Can't sync my Ipod after reinstalling Windows

I have reinstalled my OS (windows 7, 64)
After connecting and authorizing my Ipod I can't get access to the files I have on my Ipod. I have not saved the previos Media library. Now I can't either download files to my device nor delete anything I have.
What should I do? Reset the Ipod? Then how can I copy all the files on it?
Thank you

I'm having this exact problem I got the Wifi update last night before I went to sleep woke up everything was fine I decided to to sync my Ipod tonight on my computer and let it Charge while I did a few things...unpluged my ipod to run to the bathroom and have a cigerette and went to change from Pandora to my Library and all but my most resent purchases were GONE! I'm so mad right now that I want to toss my ipod through the wall...

How can I sync the ipod touch with windows 7 64 bit

How can I sync the ipod touch with Outlook on windows 7 64 bit?

I'm having the same problem with Windows 7, iTunes has been spotty about recognizing my iPod Touch. Now that I've updates Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (June 2011), It won't complete a sync or a restore at all on either of my Windows 7 computers.
I have gone through every troubleshooter action recommended by Apple Support, and have not been able to improve the situation at all.
I took my Touch to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store after trying and failing to complete a restore while troubleshooting, and it restored just fine from a Mac. Unfortunately, it now gives me an error meesage (Incompatible device) half way through an attempted sync, or iTunes simply freezes.
I even tried removing the Windows SP1, but that was a mess, as my display went all whacky and iTunes crashed immediately upon startup.
The Windows 7 OS ***** in general, particularly with compatibility issues, and not just for Apple products.
Does anyone know how to remedy this situation?
I'm so frustrated and have wasted so much time on this issue that I'm going to throw it all out the window!
HELP!!!!!!

I can't sync my iPod after upgrading to iTunes 7 - Help!

I'm running an Intel 20" iMac with all of the latest software updates applied.
My iPod is a 30GB iPod Photo (4G) running software version 1.2.1.
I upgraded to iTunes 7 last night. Since then, I can't sync my iPod. Here's what happened/happens...
I installed iTunes 7. On first run (iPod disconnected) it checked for album art and ran through my library to determine the zero gap playback info. That all happened successfully.
When I connect my iPod (which is set to auto update), it recognizes it, and show the status page (also shows up in "devices" in left pane) and immediately a small window pops up with the text "Updating library on 'Evan's iPod'". The progress bar gets to somewhere between 30-70% and then hangs.
I left it running all night and it never finished. My only option was to Force Quit iTunes. Once I did, my iPod was still fine, and had all my music on it, just nothing new.
I've tried rebooting my computer and iPod, to no avail.
I would try reformatting my iPod, except that you can now (seemingly) only do that through iTunes (as opposed to a separate updater as in the past). Since iTunes locks up as soon as my iPod is connected, that doesn't help me much...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Evan
Intel iMac 20" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Ok... I just tried connecting my iPod directly to a USB port on the computer rather than via the USB hub I was using and everything is fine. Odd, but I'm happy now.
Thanks,
Evan

Can't open PSD file after reinstall windows 7 64 bit

After reinstalling windows 7 stopped opening some files PSD files. I try to open them with Photoshop version 6, it does not work. I tried to open them on the laptop, same garbage. Tell me what the problem is. And how to fix it.
Thank you.

Perhaps these files were corrupted. I can not say how it happened, but it is quite possible. And the files are no longer open, immediately after reinstalling windows? Or not?
If so, it is quite rare in my opinion. You are very unlucky. Try reinstalling photoshop. Then check these files were opened or not. If not. Then the only option is a special software. I would use on your site this program
http://www.photoshop.recoverytoolbox.com/
(it is not free but is very good and is not expensive. But in the future you will immune from such situations. )
As well you can learn more about your problem here:

How can I sync my iPod with a Windows 8 PC?

I just got a new Windows 8 PC and want to sync 2 differnt iPod Touch 4G. When I choose to sync the Music, I get a message about erasing everything and will sync with what's on my PC. However, the only music showing up in iTunes are some recent purchases. All the previous purchases and songs copied from CDs are not there. But, I can look on the hard drive, and the songs are all there. Some are MP3s and others are MPEG-4's.
I have backed up one iPod and hten restored from that back-up, then tried to Sync, but I continue to get the message about erasing the iPod. And iTunes is still only showing the recent purchases. I have tried transfering the MPEG-4 songs to iTunes, but it won't let me!
Another problem is that I have an iTunes account and my son has one. How can I sync and have hte iPod pull the content from the correct account? I don't see how I can sign in to iTunes and have a choice of which account to use.
Thanks.

Reconstructing library from iPod after reinstalling Windows

Hi - this is my first post, so if I digress from expected forum etiquette I apologise.
I recently had a computer crash and had to reload from scratch. I have been following the manual solution to recover my music back from my iPod posted by MacMuse here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=797426.
All went according to the instructions until this point:
"File menu \ Add folder to Library \ find that Music folder copied over from the iPod"
The files had copied from the iPod to my hard drive in less than half an hour, yet after I selected the backup folder to add back into iTunes nothing appeared in the library, even after leaving it running for 3 hours.
As an experiment, I found that I could copy successfully an individual track by selecting "Add file to Library" rather than "Add folder to Library". However, as there are 49 folders, each with about 70-80 tracks, this would be extremely labourious. Can anyone suggest why adding the whole backup folder appears not to be working.
Please save my eyes from monitor strain !!
Jan Langford

Have you tried the drag-and-drop method of adding the music back to iTunes? At one time there was a version of iTunes that had trouble with File/Add Folder command, but drag-and-drop worked (sorry, can't remember the version but it was early iTunes 7). If you have the latest iTunes, perhaps the problem re-surfaced? In any case, try drag-and-drop on one of the smaller folders and if that works try it on the complete folder.

Tried everything but can't restore bookmarks backupfile after reinstalling windows

I made a backup of my bookmarks. Then I reinstalled Winodws 7 on my computer.
When I tried to restore my bookmarks, I can't open the file.
The errormessage is in dutch
"Verwerken van reservekopiebestand is niet mogelijk" / Processing of backupfile is not possible.
I tried all the solution that I found on this support website like deleting places.sqlite files and installing the Places Maintenace.
I I open the backupfile with a text editor it begin with:
"{"guid":"jZA4MLgD-mzq","title":"","index":0,"dateAdded":1350157318368000,"lastModified":1367407220439000,"id":1,"type":"text/x-moz-place-container","root":"placesRoot","children":[{"guid":"xDTdGjb-d5u3","title":"Bladwijzermenu","index":0,"dateAdded":1350157318368000,"lastModified":1409465069063000,"id":2,"type":"text/x-moz-place-container","root":"bookmarksMenuFolder","children":[{"guid":"6p4qE9dwt7yf","title":"Recent aangemaakte "
Please, can somebody help me to solve my problem.

Dear Saurav,
I've got just today the time to try your solution. Thamk you for your reply.
I am not sure if I understood you correctly.
This is what I have done, I changed the beginning of the file to:
{"guid":"root________","title":"","index":0,"dateAdded":1350157318368000,"lastModified":1367407220439000,"id":1,"type":"text/x-moz-place-container","root":"placesRoot","children":[{"guid":"xDTdGjb-d5u3","title":"Bladwijzermenu","index":0,
It doesn't work, could you one more time have a look at it ?
Thank you.

Sync problem after reinstalling windows

Last week I had Windows XP with the latest version of iTunes and my iPod could sync without any problems. But after I installed Windows 7, even if I have the same iTunes version, it won't sync anymore. I even tried a reset on the iPod and reinstalling iTunes, nothing works. I don't even get an error message. All it says is this:
The iPod 'Vicky' cannot be synced. An internal device error occured.
The iPod 'Vicky' cannot be synced. A folder was specified instead of a file.
The iPod 'Vicky' cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (0xE8004006).
The iPod 'Vicky' cannot be synced. There are too many files open currently.
Another one with a duplicate file, but I can't get it to appear right now.
It's always a different one. And sometimes iTunes even crashes and I have to reopen it.
What should I do?

have chosen to manually manage my iTunes library rather than copying all these MP3s to the iTunes folder.
Do you mean you checked *Manually manage music and videos* when the iPhone is selected? This is completely sepearate from managing yoru library. This allows you to manually manage the content on the iPhone.
Can I backup iTunes without actually making a backup of all my music files?
Yes. Copy /Music/iTunes/folder to the external drive.
My problem is that after reinstalling Windows my iPhone now wants to erase itself
So you have already reinstalled Windows?
If so, you cannot backup anything that is not there since you you already erased it when you reinstalled Windows.
BEFORE you reinstall Windows, you need to Deauthorize iTunes and backup /Music/iTunes/folder and all your media.

How to sync with Firefox sync after reinstalling Windows? I only have one device.

Just like this user I was syncing only one device. After reinstalling windows, I can't reconnect and I don't have the recovery key...
What can I do? To access my bookmarks, favorites, etc?
Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately I'm missing the recovery key and don't synch with other devices so I guess that means I'm out of luck...
Maybe this is something that can be added to the roadmap for future improvements. I don't see a reason why you can't get your information back after a reset if you've only got one device.

Cannot sync device after reinstall Windows

Cannot sync device after reinstall Windows 7.
It is fine when transfer from devices to itunes, but cannot transfer from iTunes to devices. Computer is authorize, same apple store login on both itunes and ipad, but it just wouldn't allow me transfer the apps.

Was this installed from the CD or from a download from HP?
With one system working and this one not working, it sounds like an issue with the software than anything else.
