I can't sync my I-pod touch with my music on my pc

I have downloaded I-tunes to my pc. I hooked my connection cable from my i-pod to my pc to sync over wi-fi connection like it said to on my I-pod. When I go to I-tunes on my computer it pops up a warning message saying: "This I-pod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started."
If anyone has a solution to my problem, it would be greatly appreciated.

All you have to do is to create a playlists or perhaps a couple of them that you want to use to sync your iPod. After doing that, change your iPod preferences to sync only those specific playlists.

    You can only sync with one iTunes library. However, you can manage music and videos among different computers. See:

  • How can I sync my G2 iPod touch with iCloud Contacts

    I have a second generation iPod touch OS 4.2.1.
    My iMac runs OS X 10.7.3 and I have an iPad 3rd generation.
    My Address Book Contacts and iCal Calendars are in iCloud. I have no On My Mac contacts or calendars.
    I can sync my iCloud calendars with the iPod touch by choosing the iCloud calendars identified with my Apple ID in the iTunes calendar sync dialog.
    The iTunes sync dialog for the Address Book, however, does not show my iCloud Contacts and only has a choice for syncing all contacts, which I have chosen.
    My calendars sync to my iPod touch, but my Address Book does not.

    This says that it can't be done.
    But I am able to do it for my calendars in iCloud, just not for my contacts in iCloud.
    What is the reason for the difference.

  • How can I sync my new ipod touch with my itunes 9.2.1 itunes

    Ok I have got a mac mini running  os 10.4.11 at 1.25ghz 1 gb and have a new 4th gen ipod touch I can't sync it to my itunes 9.2.1 please tell me I can get this to work without paying any more out!!!

    Thanks Jim I thought I might have to upgrade software but to be honest I was looking at investing in a new Mac in the summer but wanted a cheap fix to get my thousands of tunes that i have bought from Itunes onto my new ipod touch Ironically I have a samsung Galaxy s2 I use for work which interfaces with my mac no problem... I find it very odd apple are treating there own customers in this way making me upgrade to interface with their own products!! Which after having macs for the last 20 years i am doubting my decision to carry on with my loyalty to a brand that is doing this!!
    Sorry not your problem.. thanks for the advise.

  • My I-Pod Touch contains an audible book, which I can not remove.  It does not appear in I-Tunes, and this takes up so much memory that I can't sync my i-Pod.

  • How can I eliminate an I-Pod Touch app?

    How can I eliminate an I-Pod Touch app? I want to eliminate a few but don't want to "restore" and lose all of them. Is there any way to trash apps one at a time?

    Go into itunes and delete the app then sync.
    Or if you just want it off of the iphone and not out of itunes, then uncheck the app in the applications tab in itunes.
    Or hold down an icon until they all "wiggle" then hit the 'x" in the corner. The app will come back when you sync unless you delete it from itunes or deselect it under applications tab.

    The BT profiles on the iPod do not support direct iPod-to-iPod use.  There are apps that support peer-to-peer gaming between iPods and maybe transfer like for photos.  Also see:

  • Can't sync playlists from ipod touch to new computer

    Can't Sync Playlists from iPod Touch to New Library
    I just upgraded from an old Pentium computer to a new Dell XPS 18 running Windows 8.1.  Downloaded latest version of iTunes to the new computer, then successfully transferred library content from the old computer to the new one via the external hard drive method.  All material -- iTunes purchases, music ripped from CDs, a movie, even MP3 files purchased long ago from another source -- transferred successfully; everything plays on the new computer just fine.
    My problem is that the "old" playlists didn't transfer over.  After connecting my iPod Touch to the new computer, I verified that the iPod has the latest version of iOS, and its content (including the old/original playlists) displays in the window on the left-hand side of the iTunes screen.  The really frustrating thing is that I can find no way to transfer the old playlists to my new iTunes library.  I've tried dragging and dropping, selecting and pasting, and exploration of all the options menus, but no luck.  Creating a new playlist in the new library and then clicking on the "Add To" button opens up a window into which to drop dragged songs/folders from the new library listing, but simultaneously closes the left-hand display window with all of my iPod's current playlists depicted.
    I appear successfully to have backed up my iPod to the new computer, but all the sync menu options are grayed out.  When I tried clicking on the Sync button, I got a warning that syncing to the new library would erase everything from the old library -- presumably obliterating my playlists with it.  I have about a dozen different playlists, some of them with several hundred songs, drawn from a library of a few thousand individual items.  Is there some means of importing/transferring the old playlists to the new computer/library, so that I don't manually have to drag and drop hundreds and hundreds of songs into a new set of playlists?  Am I overlooking something really obvious or simple?  Can I safely turn on Home Sharing and then import or paste the old playlists into the new computer's library.  I don't think I'm too much of a Luddite, but given the size of my library I'm very leery of turning on Home Sharing (to the old Pentium computer) after I've successfully transferred over many GBs of content from the old machine to the new.
    Thanks very much --

  • Can I sync 2 i-pods to same i-tunes without losing everything on the nano and having to restore it

    Yes.  There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, or iPhones, you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or account.  How you sync one iPod will not affect how you sync any other iPods you connect to it.
    It may be a good idea to see this article on managing multiple iPods with one computer.
