First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. And then reboot your computer.
See if that fixes your problem.

  • HT4528 I can't seem to sync my iPhone with iTunes.  I keep getting this message:  iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an error occurred while reading from this device.  What can I do?

    I can't seem to sync my iPhone to my computer; I keep getting this message:  "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an error occurred while reading from this device."  I get the same message with my iPad, even though they all share the same account.  What can I do?

    This could be caused by a USB connection issue. Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to the Mac using the USB cable it came with. Also, try disconnecting all other USB devices.
    If you haven't already try resetting the iPhone by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo as described here:http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743

  • Hi, my iPod touch has been unable to sync since downloading the new cloud software.  It says: An error occurred while restoring this iPod (-34)  So my music is not on it.  it doesn't have 3G so the cloud is pointless anyway.  Music is all I use on it.

    Hi, my iPod touch has been unable to sync since downloading the new cloud software.  It says: An error occurred while restoring this iPod (-34)  So my music is not on it.  The apps are still on it.  It doesn't have 3G so the cloud is pointless anyway.  It just said it was a software update, I should have avoided it.  Music is all I use on it so help me please!

  • I had been listen to itunes radio on my computer and now it comes up with the following message"An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your internet connection, or try again later???? I have reset cache and it still isn't worki

    I have been listening to iturnes radion on my computer for months. now i get an error.
    "an error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service. Check your internet connection, or try again later".
    I have reset the cache but nothing seems to help. Any help???

    Somebody suggested clearing the Store cache.  I don't know why that would affect the radio.  Seems to have not worked for some, worked for a few or maybe they imagined it.  Many other posts about this if you browse the forum.
    This is happening to some people some of the time in some places, but then not affecting people in other places, or in the same place at different times.  You try to guess what is going on.  Hasn't happened to me.  Maybe it's my iTunes 7.5, or maybe it's luck of the draw since I never use iTunes radio.

  • HT4847 Just used ICLOUD and backed up everything on my IPAD2 except ITUNES which is synced with my laptop, but cloud says backup was only 263mb  how do I know that all of my mail, game apps , photos, and all other apps was backed up?  And how do I update

    ICloud backup on my IPAD2 only says 263mb backed up, did it include all apps?

    None of your iTunes downloads are included in a backup, neither to the cloud nor on iTunes - an iCloud restore would redownload what it can from the store (e.g. apps that are still in your country's store, and if you haven't changed countries since buying them), an iTunes restore would pick them up your iTunes downloads from the relevant part of your iTunes library (Apps, Music etc). Only the apps content/settings are in the actual back up - you can see which apps that you are backing up to the cloud via Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > device name
    If you haven't already done so then you should copy any iTunes downloads that aren't in your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and take your own copy of any important documents/photos - as long as you've set their apps to backup to the cloud then they should be included in that, but it's best to have your own copy as well.
    You could also take a backup on iTunes (File > Devices > Back Up) - that should take up a similar size as the cloud backup does (as it doesn't include any of your iTunes downloads or the contents of the Music and Videos apps). After you are happy that the update has gone through ok then you can delete the backup (though ideally you'd take a regular iTunes backup as well) via the Devices tab in Edit > Preferences in iTunes.
    Emails are not included in a backup, only the email account's settings are. Also photos that were synced from a computer are not included, nether are the contents of the Music and Videos app.

  • I am trying to sync my old ipod but it say i will lose all my songs.. is this correct?

    will i lose my old music and vids if i synce?

    Yes. Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time.  It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library.  If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library.  So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • I had to reboot my operating system and I am trying to sync my ipod touch but it says it is associated with another library

    Anyone help?

    If you reinstalled the operating system on your computer the iPod thinks it is a new computer/new library.
    Or was there a computer glitch that erased the files that previously recognized the iPod on your computer.
    In any event, if there is a backup on your computer (go to the Devices tab in iTunes' preferences) you can restore your iPod from backup and resync your stuff to the iPod.  The location of the backup file on your computer can be found in this article:
    iPhone and iPod touch: About backups
