Brand new iPod touch won't sync:

My girlfriend got a 8GB iPod touch for Christmas. I just plugged it into her Vaio (Windows 7) laptop to sync her iTunes (which is the latest version). The first time it froze some 4 songs into the sync. The whole computer was frozen & I had to force it to restart. Long story short, I went through this process numerous times, each time doing a complete reset on her iPod & starting from fresh every time on the iTunes sync. However, every single time, it freezes at a certain point of the sync process.
I am assuming this is a hardware issue, since I also have a brand new 64GB touch syncing as we speak on my desktop computer.
Anybody else having this problem & have a solution?

I'm getting the same problem. I thought it was something that went wrong during downloading, so I was going to try and re-download the songs. I don't know if that'll work though.

New iPod Touch won't sync with computer - have latest version of iTunes and Snow Leopard. Computer won't even acknowledge the iPod.

New iPod Touch won't sync with computer - have latest version of iTunes and Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Computer won't even acknowledge the iPod. Have restarted both, changed ports, etc. What's do I need to do?

My brand new ipod touch won't let me download apps.

My brand new ipod touch won't let me download apps. I put in my password and then get a screen that says "Download Now". I can't press the okay button to start the download. What should I do? All of the other buttons on the screen work, so I don't think it is broken.

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.

My new iPod touch won't sync?

I got a brand new iPod touch today for Christmas, and got it all set up and everything was working perfectly. About an hour ago though I went to add more photos to the album I have synced to my iPod. When I plugged the iPod in it said "Waiting for sync to start" up at the top for about 5 minutes, then a screen popped up that said, "Amy's iPod cannot be synced because the sync session won't start" or something to that effect. No biggy I thought, I googled how to fix it and a discussion on here suggested a backup and restore. Now sense I've done that, all my music is off my iPod and I can't put any songs on because it won't sync. Can anyone help me fix this problem? Thanks in advance!!

New Ipod touch won't sync with window's vista/itunes 9.2 - help!!

I charged my brand new ipod touch via my computer, have it plugged it into my computer's USB port, and Itunes acknowledges the device in the left hand menu BUT it automatically says "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. The network connection has timed out". The ipod will not sync with my itunes! I tried connection/disconnecting, turning the ipod on and off, and restarting the computer. No luck. What do I need to do? Please help, I was so excited to get the new ipod and now I can't use it! I have window's vista and I don't know anything about how to check or change computer settings that might be preventing the store from opening (it used to open, but I haven't tried in a while and I just downloaded version 9.2 today).

Welcome to the discussions,
make sure your computer is authorized in the Store menu and check your security settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

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,
GB

Brand new Ipod touch won't charge or turn on

I recently got a brand new Ipod touch. The first thing I did was plug it in to charge it. A red battery icon showed up on the screen. I left the ipod on the charger for hours and the icon was still red. It won't turn on either. I have tried connecting it to ITunes but the red battery icon just comes up whenever I plug it into the computer and it does not show up on itunes. I am new to the ipod touch so maybe I am doing something wrong, or is there a fault in the ipod??
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

First try reset.
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.

New iPod Touch won't sync reminders

New iPod Touch - iCloud not syncing contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks. Restarting apps or device does not help.

Are you trying to sync these with another iOS device? If so, are you signed into the same iCloud account in Settings>iCloud?
Also, did you check icloud.com from your computer to see if your data is there?

New iPod Touch won't sync to new Macbook Pro?

I'm getting really frustrated because Wednesday a brand new Macbook Pro and today I got a brand new iPod Touch. I connect it to my computer and it chimes, shows that it's charging, but doesn't show in itunes. The screen on my iPod is the "connect to iTunes" screen. I've tried restarting the iPod & computer, connecting & reconnecting the USB cable, switching ports, etc. I really don't understand why two new devices don't work together. Any help??

Which version of iTunes does your new MacBook have? You will probably want to update it if it isn't 9.2. Do that first. Also, restart your MacBook book. That will make sure that everything else is working properly as well (I'm thinking USB ports).
If your touch is still not recognized, you will need to make sure that Apple Mobile Device Services is running properly on the MacBook. See this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
And if you are close to an Apple store and tired of playing with it, make an appointment with Genius and take your MacBook and touch in and let Apple fix it.

New ipod touch won't sync with my iTunes

I am old time iTunes user who just got new Ipod touch. It starts to sync but at last step message is "Waiting for next stage" or something and it won't sync. I tried everything I can think of. I have lastes iTunes version. My old ipod still updates and syncs works fine.

Maybe this:
"Waiting for changes to be applied": Apple Support Communities
or
'waiting for items to...: Apple Support Communities
If not what did the message say?

New iPod Touch won't sync with iTunes as iTunes hangs

Hello,
I got a new iPod Touch yesterday after my old iPod Video died. Brought it home, connected it and all seemed fine until iTunes (that had worked flawlessly for years) just stopped (app stops responding).
I can kill the app and restart and it just starts over again, but never gets all the way thru sync.
I looked for a newer version but says I've got the latest.
Any suggestions? Don't suppose I can sync via WiFi?
thanks,
Chris

Hey Chris, I got this off iPhonenano.net
Occasionally your iPhone or iPod touch starts syncing when you connected it to your Mac only to drop out of the sync process. Even worse, once the cycle stops, it continues every time you plug your handheld in. This fix is fairly easy, but you won't find it in iTunes. You'll know know if you are suffering from this little headache because your iPhone or iPod touch will begin the sync process, but stops unexpectedly. iTunes will display a dialog warning you that your handheld stopped communicating and the sync process was cancelled. Here's how to break the cycle so and sync as normal again:
Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your Mac/Pc
After the sync process fails, launch iSync. You can find it in your Applications folder.
Select iSync > Preferences.
Click the Reset Sync History button.
iSync will display a dialog explaining what happens when you reset the sync history. Go ahead and click the second Reset Sync History button.
Quit iSync.
Now you should be able to sync your iPhone or iPod touch again without any hassles. Since your sync history has been reset, your first post-rest sync may take longer than you expect. Depending on how much information is stored on your handheld, that could be a few extra seconds or several minutes.
Hope this helps,
Arnie

Brand new iPod touch, won't regognize on my mac book pro please help!, brand new iPod touch, won't regognize on my mac book pro please help!

I recently bought I new iPod Touch 32gb, and It won't regognize on my computer (Mac Book Pro) I had the same problem with my previous touch but I shrugged it off as old age. any suggestions on what to do?

Well since it has not been charging on multiple computers i would take a look at replacing the usb cable. Something could not be connecting right or just needs to be replaced. If this has already been done it is starting to sound like a battery issue with the ipod.
Hope this helps!!
