Can't sync photos to iPod Touch

Downloaded 4.3 to my iPod Touch today. I'm running 10.5.8 on my MacBook. Now it won't sync with iPhoto. I keep getting the message, IPod "Touch" cannot be synced. The required file can't be found. I don't know what this means or what file it can't find. Please help!

Planb77, Thank you for your response. I trashed the cache and tried to recreate it. I synced my iPod Classic with no problem. I have 80GB on it and only 32GB on the Touch. I let all my pictures and a movie download to the Classic. I don't want the movie or all, just some, of my pictures on the Touch. The photos will not sync with the Touch at all. Any help will be deeply appreciated!
PS-Everything else syncs just fine.

How can I keep photos on iPod Touch from looking like color negatives?

How can I keep photos on iPod Touch from looking like color negatives?

You don't have to keep your photos in iPhoto to sync to your iPod according to Apple's website which states you can sync from folders in other locations:
"Syncing Photos from a Mac
To sync photos from iPhoto or a folder on your Mac:
1. Connect your iPod to your computer and open iTunes.
2. Select your iPod in the DEVICES section of the iTunes Source list.
3. In the main iTunes browser window, select the Photos tab.
4. Select the checkbox labeled "Sync photos from" and then choose either iPhoto, Aperture, Choose Folder, or Pictures, from the menu.
* If you choose iPhoto, select "All photos and albums" to copy all of your photos in iPhoto, or "Selected albums only" and select individual rolls or albums you want to include.
* If you choose Choose Folder, navigate to and select the folder of photos you want, then click Choose. Select "All photos" to copy all photos in the folder, or choose "Selected folders" to sync particular subfolders.
* If you choose Pictures, choose "All photos" to copy all photos in the folder, or choose "Selected folders" to sync particular subfolders.
5. If you want iTunes to also include the full-resolution versions of your photos, select the "Include full-resolution photos" checkbox. To access full-size photo files, be sure to enable your iPod for disk use.)
6. Once you have decided which photos you'd like to sync, click Apply."
Hope this helps!

Can't sync playlists from ipod touch to new computer

Can't Sync Playlists from iPod Touch to New Library
I just upgraded from an old Pentium computer to a new Dell XPS 18 running Windows 8.1. Downloaded latest version of iTunes to the new computer, then successfully transferred library content from the old computer to the new one via the external hard drive method. All material -- iTunes purchases, music ripped from CDs, a movie, even MP3 files purchased long ago from another source -- transferred successfully; everything plays on the new computer just fine.
My problem is that the "old" playlists didn't transfer over. After connecting my iPod Touch to the new computer, I verified that the iPod has the latest version of iOS, and its content (including the old/original playlists) displays in the window on the left-hand side of the iTunes screen. The really frustrating thing is that I can find no way to transfer the old playlists to my new iTunes library. I've tried dragging and dropping, selecting and pasting, and exploration of all the options menus, but no luck. Creating a new playlist in the new library and then clicking on the "Add To" button opens up a window into which to drop dragged songs/folders from the new library listing, but simultaneously closes the left-hand display window with all of my iPod's current playlists depicted.
I appear successfully to have backed up my iPod to the new computer, but all the sync menu options are grayed out. When I tried clicking on the Sync button, I got a warning that syncing to the new library would erase everything from the old library -- presumably obliterating my playlists with it. I have about a dozen different playlists, some of them with several hundred songs, drawn from a library of a few thousand individual items. Is there some means of importing/transferring the old playlists to the new computer/library, so that I don't manually have to drag and drop hundreds and hundreds of songs into a new set of playlists? Am I overlooking something really obvious or simple? Can I safely turn on Home Sharing and then import or paste the old playlists into the new computer's library. I don't think I'm too much of a Luddite, but given the size of my library I'm very leery of turning on Home Sharing (to the old Pentium computer) after I've successfully transferred over many GBs of content from the old machine to the new.
Thanks very much --

Can't copy photos from iPod touch to Mac

My iPhoto Library was on an external hard drive, which unfortunately my friend accidentally dropped, and it no longer works. Luckily, I have the photos synced to my iPod touch. Unfortunately, I can't get a way to import the photos onto my Mac., I've tried iPhoto, Preview, iPhone Explorer and Pod to Mac (which works, but I need to pay to copy them), but none of them are useful solutions.
Does anyone know of a free application that doesn't require me to jailbreak or buy it that I can use to get my photos from my iPod touch onto my Mac (it can be Windows as well as I have a Windows computer)?

Try this: iPhone / iPod Touch Backup Extractor
See if you can find the folder containing your photos if you extract the backup to a separate folder. The photos will be reduced in size, but that's better than nothing.

How can I sync my G2 iPod touch with iCloud Contacts

I have a second generation iPod touch OS 4.2.1.
My iMac runs OS X 10.7.3 and I have an iPad 3rd generation.
My Address Book Contacts and iCal Calendars are in iCloud. I have no On My Mac contacts or calendars.
I can sync my iCloud calendars with the iPod touch by choosing the iCloud calendars identified with my Apple ID in the iTunes calendar sync dialog.
The iTunes sync dialog for the Address Book, however, does not show my iCloud Contacts and only has a choice for syncing all contacts, which I have chosen.
My calendars sync to my iPod touch, but my Address Book does not.

This says that it can't be done.
But I am able to do it for my calendars in iCloud, just not for my contacts in iCloud.
What is the reason for the difference.

Can I sync my two ipod touches using the same iTunes account

I have two ipod touches and I am wondering if I can sync my legally bought digital movies from blu-ray discs that are on the cpu and registered, will it sync with two ipod touches with the same iTunes account.

The movies on the laptop are just digital copies. A lot of newer blu-ray movies come out with the blu-ray and a digital copy for the cpu as well. Thanks for responding.

ITunes 9 no longer syncs photos to ipod touch

has anyone seen this? after "upgrading" to iTunes 9, the photo tab works fine, you can select photo folders to copy to the iPod touch, but when you sync it doesn't actually copy any photos to the iPod. Help!

ok this is really weird. what i have discovered is that iTunes thinks that no matter how many photos are in a folder, that there are only 41 photos in it. any folder i choose in itunes to sync photos from, it says "41". even if there are 101 photos in the folder, itunes thinks that there are 41. why would it do that? any body have a clue? this is driving me nuts! i have deleted itunes, deleted every last file associated with itunes including everything i could find in the registry, re installed and it STILL does it? where is it getting that info from? i am about ready to wipe my machine and start over from scratch but there must be a reason it is doing this. any suggestions??

How can I sync my current iPod touch to a new computer?

I am in need of some assistance. I had my iPod Touch synced with my computer, but my computer died and I cannot fix it. I bought a new computer and put iTunes on it, but it tells me that if I want to sync my iPod with it, it will have to erase everything I have put on my iPod. I have been adding things for the past 3 years and I do not wish to lose everything and put nothing on it like iTunes is suggesting. Does anyone know of a way to put what I have on my iPod onto my new pc? Please help!

Huh?
You can sync to any computer you like. You can sycn to your new computer. You have simply failed to keep your content safe.
Apple assumes that you will do the very basics of owning a computer and maintain a backup copy of your computer.
The only issue here is that you failed to do the basics.
Very sorry.
Transfer your itunes purchases as I described earler.

New buyer question: can I sync my new iPod Touch in the Apple Store?

I'm heading to Florida in 5 days (I live in the UK), where I'll be buying my iPod Touch (well, I'll hang off as long as possible to try and catch a price-drop or upgrade after 11 July).
However, it's looking unlikely that I'll have my laptop with me, so I won't be able to sync up to my iTunes library until I get back home to the UK.
Do you think the staff in the Apple Store would sync and register it for me, so that I can at least use the wi-fi etc. until I get home? I don't want any music or videos on it until I get home, so I don't need anything like that.

You could ask.
They may let you plug it to register it so you can use it.
I doubt they would let you sync it since that would put the music from the computer you are connecting it to.

How can I sync my old ipod touch apps to my new ipod touch

I have an ipod touch 3G and just got an ipod touch 4g, I want to get the apps with their history (such as my calendar and golf scores) on to my new one.
But apparently I made a mistake when I registered my new touch. Is there any way I can sync my old apps on to my new ipod touch?

Set the new one to be the same name as the old one and it should restore everything on to your knew one.
