In windows 8, Ipod touch suddenly will not sync up with itunes.

I can see it in Devices on computer. The last time I synced up (in December) it was fine. Went into help in Itunes and followed instructions and restarted computer and no go. Both Ipod and Itunes are on latest update. The Ipod is gen5.

Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

    Hey Oynkus,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You state you updated your iMac to OS X 10.8.5.  Did you update iTunes as well?
    If so, you may find the calendar sync options under Info.

  • My ipod touch 2g will not sync to my itunes after being restored

    I restored my ipod after it started having some problems where the sound would stop and the volume bar would dissapear like it was connected to a dock.
    I reset all contents and settings from my ipod and restored it in recovery mode on my itunes , i had to do  did this several times because itunes would no let me restore and i kept getting all sorts of errors.
    I finally got it to restore my ipod and update to ios 4.2.1 but itunes only recognized my ipod once and now it wont recognize it at all , i tried with different usb cables and on different computers and  none can recognize my ipod. Can anyone help ? Thanks

    See if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make the iPod visible in iTunes so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

    Have you Authorised your Computer...
    Open iTunes and from the Menu Bar select Store...
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).

  • IPod touch 4g will not sync with iTunes after ios6

    I upgraded my iPod touch 4g to ios6, and I have iTunes 10.7.0.21 my iPod touch will not sync my music.  When it starts I receive an error about a song, different each time I've tried it.
    It gets stuck most times (Step 5 of 5) Waiting for changes to be applied.  Never moves past and eventually the "sync" spinning circle on the iPod disappears, but iTunes still says it's "waiting".
    It appears to have sync the apps, but NO MUSIC .... HELP!
    I've already rebooted several times over the past few days, I even went as far as restoring my iPod but now all I have is a really shiny paper weight, not worth a damm penny now.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?  I'm on a Windows 7 machines, while I'm not very technicial, I can follow clear steps!
    Thanks

    I am not trying to sync with mutlitple libraries. I did an iPod restore till it was back at configuration state, then attempted to sync it with the XP system. It failed to sync with any options.
    I then did another restore to try again on the Windows 7 machine and it was successful.

  • Ipod "5th generation" will not sync to updated itunes

    My new ipod touch will not sync with itunes. i restores it so the old stuff on my itunes is on it but now that i have added new music, it will not sync at all. How can i fix this?

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. That makes the new iTunes look like the old one. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar and Control+B to show the Menu bar

  • My iPod touch 4g will not sync for anything!

    I got my iTouch this January and have had horrible problems with it since about a month after I got it.
    The first problem I had was that certain songs go silent partway through, but the sound starts again about 30 seconds later. It always happens at the same time in the same songs. I could fix it by removing the songs from my iPod and then re-syncing them, but it would keep popping up and was really annoying. Songs that I've never had a problem with before will all of a sudden skip. Because some of my friends have had the same issue, I didn't think it was worth calling Apple.
    Shortly after, I started getting an error message each time I opened iTunes. It says "iTunes was unable to collect data class information from Sync Services." I looked this up online and tried syncing the iPod on a different USB port as well as on a powered USB add-on. Nothing helped. It didn't seem to affect my iPod at all, so I didn't worry too much about it.
    About a week ago, I got back from a trip and plugged my iPod in to charge while I went to sleep. When I unplugged it in the morning, it had a full charge, but said that there was no music on the iPod. iTunes said that there was music on the iPod. I tried to sync it multiple times, but I would get different error messages that said that the iPod could not be synced. Because it had helped me before with other iPods, I tried to restore my iPod. It partially restored it, but then I got an error message saying that it could not be restored. I tried to restore it multiple times and got different error messages. I reinstalled iTunes twice, but it didn't help.
    At this point, I got really frustrated and called Apple. They were helpful and said that, since I'd already been through all the troubleshooting, I could just send in my iPod for free at a UPS store. I was under the impression that I would get a new or refurbished iPod from the same generation as mine. I got my same iPod back two days later with a note that said there was no issue with my iPod. They had finished restoring it, and didn't charge me (thank God!).
    Feeling hopeful, I plugged it in to iTunes and got my regular error message (iTunes was unable to collect data class information from sync services). When it tried to sync, I got an error message again. It seemed like the iPod would randomly quit syncing and go to the home screen in the middle of a sync, since the error message was sometimes that the iPod was disconnected. Sometimes after an error message, iTunes would freeze up, so I used ctrl+alt+del to shut it down from the Task Manager. Next I tried syncing the iPod to my dad's iTunes on a different user, but I got the same error messages. I tried syncing with no music, and it worked. I tried syncing with apps and without music, but none of the apps would sync. I also tried syncing music without apps, but got the same error messages as before. I went online and read some forums, and discovered that when iTunes is in use, the iPod does not show up in My Computer. I have no idea what to do next.
    As a 15 year old, I have no money and my parents aren't exactly excited to buy me a new iPod or any expensive Apple accessories. I spent all my Christmas money on this iPod, and have spent hundreds in iTunes, so I feel entitled to my $250 worth (I only got 8 gigs), as well as the over $600 of allowance I've been spending in iTunes since the iPod Mini I got in the 4th grade. Come on, I haven't even had it for 7 months yet!
    Also:
    I'm running 64-bit Windows 7. (I downloaded iTunes in 64 bit, but in the Task Manager, it says iTunes.exe *32)
    My dad and I both also have iPod Nano 3gs, and neither get error messages or syncing problems at all.
    My iPod is not jailbroken. I don't get illegal music, only iTunes.
    The screen isn't broken. It has no scratches on it since I keep it in a case.
    Nothing has ever spilled on it, and I'm sure of this because the water indicators are still white.
    I know this is really long, but I didn't want to leave out any details that could be important. I think it also demonstrates the extensive amount of problems I've had. If anyone else has had any problems like this, please comment. I'm willing to try anything at this point.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Updated itunes now my ipod touch 2g will not sync 13019

    I just updated itunes to the latest version for Lion (10.5.3) now my ipod touch 2g (4.2.1) will not manually manage my music and I get a 13019 error.  My Ipod touch 2g is up to date and I am running lion 10.6.8.   I tried the trouble shooting guide on the apple site for 13019 error to no avail.  I manually manage my music so I cannot go under sync and deselect memos. I have always manually managed my music, but I also deselected all other sync operations within the ipod.   Also when I try to delete duplicate files I also get the 13019 error. 
    Funny thing is when I add songs they show up on my device in the itunes window but not in the ipod itself, even though I get the error.  I have also been reading all the latest threads and they seem to point to duplicate files and
    I guess the last resort is to restore the ipod.  Why would the update cause my ipod to no longer sync? Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Ipod touch 2g 32gb 4.2.1

    I had to do a complete restore and start with a fresh Ipod.  I can add music and no longer get the error.  Now I will have to go through all my music and bring it over manually again.  I did not dare to restore all the music with the back up as I am sure that was causing the conflict be it duplicate files or corrupt ones.  I will be more careful with duplicates as they are all erased from my itunes library. 
    All is good now. 

  • Why does my Ipod touch 5th gen not sync podcasts with my Windows Itunes? Both are up to date with versions.

    I didn't see this asked so sorry if this is a duplicate question.
    In Itunes (it is the most recent version for windows available as of 2/12/2014) all my podcasts are showing they have downlaoded to my PC. They don't have the little cloud next to them. I sync my Ipod touch 5th gen. The sync shows everything was synced. I look at the "Whats on this ipod" tab and they are listed. But when I disconnect the ipod via the "eject" icon on the Ipod button in itunes and look at the podcasts they still show as not downloaded (greyed out and if wifi is turned on the little cloud is next to them ).
    So whats going on? I had this issue with my ipod touch 4th gen as well and though it was because the podcast app stopped upgrading but the itunes on windwos did. But the syncing of the podcasts are even worse with the 5th gen then they were with the 4th gen.
    I typically don't have wifi turned on since I want to sync the ipod via itunes. So I have a central place to keep the old podcasts without having to take space on the ipod itself. I saw some references to the downloading of podacasts are done only via wifi, but that just didn't make sense. Why be able to sync Itunes if they are just going to turn around and make you do the same on the device?
    Any ideas? Suggestions?
    Thanks for the help in advance.

  • My ipod touch 5g will not sync in itunes 11.0.5. And I'm afraid to restart my ipod, because it always gets stuck in a recovery loop. I have the latest version of iTunes, but nothing has changed. What should I do? FRUSTRATED...

    Also, if there happened to be a new update for iTunes it would sync after the update is completed, but once I turn my Macbook off and try to sync it afterwards IT WILL NOT WORK. It refuses too, and I'd hate to wait for a new iTunes update just to sync my ipod. So if there's anyone who's knowledgable in regards to this type of situation...PLEASE HELP!!!

  • Ipod touch (32GB) will not sync apps?

    I just restored my 32Gb Ipod Touch and now Itunes will not let me sync some of my apps to my Ipod. My Ipod software is all up to date. Some of my apps will download but others will not. Take Fruit Ninja for example, When I select the app to sync to my Ipod and hit apply it says...waiting for sync to start, preparing to sync, determining tracks to sync, waiting for changes to be applied then the app disappears and is not on my ipod. I bought this app today as well as 2 others. Alot of my free apps will download but not ones that are paid for. All apps are compatable with the Ipod Touch. Please Help!

    redownload them on the iPod directly.
