Hi, I've got a new iPod, it's the 4th Generation and when I put the iPod onto the laptop to sync it with my iTunes it doesn't recognise the iPod for me to then sync it...
What do I need to do?
Thank you
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:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

When I try to sync my iPod touch it comes up with a message saying "iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later". I have reconnected and tried again later numerous times and it hasn't worked! Has anybody else had this problem and knows how to fix it??? Help me!
Try here:
iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert

When I connect my iPod Touch to a new laptop (Macbook Air) the "Info" tab won't appear and therefore I cannot sync it with my new iTunes. How can I sync this iPod with the iTunes on my new laptop?
There is no Info tab in Mavericks
if you use OS X v.10.8.5 or earlier. If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

How many different computers can I sync my iPod with? My laptop crashed and was completely wiped clean and this was the machine that my iPod synced with so I don't know if it will be counted as a "new" computer when I sync my iPod.
You can sync with onee at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one. -
I repeatedly receive an error message when trying to sync my ipod touch with my itunes library with my new computer which reads, "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized on this computer." However when I try and authorize my computer I always receive the message that this computer is authorized. What am I doing wrong? I'm missing about 100 songs as a result of this error!!
See:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
Could the items be purchased by another account? -
HT1386 Why am i unable to sync my ipod ever since i updated to iTunes 11.1.4?
Ever since i updated to the new version of itunes 11.1.4, I'm unable to sync my ipod because it does not appear on my devices. Was wondering if i could get any help on that?
Follow step 5 in this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538. Updating the driver should do the trick.

I cannot sync my iPod with the Playlists that I want. For example, I have all the songs in my Classical Playlist checked, but after syncing it does not appear on my iPod. Also, there are no opportunities to change syncing options. None are listed in the left column of my iTunes screen.
Hello Jefflo64,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with syncing music to your iPod. For issues like this, I recommend resyncing the music to your iPod.
If you are syncing automatically, resync content to the iPod by unchecking "Sync Music" and clicking "Apply," then checking "Sync Music" and clicking "Apply" again.
You can find the syncing steps in the following article:

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I have a new computer and need to sync my iPod touch. I get a message telling me that all existing apps and their data will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library. Does that mean I lose all game progress?

Yes.
What you need to do is Transfer the iTunes Library from your Old computer to your New computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Backup iTunes to an External Drive

An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes. -
Why do I keep gettin a message when trying to sync my iPod nano to mitunes this ipod is synced to another library, I have only ever had this one iPod and it's always been on the same PC
Sometimes a computer glitch wil cause that problem. You just have to restore the iPod and resync.

I have an iPod touch that I often use to manage different events for work. I have been able to sync the events on my calendar from my MacBook Pro to the iPod touch successfully using wifi. What I really need to do though is sync my iPod calendar events to my MacBook Pro calendar. Is this possible? How do I set this up? It would be a huge help if I could transfer the events on my iPod calendar to my computers calendar. I currently have the wifi sync option on and have turned on the sync calendars option in iTunes. Thank you for your help!
For resetting the sync history on a Mac running Lion - 10.7.x if needed.

If you see the Sync menu in the menu bar, skip to step 3:
If you do not see the Sync menu in your menu bar, skip to step 7.
Hold the Option key on your keyboard, then click the Sync menu in the menu bar:
if you see the Sync menu but you are unable to open it, skip to step 8.
Choose Reset Sync Services.
Click Reset Sync History.
Test for the original issue. If the issue persists, or if you are unable to open the Sync menu, follow these steps:
In the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
Open Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type or paste the following command on a single line:
/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
Press Return.
Quit Terminal after the operation has completed (when Terminal returns to the command prompt with a $). -
HT1386 Syncing iTunes with iPod issues...
When I sync my iPod touch with iTunes it does not organize my music correctly. For example under one artist only one album will be shown when actually I have three in iTunes. But when I look under the albums category they all appear. How can I fix this?
There aren't any issues with the new iTunes. You need the most recent iTunes to sync your iPod

HT1386 Syncing iPod with iTunes
My husband is completely computer illiterate; however, he loves to listen to music on his iPod. He accidentally deleted some albums. He originally had four albums by one particular artist. There is only one left on his iPod Touch although when I go into iTunes, connect his iPod to my laptop and click on his iPod, I see the other three albums but not the one that is actually on the iPod. Know that sounds weird but I have been working on this for days now and am considering serious drink! All other albums seem to be on the iPod and working fine except for an album by another artist which has disappeared off both iTunes and his iPod.
I had not updated his iPod for a long time; and when I first connected it to the laptop to sync and get the albums back, it updated. I have synced several times and I have tried to manually add the albums, all to no avail. Can anyone help save my sanity? Thank you!Sync your iPod and iPhone in iTunes
