I can't get my ipod touch to sync to itunes in my new computer

I've recently purchased a new computer, and installed itunes onto it. I've plugged in my ipod touch and itunes does not respond to it at all. no sync options, or anything. please help.

Before you do sync, copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.  Otherwise on the initial sync it WILL wipe the content of the iPod and replace it with the blank library from the new computer.

  • How can I synch my ipod touch gen 3 to itunes on my new computer

    I was unable to save anything from my old laptop & would like to transfer all music on my ipod to the itunes on my new computer. I have authorized it as a home share computer, although I'm not sure if that means anything for this situation. Thank you in advance for any help I can get for this.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connct the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and then clicking on Backup
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • How can I get my iPod touch to display all the artwork on my computer?

    Hi,
    I have an iPod touch 4th gen 32 GB with iOS 6.1 on it.  I have trouble getting it to display all the album artwork that I have on my computer.  Not all of my music has it, but about 90% of it does.  Is there any way I can make it display everything that's on my computer?  I have iTunes 11 on it and it is a Windows 7 computer.  Thanks!

    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 the screen blacks out or 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.  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.

  • I can't get my iPod Touch to connect to iTunes or my computer, help!?

    I have the latest version of iTunes, an account, ect. And when I plug my iPod Touch into the computer it doesn't register/show up at all. My computer doesn't show a mobile/removable device, or anything with Apple, iPod, or anything of the sort. Neither does iTunes.
    My iPod touch is an older model, but I don't know which one exactly. It was given to me by my sister in law, and she reset it to factory settings so it's a completely blank slate and I can't do anything with it other than turn it on and off.
    I've tried EVERYTHING on this site : http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/itunes/
    and even checked through some suggestions about drivers and things here in this help forum. I can't follow the steps because the drivers, or the device aren't showing up on my computer at all. Can someone please help me out here? I don't want to have this be a paper weight, I can't afford to buy a new one or anything.

    try connecting the device in _*recovery mode*_, then restore from your backup.
    also, make sure [_*Apple Mobile Device Service*_|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567] is installed and started.

  • I can't get my ipod touch to sync since downloading latest iTunes update

    It says "Sync In Progress" on the ipod screen and within itunes, but the sync never completes. What can I do to fix this?

    Well, first you should [Restore|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414] your iPod Touch, if the problem persist, try uninstalling iTunes and installing it back. If however you can't solve the problem, try going back to the previous version of iTunes [8.0.2|http://itunes.en.softonic.com/download-version/itunes-8.0.2].
    Hope this helps,
    Darie.

  • How can i get my ipod touch to sync with my mac & itunes?

    I've already restarted and reset ALL of my settings in my ipod touch. I even erased all of my music, if that helps. I' ve updated my itunes to the latest version twice. I've restarted my mac numerous times. My ipod touch will not sync at all. It won't even show that it's charging when i have it plugged into my mac. I've also used 2 different USB connections (wires) & none of this has done the job. Help please.

    Try here. Do not forget the Additional Information topic.

  • How can I get my iPod Touch 5G recognized in iTunes 11.0.2?

    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1386 I can't get my iPod Classic to sync with iTunes.  My iPod Classic is up to date, and i have downloaded the latest version of iTunes.  When trying to sync, it gives the message "The iPod "Brad D's iPod" cannot be synced because it cannot be found."

    Do I have to un-install and re-install iTunes or do I have to restore my iPod Classic (I don't want to lose everything in my music library)?

    Clicking sounds from an iPod that has a hard drive for storage is not a good thing.  It usually means the hard drive is faulty.  That is the likely reason for getting an error during the attempt to Restore.
    If you use a Mac, you can try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
    If it goes into Disk Mode, connect the iPod and instead of running iTunes, run Disk Utility.  Does the iPod appear in the Disk Utility sidebar?  If it does, select the iPod device in the sidebar, not the volume indented below the device (if there is one).  Go to the Erase tab.  Set the Format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Name does not matter.  Click on Security Options and choose to write a single pass of zeros over the entire disk.  This serves as a good "stress test" for the iPod's hard drive.  Back on the main window, click Erase.
    This takes longer than a regular erase, but you should see steady progress.  If it errors out, or stalls for a LONG time (like hours), the hard drive is likely to be faulty.
    If it completes successfully, quit Disk Utility, run iTunes and try to do another Restore

    2. Navigate to "iTunes & App Store"
    3. Tap Apple ID:
    4. Tap "Sign Out"
    5. Sign in to your account.
