Can't Sync New IPod Touch

I have just purchased the IPod Touch. I have an 80 gig classic. I can't get the touch to sync with my ITunes library. I keep getting the message "The Ipod "Ron's Touch" cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to. I have called support but to date I have not been able to get a solution to this problem. I can sync the Touch to other PC's so I know it is not a problem with the Touch. I am running an EMachine with XP Media Center Ed. Version 2002 SP2. It is an Intel Pentium D CPC 2.66 ghz. with 2 gig of RAM. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

My husband just got a new iPod touch 16 GB. He uses an HP Pavilion running Windows XP Home Edition (Service Pack 3) and the latest iTunes. Last night he tried updating his iPod touch (for the first time) and kept getting an error window (couldn't connect to the update server... check your network settings...). I figured it was because we were on Wi-Fi so I had him plug directly into one of the router's ethernet ports. It still didn't work. I did some googling and found a thread about re-checking the automatically detect LAN settings box in the internet options/connections. After that we were able to download and install the new software (even though it seemed to take a really long time). But anytime we checked for updates we would have to re-check the LAN settings box to get it to connect.
We tried syncing the iPod again after updating the software, but kept getting another error window (disc could not be found). We get the same error window when we try restoring the iPod touch.
Does anyone know what this means or how we can fix it? He just bought the thing and is having problems already (he is incredibly frustrated). Please help.
(I just realized how old the posts in this forum are... I may try posting elsewhere)

  • Can't sync new ipod touch to laptop itunes

    I'm trying to sync songs saved in itunes on my laptop to my daughter's new ipod touch.  It just hangs on Step 2 of 6.  And it seems the itunes store won't properly load either on the laptop.  I think that's part of the problem.  So I downloaded the new itunes software but that didn't fix the problem. Please help.
    Thanks.

    Probably because Apple's servers are overwhelmed on Christmas morning.

    The other responder gave you a program that will transfer stuff from your iPod to your new computer.  You can transfer iTunes purchaces to your new computer by:

    After you move your stuff to your new computer you will have to let iTunes erase your iPod and then sync with the stuff that is now in your iTunes library.  You will loose app data though.

  • 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!!!!!!

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

  • Can I sync an iPod Touch that is using a different MobileMe email?

    Howdy! I have a MacBook Laptop, with separate user accounts for each family member (ie, the list on the Login Window). We also have a family pack for MobileMe, with separate emails.
    I'm getting an iPod touch, and want to set it up with my husband's MobileMe account.
    Can I sync the iPod touch to the MacBook while I am logged on to my user account and iTunes? Or does he have to sync under his own log-in account?
    I'd like to be able to share the apps that I have already purchased... I know they go to my iPhone and iPad within my MobileMe account just fine, but I wasn't sure if getting another iPod touch with a different email within our Family Pack would be allowed to share the apps.
    Thanks for your help!

    That should work, just don't synch the email account with your account, set it up manually on the iPod Touch.

  • I can't sync my iPod touch 1st generation with macbook pro

    I can't sync my ipod touch 1st generation with macbook pro.
    It recognises that its my ipod and says sync completed but there is no music or content on the ipod from my itunes library.

    Thanks Chris.  Have tried this but does not work.  I restored the ipod touch to original settings and erased all data a few weeks ago too as thought this would help but it hasn't.  Any advice?

  • HT1689 Can I sync my iPod Touch with my older iPod Nano without a computer?

    Can I sync my iPod Touch with my older iPod Nano without a computer?

    Keep in mind that you can't drag and drop (transfer) songs from one iPod to another using iTunes either.  The music you want to add from one iPod to the other, must be stored in your iTunes library first.

    Apple will most likely exchange it. The one you receive will be refurbished.
