Help syncing iPod touch 4g?

My iPod touch 4g won't sync with my new iMac. It worked well the first few times, but now it says that it can't sync because a session can't be started with my iPod and/or that another sync session was already running. Halp.

Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

  • 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.

    Not Charge
    - See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    and/or
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IMac freezes when syncing iPod touch

    My iMac freezes (spinning beach ball) when I attempt to sync iPod Touch, using iTunes 10.5.  Otherwise, iMac, iTunes, and iPod Touch work fine.
    iPod Touch 3rd Gen., IOS 4.3
    iMac 21", new in Dec. 2010
    Snow Leopard

    Oh another thing:
    It does step 1 ok (backing up) but when it starts downloading apps (step 2) is the problem. The first few apps end up downloading but iTunes freezes like 5 times during the process... After a few apps comes the white screen and everything... Once the iPod is removed and iTunes it closed, the background comes back and everything  goes back to normal. Nothing is erased from the iPod either.
    Thought that would help.

    Your Touch is working correctly. Currently, without unsupported third party hacks, the Touch has NO disc mode. It will only show up in iTunes.
    how do i put programes and games in my ipod touch
    Right now, you don't. The SDK is scheduled to be released in Feburary. Then developers will be able to write programs that will be loadable.

  • When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer"  most of which are years old and many are recurring events.  I'm afraid to proceed

    When syncing iPod touch to MacBook, I have selected to sync only events newer than 360 days. Yet I get message that sync will change 8000 events on "this computer"  most of which are years old and many are recurring events.  I'm afraid to proceed with sync. 

    Having the same problem here. As a first time mac user, Apple has certainly made a bad first impression.
    For me, the issue seems to occur when transferring files between computers that are connected to the same access point (when transferring files from wired computers on the network there is no issue). My vista laptop and every laptop I have tried has worked perfectly fine with this access point so I am 100% convinced it is the mac. Basically when I copy the files, after about 100mb, I am unable to access anything on the local network or internet until I restart Airport. The weird thing is that even though I am unable to access anything, the airport utility says it is connected. I might also note that the wireless signal strength is full.
    If I can't get this figured out in a few days, this computer is going back to the store where it came from and I will officially label myself anti-mac. This type of issue is just unacceptable for something so main stream.

  • Cant sync iPod touch.  comes up with "cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (21.6MB required, 304.8MB available)."  I am so confused.  I have more than enough space even on PC.

    That message is telling you that you do not have enough stgorage on the iPod to accomodate all the media you are trying to sync to the iPod.

  • 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 Windows Live Mail

    Is there a way to Sync Ipod touch's information (calendars, contacts and such) with the new Windows Live Mail through Itune 8?

    No.
    Windows Live Mail stores contacts and calendar info in a database format in file with an extension of *.edb. iTunes syncs with Outlook data stored in a *.pst file.

  • How to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library computer crash without wiping out "library" on ipod touch

    how to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library lost in computer crash, without erasing ipod touch

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:
