Error syncing iPod Touch to iTunes

Sorry if this has been posted somewhere in the forum previously:
For some reason when I click under "Device" on my iTunes, to pull up the information for my iPod, it will not give me any product information (such as space available, the tab for applications, etc...)
I am trying to add apps I downloaded to the iPod, but I don't know how else to go about doing it, or how to get my device screen to come back up. I tried just dragging/dropping apps, but it will not allow me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

2.2.1 is not the latest available for any ipod touch.
Is yours the original ipod touch?
If so then:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Clean up your PC, download and re-install iTunes 8.1 and try again. Make sure you copy your library before you do all of this.

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.

i had photos from a recent holiday which i had taken on my ipod these are very valuble to me and i really want these back !! PLEASE HELP !!!!!

DId you sync you iPod on another computer? If so the photos are gone.
Unless you synced/backed up your iPod after you had taken the photos and the backup still has the photos, the photos are gone. You can go to iTunes>Preferences>DIvices and see the date of the backup.

Thks

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:

Does anyone know if Playlists created in iTunes are automatically synced to your ipod when you plug it in, many thanks

Only if iTunes is configured to do that. See:

Does iTunes see the iPod?
