Download itunes 12.0.1 and now it wont let me sync

Download new itunes update and now it wont let me sync. Keeps saying I need 26gb of free space which it didn't say before I downloaded the update. It doesn't make sense. It keeps saying:
The iPod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library. (additional 26gb required)
This makes no sense because before the new itunes update there was no problem with me not having enough space. I have 5gb of free space now and I had 5gb of free space before I downloaded the itunes update. Nothing should've changed. And I should not need an extra 26gb of space. How do i fix this problem so I can my ipod normally again.

On another post someone posted this. It's a way to fix the problem.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost     
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings                           
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.

  • I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet "

    iTunes told me to delete my backup folder when I was having problems syncing my phone to my computer. After that it wouldn't work at all. After trying and trying I deleted iTunes when it said "iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer"and now it wont let me install it again and keeps saying "itunes cannot be installed because the file cannot be found in the cabinet ". What the **** itunes? Nothing is working!!
    I wanted to update my iTunes so I could sync my phone to my computer and update my phones software so I can use the latest apps that need a 4.2 or higher.
    This is not fun for me so if anyone knows what I can do to fix this please help. Is it possible to download the "cabinent file" with the lastest iTunes?
    Thank you.

    My phone is the iPhone4 and my computer is a Windows Vista

    I doubt that corrupt files are the problem. It is more likely a space or permissions issue. Is the hard-drive on which iTunes is stored close to capacity? Do you (or the particular user profile you have logged on with) have the requisite permissions to save to that drive?
    Otherwise, do you get an error code? This might point us in the right direction.

  • Downloaded IO5 to my 3gs and now it wont work

    I just tried to download IO5 to my 3GS and now it wont work, boots up in Japanese or maybe arabic and wont let me do anything, was working OK before the download, Itunes says "no sim card present"
    Please help

    Keep trying. The update server is overloaded. You will eventually get through and your update will continue where it left off.
    I got the error message about 12 times before it finally connected and continued.

    Either get the Apple ID and password from him to activate the iPod
    iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
    or have him remote remove the device from his account
    Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    or return it for a refund.

  • I'm trying to download iTunes to an external harddrive but it wont let me change to this drive. WHY?

    I'm trying to download iTunes to an external harddrive but it wont let me change to this drive. WHY?
    There isn't enough room on my laptop and I have deleted all traces of previous iTunes

    I think you've misunderstood.
    iTunes ONLY works on the C drive.  There is no moving it.  End of discussion.
    The MEDIA can be house on any other drive (internal or external).
    Install iTunes correctly using the default options.
    Once it is installed and working correctly with everything on the C drive, close iTunes.
    Follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364 to move the iTunes media folder.
