5th Gen iPod seen in iTunes, shows sync complete within seconds but nothing

5th Gen iPod seen in iTunes, shows sync complete within seconds but nothing actually gets transferred. iTunes64 bit on new laptop. Has synced successfully for a couple weeks.
This is my spouse's device and she is away for awhile. Is she stuck or try a restore? Don't want to do that until last resort in case ipod will not load afterwards.

mine used to freeze randomly during songs and i re-set it twice and that worked.

TS1368 Done all of the above...everything is in order, still cannot connect to the store. I have the 5th gen iPod and $50 iTunes gift card. I am going to return both of these items it I cannot find a fix for this.

Make sure that you can access the Internet on your computer or device.
Make sure that your computer meets the iTunes minimum system requirements.
Make sure that your operating system is up-to-date:
Done all of the above...everything is in order, still cannot connect to the store. I have the 5th gen iPod and $50 iTunes gift card that I cannot use(been trying now for 6 days). I am going to return both of these items if I cannot find a fix for this.

When I called Apple (after wating 42 min. for a live person) I was told to run the APPLE Software Update and turn off location services then restart my computer. There were no available updates. The iPod touch I got on Christmas day. The iTunes app was downloaded the same day. Since day 1 I have not been able to connect. I also followed lllaass's advice and followed instructions on the following 2 websites.

After restarting my computer:
From the iTunes app I click on the 'iTunes Store'
A new window opens and I get the following message:
This Apple ID has not yet veen used with the iTunes Store.
Please review your account information
So I click on 'Review' and am taken to a crude screen that says
Welcome to the iTunes Store
With an Apple ID, you can download the latest music, videos, and more.
To begin creating your Apple ID, click Continue.
So I click on 'Continue'
A pop up window says:
We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202).
There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.
And the only option I am left with is to click 'OK'
After every fix this same scenerio just loops and loops and loops

Have you tried a different USB port and/or USB sync cable? What happens if you place the iPod into Disk Mode? Does it show up then?

5th Gen iPod, seen by Windoze, not by iTunes

I've been too busy lately to hang out keep up with the iTunes 7 issues, but I still have to stop the iPod service, attach my iPod, start iTunes/start the service every time I want to sync. Is there any hope that this is a temporary condition or is this just how it's gonna be from now on? iTunes 7, 5th Gen iPod w/1.2 software, XP Pro SP2.
TIA for your comments/help.

Wow, 10 days and not a single reply. Guess I'm not the only one too dumb to figure out what's wrong with iTunes.

5th gen ipod recognized by itunes but not by my computer.

I wanted to add notes to my ipod but it's not showing up in 'my computer'. The ipod is still recognized in itunes and I can still add and remove songs.
Whenever I plug it in to the computer I a message that says
"Do you want to scan and fix ipod (:J)?
There might be a problem with some files on this device or disc. This can happen if you remove the device or disc before all files have been written to it."
When I click Scan and Fix it says "The disk check could not be peformed because Windows cannot access the disk."
I've completely removed and reinstalled itunes and reset my ipod multiple times. I can't tell you how many time I've gone through the 5 Rs.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this? or If I can fix it? I have Windows Vista.

Follow the instructions in this article.

Usually this happens when the device was improperly ejected from your PC.

Ne 5th gen IPod getting msg "Itunes has detected an IPod in recovery mode"

I purchased a new IPOD - have a 3 gen one as well. The people at the store said I could use both the old one and the new one on the same PC. But when I plug the new one in I get the message "Itunes has dtected an IPod in recover mode"
I looked throught the discussions and saw where the IPod drive letter may need to be changed. The problem is the IPod is not in the list of external drives.
I have another PC where I copied the music to and it works there - but not on the PC where the old IPod was used on.
Any ideas?

Unable to move music and pictures to iphone 4 iTunes shows sync complete = nothing on iPhone

iPhone sync issues: unable to move music and selected pictures from iMac to iPhone via iTunes sync. Sync shows complete - = nothing on iPhone.

Well, you marked this topic as solved which I guess it isn't really.
You need to transfer the library with which you originally synced the phone to the new computer. A phone will only sync to the original library or it will offer to erase the phone for syncing with a new library.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to choose a library, then select the copied iTunes folder.

My 16gb 5th gen iPod Touch says it is connected to the internet, but it is not. What do I do?

Please help me. I have iOs 7. I tried going on safari but I says I'm not connected to the internet. I went to settings>wi-fi and then my router is displayed under the switch to turn on and off the wi-fi. Here is a picture : (It's in French)
What do I do to be able to use the internet?
Thanks

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

5th Gen Ipod does not show photo tab under preferences

I am trying to get pics onto my Ipod. The ipod tutorials suggest going to a photo tab which I do not have. I can not update the Ipod because Itunes 7 says that Ipod is already up to date? Is anyone having this problems?
5th gen ipod Windows XP Itunes 7

The ipod tutorials suggest going to a photo tab which I do not have. I can not update the Ipod because Itunes 7 says that Ipod is already up to date?
can you check something for me? what icon is showing up in the itunes sourcelist? is it a wee picture of your 5th G, or does it look quite different?
what version of the firmware is being cited in the "summary" tab you see when you select the ipod in the sourcelist? is that the same version that you see in the "About" screen on your ipod?
Where's the iPod About screen, and what's in it?

5th gen ipod is connected and seen on itunes yet will not sync

My 5th gen ipod-nano is connected - visual and accessible on new version of itunes (using PC, running Win 7) yet will not sync. This only started happening after the last update from apple and I have spent HOURS trying to figure out how to fix including removing all apple apps and software and reinstalling 6 times now!!! Even when a diagnoses is run it shows my ipod is connected yet when I try to sync.. it tells me that disk is not found?

Well, nothing has worked yet. Same Itunes account. When I try to download from the App Store app on the touch, I downloads all the way to the end of the loading... installing phases. then says, "Unable to Downlad Application: app will be available for download when you log in to the Itunes Store on your computer."
But Itunes on the computer will do the same thing... load it all the way up, then give an error code of OxE8003FFE.
I tried restoring the Ipod, so now it only has the factory apps, music, videos, and no apps. And I can't add even one app.

I have a 5th gen iPod Touch. I have made playlists in iTunes. I need to get them to the iPod. When I had a Classic, it was automatic. You could drag and drop using iTunes music to the playlist in iTunes and it would automatically sync to the Classic.

I have a 5th gen iPoc Touch. In the past, with the Classic, I could drag and drop from my iTunes music to a Classic playlist through iTunes. Now, the playlist I create in iTunes doesn't show on the Touch. I have maybe 29 GB of music on my Touch. I have already created playlists in iTunes that have substantial amounts of songs in each. How can I get those playlists on the Touch without doing a total sync that wipes the iPod? Is there a way to do it?
As well, I am noticing here that my 5th gen iPod doesn't show as a registered device. How do I register it?

For how to sync see:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large. For some reason my ipod has stopped supporting Quicktime Large. Now I've had to redownload every video podcast as Quicktime Small.
Anyone have any ideas whether this is from the the software version 1.3 and if they'll fix it in the next update?

I'm having same problem, but QT Small videos are also not getting synced.

Hey jtom234412,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your device is not detected in iTunes for Windows. The following resource may help resolve this issue:

Furthermore, if your device is in recovery mode (displaying an iTunes symbol, with a plug), see the relevant information under Step 5.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply. The Itunes trouble shooting in Itunes help. I don't get an error message, it just states can't see ipod like if it wasn't plugged in. I do get an error message on a few of the songs when sync that say error 50, and state that they can't be loaded to ipod. The weird thing is that I can load all of my libary except the latest 3 albums. They are in my libary but they won't load. I'm not sure but it seems like it started when the cloud came about from amazon which is where I buy most of my music.
