Apps no longer syncing to ipod - help?

I've moved to the latest software and am using the new itunes, and my apps have disappeared from my ipod and won't sync. I've got the settings to back up to "this computer." On the apps tab, it shows "0" but they're all listed on that page. By dragging one over to the right, where the screenshots are of the ipod device pages, it shifts the core apps shown to all the ones that should be there when hitting "apply". But, it still shows "0" and doesn't sync. Any ideas?

Here is the solution: After five hours of endless error messages and incomplete re-syncs, it all boiled down to this: Restore the iPod Touch via iTunes. Everything was first erased from the iPod but then everything- contents (photos, music and settings) were restored from iTunes perfectly. Finally now MobileMe is also on all my Apple products - including the heretofore frustrating iPod.
Hope someone can save themselves a lot of aggravation by trying this fix should the updates prove to be less the "seamless"!
Cheers!

I can no longer sync my iPod Nano.

After installing the latest iTunes update, I can no longer sync my iPod Nano. Windows 7 says that there is no driver installed, whereas there was prior to the update. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit OS and the new iTunes version is 10.5.3.3. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
we have had to reset our pc to its factory setting and i can no longer sync my ipod when i buy a song? can anyone help? cheers.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this has not worked. I didn't have quicktime to begin with so I don't know if that makes a difference? After following the instructions, I get the "registry keys missing" problem appear again (which I've subsequently fixed again) and then when I connected the ipod I got the following message - 'Device driver software was not successfully installed'.
I've tried windows update but this doesn't do anything as '...the service is not running'.
Any suggestions?

Just downloaded update 11.1.4 and my itunes no longer syncs with Ipods or Iphones. What do I do?

Just downloaded itunes update 11.1.4 and now my itunes no longer syncs with ipods or iphones. What do i do? Should i uninstall new update? and how?

I am having the same issues with my iPhone 4 and iPad 2 not mounting within iTunes every since the iTunes update. I know my USB is working but this is crazy. I had a thought and redowned the updater 10.6.8 thinking it was a bad install still the same issues. Sorry I couldn't help. I am also looking for the answers.

So I have a gen2 8gig iPod touch and just the other day updated to 4.3 and now my pod wont show up in iTunes. Is it not compatible? Does this mean I can no longer sync my iPod??

I can no longer sync my iPod as it does not show up in my iTunes anymore, is this because I upgraded my Itunes??

You should still be able to sync you iPod. Your iPod just can be updated past iOS 4.2.1.
Assuming you have a PC, start her to get your computer to see the iPod.

IWork apps no longer sync with iCloud. I am on iOS 5.1,1, and this problem is several days old, before it was working fine. Anyone has an idea?

iWork apps no longer sync with iCloud. I am on iOS 5.1,1, and this problem is several days old, before it was working fine. Anyone has an idea?

Sadly this is not a new problem and I would not expect a forthcoming solution. I bought an iPad 3G and the iWork suite at the end of August and iCloud syncing worked fine. About the time Apple rolled out iOS 6 the syncing stopped working for me (without me upgrading or changing anything). It has never really worked since. Run iOS 5.1.1 on both the iPhone 4 and iPad 3G. The "geniuses" claim that Apples iOS 5 requirement is not correct and that I MUST upgrade both to ios 6 (although I know for fact that lots of folks STILL have the iCloud probs even with its 6. The last genius basically shrugged and non-verbally acknowledged the iCloud/iWork failing and suggested "just use Dropbox.". So why the **** did we pay for iWork!?!?!
Basically the iwork/iCloud Connnection is broken and I have yet to get a viable solution to repair the issue. Sorry for the bad news. For reference I have uninstalled/installed each iteration of iWork upgrades on each device without success. I have reset all settings multiple times, turned iCloud off/on repeatedly etc etc without success. I even wiped the iPad and restored from iCloud w/o intention (another Apple IPad "glitch" when I tried the "reset all settings" and the iPad decided to "erase all" instead. The genius said "it happens.")
Oddly, the Pages app is the only one that has marginally worked at times since the first probs. However it is basically broken and non-functioning. Certainly DO NOT trust vital documents to iCloud/iWork. I lost a number of work critical docs in this whole annoying, messy process of trying to get what Apple promised as easy....

Since updating to iod7, my iBooks app no longer syncs across devices. Please advise.
Frankly, the new iOS7 has many flaws that have shown up.

Hi mgoksoy,
Cheers for your reply.
It doesn't appear to affect every 4S. I don't know if theres specific batches it affects or maybe its location based, but i have a friend who has the same phone as me and theirs did exactly the same thing only after doing the firmware update. I'm pretty confident it is a bug. Looking around on google, it seems like its happening to a lot of other 4S users.
I have done a settings reset, didn't fix it. Did a settings and content reset, didn't fix it. Did a full recovery back to the backup i did when i first purchased it, didn't fix it. None of these things changes the firmware.
I am pretty appalled that apple would release a firmware upgrade with such an obvious problem for 4S users. Did they not test it first? Now i am finding multiple texts from people asking me things hours after they messaged me because the sounds don't work. Not impressed.

Ipod Touch 4g will no longer sync with iTunes - help!!!

I have an iPod Touch 4 and am using the latest version of iTunes 11.0.2.26 but can no longer get my ipod to sync with itunes. When I click on Sync I get the message 'waiting for changes to be applied' then 'finished' but it does not sync. I have completely restored my ipod and have uninstalled iTunes, Apple Update, Quicktime, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support before reinstalling iTunes. All my music in iTunes is from my own library rather than purchased from iTunes. It all used to work fine and I feel I've exhausted all my knowledge in fixing this and need some assistance. Can anyone help?

Seems like you've tried the most important steps in troubleshooting, so that's good.
What I'm wondering is: when you deinstalled iTunes and all those other things, did you do it in a specific order, according to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 for windows Vista/windows 7 or http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 for windows XP ? I don't see Apple Application Support in the list of components you deleted. I would recommend removing everything again in the specific order using the article you need and trying again to sync.
Also: try creating another user account on your computer and syncing again, because sometimes software issues are user-wide.
hope this helps, keep me posted

Videos no longer sync to ipod touch

We have ipod touch gen 3 and gen 4. After update we can no longer sync movies to ipods. Some of our own videos sync, but none of the videos from the itunes store will sync. They will play in Itunes. Ipods are up to date with operating system. I had to uninstall itunes and the apple programs to have a fresh install to make Itunes work. Help please.

Did you check to make sure the Manually manage music and videos option was still enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab in iTunes?

Address Book no longer syncs to iPod nano

I don't know whether this is an iTunes 10.5.2 problem or a Lion problem, but I recently found that iTunes is no longer syncing my address book to my 5G iPod nano. All I get is a zero-byte file with the current file creation time in the nano's Contacts folder. (I AM able to manually export a vcard file from my Address Book.app to the nano, and that is my current workaround.)

Podcasts No Longer Sync to iPod

Greetings!
I've several video podcasts I'm subscribed to that no longer sync to the iPod no matter what I do. It seems to have started at the last OS update, but I'm not sure. I can drag and drop the things onto the iPod in iTunes and the sync settings are to sync the latest 5 of all podcasts, but they still won't go to the iPod.
Anyone else run into this?

Sorry, I have no answer for you either as I am just experiencing this myself. I've been having major issues with my (6 month old, btw) iPod lately and wonder if it's time to restore?
I keep having to reset it and every time I try to start it back up, it crashes. I'm guessing a restore will help this but was also wondering if it will help the podcast issue too?

ICal calendars no longer syncing to ipod using itunes after Snow Leopard

Help! I upgraded yesterday to the new Snow Leopard and I can no longer sync my calendars to my ipod 5G. I do not have an iphone and this is the only way I can see my calendars. Did Snow Leopard "update" the calendars so that iTunes can no longer see them? I get the error message that there is no calendars available to sync, when indeed, I have 10. Please help!

Hi, some more information...
I worked with Apple on the phone for three hours, to no avail.
the troubleshooting steps are as follows:
1. deleted from HD/username/Library/Caches the "com.apple.ical folder"
2. deleted from HD/username/Library/Preferences the file "com.apple.iCal.plist"
3. deleted from HD/username/Library/Calendars the "Calendar Cache" file
4. removed and reinstalled itunes
5. "restored" ipod to factory default settings
6. exported, deleted, and re-imported all calendars (individually)
7. plugged in ipod and tried to sync calendars - still not working...
This issue has been escalated up...
After seeing many posts with ical issues with Snow Leopard, I think I am not alone...
None of this has helped

Apps will not Sync with iPod Touch

Hi,
I bought three new Apps this morning thru iTunes store. They will not sync with my son's i-Pod Touch. (The Apps are compatible with the iPod Touch). When I plug the iPod into the computer and I click on the Apps tab at the top, the screen is grey and I cannot click or unclick the 'Sync Apps' button. What can I do?
Thanks for your help!! It is much appreciated.

- Is the iPod connected to the computer it was last synced with? Syncing is different than manually managing music.
- On the iPod go to Settings>Store and see who is signed in. To change, just log out and sign in the correct account.

Updated apps won't sync to Ipod Touch

I've been having this problem for a while now. Whenever I update an app that I already have, the updated app won't sync to my touch and I get an error message. However, new apps downloaded from itunes work fine, they just are not current. Any help?

- Have you tried a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- NextI would restore from backup.

ITunes updated and no longer syncs with iPod Touch 4th gen

On January 26, 2014, I updated my iTunes software. After doing so, my iPod Touch 4th gen no longer syncs with or is recognized by iTunes. Reinstalling iTunes has not worked. I suspect that this is a problem created by the iTunes update.
