How can i make my ipod touch sync with itunes again?

recently, my whenever i plugged in ipod touch to itunes on my desktop or laptop computer it does not sync nor shows that itunes has recognized it. How can i fix this?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

How can my ipod touch connect to my Smart Car USB Port?

You link has you turn on disk mode on the iPod. iOS devices (iPod touch, iPhone and iPad) do not have disk mode.

How do I make my iPod classic work with iTunes 9.1

How do I make my iPod classic work with iTunes 9.1?

You are correct in some of your assertions, Limnos but, if I were to follow Apple's wishes, I would have to purchase the latest and greatest Apple product every month! I refuse to do that. I understand that my G4 is old but, it does what I need it to do. To answer your question though, I purchased the iPod classic as a refurbished unit, about 5 years ago and had it replaced three times, since then so, there is no way for me to know how old it is.
From my knowledge of how the Classics work(which is extensive.) It is basically a hard disk. There should be of performing a low level format, plug it back in and the G4 should recognize the ROm and automatically search for the correct software associated with that version of iPod and load it but, Apple will most likely no longer carry the software on their servers anymore!(surprise,surprise.)

How can I get my ipod to work with itunes?

When I connect my ipod classic into my new computer it seems that itunes does not recognize it. How can I get my ipod to work with itunes? I'm afraid to disconnect my ipod because the display is saying Do Not Disconnect.

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

I upgraded to a 4G today from a 3G... how can I get my phone to sync with Itunes now

I purchased a new phone today... how can I get my 4G to sync with my Itunes so my music and apps will transfer onto it. Do I restore my back-up or set-up as a new phone (these are the two choices I am given)?

How can I make my iPod touch 4g faster??

My iPod touch 4g is really slow and laggy most of the time and I don't know how to fix it. Also my cnet app closes randomly sometimes and, I don't know why. Can you please tell me how to make my iPod touch faster and less laggy. Thanks

Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
Next
- 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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Please help! I can't get my iPod to sync with iTunes on my PC?

This problem is really frustrating and I would really appreciate some guidance because I'm completely stuck. I have been trying for many hours over the past few days to get my iPod touch to sync with iTunes on my PC. When I plug my iPod touch into my PC, iTunes opens up and this message pops up:
"This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install iTunes again."
I have completely removed iTunes from my PC several times and reinstalled it several times but this message continues to pop up and its really annoying because I can't put my music onto my iPod. I have followed instructions on the apple website which were to temove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel and then restart the PC and reinstall iTunes again. I've tried this several times and it simply didn't work and the error message continues to pop up when I plug my iPod into my PC. I really need to know what is the software required so that I can use my iPod with iTunes on my PC. I can't explain how much I'd appreciate help with this. Thanks in advance.
Do I need to install software on my iPod or on my PC? :S

Two ideas, but what version of Windows? what versions of iTunes? did you manually remove what the uninstaller left behind as outlined in Apple support article?
Did you upgrade to iOS 5 or not? what version? what about your iPod Touch model?
Backup its backup. Backup content.
USB is directly connected to a motherboard port?
Have you had to restore the iPod?
Also, many have pointed finger at Apple Mobile Service needing to be restarted first, then launch iTunes and then connect iPod.
Create a new Windows partition and use that to do a clean install and for testing. Always works.
Some security software. Microsoft Security Essentials does an excellent job, free, works.
I have not read or seen "the req'd software is not installed" mentioned by others, but could easily miss (new to iPod + iTunes myself and there were so many threads when iOS 5 came out).

Why wont my ipod touch sync with itunes, and how can I fix it

Key Facts:
-I have an ipod touch (model number MC008LL)
-It's probably running the same iOS id did in the package
-It won't sync (and more importantly update to i0S5)
-It's not a failed/slow sync, the option to sync as well as all other options under "Devices" is Grayed out
-I am running iTunes 11.0.4
-the Belkin cord I am using charges the ipod, and I think it was the one I used to sync it before.

You have a 3G iPod and those can go as high as 5.1.1. What exactly happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and try to update via iTunes? You need iTunes 10,5 or higher on the computer.
After you get it updated see if syncs.

How can I make my iPod touch 2G appear under "devices with removable storage"?

My ipod always appears under "portable devices" under "my computer". I use Windows 7. I want to know why it does not appear under "devices with removable storage". I manually manage its contents. Please give any suggestions that may help. Thanks!

- Because via My Coputer yu can only access the the photos (DCIM folder) taken by or saved to the iPod. The iPod touch (and iPad and iPhone) do not have a disk mode like other iPods)
- You need a third-party program like SharePod to access music w/o iTunes

HT1212 How can I restore my iPod touch 4G with white on the display when it has a passcode on it and I know it butI can't enter the passcode on it?

My iPod touch has white on the display. I need to restore it, but I can't enter the passcode on it. Is there any other way to type the passcode and restore it when I know the passcode?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
