IPod Touch (1st Gen) not syncing with iTunes 11.0.4

I own an iPod touch 1st generation and for some reason it won't sync music properly with the latest version of iTunes. This problem has been going on for about 6 months. I have found some way around it but it involves wiping the iPod entirely and then syncing it with my iTunes. This, however, is a very long process and I want to know if there is a solution. I do understand that this is a very old iPod (c. 2005) but I've had it from new and other than this problem it works perfectly fine and has a decent battery life. I don't really care much for apps I just want to be able to listen to my music on the train without having to fork out for a new iPod or iPhone.

I would try:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

Ipod Nano 7th Gen not syncing with Itunes

My 1 week old nano wont sync with Itunes anymore. I have tried rebooting it and reinstalling Itunes too, but nothing is working. It is connecting at random time but not everytime I try connecting it. I once plugged it into a different desktop and it shut down, after that it isnt connecting properly with my system. Is this the problem here?

Hey VandanaR,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like you are unable to sync your iPod because it is not connecting to iTunes. If you are experiencing this issue on a Windows computer, you can follow the applicable article from this resource:

Ipod nano 6th gen. not syncing with itunes match

After the new itunes 11 release I cannot sync my Ipod nano 6th generation with Itunes match without downloading all the songs I want to copy to my ipod to the computer first.
It is a little compersome to download 8Gb to my mac just for syncing and after sync delete them from my computer so that I just stream it again (airbook simply does not have enough space)

iTunes 11 won't even recognize my 1st and 3rd gen nanos. They've just rendered all the devices I love useless.
You can send feedback on the upgrade here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html. I'm hoping enough legacy iPod users will speak up that they'll rethink and/or fix it.

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.

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.

We have some 3rd generations iPod touches that are note syncing with the computer we have. The original computer that the ipods was synced to is gone. We downloaded the itunes to the new computer and logged on as the same account and it won't sync.

An iPod can pn;y sync wiht one iTunes kibrary and the new computer is a new iTunes library:
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party probgram like one of those dicussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup

Hey Xxx_Dank_xxX,
Have you ever been able to sync your iPod shuffle to iTunes on your computer, or has something recently occurred? Are you working with a Mac or a PC? Without knowing what has been recommended to you, I'm going to start here with the basics troubleshooting for this issue.

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.

Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
iOS: How to back up
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content such as music, videos, and photos synced to the device, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software available to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for information.
