I can't sync my ipod touch to itunes! help!

My ipod touch won't sync to itunes,is this happening to anyone else?

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Can't sync my iPod Touch with iTunes 9.1

I just wish I had not gone to iTunes 9.1 - anyway back? It crashes plus it won't sync my iPod Touch photos at all - none visible on my iPod Touch. Bad...
If anyway to reinstall iTunes 9.0.1 let me know!

Well no replies - but I found a site where I could download iTunes 9.0.1:
http://www.blogsdna.com/4920/download-itunes-9-0-1-for-windows-mac.htm
NOTE: If you have not kept a copy of your iTunes Library from 9.0.1 before upgrading to 9.1, then the 9.0.1 version cannot open the 9.1 version of the library. (That's one problem with backing-up everyday!!)-- Fortunately I also keep a 1 month backup on yet another external HD. Not a bad thing to do! So I didn't get my full current library back, but most- and I now have iTunes 9.0.1 which has not crashed- YES!

Can't sync my iPod Touch with iTunes, get -50 error message

Does anybody know what -50 means? This pops up when I first plug it into my Mac, and all it says is "cannot be synced due to an unknown error (-50). First thing iTunes tries to do is backup my iPod, then that message turns up. I tried upgrading to the latest iPod software (2.2.1, I think), which didn't help; I'm running iTunes 8.0.2 (I think; that print is light and really small under "About iTunes").
I have not tried anything like restoring the iPod yet-I wanted to check first before doing anything, and the other thing that I noticed is that I can't restart my iPod by holding down the Home key (according to Apple's own support page). I never get the red slider. Any ideas on that?
Thanks so much,
Kathleen

OK, I wound up going to my local Genius Bar, and here's what we did:
1) reinstalled iTunes ...still didn't sync
2) repaired disk permissions...same thing
3) created a new user account on my MacBook and checked to see if my iPod touch would sync then...it did
4) went back to my user account, re-restored my iPod Touch and deleted the iPod backup file...and then it synced. At this point, it looked like it was a corrupted backup file.
When I got home and hooked it up to let it finish syncing, I realized that none of my photos had been transferred to my iPod touch, so I told it to...and the -50 error came up again. Another round of restoring the iPod and deleting the backup file, then I told it to load my photos from the My Pictures folder, rather than from iPhoto (which was the original setting before all this happened)...and it was fine. So my guess is that something in iPhoto 6 is tripping up the iTunes software (or vice versa) and screwing up the backup/sync process. I'll continue to keep an eye on it and see if that holds.
Thanks to Ariel at the Genius Bar in the Apple Store at the Menlo Park Mall, Edison, NJ! You were a great help, and thanks for your patience!

I have Windows XP and can't sync my Ipod Touch with itunes. Gives error 13019. I did all the recommendations recommended, including unchecking the sync and resyncing all the music, but it came up again. No voice memos or videos checked. Help! Please!

Again, I went through the "fixes" recommended, but none of them have worked. Please help! I can't get any of my new music that I just bought onto my Ipod! It fails at the last second with that 13019 error code even after removing all the music and re-syncing. Thanks.

Thank you, but I did that. I de-selected and then re-selected but because the 13019 still won't allow the sync, all it did was completely delete everything on my Ipod! I now have no songs on my Ipod when at least before, I had all my songs but the new 12 songs! I'm freaking!

The other responder gave you a program that will transfer stuff from your iPod to your new computer. You can transfer iTunes purchaces to your new computer by:

After you move your stuff to your new computer you will have to let iTunes erase your iPod and then sync with the stuff that is now in your iTunes library. You will loose app data though.

How can I sync the ipod touch with windows 7 64 bit

How can I sync the ipod touch with Outlook on windows 7 64 bit?

I'm having the same problem with Windows 7, iTunes has been spotty about recognizing my iPod Touch. Now that I've updates Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (June 2011), It won't complete a sync or a restore at all on either of my Windows 7 computers.
I have gone through every troubleshooter action recommended by Apple Support, and have not been able to improve the situation at all.
I took my Touch to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store after trying and failing to complete a restore while troubleshooting, and it restored just fine from a Mac. Unfortunately, it now gives me an error meesage (Incompatible device) half way through an attempted sync, or iTunes simply freezes.
I even tried removing the Windows SP1, but that was a mess, as my display went all whacky and iTunes crashed immediately upon startup.
The Windows 7 OS ***** in general, particularly with compatibility issues, and not just for Apple products.
Does anyone know how to remedy this situation?
I'm so frustrated and have wasted so much time on this issue that I'm going to throw it all out the window!

Can I sync an iPod Touch that is using a different MobileMe email?

Howdy! I have a MacBook Laptop, with separate user accounts for each family member (ie, the list on the Login Window). We also have a family pack for MobileMe, with separate emails.
I'm getting an iPod touch, and want to set it up with my husband's MobileMe account.
Can I sync the iPod touch to the MacBook while I am logged on to my user account and iTunes? Or does he have to sync under his own log-in account?
I'd like to be able to share the apps that I have already purchased... I know they go to my iPhone and iPad within my MobileMe account just fine, but I wasn't sure if getting another iPod touch with a different email within our Family Pack would be allowed to share the apps.
Thanks for your help!

That should work, just don't synch the email account with your account, set it up manually on the iPod Touch.
enjoy your magic machine
