My brand new iPod Touch 4th generation will not sync with iTunes on my Windows Vista computer! Please help!

I have tried every trick in the book and read every thread on why my version of Windows Vista will not allow me to get at the iTunes Store. I cannot even get this new iPod Touch to sync with iTunes.
I've rebooted, soft restart, hard restart, removed iTunes and re-installed iTunes. Nada...nothing!
Does anyone else have the same issue and can they offer me a solution?

4s syncing with itunes (apparently), but no music found on phone, help

Just bought a new Iphone 4s. This is my first iphone (but i have ipods). I also have a new computer which I downloaded Itunes onto. I have not trasferred the music from my old laptop onto the new laptop/new itunes so everything is fresh and empty. I have an audio book i uploaded onto itunes. Again, this is the only file on my itunes library at the moment. It uploaded without any issues as I can play the tracks off of my Itunes lilbrary on the computer without an issue.
Next step, I plug my iphone into the computer and itunes recognizes it without any noticeable issues. Since I have my setting to sync any checked songs/files, itunes appears to transfer the audiobook onto my iphone. This is further confirmed by the fact that on my computer's itunes, my iphone device is shown as having these songs in the "books" folder. Everything APPEARS to be going according to plan, however, when I attempt to play/find these tracks on my iphone, they are nowhere to be found. Its as if they never synced. I even downloaded an audiobook player app, and that doesnt identify any files it could play either. I dont understand, itunes shows the tracks on the iphone, but the iphone says otherwise.
So essentially, my iphone itself is not recognizing any songs/data that were transferred, but when linked to my computer itunes, the iphone device is shown as having this data in it. Any help would be very, very much appreciated. Thank you.

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Have you tried all three of these?

I tried to update my ipod touch software update by syncing with itunes and now its in recovery mode? Is it possible to get it out of recovery mode? if so, then how?

I tried to update my ipod touch software by syncing with itunes and it put the ipod into "recovery mode". Seems like the only option is to restore? Is there a way to get it out of recovery mode?

No.
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

IPhone 4: Hangup while attempting to sync with iTunes

I have an iPhone 4 that I sync with iTunes and updated my apps via the updates on my phone's AppStore via wireless with no issues at all since I bought he phone when it first came out. Until last evening.
I saw that I had about 8 app updates on my phone, and tried to update them on my phone as usual. They all got stuck waiting and wouldn't progress at all.
I tried a lot of stuff from the different forums - power phone off and on, reset, close and restart itunes, turn cloud off and on, etc...
the phone not only didn't update the apps, but It wont sync with itunes either. iTunes recognizes the phone, but then gets hung up making changes.
iTunes is up to date, and I have logged out and back in with my apple ID, and even tried removing all 3500 songs, but the sync would hang up before it got tomthe point of removing them. When I ran diagnostics, it said that there were no problems.
I was able to get the apps off of the phone, and set itunes to remove them so it wouldn't try to reinstall them. Still no-go.
I back up to iCloud nightly, so I could do a restore if necessary, though I'd prefer to try other options first.
Any additional advice, guidance, etc? I would really appreciate any suggestions!

My restore didnt work when i updated to IOS5, and then it was overwritten. How can i get my old restore back??

Ijust updated my ipod touch to ios5 and it didnt restore. i unplugged and reconnected my cable to the PC but when i reconnected it, it backed up over the restore i was trying to get.

You can only get your old backup back, if you included it into your computer backup routine and could restore the backup folder for your ipod.
If you have no other backups, your info is gone.
iTunes and iOS do not support installing backups of newer versions of iOS onto devices using earlier versions of iOS.
iTunes will not back up automatically if you are using iCloud.
Have a new iOS device and need to move your previous backup onto it? Follow the steps in How to transfer your backup from one iOS device to a new device.

Iphone 4: updated to IOS 6.2. Blank Mail screen, and stuck at 21 emails. Can't access anything. Cannot Sync with iTunes either. It cycles and never gets beyond step 2, then recycles

I have an iphone running OS6.01. After updating, March 3 was my last sync. iTunes recognizes the phone, but the progress bar sits on eithe step 1 or 2 of 7 steps. Then it starts over. The device icon on the left shows syncing taking place, as does the phone.
Have rebooted the MBpro and the phone several times. Have held down the top and home buttons until the apple appears, to no avail.
Also starting March 3rd my iPhone has been struggling; My Mail is stuck at 21, and all I get is a blank screen when I click on the app. I have now other apps that won't open at all now...and when I go into settings to click on mail, I get a blue hightlighted box that stalls and goes nowhere.
Thoughts...solutions are welcome

Apple - Fix this!!!!!!
Apple, THIS IS WHERE YOU NEED TO LOOK on iOS 6 regarding "WIFI Lockout"!!!!!!
When this happens (WIFI freezes up aka "WIFI Lockout") – you can not get on internet while using WIFI!!!!!
You could be in the middle of surfing or using any app that makes data calls based on DNS and suddenly you can go no where or do nothing!
Yea sure, you can restart the WIFI connection, but WHO wants to CONTINUALLY do that?????
Apple (or any curious iOS 6 user that wants to see my point), when this happens open up a browser before you reset, disconnect/reconnect WIFI ( I tried both safari and chrome ) and type type 74.125.227.144 (google) and then “go”. A google search page will come up and you will be able to execute a search. (of course any link you click on will not work as it is dependant on DNS resolution)
Non DNS traffic works so the issue is not the WIFI connection to the access point!
APPLE, FOCUS ON FIXING THIS DNS DATA ISSUE AND YOU WILL GET MANY PEOPLE OFF YOU BACK!!!!
I KNOW THIS IS NOT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH iOS 6, BUT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM NOT BEING ABLE TO SURF OR GET DATA THE iOS 6 DEVICE IS REQUESTING!!!!!

Perform a Reset... Try again...

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

I dont know what to do any help please ??

I thing yu really have a 2G iod. Those can only to to 4.2.1. If yours is a 8 or 16 GB one it is a 2G iPod. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. A 32 GB one could be either. To identify your iPod:

Have you failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer? not good.
The ipod is not a backup device.
You can redownload itunes purchases. Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links
You should always maintain a backup copy of your computer.

If you look at the feed, and look at the entry 'The end to an exciting field season in Aulavik National Park' you will see the line:
<pubDateFri, 29 Jul 2011 04:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
You have not closed the 'pubdate' tag - there should be a '>' as the 9th character. Because the tag has been left open, it invalidates everything which follows it, and thus the entire feed. iTunes therefore cannot read it, which is why the Store has not updated. Add the '>' and republish, and all should be well.
It's always worth checking your feed by subscribing manually, from the 'Advanced' menu, or by clicking the 'subscribe free' button on the Store page (both do the same thing) - if you can subscribe to the feed it should be OK.

I have several very important school related documents on my iPad in the Pages app. Ever since i updated to iOS5, i can no longer open any documents in Pages that I made before I updated. Please help

Without the iPad connected, open up iTunes on your computer. Go to iTunes/Preferences/Devices and delete the backups that you're absolutely certain do not have the documents. Refer to figure below.
iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "NO" to creating a backup. (You don't want to create a new backup that does not have the docs.) You will then 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. This time, say "yes."
Repeat all of the above as required until you get the docs.

After I update to ios5 and I am trying to update my apps on my ipod and its asking me for my password but the username has my old username on it

You can go to Settings>Store and log out of one account and log into another. However, apps are tied to the account that originally purchased them. You have to use that account to update them. Also, if you have apps from more than one account that need updating, you have to update them individually using the correct account until the ones left are from only one account. Then you can update all.
