Having trouble connecting iPod Touch with iTunes 8.2

I have a first generation iPod Touch 16GB, before the recent 8.2 iTunes update (or it may have been 8.0, I tend to ignore those annoying 'please update now messages')my iTunes worked properly, and the Touch would sync whenever I connected it.
Now when I connect the iPod to my computer it no longer shows up in iTunes, the computer (running Windows Vista Basic) recognizes the iPod is there, and the iPod charges properly. iTunes itself however is oblivious.
I've tried completely reinstalling iTunes like the support page suggests, but the problem persists, it is getting quite annoying now since I cannot get the new 3.0 OS update or put new music on.
Can anybody help?

I have the same problem, but mine won't even take a charge from the computer, or my docks. I have to plug it into a wall wart usb charger and then it works fine. Can't get my computer to recognize/sync it since the "upgrade" to 8.2. The only responses worth a crap on this topic say to just be patient because it is now a known bug they are working on. IMO I wish Apple would stop acting like MS and stop releasing stuff that hasn't been properly beta tested. This glitch has occurred for thousands of users, and any basic cross platform testing process should have revealed this problem in the first 5 minutes. Yet ANOTHER embarrassing POS from the "new" Apple.

  • Trouble Connecting Ipod Touch to Itunes

    Hey Guys
    Having a bit of trouble with my new Ipod Touch I bought over the weekend... hoping you could help me out.
    Basically my ipod will be recognised by itunes but when it tries to sync I get the error message
    "The ipod cannot be synced. The disk could not be read or written to."
    After discussing it with Apple Support, I connected the device to another computer, which connects with the ipod and syncs fine. After looking in the device manager and seeing that the ipod is not appearing, they are claiming that it's an issue with the windows driver for the usb2 port and theres nothing I can do and to call windows support.
    The strange thing is, when I buy songs by wifi on the itunes store via the ipod touch - when I connect the device that song will transfer back to itunes no problem.
    Anyone have any ideas? I've updated itunes and ipod software, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and deleted temp directories.

    Hey burntfilm82,
    Does the iPod touch work correctly in another user account?
    This article describes howto setup another user account and has some good troubleshooting tips.

  • I lost a lot of tracks while syncing my ipod touch with iTunes. I have managed to get some of them back with a free download, but iTunes will not let me dowload whole albums which I have paid for. It does recognise that they have been purchased. What do n

    As I've already said to get this far: I have lost a lot of tracks while syncing my iPod Touch with iTunes. I have managed to get free downloads of some of the single tracks, but when I try to download entire albums the system informs me that I have already purchased them and a pop-up window informs me I can get them back from my "Purchased" file. I would not be trying to dowload them again if they were anywhere on the iPod, would I? The other problem seems to be that with single tracks I don't know before I hit the purchase button if I have picked it from the right album and I have had to pay for it again.
    I feel that I have been totally ripped off by iTunes and, apart from ranting on this forum, I don't seem to be able to let my feelings known. It's like a guy from my local record store coming round and nicking my albums and telling me that it's tough!
    The point here is folks, that it was syncing two Apple sites which caused the loss of these tracks and from what I've read elsewhere this is a regular fault. And please don't tell me that it's my fault for having a pc. Apple shouldn't sell a product for pc, when it doesn't work on pc!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

    I did not sync my iPod Touch with iTunes and I have forgotten my password and now it is locked.  I have the recovery mode screen at "conect to iTunes", but iTunes is not recognizing it.  How do I unlock it?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    - Yes. If you sync with another coputer. the contents of the iPod will be replaced with those on the new computer.
    - You can redownload most iTues puchases b:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - You can transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - If yo want to retain app data like saved games, do the following after all the apps and other things on in the iTunes library:
    ---- Connect the iPod t the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup

  • Unexpected "Connect iPod touch to iTunes" screen

    I powered off my 2G Touch before flying to Argentina; then powering up again on arrival brought up a new-to-me "Connect iPod touch to iTunes screen", which no amount of button presses would get past.
    Luckily there was a PC where we were staying, and with iTunes installed, and with USB, so I was able to get going again, esp. since I'd disabled automatic syncing, though now everything was in Spanish. But,
    Q1: does anyone know what this screen really means?, and why it might have come up? [a wifi router was nearby]
    Q2: would a hard reset [hold sleep/wake and home buttons for 10 sec] worked to get past this screen?

    I have the same problem, getting the 'connect' symbol or icon while travelling. I just got off the phone and an unsatisfying conversation with Apple support. Apparently, this is a "rare?" problem that is caused when there is some kind of software failure on the iPod Touch, and that there is no way to get around it except connecting to iTunes on some pc somewhere, ideally your own PC and iTunes. This happened once before for me but I was home and just plugged it in. The iPod recovered, connected and synced with no error message at all. The rep at Apple support said there is no log or trace that can be retrieved, so the mysterious iPod Touch software failure will remain unknown. He said I could take it in for warranty service, but who knows if they could reproduce the problem. Maybe the new iPhone/iPod Touch software version will run better (or worse). ps, I tried all possible combinations of hard reset on the unit, but nothing else works to recover.

    Try:
    - 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.

    im having trouble connecting ipod  to denon avr x1000

    Those converters like the AsanteTalk are notorious for not re-acquiring Printers that drop out for any reason.
    Get everything else powered up, then cycle off the AsanteTalk, count slowly to 10, then power the AsanteTalk on last.

  • I am not able to sync my ipod touch with itunes.

    Hi,
    Whenever i try to sync my ipod touch with itunes. I get the an error "The ipod could not be synced because the sync session failed to start".
    The sync process could not be started.
    I am facing these issues from the day when i upgraded my ipod touch to ios 5.0.1
    itunes version on my PC: 10.5.1.42
    Operating system: Windows XP SP2
    Please let me know how can i overcome this problem.

    Take the old hard drive and try one of the data recovery programs like Data Rescue 3 and others.
    Apple didn't in the past support re download of purchased material.
    And there are so many ways to backup data, clone a drive, archive, from the free to the built-in to the more expensive.
    I keep the OS on one drive, media files and data on another drive, and a good 1.5TB drive today costs $109. Paragon has backup, clone (makes a full boot drive, not an 'image' such as Acronis or Ghost) so you can use it almost like a daily or weekly mirror.
    Depends on the software and data lost and cost of recovery programs and services, but it may be possible. Put the drive in a USB case perhaps and a new drive to recover the files to.

  • How to connect ipod touch to itunes on Mac OS 10.4.11

    My desktop (Tiger Mac OS 10.4.11) will not recognize my ipod touch in itunes thus preventing downloading of music to the ipod. The ipod is recognized in iphoto and is brought up automatically when attached to the desktop. The connection is via usb directly to the desktop. Are there any ideas on a fix for this problem?

    If the iPod has iOS 4.2 or greater you need to upgrade the operating system on the computer. To find version go to Settings>General>About>Version
    IOS 4. to iOS 5 requires OSX 10.5.8 or greater
    iOS 6 requires 10.6.8 or later
    If you have a 4G with IOS 6 10.5.8 may work. See:
    ios 6 and macosx 10.5 on a pre intel...: Apple Support Communities
    OSX 10.6.8 requires a Mac with an Intel processor
    To purchase the OSX upgrade disks you have to call Apple since they are not listed in the on-line store.

  • 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".
