IPod iOS5 wont finish sync and more.

I have been having trouble ever since I decided to update to iOS5. I have had many problems from not being able to get my music to not being able to get wifi sync working. I have currently got all of my problems working after 4 whole days but I just cannot solve the problem for not finishing the sync. I will start the sync and it begins doing its normal things.. backing up, adding music, etc. then at the tail end when you think your finally done, it display's this:
It is so annoying! It happen's every single time. I have tried everything (from the previous troubleshooting I had to do). I have restored ipod twice, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, rebooted laptop and ipod. I have lost all hope. Please help.

So I found the solution out today finally. It has to do with Voice Memos (or atleast in my case). I had to remove the voice memos from my ipod and then resync them back. It now works.

I moved my music from the c drive to the d drive. All of my music is in itunes but my ipod won't sync with itunes. The syncing process is taking much longer than usual too. I left my ipod over night to sync and it didnt finish. Fails to sync every time.

Hello,
I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
Restart the Computer. This sometimes happens to me when I keep my Windows 7 on Sleep, and I try to sync my Ipod
Make sure you have the latest version of Itunes
Hope that helps!
If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
Cheers!

Updated to new iPhone OS and now it wont finish syncing in iTunes 11.1.2

Hi,
I updated (iPhone 4) to new iPhone OS (7.0.3) and now it wont finish syncing in iTunes 11.1.2
I wind up having to just unplug the phone.
Also - everytime I plug the phone into computer, it asks me if I should trust this computer and I say yes - but it asks every time.
Also a flag pops up saying it cant connect to an apple server. (???)
(I am running Snow Leopard)
any suggestions?
thanks

You have to update to 10.6.8 first.
Then, if your machine qualifies, this explains how to get Mavericks:

My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

I downloaded songs on itunes, when I go to sync it to my ipod it "says" its syncing and then it shows up on the capacity bar but there are no songs on my ipod

In itune did you play any of the songs downloaded. If so plug your ipod back in an manualy check off to sync all music. If that doesn't work you might have to restore the ipod.

I really need help because my ipod mini isnt working correctly my mom just gave it to me and The iPod “TAMI DUGARD’s iPod” cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the selected items (additional 146.5 MB required). it says this. Over and over when i try to sync it too my itunes what does this mean and its a 4gb

It means you try to sync an amount of content to your iPod Mini that exceeds for 4 GB, or the amount of space that is available on the iPod. See this article for more details.

ITunes wont finish syncing my iPhone and iPad.

My system:
Mavericks: 10.9.4
iTunes: 11.3.1
iOS: 7.1.2
iPhone 4S
iPad Air
Today I have encountered an issue with my iPhone and iPad when syncing with iTunes. I connect my devices to iTunes and have the option selected to not allow the devices to sync automatically. After the device has shown up in iTunes, I click on sync and iTunes does it thing until it reaches the point where it waits for the changes to be applied (on iPad this is step 6 of 6 and on iPhone this is step 7 of 7). It reaches this point and then just does nothing, I get the moving status bar but the sync does not finish and I have to press the 'X' to cancel the sync and eject my device. This happens on both iPhone and iPad.
I have contacted Apple Care and they have talked me through the process of disc repair and repairing disc permission from the disk utility menu from pressing CMD and R on boot up. All this came back all OK.
The only thing that I have done to both of devices within the last few days for the first time ever, I have switched on airplane mode, I have never done this before and only had it on for a few seconds but looking through some other questions on the Apple support pages, could this have had an effect on the syncing issue I'm having?
Any help or advice on this would be great...
Many thanks...

Just wanted to update my original post with some more information.
After spending the day talking to Apple Care about this issue with syncing, sadly Apple care could not offer me much help. I was told they were not aware of any current sync problems or bugs.
I think the problem has something to do with the fact that I switched on/off Airplane mode for a very short while, I find it a little bit strange how both devices started to do the same problem straight after I switched on/off Airplane mode.
Anyhow, in the end, I had to go through the long process of fully restoring both iPhone and iPad and setting them up as new...

Im trying to sync im iphone and it just gets stuck on step 8 of 8 and wont finish syncing how do i fix this?

im trying to sync my iphone and it gets stuff on step 8 of 8 how can i fix this n finishing syncing?

Now, try with your dock cable still connected, switch computer iTunes totally off (not running anywhere), check with your Task manager to be sure. Start iTunes again.
