After every  sync i have to restore my ipod Touch (4g) when i connect it next time to my computer (windows 7 64 bit version)

when i want to sync my ipod touch 4g it doesn`t work so the ipod gets into maintenance condition and i have to restore it ( sorry for my english i´m from germany )
all operatins systems are on the newest version: That means newest ipod software and newest i tunes

Yes, but the upgrade would have started a whole new ball game and their may be a collision occurring/problem with the driver for either device. Check the sites for each and see if there are any updated drivers available (is the mouse a Logitech?) and install them. If the problem persists go into Device Manager and manually assign a much higher device letter to the iPod, such as M: or T:.

  • I have a 3rd gen Ipod touch and when i connect it to my Macbook pro to sync it with itunes, it doesn't show up on iTunes. When I connect my iPhone 6 to my computer it syncs, backs up, ect. How do I connect this older iPod to my iTunes?

    Hi ChristianHelpplz,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It seems like your iPod touch is not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, but your iPhone 6 is working normally.
    I recommend starting with these steps to troubleshoot your iPod touch and connection with your Mac:
    Check your USB connections
    Unplug other USB devices from your Mac and try again.
    Try a different USB port.
    Try a different USB cable.
    Restart your device
    Restart your iOS device or reset your iPod.
    Restart your Mac
    Turn your Mac off and back on.
    Update your software
    Check for software updates on your Mac.
    Check for an iTunes update.
    Check your security software
    If you have security software installed, learn how to resolve issues between iTunes and your security software.
    From:
    If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
    If you've tried these steps and your iPod touch is still not recognized, try placing it into Recovery Mode next:
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

  • I have a brand new ipod touch and it wont connect to itunes or my computer!!??

    I have a brand new ipod touch however when I connect it to my computer, itunes does not recognise it and neither does my computer. The drivers have downloaded and are showing working. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing itunes as discussed in support centre however nothing seems to work. The ipod itself just has the connect to the computer on the screen, is fully charged and when plugged in a little lock sign comes up for a second or two above the itunes icon!!! Let me know if you have any further suggestions please.

    Thanx for you suggestions, I used my old xp laptop...update software and my ipod connected however the memory is not large enough to hold my itunes library so I could see it was not the cable or the ipod at fault.
    I have tried to connect to my vista laptop again and have tried all of the suggestions in troubleshooting again...I have even upgraded to windows 7 to see if that cleared the problem....and....my computer has located my ipod but is only recognising it as a digital camera so back to the drawing board...
    Please have you any other suggestions???

  • I have just restored my ipod touch after being disabled.  Now it is asking for pasword, can I cancel this so I don't have to use a password?

    I have just restored my ipod touch after being disabled. Now it is asking for the passcode?  I still cant remember the passcode.  How do I go past this?

    You'll have connect in recovery mode and set it up "as new ipod" http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone and iPod touch software.
    If the issue continues after updating and restoring your device, refer to this document.

  • I have to restore my ipod touch, but where will my music be that hasnt sync'd yet that i purchased on my ipod?

    I have to restore my ipod touch, but where will my music be that i downloaded from my ipod? It hasnt sync'd to my computer yet because my ipod isnt 'recognized' by my computer, therefor I need to Restore it. But I dont want to restore it if I'm going to lose those songs...

    I lost my music once because a faulty hard disk, I got in touch with iTunes support and got back most of it, except those that where pulled off the iTunes Store, but I am not sure what are the current policies. That is why I advice you to take it to the Apple Store, if it is a faulty unit you might get it replaced for free, who knows.

    I have bought a new ipod touch and when i went to sync my music library on to it only a few songs went over, the ones that didnt had a ! next to them. I had no problem when using my last ipod touch but i was using a pc at the time not a mac though.

    Hi there,
    This usually meas that iTunes can't find the original files. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for some tips on locating that lost media.

    Maybe:

    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .

  • Why do I have to restore my ipod touch every 2-3 months because something has become corrupt? Is there no way to restore my ipod while saving my data as well?

    I constantly have problems with my ipod touch 4g. I previously owned an ipod touch 2g but I would always end up having to restore it because of something silly. This time, my 4g 8 gig ipod touch needs to be restored. I synced it to my desktop and I deleted some apps to free up space. After the sync, both itunes and my ipod show 0 bytes free and the "other" section takes up over 1 gig of space. Everyone says to restore it but I don't want to end up losing my data and music again. Is there anything I can do to keep my data and fix this little glitch?

    All the music should be on the computer so you can just sync the music back to the iPod after you restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod. Regarding app data, just export (email/file sharing etc) as much as possible so you can import it back.

  • I had to change my hard drive, now i'v tried to reinstall itunes, it is saying i have to restore my ipod touch to factory settings, will i loose all my films by doing this, as now my ipod wont work anyway unless i restore ?

    I had to change my hard drive, now i'v tried to reinstall itunes it says i have to restore my iopd touch to factory settings and will loose my files. I have a few films on there and they show up on my purchases.If i restore, will i be able to get my films back ? as at the moment my ipod wont work now untill i restore anyway.

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Here's how to:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your ipod to your computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.

  • I tried to update my ipod touch but my itunes froze and i had to restart my computer and now it says i have to restore my ipod touch but it always freezes halfway what do i do?

    my itunes said to update my itunes and ipod touch and when i tried my itunes froze and i had to reset my computer and now my ipod has to restore and when it does it freezes what ddo i do?

    This seems to fit yu symptom:
    Hang during restore process: Following Troubleshooting security software will frequently resolve this error. This error can be caused by the default packet size being set incorrectly. There may be third-party software installed that modifies the default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize or MaxGlobalTcpWindowSize entry into the Registry. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance in adjusting this TcpWindowSize values. Typically the default packet size is modified by 3G cellular network card software, ISP communication software, or Internet speed download optimization software. There are legitimate reasons to change the TCP/IP packet size and not use the Windows default settings (for example, network traffic optimization, home/broadband optimization, enterprise app optimization such as database apps, Exchange, and more). Deleting the "TcpWindowSize" or "GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize" entries in Windows Registry could affect the system's performance with other apps or on their network connections. Deleting the customized TCP/IP settings may require the reinstallation of any third-party applications that had modified the TCP/IP settings from the Windows default settings.
    There are two ways to resolve this:
    You can follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) , or follow the steps below to manually find and remove TcpWindowSize and MaxGlobalTcpWindowSize entries from the Registry.
    For Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7: Go to the C:\\Windows folder and launch regedit.
    Go to Edit > Find.
    Search for "TcpWindowSize" entries. There are typically multiple entries of TcpWindowSize/GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize spread throughout the entire Registry. If "TcpWindowSize" exists, one or more third-party applications have changed the user's default Windows settings for TCP/IP.
    Go to File and select Export. This step will export a copy of the Registry that can be used as a backup of the original settings.
    Delete the "TcpWindowSize" entry.
    Search for the next "TcpWindowSize" entry and delete each one until the Registry no longer has any "TcpWindowSize" entries.
    Close Regedit, restart the PC, and test.
    If you are uncertain as to why these registry entries exist and the PC is a business computer, contact your network administrator and determine what values TCP/IP can be set in their Windows Registry setting so that the PC can update or restore an iOS device rather than deleting the "TcpWindowSize" entry.
    If editing the registry does not resolve the issue, restoring on a different computer that did not install the communication software is the step most likely to resolve this issue.
