Brand new iPod Touch 4g won't sync music from iTunes?
Every time I plug my iPod into my laptop to add more music I get an error saying iTunes cannot read the contents and I need to restore it. Last week I got a new white iPod Touch 8gb 4g. I had the same problem with my last iPod and when I bought the new one I was hoping I wouldn't anymore but I do. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, restarting my computer, hard rebooting my iPod, turning my iPod off and on, deleting old backups, etc. But still it won't sync correctly. Sometimes it will start the sync, but rush through all the steps without actually syncing anything. So I try to sync again and again to see if it will add anything but it just rushes through all the steps without doing anything. And eventually I get the message saying it cannot be read and needs to be restored. I'm using windows, and my iPod as well as iTunes are both up to date. And I have plenty of space left on my iPod. I've even checked for viruses/threats but there are none on my computer. Even to add one new song I have to restore first. Even though it's a brand new iPod. Any ideas why it won't sync or why iTunes cannot read the contents??? I've been having this problem for awhile. A couple months. With my old iPod and my new one.
My understnding is that this may be a Windows related problem or sometimes USB problem. I have the same issue and I know how to correct it, BUT ( and this is a BIG BUT) ... it will happen again and each time it does you will have to fully restore your I-Pod. Here is my post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18645554#18645554 discussing a potential one time fix, but the problem happens the next time you plug in the I-Pod Touch 4G.

Brand new ipod touch and it wont sync to my Itunes.
My Itunes doesn't says its connected or anything. I plugged the usb into the computer, my computer makes the noise saying the ipod is plugged in and I don't know how to fix it. help?
If you mean that the iPod does not appear in iTunes then:
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Then try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7 -

Brand new iPod Touch 4G won't reconnect to WPA Enterpise wifi network
I have a brand new iPod Touch 4G. Wifi connection at home, where I have a WPA2 "personal" network, works great. However, at the office, I have a WPA/WPA2 Enterprise network. The network is not hidden, but the only way I can connect to it is via the "Other..." option, because I need to specify WPA Enterprise. This means I need to type in the network name, my userid, and my password to connect to it.
The problem is that after being asleep for about 15 minutes, the iPod is not able to reconnect to the network. When the iPod awakes, it does not automatically connect to the network. When I go to the Wi-Fi Networks setting, I can see the network name in the list. If I click on it, my iPod says, "Unable to hoin the network xxxxx". If I click on the (>) next to the name, I'm given the option to forget the network, which means that the iPod remembers the network, but somehow it can't connect to it. My option is to "forget" the network and re-establish it by hand. Obviously, this is not acceptable.I know WEP is bad, but the other thread implies that some iPods/iPhones running iOS 5.01 show WEP Enterprise as an option. It seems to me that my iPod has a different wifi chip in it, which is why it's broken, even though my iPad running 5.01 works. Maybe the new wifi chip does not support WEP Enterprise? It does offer regular WEP though, so I'm still confused.

IPhone 5s won't sync music from iTunes
I have an iPhone 5s that is less than a year old. For the past month now I have not been able to sync music from my computer onto the phone. I can transfer music and playlists and apps etc from my phone to iTunes on my computer but not vice versa. I have managed to sync the music to my iPad 1st Gen with no issues which is funny considering it's a much older device.
I can still download songs on my phone from the iTunes app perfectly fine it's just getting music from my computer to the iPhone which I'm having trouble with.
I decided to update both my itunes and iphone to the latest versions/iOS but neither has made a difference.I had to delete all my playlists on the phone. Then I synced it with my iTunes/music and it finally placed my new music back on my phone.

I've been trying to download some games to my son's iPod touch. I have several now in my iTunes library and have synced the iPod many times. They still do not show up on the iPod.Also, when I click on the purple iTunes app on the iPod it says that it cannot connect. I have no idea what to do!
To fix the cant connect load up the iTunes Store or page that displays the error then go to settings > general > date and time
Turn off automatic
Set the time for a month into the future
Go back to iTunes should work
Switch auto back on and time will fix and store will continue to work
About the syncing I really have no clue are you sure they are selected to sync under the device and apps. -
Brand new iPod Touch - not recognized by my computer or iTunes
I just purchased an iPod Touch today and it isn't showing up in My Computer or iTunes. My USB port is working because it recognizes other devises. I checked my USB port in Device Manager and it says Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller. I even uninstalled iTunes and installed it again. I'm just sick ... I have read everything I can find that might work, but nothing does.
If anyone has a suggestion for me, I would really appreciate it.
MarthaThanks, Alex. The link you gave me says that there should be a Apple device listed with my USB's and it is not. I did find the driver USBAAPL.SYS in the Windows\System32 folder\drivers. Should it be somewhere else to work??? The Mobile Device Service is there and is started. I am completely iPod ignorant, but I did have a shuffle sometime back that worked just fine.
I appreciate your help. If you have any other advice, I would appreciate it. -
HT1386 iPod Touch 5th Gen not sync music on iTunes
Hi,
Have just bought an iPod Touch 5th Gen.
When I sync with iTunes I get my podcasts without any problem but I do not get any of my music. It claims "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including ..., were not copied to the iPod Touch because they could not be found"
I am using iTunes 10.7.0.21 and ipod touch is version 6.0.1.
Thanks
MikeGo onto iTunes on your computer and go to your music and right click them and delete them.
When your done, go to iTunes store --> purchased (it's on the side on the right) -> music and click on the cloud.
OR
On your iPod, do iTunes app -> More -> Purchased -> Music -> look for your artist and tap the cloud. -
Brand New iPod touch 4g won't connect to youtube
Hi, I just got my iPod 64 GB Touch yesterday. I have it hooked up to my home wi-fi and I can use Safari, but cannot access anything else....youtube, facebook etc. I'm very frustrated!
I've seen posts about checking the date on my iPod, and I have done that, and the date is correct. What else can I do????
Thanks in advanceUGH!!! Here I go again!?!? I did nothing since last night to my iPod and now I can't get on internet/youtube/facebook, etc!
SO FRUSTRATING! I want to throw the thing!!!! I am wondering who else out there is having wi-fi issues as well, can you just comment and say "I am too!" or something like that!
I really don't want to restore my whole iPod again! I've only had it since Monday, and it is only Wednesday. I can't be restoring the whole thing nightly just to enjoy it!
Ugggh, I am so frustrated! It shows that I have full bars for Wi-fi in my home. Other wireless devices in our home are working...... -
It has happened twice now after only two days. I connect it to iTunes and it restores, and then after some use it will start to react very differently and slow, not function properly. Then when I restart it says it needs to connect to iTunes again and be restored. If this happens again, what should I do?
Some Data may have become corrupted and if you are Restoring from Backup it is being put back into your Device.
try a Restore as New...

Brand new ipod touch will not sync?
Bought a brand new ipod touch. Tried to sync to iTunes on my computer. Checked all music in library, clicked sync, ipod says it is syncing, computer says sync is complete, but there is no music on the ipod. Have repeated process a dozen times. Have tried automatic sync and manual sync. Have disconnected, reconnected. Have restarted both devices and tried again. No error message, gigabytes show nearly nothing used up, on the computer and on the ipod, even after it says the sync was successful/is complete. Argh, help!?
Hi jen,
When you say all of the Music is checked, do you mean checked in the library? When you hook up your iPod to the computer, you also have to make sure that the "Sync Music" box is checked on the Music tab for the Device Profile....
Cheers,

As I've said, brand new iPod touch. I only synced it Friday night, put some music on it. This morning tried to connect to iTunes and got a message saying the pairing record was missing? Computer isn't recognising it either, but it charges off the computer just fine. Have tried everything including changing USB port, rebooting, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes twice, literally everything I've found on forums. Anyone help me out here? I'm so annoyed I could nearly cry.
Anyone able to help with this?

Brand new iPod touch having syncing problems
I bought a brand new iPod touch 4th generation to replace my 3rd generation one. When I first plugged it in, almost everything synced over. After I noticed my notes, calender, photos, and previously saved wallpaper photos didn't transfer over, I synced my iPod again. The second time, the notes transfered over but not the rest of the stuff. I tried to manually sync photos. Now, my iPod won't sync at all with the message "Cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." popping up. If I go into wall papers or simply photos, the main library is just a black screen with a scroll bar. It also says the iPod is up to date. Please help.
I'm scared to completely restore because I don't want everything to wipe from my computer.If you are connecting to a hub discontinue doing so and try connecting directly to your computer and see what happens.
