Ipod Touch 32gb suddenly stopped syncing

I am really ticked off. I've downloaded quite a bit of content to my ipod via my wifi connection and after todays "12 days of Christmas" download - all 1.2gb of it - I thought I'd better sync to my PC and keep it there rather than on the ipod itself. I have Windows Xp SP3, itunes v9 and the ipod is on v3.2.1. Last time I tried to sync it, it had a bit of a fit and insisted on doing a restore which I wasn't too upset about as there was no unique content on the ipod at that time. This time it says "unable to read from or write to the disk" and all my purchased content, about £15 worth of apps and tunes have disappeared from the ipod now as well but aren't in my itunes library either. I've ejected the ipod, shut down the PC, restarted it and plugged the ipod into another USB port and now it won't even recognise the ipod, it just insists on doing a restore but then crashes out every time with error 1621, of which I can find no useful info about on the 'net. Please can somebody help me before I stress out. I've only just got out of the Cardiac ward - heck, I bought the ipod to help me relax!

When you say blank screen is the device on, black screen, white screen, what? See if this helps: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2771

  • 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.

  • Why Did My iPod Touch 4th Gen Stop Sync Entourage?

    I just noticed that my items from Entourage 2008 are no longer syncing - Contacts, Calendar, but I don't know when that problem began or why. I've had no problems syncing my iPod Touch 4th Gen since I bought it many months ago.
    Other programs such as Apple Mail are syncing my Notes just fine. I've upgraded the iPod software each time a new version came out, I'm syncing from a MacBook Pro. It doesn't appear that any items other than ones coming from Entourage 2008 are affected.
    Perhaps something in one of the Apple iPod upgrades caused this, or a setting was changed accidentally - which I doubt, but anything is possible.
    I'd appreciate any assistance since my contacts and calendar are of utmost importance to me and must be correct and up to date.
    Thanks, Greg

    This sounds like the same problem I am having. The error I got was Ox E80000 24  that first O could have been a zero, not sure.
    Edited to add I have iPod touch, iOS 6.1.6

  • New iPod Touch 32gb stalls after starting sync, error 54, manual synce gets dumped

    I just got this thing at Walmart last Sunday and its been driving me nuts all week! It's the brand new iPod Touch 32gb 4gen. When trying to sync it will start to load music then stall. Sometimes it gives error code 54, sometimes says it cant convert song, cant find song, or just stalls. If I wait anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour it will finally un-freeze and dump everything or say the connection has timed out. I've ran repair on iTunes from control panel, no help. Un-installed iTunes and re-installed it then tried synce, no help. I un-selected everything in the iPod summary so that it wont try to synce when I connect it and selected manual synce. Then I could sync a few songs at a time, but it still stalls after only loading a few songs on iPod. Tried dumping everything out of the ipod and start over, several times, no help. I've been 6 days, all day, every day, and half the nights getting a few songs at a time on this dam thing. I found when it stalls if I turn the iPod off to force it out of iTunes I can then restart iTunes, reconnect the iPod, manually select 15 to 20 songs and drag them to the iPod. A few times I got over a hundred to sync but usually 20 to 30 songs then it stalls. Then I have to do the whole thing over again. I had a little over 1200 songs out of the 1877 songs, 11.28gb, in my music library when the last time it stalled, it dumped everything. 4 or 5 days of manually syncing a few songs at a time, GONE. Just poof, all that work for nothing. The only thing left on it is 92 of the hundred something songs I've bought from iTunes. I'm ready to take a hammer to the dam thing and send it back to Walmart where I got it.
    I'm using a Dell Studio 17 inch laptop that's about 4 yrs old running Windows 7 that I installed 2 years ago. I had a iPod nano 2gb that worked fine with this computer & iTunes untill it died last spring.
    Why do you have it set up so that one little hickup and the dam thing dumps everything thats on it? I cant even stop it from starting to sync when I connect it because I need to see the settings in the summary for the iPod to change the settings, but I cant see that until I connect it, but as soon as I connect it, it try's to start the sync and stalls feezing everything.
    Can anybody help me before this thing drives me completely over the edge!?
    The ColoradoHermit

    I have a older Dell Optiplex desktop computer running Windows XP. I copied the iTunes  folder on my laptop to an external drive and plugged that into my desktop computer. Then connected the iPod Touch to the desktop. For some reason or other the computer thought the iPod was a camera and wanted to know which photo program to open with or for it. I never did get iTunes on my desktop computer to "see" the iPod and had to give up that idea.
    When going into the My Computer or Windows Explorer - which is the one I like to use for working with my files-  when I connect the iPod to my computer in Windows Explorer it will show the iPod. Open that and it shows Internal Storage, open that and a folder with DCIM shows below it, open that and a folder with 860OKMZO on it shows below that, open that and it has the 40 or 50 photos I saved from Facebook. That's it, there isn't anything else shown in its storage. The iTunes on my old Desktop doesn't see the iPod Touch either.
    Even if the iTunes on my old desktop would work with this iPod Touch it wouldn't do me any good. I read in a post that once it is connected to a iTunes Library, if its connected to any other iTunes Library on a different computer it will dump everything that's on it. Which is totally stupid but I think they - iTunes - have it that way so that you cant share your music with somebody elses computer. But that also makes it so I cant manually sync one thing at a time with my own iTunes Library. I tried syncing my music first and after I got some of it on the iPod, in its summary I deselected the music sync and selected the movies or video's so I could manually synce a few to it to see if it would work. Bad move. As soon as I did that it dumped everything that was on it, then said that it could not sync the movies because the files could not be written. HUH? Why a video from YouTube could not be written beats me. But why did it dump all the music?
    The last thing I did with it was put all the options in the summary in iTunes back to default, removed everything on the iPod that was left after its last dump, then disconnected it, closed iTunes, and rebooted my laptop and started over from scratch. Started iTunes, connected the iPod, after iTunes found it I opened the iPod summary, made sure everything except sync photo's was selected, then started the sync function. It immediately listed all the songs and the songs info in light gray under music on the iPod. It only got 2 songs copied, then stalled. I just left it alone to see what it would do. I opened the Windows Task Manager to see what it was doing. Even though the iTunes program appered to be stalled it was using 50% of the CPU. After about 15 minutes it showed a popup window saying the song could not be writen then another saying its connection to the iPod had timed out, then iTunes stalled and "not responding" showed in task manager and at the top of the iTunes window. After 30 minutes I had to force it to close with the Task Manager. By then it was after midnight and had been another 12 hours wasted messing with this thing.

  • IPod Touch 32gb 2nd gen can't sync

    WRONG SECTION!

  • ITunes deleted songs/videos/playlists from iPod touch and won't sync them onto iPod, but songs can still be played on iTunes however I just can't transfer them back onto my iPod. HELP!

    Hey, so I'm wondering if any of you can help me with this issue, I'd be unbelievably grateful for any help, I can't resolve it and I dislike my long commute without my iPod to listen to! Thanks in advance
    HOW IT HAPPENED: I had my iPod touch (32GB, 3rd generation) plugged into a speaker charging whilst playing music, and simultaneously I had iTunes (latest version for windows) open on my laptop (Dell - Windows). My iPod started to sync wirelessly with iTunes on my laptop and my music suddenly cut off.
    WHAT HAPPENED: Once the sync had finished, all (almost 4000) songs (and videos) had been wiped off my iPod (including any playlists) with the exception of less than thirty songs, all of which I'd noticed were songs I'd purchased on the iTunes store, a seemingly random selection though - some from a couple of months ago, some from a couple of years ago.
    I closed down everything on my laptop and restarted both laptop, iTunes and iPod then plugged my iPod in to sync. My iTunes library on my laptop is fully intact, complete with playlists, and I'm able to play songs normally from there, however despite numerous attempts, they just won't sync onto my iPod. Interestingly, no apps were deleted from my iPod. There's plenty of room on my iPod now, and even when everything on my iTunes library is synced onto it, there's still around 3GB space, so it can't be an issue to do with lack of space. I have no idea why it's happened, and the settings are for everything on iTunes to be synced to my iPod (I checked again) so it's not an issue with selective items to sync only either.
    A huge thank-you to anyone who can help me!

    I have the same problem!! only thing is that i have the ipod touch 5th generation and a mac. I've been trying to find a way to get all my music to play cuz it will only play on itunes but when i try to play it on my ipod it'll just show a circle with a red square in the middle next to the songs i cant play.

  • Ipod Touch 2nd Gen not syncing photos

    One of my ipod touch's albums to sync is iPhoto's "last import" album. It always updates the album every time I import new photos into iPhoto. However, it has stopped doing that. I have old photos in my album now instead of the most recent import. In "Last Import" on my iPod, it's showing me my import from two times ago, not the most recent. I've clicked SYNC in iTunes about 5 times, but it won't update. My music and podcasts are all updated, just not my photos.

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar.  Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears.

  • Just bought a second hand iPod Touch 32GB 4th Gen. The IOS is currently 4.3.5 and when I try to update to the latest, the connection continually times out. Can you help?

    Hi All,
    First ever post on here but I feel that my options are slowly running out. I've just bought a second hand iPod Touch 32GB 4th Gen. It was reset to factory settings meaning that that software was 4.3.5
    As soon as I plug it into iTunes it asks me to update to the latest version. I click for it to go ahead but the connection times out (error code 3259)
    I've been on the phone to apple for over an hour and we still couldn't resolve the issue. We tried disabling the firewall, uninstalling AVG, diabling pop up blockers, checking the LAN settings, disabling the router security and anything else we could think of.
    We still couldn't get it to stop timing out. I tried to download the firmware from iClarified but iTunes said it didn't recognise the software.
    Has anyone got any ideas?

  • My iPod touch needs to be restored. however, all of my movies/apps/songs/photos are not backed up on my computer because the shop on my computer does not work. can i still get the memory on my iPod touch 32gb back?

    my iPod touch needs to be restored. however, all of my movies/apps/songs/photos are not backed up on my computer because the shop on my computer does not work. can i still get the memory on my iPod touch 32gb back?

    If you weren't able to sync the purchases to a computer previously and now your iPod needs to be restored so you can't sync it now, then you may be out of luck and will need to purchase your content again. Officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications and iBooks. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
    You can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the "Music Purchases" or "Video Purchases" category, as appropriate, then "Lost or Missing Items". You'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) ") and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it. 
    Good luck.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen stops shuffling at song 12 repeat and shuffle bars are blue - what could be wrong

    my ipod touch 4th gen stops shuffling at song 12, and the music stops all together, does not go to next song - I am playing my ipod on my Bose system  -  the repeat and shuffle bars remain blue - it only occurs on this particular playlist -Note:  I created this playlist on my ipad - the first ipad out - with icloud it is on my ipod as well -  I am totally baffled - and have checked settings, etc - do you think i need to connect to computer to sync?  Please help

    While playing any song on your iPod, tap the artwork to bring up the scrubber bar and additional controls. On the left hand side is a option for repeat. You want to make sure this icon is white (meaning it is set to Off). If it isn't tap it either one or two times to change its current setting.
    Any luck there?

  • ITunes can't find apps on iPod Touch and doesn't sync album artwork

    Ugh.  Here I go again.
    I have an iPod Touch (4th gen), 2010 MacBook Pro, all the latest operating systems and updates. 
    My iPod Touch crashed a bit and so I wanted to sync it again (using the USB cable, not wirelessly).
    (1) Suddenly, there was no music on the iPod Touch.  I managed to get that fixed.
    (2) After a couple of syncs, I was repeatedly getting the message that the iPod Touch apps "could not be synced because the apps could not be determined."  A couple of plugging and unpluggings allowed iTunes to "find" the apps, but this is weird.
    (3) And now, what's bugging me -- and this happened a year or so ago -- very little of the album artwork synced over to the iPod Touch.  I have 600-800 albums.  All of the artwork is correct on iTunes.  About 10% of the artwork transferred over to the iPod Touch.  (Then I synced my iPad, and all the artwork is correct on the iPad.)
    If I remember correctly from last year, eventually -- after many successive syncs -- the album artwork made its way correctly over to the iPod Touch, and maybe I'll hope for that this time.
    Does anyone have a more direct solution?  Checking and unchecking some boxes on some syncs?  (It takes a good chunk of time to sync over my music, so I don't really have to time to delete and sync repeatedly just as shots in the dark.
    Any ideas?  All thoughts welcome. Thank you!

    Taking off all the music and then putting it back on took care of the album art, but I'm still getting all kinds of funky behavior -- iTunes can't find the apps, then it can't find the iPod altogether, and it's adding duplicate songs somewhere.  It said it was going to load 3,232 songs, but I ended up with more than 3,400.  Weird.

  • My Ipod touch 2nd generation stopped making sound

    I have had my ipod for many years so I know it doesn't fit under this topic but none of them did... All of a sudden last night my ipod touch 2G just stopped making sound for music or notifications even with headphones. I restored it from itunes but no help, I reset from Ipod touch but no help, then I went to google & was able to get the sound back only with headphones. Can someone please tell me how I can get my sound back! My ipod is my life, I think I might die without it! jk lol

    It is not clear from your question if the restore was from backup or what. Have you tried restoring it to factory defaults/new iPod via iTUnes. Not from backup.

  • 3rd gen iPod touch 32GB won't upgrade to 4.3.3

    We have a 3rd gen iPod Touch 32GB that has OS 4.1 on it and when we plug it into the computer (MB Pro running Tiger with iTunes 9.2.1) it syncs the ipod just fine.  When we go to the iPod screen though it says there's an update 4.3.3 available but when you click update it says that iTunes 9.2.1 is the current version and doesn't update the iPod.  Anyone have any clue on how to fix this or what is going on?
