Ipod touch not synching with latest version of Itunes

I connect my Ipod touch 2nd generation 8 gig to Itunes latest version and it makes the moves as if it were synching but contacts and events do not appear on the Ipod after synching. I mean new events and contacts. I have erased duplicates on my MacBook Pro and they still appear on the Ipod. What could this be? Helo!

Syncing, unless you are loading a 64g touch for the first time, should only take a matter of minutes. Tap your iPod to wake it up and hit "Cancel Sync". Not sure what happened, but that isn't correct.
Anyway, to do a forced calendar sync where your iPod calendar is overwritten is pretty easy. With your iPod plugged into iTunes and showing in "Devices", click on the Info tab (far right). Scroll to the bottom and you will see the "Advanced" section. Pick the area you want to overwrite and resync your touch.

HT204088 How how can I synch my ipod + iphone music to my new computer? I get the same error "my ipod or iphone is synched with another itunes library.An Ipod can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would I like to do Erase and Synch

How can I synch my ipod & iphone music (purchased from itunes on my old laptop) to my new laptop? I keep getting the same message on my itunes on my new laptop: " The ipod/Iphone is synched with another itunes library. An ipod/iphone can be synched with only one itunes library at a time. What would you like to do - Erase and Synch or Transfer Purchases?" What do I do?
A couple of other items:
1) I am guessing Apple does not keep a history of all my music purchases? As I did not have my entire library backed-up anywhere, and relying on the music I have on my ipod and my iphone as my only source of itunes music....I have lost over 500 songs!!!
2) I used to have an Apple account under another account name, and since have switched to a new account name. Is there anyway to find the history of purchases from my old Apple account name and transfer these over to my new account name and onto my new laptop?
I hope someone can help, I am having a very difficult time trying to obtain answers. Angie

The iphone/ipod is NOT a storage/backup device. Not maintaining a backup copy is a big mistake.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone/ipod to your computer:
Authorize your computer for all accounts and then click File>Transfer Purchases

My 160MB iPod Classic won't sync from iTunes. This is a recent problem. The error message is "The iPod cannot be synched. An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that music will sync but photos will not. Current software on Mac and iPod.

My iPod classic won't synch from iTunes. This is a recent problem. The error message reads "The iPod cannot be synched. An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that the music will sync but photos will not sync. I am running current versions of software on the iPod and the iMac / iTunes. HELP! J

First try to resolve #2 by:
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
If you can resolve #1 and still get same message for #1 then you have to restore the iPod like the message says.

The ipod cannot be synched. the disk could not be read from or written to?

So I've done everything possible to try to get my touch to sync all my songs from my itunes library at once and nothing is working. So sadly i spent the entire day plugging and unpluggin the usb cord because at most i could put 30 songs on my touch before it came up with the error "the ipod cannot be synched. The disk could not be read from or written to." this is very frustrating as i have many videos i purchased on itunes with anticipation of putting them on my touch but if i try to do so at most it downloads half then it pops up with the same error. If anyone of y'all can help, that would be greatly appreciated i'm slowly but surely giving up on the touch all together even though i love it this error to it is very time consuming and annoying.

Same problem. With an iPod Touch.
This began after I accidently pulled out the USB before it was fully ejected. (I hit eject, and the icon vanished from iTunes, so I THOUGHT I was okay...) But I got the error. And since then, I've got the error you speak of. Mine may be a tad off.
When I drag a song from iTunes or the Finder into the iPod it copies fine but then the error pops up.
But now it's fixed, and I'm not sure why. And I'm hoping it doesn't come back.
I remember I went into the iPod Touch itself. Went to...
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
After that, I got back to the window from iTunes asking if I want to manually manage songs. I unchecked the box next to the choice of letting iTunes do it automatically.
But Even after that, I had the synching problem.
So I went into the main iPod Touch tab in iTunes. Under options the "Manually manage music and videos" box WAS CHECKED. I decided to uncheck it. Maybe the iPod was observing 'Opposite Day'. I know my cellphone does. On my cellphone, when I choose to play videos without sound, it plays WITH sound. So, I dunno...
Anyway, after I UNCHECKED "Manually manage music and videos" I ejected the iPod and reconnected it. And I plugged the USB into another port. Guess what? It didn't automatically synch. And when I added music on my own from either iTunes or the Finder, it worked well too. The weirdest thing... when I went to have a look at the box next to "Manually manage music and videos" - it had been checked again, without my doing.
UPDATE: And as I began typing that last sentence - THE ERROR CAME BACK. So.. NEVERMIND! I'm still stuck and angry!
*UPDATE II:* The error happened again after a song I was listing to in iTunes from the Touch ended. Once it ended, the error popped up and music stopped playing. I tried dragging a new song from iTunes into the Touch and it wouldn't let me. I unplugged and then plugged the iPod back in, and dragged songs again. So far it works... SO FAR. So far no errors. I tried deleting a song from the Touch and also no problem.
*UPDATE III:* I did a test. I added album artwork to songs that had none, already inside my Touch. It took a bit longer than it would have on my computer, but all tracks on the album got the art work, and the error message has yet to display since I did so.
*UPDATE IV* I've only been adding up to 10 songs at a time, worried that it would freeze. This time I added 31 songs, and they all imported - no error messages. Currently I'm worried that if I play a song from my Touch through iTunes the message will return. I'm too afraid to do it deliberately. I know I was able to do so with no problem with my 2nd Gen 10GB iPod I've had for years. That was working with my computer as of 3 days ago!

Error "The IPod cannot be synched. A duplicate file name was specified"

When I drag a song from my ITunes library to my Nano, an error pops up that says "The IPod cannot be synched. A duplicate file name was specified." I've read on other boards that I should delete the IToner bundle, but there is no IToner bundle in ITunes plug ins, just a Quartz Composer Visualizer. ANy suggestions on how to keep the error message from popping up every time I add a song?

Drag the song from Library to the playlist window then drag it to Devices instead of directly from the Library.

When I click get Media from premier elements as soon as the pitures start coming up Adobe shuts down. Why

I put all my pictures into Elements. I went into Premier to make a slide show and Added Media. As soon as the pictures started to come up Premier closes and stops working. Why

Ask in the elements forum Photoshop Elements some one there might have had your problem and can help.

"The iPod cannot be synched. The required disk cannot be found."

Brand new 30GB video iPod, synching with a WindowsXP laptop. First time I plugged it in it synched beautifully (I already had iTunes v7 installed). Then I bought some new tunes and a TV show on iTunes the same day and tried synching again, but got this error: "The iPod cannot be synched. The required disk cannot be found." Huh? It just worked a second ago.
So after much frustration and trial-and-error, I finally de-installed and re-installed iTunes v7 on my laptop. Restarted computer, and synching functions again. Yah! Then I got overconfident: I bought MORE iTunes and TV shows. Now the same "required disk missing" error. What disk??? I can't keep de-installing and re-installing iTunes every time I buy a new song just to get it to synch!
Can somebody help?

Thanks! This got me some momentum, but even after adding the patch and restoring my iPod, it still hangs while synching. I let it synch and run all night long, and in the morning I still got the "do not disconnect" sign on the iPod and the "synching" message on iTunes. The new videos/songs did synch eventually, but every time I plug in the iPod it hangs after synching.
Maybe iPod/iTunes just don't like PCs?

Do You NEED The iPod Start-Up CD?

If you get a brand new iPod, do you NEED the iPod Start-Up CD?

No you don't need the cd. In fact the new iPods on sale don't even have it included nowadays.

Can't get ipod shuffle to synch with pc

Hi I am a new user and very virginal when it comes to technical stuff!!!! I have attached my iPod shuffle using the usb to the laptop but i keep getting a message that says i need to either load the cd or download ipod download updater from the apple website. I have done this but to no avail. My ipod will not synch with my pc. any clues on how to get started. Not only am i virginal but i am now frustrated!!!! Please help!!!!!

After you downloaded the itunes program, have you open up itunes by double clicking on the shortcut on your desktop? If you have, has the program opened up. Althought you have downloaded the program, it may not yet be installed in your computer, and you have to go thru that process to actually have it work on your computer. If you have gone thru this process, what happenens when you have opened up itunes, and then you connect you ipod?

Error - The software required for the ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes to install the required sotware

When trying to load music from ITunes to my ipod I receive the error "The software required for the ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes to install the required sotware"
What should I do to correct the error?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies. The notes below the box include tips on removing troublesome components.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

I can't get my ipod to synch with my conmuter or itunes. But my kids are able to synch their ipods.

I can't get my ipod to synch with my computer or itunes. I've checked the USB ports, my ipod is charged and my kids are able to get their ipods to synch.

Have you tried using a different known working USB cable? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.o port on the back of your PC? What happens if you reset the device with it still connected to your PC? To do this, toggle the hold switch on and then off, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, try removing all other USB devices (minus the keyboard and mouse if applicable) and reboot your PC. Then reconnect your iPod after opening iTunes. Any luck there?
What happens if you connect it to another PC or Mac running iTunes. Is it recognized there?
