod, my computer, and I made sure my iTunes was the lastest version. I also tried 3 different USB ports and none of them worked!      SO NOW WHAT!!??  Should I try a different USB cord?? Please help!!!
              Sincerely,
       Desparate Girl Who Loves Her iPod Dearly                      P.S. I have Windows XP.

    You should get a genuine USB cord from Apple, to make sure your iPod 4G is supported correctly.
    In addition to that see if Apple Mobile Device Service is still installed and active on your computer. More info in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

  • 3rd gen iPod Touch not syncing with iTunes 10.4.1 on Lion?

    I've had a 3rd gen 64GB iPod Touch for almost two years now and I've only had one problem with syncing it before. I followed this (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1747) and it helped. But since I updated my MacBook Pro to Lion, this article no longer applies and iTunes hasn't recognized my iPod. My iPod does show up in iPhoto though. Everything is fully updated and I restored my iPod using another computer, but even after doing that my iPod isn't recognized in iTunes. Also, my iPod won't go into recovery mode. It shows the connect to iTunes screen but when I connect it, nothing happens. I've tried restarting my computer and my iPod many times and I've tried everything I know.
    Now, since restoring, I have nothing on my iPod and I use it every day so any help would be appreciated.

    I figured out how to show the hidden files, but even after doing that, the files weren't there.  On the page that you showed me, it says "Note: These steps do not apply to OS X Lion" and since I am using Lion, it didn't work

  • Ipod Touch not syncing Win 8 64, iTunes 11

    Hi,
    New install of win 8 64
    New install of iTunes 11.0.0.163
    iPod Touch original with OS 3.1.3
    Whenever I sync music file or videos to this iPod Touch iTunes will hang mid sync. Sometime it hangs close to the beginning and sometimes towards the end. Sometimes a video or song or two will make it onto the iPod but most often it just hangs. If I leave it for abou 10 minutes then iTunes will eventually return control with a timeout message saying my device timed out.
    All the songs and vidoes synced on this device a few days ago when I was using XP and an earlier verison of iOS on the iPod -- the files are good.
    Things I have done to try and fix this:
    -- upgraded the iOS on the iPod Touch -- I'm now on 3.1.3 and it didn't work and cost me a few dollars
    -- reset the iPod Touch -- a full reset, and then set up "as new iPod" on iTunes -- didn't work and I lost some photos (no big deal)
    -- reinstalled iTunes for 64 bit on Win 8 -- didn't work, I'm definitely using 64 (iPodhelper service shows as 64 bit in TM)
    -- run iTunes in Win 7 compatibility mode -- didn't work and iTunes functioned very poorly and hung almost from the start
    -- changed the videos from "Home Video" to music video -- didn't work
    -- changed the videos from "Home Video" to "TV Programme" -- didn't work
    Looking for tips.
    Yours sincerely
    Pauly
