Cannot sync my ipod touch

i recently got a laptop for college and i wanted to transfer all my music to it from my desktop. so i downloaded a ipod to computer tranfer program. i tried transferring from my ipod touch and everytime i tried the program would freeze on me. so i thought it was maybe just a glitch. so i had a ipod video just laying around so i just ended up just using that ipod and it worked fine.
now that i have all my music on my laptop, i have added a few more albums to my library. i plugged in my ipod touch and itunes read it fine and it showed under devices. so i went to the music tab on my ipod and clicked on Sync. i choose my playlist i want to sync, then i hit Apply. as soon as i it apply, ituens freezes and goes to Not Responding. i have tried multiple times, ive tried restarting my laptop. the weird thing is that i have no problems at all on my desktop computer.
both of my computers are running Windows Vista. the only media i have on my ipod is music, apps, and a couple photos (i read that podcasts can sometimes cause this, but i dont have any). any help would be much appreciated. thanks

The backup file is locaed here:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Make sure that show hidden files is turned on.
The DVD problem is an iTunes problem, not an iDevice problem. Try the iTunes forum.

  • Cannot sync my ipod touch to new-installed itunes.

    Hi,
    Last week my computer got a problem. and i sent it to the service to reformat the programs.
    And when i want to sync my ipod touch to the new-installed itunes, it said *"The ipod "ipod touch" cannot be synced. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation*".
    What am i supposed to do?
    Thank you.

    You can only sync with one computer. To change syncing computers:

    I cannot sync my ipod touch, nor my iphone to my itunes anymore. I would  like to go through all of the steps troubleshooting listed in this article, but will I lose my playlists?

    Your playlists are contained in your library.itl files in your user area iTunes folder, or on the external drive if you keep your whole iTunes folder there.  The steps outlined in that article will leave that unaffected.  Still, it is always a good idea to make a complete bootable clone backup of your computer before undertaking the type of procedures that article suggests, just in case you delete the wrong thing.

  • I don't understand how to sync my iPod touch to my ipad

    That is because you cannot sync the iPod Touch to the iPad. It's not possible to connect the two devices in any way at all for any reason whatsoever.
    if you want to download the same music that is on the iPod to the iPad, you can do that in iTunes in the purchased tab. If you want to have the same apps on the iPad, go to the purchased tab of the App Store and download the apps again. You can do the same with books in the iBooks app.
    If you want to sync, Notes, Contacts, calendars, you can so that in Settings>iCloud - as long as you set up an icloud email account and turn those features on in the settings.
    Perhaps, if you were to explain exactly what you want to do, we might be able to offer specific instructions.

    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:

    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

  • TS4062 I cannot find my IPOD touch listed on ITunes (there is no "Device" menu option - any advice?

    I cannot find my IPOD touch listed on ITunes (there is no "Device" menu option in iTunes- any advice?). Using IPOD touch (32gb) and connecting with a laptop using Windows Vista. Downloaded the latest ITunes and it wiped all my music. I was able to recover the music purchased on Itunes (but not my CD downloads). I am having difficulty syncing my IPOD now and all of the help guides tell me that I need to use the "device" options to fix it but there is no "Device" options in my ITunes ribbon.

    Just the old fashioned way, like if you lost your wallet.
    Apple will not help.
    If it is in your home and wifi is on and connected you can call it with FaceTime, Skype or other app that will play a notification sound and listen for it.
    Report to police and change the passwords for all account used on the iPod
