Did you already try this?
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Error 50: This error (and error -50) are timeout errors. Follow the steps for errors 13 or 14 above.

Contacts are part of the backup. If you did not sync after your have lost them, use the latest backup to restore from.
Contacts are also mirrored to the computer and should still be part of the info stored in your address book program.

My home computer recently went down . it was restored by an expert who put three peoples itunes libraries into one. now I cant sync my ipod touch because it is not paired. I also cant access most of the music without knowing exactly were it came from

my son , my wife and I all had I-tunes libraries off various i-pod touches and I phones. The computer crashed and the expert lumped all the songs onto one library in the administrator desk top of the refigured computer. Now we cannot access any of the music unless we know how to locate it, which could take forever with 311 albums. Also we cannot get anything to sync as I tunes will not pair because it doesnt recognise any of the devices. Any suggestions gratefully received

I cant sync my ipod touch, but i need to because i forgot my security passcode and cant even get on to my ipod

i cant sync my ipod touch, but i need to because i forgot my security passcode and cant get on to my ipod

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

- Transfer iTuns purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program lke one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right-clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from that backup. That should also get you the update.
- If in the USA, you can also redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

CANT SYNC MY IPOD TOUCH SINCE I JOINED MATCH

SINCE I SUBSCRIBED TO THE CLOUD I CANT SYNC MY IPOD TOUCH TO MY COMPUTER. I ALSO CANNOT PLAY SONGS IF NOT CONNECTED TO WIFI. HELP!

Hi,
Manual syncing of music in tunes match is not possible. All you music that has been matched, uploaded or purchased is available on your iPod touch.
As the music is in the cloud you can only listen to it when you have a wifi connection. You can pre-download tracks whilst you have a connection.
If you want to manually sync specific tracks or playlist, you can turn off match to manually sync and then turn back on match to allow you to access other tracks whilst you have a wifi connection.

I cant sync my iPod touch / What does setting up as new iPod do?

The other day, I first synced my iPod touch to itunes, didnt take very long. Then I tried syncing a CD and when it was half way through I tried to sync the songs already downloaded onto my ipod, but didnt see how. And today, I tried connecting my ipod, and it came up with 2 options: Restore from the backup, or set up as a new iPod. I wasnt sure whether the 2nd option would mean It would delete everything, so I thought of something else which was choosing the Sync to iTunes (what I did when I first synced my ipod) on the general page of my iPod, thus creating a new backup data. Though it still wanted me to choose from the 2 options so I seleted the new backup. The process took about 10 minutes - Which is a **** of a long time since I only wanted to sync some music onto my ipod I had already synced to this computer. After this, nothing changed. It still hadn't been connected to iTunes. This has really ****** me off. What will setting it up as a new iPod do? Will it delete everything or will it connect to iTunes as it is and enable me to sync music to my iPod?

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

I cant sync my ipod touch with my itune

After i connect my ipod to my laptop, i am unable to sync it.
Before that, i used energizer cable to charge my ipod touch.
My itune said that "This ipod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. run the itune installers to remove itune , then install itune again"
But the problem is i install tons of time it still dont work

Try downloading new version of itouch & if you cant, disable all antivirus, spyware, fierwall etc. Then try it. Another thing is open up itunes & on the top left corner, go to File & look for where it says, sync "----" iPod. Or try to go to File & click on Transfer purchases from "----" iPod.

I cant sync my ipod touch, it takes hrs to back up

I have been trying to unsuccessfully sync my daughters ipod touch for ages so I can put some more music on, however each time I try it takes hours to back up when I try to install the latest software update. I have tried not updating the software by clicking on do this later but it is still the same, the process has taken hours and in the end I turn it off as it obviously isn't working.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can do?

Sounds like you are using the automatic method of syncing. Use the manual method and check only the items yo what synced to your iPod. See the manual method included here:

Need help sync'ing iPod Touch (not authorized error)

I have an iPod Touch (about year old not sure if 4th or 5th Gen), iOS 8.1.2. I used to be able to sync everything fine with Windows ITunes on my old desktop, but when I got a new desktop I can't sync (more precisely I can't "Apply" updates to apps). When I go to the device's Apps tab on the left of ITunes interface, I click the "UPDATE" button on an app (Temple Run 2), it changes to "Will Update", then I click "Apply". During the sync it says
"The iPod "name" could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchased items that are not on this iPod. To authorize this computer fro items purchased from the ITunes Store, choose Store>Authorize This Computer."
I know this question has been asked by others, and I've tried many things including deauthorizing and reauthorizing, going into hidden files and deleting the SC Data folder, signing in with another of my ITunes accounts, using the "Manage Deivces" section of My Account, etc. None of it works. (Note: In Manage Devices, I see the iPod in question, but I renamed recently and it still shows as the old name in "ITunes Manage Devices" - I am afraid to delete it and add it back under the new name because I don't know what good or bad would happen if I do)
So, is there another idea out there? I would do a hard reset on the iPod, but I am afraid I;ll lose all the data for each app, especially game progress.
Any ideas to troubleshoot this?
Thank you,
Mike

Yes, thanks, that's one of the first things I went through. Did all the Windows-related steps there and still have the same problem.

I can't restore my iPod touch because of error 3194. I've tried pretty much everything and it still won't restore. Help?!

I turned my iPod off last night and when I went to turn it back on, it got stuck on the logo. I tried to reboot it but it got stuck again. I waited about 15-20 minutes before rebooting it again. It got stuck once again. I plugged it into the computer. The logo came back up but it went away and it showed that I needed to download music from iTunes. I got on iTunes and said it found an iPod in recovery mode and it needed to be restored. Before restoring, I downloaded the updated version of iTunes. After trying to restore my iPod, it said it could not be restored because of error 3194. I then turned my firewall off, opened ports 80 and 443. Nothing seems to work. If you can help. Please do. Thanks.

Did you ever jailbreak or mess with TinyUmbrella? Sounds like your Hosts file is mucked up and pointing the wrong way.
