If you mean that teh iPod does not appear in iTunes:
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
See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Next see if this helps determine cause

Syncing iPod Touch With iTunes

Recently encountered an error message when connecting iPod Touch to my Powerbook. Error says "iTunes cannot sync iPod Touch because syncing has been disabled on this computer." I get this error with two different iPod Touch's, a Gen 1 and a Gen 2. I cannot find any setting on my laptop where I have intentionally disabled syncing. Any ideas? Thanks.

Open iTunes first and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look for the check box "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".

Sync iPod Touch with iTunes via bluetooth

I would like to sync my "touch" with iTunes via Bluetooth. This would eliminate the need to plug in the USB cable each time I carry out this activity. Can someone explain to me why Apple has decided not to implement this? Will the next release of iTunes support this? Or, does it require some kind of a third part app to do this?

it's currently not possible. bluetooth on the Touch supports headsets only.
as for the future, only Apple knows.

Misleading warning message after syncing iPod touch via iTunes

I have a 2nd gen iPod Touch running iOS 4.02 and am using iTunes 9.2.1 on my MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.6.4
When I sync my iPod Touch via iTunes, by clicking the Sync button ( and without changing any settings on the iPod Touch ) I get the following strange situation.
In the middle of the sync process, the Sync button in iTunes is replaced by a Cancel button and an Apply button.
After the syncing process is completed, if instead of ejecting the iPod touch I select a different row in the Library column of iTunes ( such as Podcasts or Music ), I got a popup warning message that says:
"You have changed the settings for the iPod "iPod touch". Would you like to apply these changes?"
I am presented with two buttons labeled respectively: Apply and Don't Apply.
My question is: Snce I have not changed any settings on my iPod, but only have synced podcasts and music and apps (whatever has changed in iTunes) why am I being told that I have changed the settings on my iPod?

You've posted in the WRONG forum. You won't get any help here unless your question is about Apple's server hardware.

Welcome to the discussions,
did you already try to remove and reinstall iTunes and all Apple related software? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Is your computer authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?

Cannot Sync Ipod touch after upgrading to OS 3.0 (error 13001)

I got the error 13001 when I sync after I upgraded my ipod touch (2nd gen) to OS 3.0.
I tried to reinstall itunes and restore the ipod but the problem still cant be solved.
Some topics here said that it can be solved if you do not sync the song with over the sample rate 44.100 kbps. Some post said it can be solved if you create a new library.
It is okay for a few days, but the problem came back again and this time it cannot be solved by creating a new library.
It is ok when I downgrade my firmware back to 2.2.1.
So, I think it is the problem of the 3.0 firmware(7A341), but I want to use the OS 3.0.I know many people got this problem too.
I hope someone can help me and the people got the same problem.

I have seen one suggestion that disabling virus scanning during sync works. There seem to be quite a few hits on Google searching for ipod touch error 13001.
For a variety of suggestions here is a specimen hit:
http://www.ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=209966
I don't have a touch myself.
P.S. Which virus checker do you use?

You don't need to uninstall AMDS, just restart the service:
Windows Vista or Windows 7
Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Click the Windows Start button .
In the Start Search field type Services.
In the Programs section of the search results, Click "Services".
Select Apple Mobile Device and click Stop the service as shown below:
After the service has stopped, click Start the service.
After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.

TS4062 Cant sync Ipod touch. Itunes 11 cant determine apps on ipod.

Recently upgraded to Itunes 11 and tried to sync computer (windows vista) with my ipod touch. Started to sync then stopped with meassage"apps installed on ipod could not be determined". Would not let me drag and drop apps into home screen either, showed zero apps. I have 9 working apps on my touch. Can anyone help? Thanks.

You need to buy OS 10.5 or later. If you have an Intel Mac, you can buy 10.6. If you have a PPC Mac, you can find copies of 10.5 for sale on Ebay and Amazon.

Cannot Sync Ipod Classic with Itunes 11

After installing Itunes 11, I cannot sync my Ipod Classic. It has worked perfectly up until this version. Here are the options I like:
Open Itunes when... -- ON
Sync only checked... -- OFF
Convert higher... ON (128) (I have a LOT of music I like to fit on this little ipod)
Manually manage... -- OFF
Enable Disk Use... -- OFF
I have tried restoring the ipod and resyncing everything, but that doesn't work eiter.
I also got some errors about not being able to copy some podcasts (like 100 of them) when I tried syncing after restoring, but I have seen that before and just ignored it and it still gets stuck.
It gets stuck around song 5, I've left it running for two days and still no progress. Even checking "On this iPod" shows me that no songs have sync'd.
Help?
Robb

Update: More information and how I've temporarily solved this problem. I installed the new iTunes 11 on two computers when it came out both of which have the same specs. One was an upgrade from most previous version of itunes, the other was a new install. My idea was to move my library to my other laptop as the old one was running out of space.
I copied my iTunes library over to my other laptop, installed iTunes and started making adjustments like deleting smart playlists and turning off genius. My thinking was to see if i could get itunes to run faster on my other laptop. It did run alot faster with all the genius playlists btw.
I now have my music in two different locations; same everything minus some smart playlists. Long story short, my identical playlists that where not syncing did sync from my original laptop. so there is something different between my two laptops that is causing the sync not to work, again my guess is converting tracks to acc. Maybe the upgraded itunes has files that my new install itunes does not which allow conversion of songs to ACC.
Good news is iTunes now allows you to have multiple locations without deleting your iPod so I can retransfer all my music on my old laptop and keep the library on my new laptop. At least until Apple comes up with a fix.
Good luck, I'll drop more info if anything changes.

Error -39 when trying to sync ipod touch with itunes

Does anyone know how to fix this??? I am trying to sync pics to my ipod touch and this is what error comes up. The error comes up when just trying to sync the ipod to itunes?? any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Check this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
The origin of this error is that you are trying to sync with the wrong version of iTunes. However, in this case it might be indicating a corrupt file. Does it always stop at the same picture? If so, try deleting the picture from the folder and syncing again.

Manually Syncing iPod Touch With iTunes

On my old iPod Classic I had it set up where I could download music into iTunes and manually drag the album to my iPod. I can't remember how to set it up so I can do that with my iPod Touch. Right now it is syncing automatically and I don't want it to do that. I want to be able to load music from iTunes to my iPod and then delete them off of iTunes. but I also want them to stay on my iPod after I delete them from iTunes.

Check the Manually manage music box.

HELP Syncing ipod touch with itunes on pc

Once ive conected the ipod to the pc and start syncing it puts around 30-70 songs on then an Erorr message comes up, saying "canot read from or write to", the usual message that alot of people seem to be getting.
Just wondering if there is any fix for this or anything you can do to stop it from happening, done all the usual stuff reset, removal of itunes & re install etc. Im really losing my rag with it know and may take it back & get a refund. Any help much appriciated.

I've actually found something very strange happening with the iPod Touch. When I first got it, I was completely happy ... then something went wrong, I had to do a restore. After the restore I had a dimming backlight!! - Something which I'd never had previous to doing the restore. I think my iPod shipped with in-complete firmware (not visable to the naked-eye).
Anyway, to answer your question, I would do just that. I'd click on your iPOd Touch on the left pane in iTunes, and click 'Restore'.
See if syncing is fully 'restored' after this.
Hope this experience of mine, and this advice, helps you.

Problem syncing iPod Touch with iTunes 8.0.1

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help.
I have updated to iTunes 8.0.1, and since doing so my 16GB iPod Touch (with the 2.0 software) doesn't want to easily sync. On docking my iPod it starts to sync and then I get a message telling me that "An unknown error occurred (13014)". I'll eject the iPod and then re-dock it and eventually it syncs - slowly and maybe after a few times - but it does sync.
Is anyone else having these problems and if so, what have people done to resolve these?

Same thing just happened to me. Not only am I unable to re-sync my photos, but the photos that were in my iphone are all screwed up. I just posted under "Camera & Photos" hoping that someone would know how to fix this. I think our friends at Apple have done it AGAIN!

Cannot restore iPod Touch 5g: iTunes "Waiting for iPod"

SIDE NOTE: For a TL:DR, I've made all the important stuff bold.
I've been having this issue with my iPod Touch 5G where I cannot restore it no matter what I do.
This article, This article, This article, nor This article helped me.
When my iPod is not connected to the computer, it literally does nothing at all, no matter what you do. When you plug it into the computer, the computer recognizes it as an iPod, but it says "Serial Number: n/a", and will not display any info. I can tell my iPod detects button presses because I can connect it and disconnect it just by holding in the Power and Home buttons. After plugging it in, the bar at the top of iTunes says "Extracting software", then after that bar fills up it goes to "Waiting for iPod". It then says "Preparing iPod for restore", and then fluctuates between the last two, once or twice. After that, iTunes gets stuck on "Waiting for iPod", and stays there. The iPod, however, displays an apple logo with an empty progress bar beneath it. I took it to an Apple Store not too long ago, and they couldn't fix it. The employee there couldn't do anything more than what I've done. He said that my only option is to get a new one. I still haven't lost hope, though, because there has been two other cases where I've fixed devices where something like this has happened. It's just not working now.
Anyways, please help!
Sincerely, Alex.

- Try another cable
- Try another USB port
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Try on another computer
- Not clear you tried DFU mode and then restore
