Ipod 7 will no longer sync with PC

Uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes  but still get message "ipod is detected but can't be identified properly"

Hey there,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are receiving an error message when connecting your iPod nano to iTunes. I can also understand how frustrating this may be, but it sounds like you have already taken steps towards resolving this issue. There are a few more troubleshooting steps that you can attempt which can be found in this resource:

  • IPod will no longer sync with iTunes

    I started a thread before about how I could no longer sync the e-books I added to my iTunes account to my iPod touch. I'd found a workaround by e-mailing the books to myself and then opening them in iBooks on my iPod.
    Now however I'm having the same issue with ALL THE CONTENT in my iTunes account. It still recognizes my device. I HAVE updated iTunes and my iOS (my iPod touch is 4th generation so I don't have/can't get iOS 7). I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes altogether. I have made sure the right boxes are clicked before syncing. It will go through the sync but the part where it says it is adding the files and shows them adding individually never happens. It just jumps to step 4 finishing and then when I check it never appears on my iPod. This is frustrating. What point is having an iPod if I can't USE it? It's basically a $200 paper weight. And YES I'm using the same apple ID, the same computer, etc. I've always used and I never had any problems before until a few months ago. It just stopped working. I've done most of the things suggested in all the other support threads I've read about similar issues and nothing has worked. Obviously lots of people are having this issue but from what I can tell the suggestions people are offering don't seem to help them.
    So I guess I'm just putting this out there in the hopes that someone has a new idea to offer that will actually work? If not, does anybody wanna buy a 4th generation iPod touch?

    I did restore from back-up as well. And I had thought of restoring my iPod to factory settings however...I just got my mother-in-law's old iPhone 3GS. Upon getting it from her I restored it to factory settings. After having the problems tonight syncing my iPod to iTunes I tried syncing the iPhone. It started out fine, showing it as a new device and setting it up. It shows both devices on my iTunes and then when I went to sync it I got the error message that none of the songs could be copied from my iTunes because they could not be found. But they all clearly show up in my iTunes. I had done this before when I was having the issue with my books and then I had deleted them all from iTunes and readded a few that I wanted to put on my iPod and it still wouldn't sync them. So I really don't want to take absolutely everything off my iPod and restore it to factory only to be unable to add anything from my iTunes ever again as is the case with the iPhone.

  • My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.

    My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.  it tells me it cannot read the contents of the ipod then it says the ipod software server cannot be contacted.  Any suggestions?

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    Then try restoring again.

    My ipod nano will no longer sync with itunes since i purchased an iphone 4s and synced the phone with itunes.  When I plug my ipod into my imac, it does not even read or recognize my ipod.  What do i do?

    Are you using the original cable that came with Nano and not your iPhone's cable?  Have you worked through the troubleshooting in this Apple support document?

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
    $19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

  • My podcasts will no longer sync with my ipod classic. Also when I tried to sync in itunes, the category "podcast" disappeared under my ipod listed in itunes.

    My podcasts will no longer sync with my ipod classic. Also when I tried to sync in itunes, the category "podcast" disappeared under my ipod listed in itunes.

    Are you sure your iPod Classic is configured to sync podcasts to your device?  You'll want to double check by taking a quick look at your iPod's Podcast configuration tab in iTunes.
    To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes when it appears to bring yourself to the iPod's Summary tab. Now locate the Podcasts tab and select it.  Under this tab you can configure how and what podcasts are synced to your device. If you make any changes, be sure to click theApply button in the lower right hand corner.

  • BB Desktop Manager will no longer sync with BB Torch

    My Torch will no longer sync with my desktop.   BB Desktop software shows "Connecting " but this message stays on and does not change and it never connects.   Never had any trouble before.  I've reinstalled BB Desktop Manager but still have same issue.
    The day prior to me noticing this problem I disconnected my torch during a desktop software backup, which is what I suspect is the cause of this problem, but cannot seem to fix it.   Any thoughts on how to remedy?

    Your post indicates iOS 4.3 which is now quite old.  I am going to suggest restoring your iPad, which, among other things, will update your iOS to the current version.
    I recommend restoring your iPad.  Make sure you have the current version of iTunes on your computer (currently 11.0.1).  Plug your iPad into your computer, let it sync, then press "Restore" on the right side when the summary page of the iPad is displayed in iTuens' display.

    After I installed iOS 7.1, my iPhone 4s and iPod (5th Gen) stopped syncing with my 2014 Toyota Tundra Truck.  Has anybody experienced this problem?

    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
