I have no clue what you mean by "all the different methods."  Here are my suggestions.
First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Ipod Touch does not want to turn on after I Restored from Backup to recover notes

    I was trying to restore a note in the notes app and followed these instructions
    If you synced your notes from iPhone while these notes were still on it and you haven't synced again since they were deleted, you may be able to recover them by restoring your phone to your last backup (the backup includes notes). This will revert your settings and data to those contained in the backup (not just notes) so be sure to save any more recent data prior to restoring). To do this:
    1. Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    2. Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    3. When this finishes you can go back to iTunes>Prerferences>Devi ces and re-enable automatic syncing.
    That you may recover the notes.

  • My ipod touch does not want to sync with itunes

    My ipod touch ( 4 th IOS 5 firmware 5.0.1  8gb ) does not want to sync with itunes on my computer while on another computer be synchronized
    HELP please !

    What?
    What do yo mean it does not want to sync?
    Are you trying to say it does sync with one computer but not with another????? If so, this is by design. All iDevices are designed to sync with one and only one computer.

  • HT201263 My ipod touch does not restore properly and comes up with an unknown error (9). What do I do?

    My ipod touch does not restore properly and comes up with an unknown error (9). What do I do? I have tried restoring it a few times and it keeps coming up with this error. Yet on Itune on my computer, it tells me that the ipod software is up to date. ipod screen is just showing the itune logo and a usb connector.

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • Ipod touch does not want to start

    when you boot it up it shows the apple logo and and then a loading sign after a minute or so, then it shuts down.
    Any help would be greatly appriciated!
    Thanks

    HI slicrain,
    You could try restoring the ipod in recovery mode. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 will explain how to do this. Keep in mind when you restore the ipod it deletes every thing off the ipod. if you have been syncing the ipod on a regular basis with your computer, your computer may have made a back up from the last time you synced. If this is the case after restoring the ipod it will offer apply the back up to the ipod.

    What happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and restore viia iTunes?

  • IPod Touch does not sync any info

    hey there, my problem is that my iPod Touch does not sync anything from the "info"-section shown in iTunes, neither Contacts nor Calendar nor Mail Accounts...
    In contrast it's no problem with my iPod nano (1. gen).
    i hope that someone can help me. thank you and excuse my shabby English. _
    everytime i try to sync Contacts and so on, i get a message saying "iTunes cannot sync 'Contacts' to the iPod, because the Sync-Server can't sync the iPod" (i tried to translate the originally German message...)

    Im having this problem as well and it really defeats the purpose of having a calendar on here if it won't work. Mine seems to only want to try to sync one of my 6 calendars I want to carry with me, but even then that one calendar doesn't update all events. It's very selective/random.
    I also find that the odd photo album is randomly ignored. But the iCal sync is important for me. Why Apple just doesn't allow a direct link from iCal allowing multiple calendars is beyond me. If the iPod Touch is running a copy of OS X anyway, why not just make the Calendar app basically identical to iCal? And make it work!

  • Ipod touch does not synch calendar or notes with my Windows Vista  PC

    Ipod touch does not synch calendar or notes with my Windows Vista PC. I have calendar and notes entries in my Outlook calendar, but they do not synch with my Ipod touch. They used to work fine, but stopped around 2 weeks ago. I connect my ipod to i tunes, but the "info" area of itunes is not allowing me to tick the boxes to synch calendar, outlook, or notes.

    Hello Welcome To Apple Discussions
    plug in your ipod and select the info tab and look for calender sync (something similar to that) and click the program your using for your calender.
    try that
    Thank You

  • Ipod touch does not appear in tunes

    My ipod touch does not appear in itunes when I plug it in.  I have tried everything I can think of, including erasing all content on the ipod, starting over, restarting the computer, etc.  When I restart the computer, sometimes iPHOTO comes up automatically, but iTunes shows no device connected.  What should I do next???  HELP!  (I just installed Snow Leopard OS, if that might have something to do with it)....

    I have the latest iTunes version installed.  I tried all the USB ports.  I will take the pod home and try it in one of our computers there.  Other things plugged into the USB ports work fine.  Any idea why it would recognize the ipod as a camera, but not appear as an ipod in itunes?
