Ipod 5 generation sync when connected but don't work after that

Dear users,
I just would like to know if somebody could help me out with this.
I changed my computer and have a new clean hardisk. I reinstall Itunes of course.
I couldn't sync my Ipod who still full and was obliged to erase all the files from the Ipod by changing his name.
Now when I plug the ipod, Itunes Sync auto (music, videos) BUT when Ipod appears in the Itunes and I would like to resync (adding files, ...) nothing happen and an error message says :
In french "IPOD ne peut synchroniser disque introuvable" !!
translation : "impossible to sync the disk is not founded"
Does someone knows if the IPOD has a problem or is it the config of my Itunes ?
Thank you very much in advance.
Sincerely yours,
Phil

Is the other machine "authorized" at the iTunes store? If not, it's probably overwriting the authorization of the home machine.

I deleted some podcasts when I synced with itunes on my computer. They no longer show up on the itunes sync when connected, but are still present on my ipod. How do I delete them from my ipod?

Try swiping your finger across the podcast then tap Delete.

My ipod 5th generation charges when connected to my PC but not recognised in itunes with windows 8.1

Why is my ipod 5th generation not recognised in itunes in windows 8.1?Connection to my PC only charges the battery.

Did this iPod previously work with this computer (running Windows 8.1), and does not now for some reason? Or is this the first time (or the first time with Windows 8.1)?
The fact that only the battery charging symbol appears on the iPod screen seems to indicate that the iPod does not recognize a data connection. It's like you are connecting the iPod to USB (wall) power adapter. It is likely that the Windows system also does not see the iPod as a connected device; you should confirm by looking at Device Manager.
You should rule out a faulty USB docking cable. The dock connector has separate connection points for power and data, so it is possible for it to connect to charge the battery but not connect for data. So, if possible, try another docking cable, or try the cable you have with another Apple device.
You should rule out a problem on the USB port. If you connect something else to the same port, does it work properly? Preferably, you should use something similar, like a USB flash drive or port-powered external drive, and try copying over some large files.
If the USB port and docking cable are OK, the cause is more likely to be on the iPod (such as a dock connector that is worn out from use).

Why do i have to install iTunes everytime just so i can connect my iPod Touch to sync it? It mounts once and after that it won't appear.

It just allows me to mount it once, after that it will not mount until i install i Tunes again. Is there anything i can do so it mounts all the time suxxessfully?
Many thanks,
Carl.

If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track (and the original file) and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519). See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773, especially unchecking the "Allow Simultaneous Downloads" box in the downloads tab of iTunes.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.
If you cannot download a second time, contact iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history or,

Incomplete playback seems to be reported several times a day here. I don't recall this happening before iTunes 10. I would suggest posting feedback to Apple so they aware of an issue.

I was updating i-tunes on my windows vista but it stopped working after that.Since then i have un-installed and re-installed it a dozen times but it shows the same error (Apple error:2

Hi
Recently I purchased Iphone 4-s and tried to connect it to my existing i-tunes but it didnt recognise the device. So I tried updating the I-tunes to see if it made a difference but it was no good.
Hence i followed the trouble shooting and uninstalled and re-installed i-tunes but it wont get installed properly now. Since then I have un-installed and re-installed the complete set of i-tune softwares a dozen times but it still gives me the same error- Apple Error: 2 and Windows Error :2 and report of being unable to install the Apple Application Support software. I have spent 2 1/2 hours talking to the Apple Technical Support Team regarding this but it still hasnt been resolved.( In addition, i have ensured the firewalls are disabled and also opened new user account (admin priviledges) to try and download it)
Now not only can i use my iphone but also my ipod is out of action in regards to music and downloads.
I would really really really appreciate anyone helping me in this matter as i am in dire straits now.
Thank you so much in advance
Regards

I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else.
When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in.
To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005

My iPod doesn't sync when I connect it.

My iPod doesn't sync when I connect it. It states that it is, but within a few seconds it tells me that it is safe to eject, without adding recent purchases from iTunes.

I tried downloading the iOS8 to my iPod 5th generation and when it finished downloading it shut down completely and it said there was an error and no the iPod is in recovery mode. What can I do to restore it and update it? Please, I need help.

Hello,
I recently tried downloading the IOS8 to my iPod 5th generation and when it was almost done the computer said there was an error. Right after that, the iPod shut down completely and now it's on recovery mode. I plugged it in and it said that I had to restore it and update it so I could use it again but it doesn't let me. What can I do? I even did a backup before the update.
I really need help.

What happens when you connect to computer and restore via iTunes?
Without knowing that:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT1386 My iOS device (Ipad mini) only appears in iTunes while cable-connected, but does not appear after diconnect the cable. How can I Wifi sync ?

Hi, My iOS device (Ipad mini) only appears in iTunes while cable-connected, but does not appear after diconnect the cable. How can I Wifi sync ?
Documents say
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it....
But I can't see my iPad Mini in iTunes.
And my Ipad (Settings, General, iTunes Wifi Sinc) shows a message :" Sync will resume when xxx(my PC with iTunes) is available "...
Both are in the same network,
Ipad mini is is plugged in to power
. iTunes is open on the computer
what can i Do ???

Hi Skydiver119, and tks for four interest.
I have done exactly as you say, but it does not work for me.
You indicated " Navigate to the info tab and scroll down. There'll be a check box for 'sync over wifi' or something to that effect. Check that box and sync to affirm your choice."
I navigated to Summary tab (not Info Tab) and checked "Sync with this ipad over Wi-Fi"
I disconnect the wire,
and my iPad disappears from my iTunes screen.
in my iPad ->Settings -> General -> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync -> says " Sync will resume when (my PC) is available.
So, I can not sync via wi-fi
I appreciate if you can help me.

Iphone not auto syncing when connected

i have the auto sync when connected option enabled on itunes, but when i plug my phone in, nothing happens.
when i launch itunes, then dis- and reconnect the phone, it's fine and syncs everything. ideas? this just started happening.

I've always had to open iTunes, then plug in phone for it to see it. I've never been able to just plug in my iPhone and watch iTunes get pulled up automatically like with my iPod. I just figured this is normal.

Help! Ipod does strange things when connected to a comp!

hey guys,
ok my Ipod seems to not be able to work when connected to a computer.
My Ipod mini doesnt work at all when connected to a computer. After charging my Ipod for afew hours (i've noted it hasnt hit full power yet an will be waiting now till it is fully charged again till i retry) but i connect my ipod through a usb port (tried mulitple ports) and it immediately goes from almost full battery to saying "do not disconnect" then it starts audibly beeping and the screen changes to the screen telling me there is no battery power left.
The Ipod is not even charging while connected to the computer apart from the 1st few seconds of being connected. The ipod then stays on the screen of the graphic of the empty battery with the exclamation point.
Nowhere do i see the computer or Itunes recognising the ipod being connected, i only hear the sound the computer makes wen it disconnects after the ipod crashes.
Ipod only malfunctions when attached to a computer and works normally when playing music.
thanx for any help guys

ok update, ive now charged the ipod (left it for approx 10 hours) with the screen showing it was charging. After the approx 10 hours it hadnt reached full. I disconnected the ipod mini and tried to listen to 1 song and it told me the battery was empty.
im now assuming the problem has only to do with just the battery.
Anyone got any ideas?

Thank you for that update.
I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
And restore it first as a new device, and verify that it works properly, then restore from your backup with the same article below to ensure that it is still working.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If it does not work correctly when you set up the phone as a new device, I would next seek service for your iPad:

All the best,

I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.0.2. my wifi says its connected but doesn't work now. It doesn't matter what wifi network I connect to. It worked before updating my phone. I can no longer use facetime or use wifi at all. I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

I'm having similar issues with my phone. I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year. Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas. When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore. I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting. That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore. I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router. When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there. Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
Hope Apple fixes this problem soon..............

You don't need to delete anything from your phone or you old computer.
Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer or backup to /Music/ on new computer.
If you cannot use the old computer or don't have a backup...
-> Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Then immediately make a backup of your new computer.
Get an external drive and plug it in and use -> Time Machine
