IPod Touch 4G - Trouble Syncing and Playing Through Other Speaker Systems

I can open iTunes and listen to music just fine on my computer, but when I plug in my iPod Touch 4G, an error comes up. At first, iTunes would simply crash and it would give me the generic "iTunes has stopped working, we we will notify you if we find a solution." type of error, but now it says "The software required for this iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the required software." From what I've read online, reinstalling iTunes rarely solves the problem. I've done a soft reset on my iPod a few times as well.
Since this started happening with iTunes, my iPod also won't play music in my car through the built-in AUX cable I have, and it won't play music through an iHome either. It will charge when plugged into any of these things, and play music out of its own speakers, but that's it. Any help? I don't really want to pay Apple $30 to tell me how to fix it.
Everything is up to date; iPod on iOS 5.0.1 and iTunes is on 10.5.3.3
Thanks!

Have you tried drying your iPod like specified here:

  • Ipod Touch having trouble syncing with my MacBookPro (I have 2.0.2 update)

    Well, my Ipod Touch is not able to sync with my MacBookPro and Itunes. I have the 2.0.2 update, and I know it messes things up, but I've had it since the day it was released and I haven't had trouble syncing before, so I don't think that is the problem. I plug my Ipod Touch in, my computer recognizes it and my Ipod starts to charge... than it starts to sync and after 30 seconds at the most, usually after 5-10 seconds, my ipod goes to the home screen like nothing happened(nothing syncs), and itunes does one of three things. It either: continues to think its syncing to my ipod, it acts as if the Ipod has been unplugged, or it goes to my Ipods summary page as if it was syncing, though nothing is syncing.
    What should I do, I've tried to be as detailed as possible, but if more detail is needed, just ask.
    Thanks in advance to all who can help

    I have this problem too, but on an iPhone 3g rather than a Touch. I basically cannot sync calendars at all so any calendar additions i need on my mac i just have to enter manually. It's been like this since August despite many attempt to do a restore and fix it. I even tried clearing out all my calendars thinking that perhaps there were too many entries. Anyone have any ideas?

  • My iPod now has trouble syncing and is freezing now that I updated to 6.0.1 ios software. Please fix this!

    I recently upgraded my ipod Touch (4th Gen) to the new ios 6.0.1 software. Now it has trouble syncing, freezing up while syncing and keeping music on it without deleting it. I tried restoring it, but can't even downgrade it. PLEASE APPLE!!! PLEASE FIX THIS!!!

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • TS1538 I have 2 ipod touches. One syncs just fine, the other is not recognized by itunes.  I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, reset the ipod touch to factory settings. Itunes still doesnt recognize one of my ipod touches

    I have 2 ipod touches. One of the syncs with itunes just fine. The other isnt recognized by itunes. I reset the ipod to factory settings,and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, still no recognition.

    - Do you have the latest version of iTunes on the computer? iOS 6 requires 10.5 or later. The current is 10.6.3
    - Have you tried a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - You could try placing the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore the iPod. However, if you can't restore the iPod or use this program to get the iPod out of recovery mode
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    you will lose use of the iPod.
    - An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store might be in order.

  • IPod Touch No Longer Syncs After Upgrade to 10.8.3

    I recently upgraded my computer from OSX 10.5 to 10.8.3. But while my iPad seems to sync fine, my iPod touch no longer syncs and it is not recognized by the Apple store. Please help!

    When I plug in my ipod, a message pops up that says:
    "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPod (my ipod name). Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?
         >If you do not authorize this computer, 191 songs will be removed from the iPod"
    I click "authorize"
    Enter my apple ID (note that for some reason it keeps bringing up an apple id from 2006, even though the computer and ipod are from 2011 and 2010.)
    Then it says "this computer is already authorized"
    And every time I plug it in, the same thing happens.
    Sorry I wasn't clear before.

    Hi msclaude,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  I'm not sure from your post what steps you have tried, but it sounds like you may need to use recovery mode to address the issue with your unresponsive iPod touch.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201263
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    You can put your iOS device into recovery mode, then restore it using iTunes.
    Use recovery mode
    You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:
    iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
    You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
    You see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    Learn what to do if you see the progress bar onscreen for several minutes.
    To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
    Turn off your device and leave it off.
    Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes. 
    Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again. 
    When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.Get more help
    Learn what to do if you don't see your device in iTunes for OS X, or in iTunes for Windows.
    If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • My 5th generation iPod Touch won't sync videos and music at all

    Since December 29th, I have been having trouble with my videos and music not syncing to my iPod Touch. I tried to manually select them to sync to my iPod, when I remove them the number of gigabytes free on the bottom of the screen doesn’t change. What’s wrong? Please help

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    It just skips the step on preparing tracks to sync and takes a long time as well when it comes to waiting for changes to be applied.
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    No, the iPod was not previously synced to another iTunes library/computer at all
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Yes, I have been succesffuly syncing from the library/computer before this problem happened to my iPod Touch.
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Yes, the songs do play in iTunes
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
    I think I do have the right boxes checked to sync but have to check and see if I do or not have them checked. Even though I have been syncing in the manual method and it still won't do sync my videos or new music at all.

  • Itunes 10 and ipod touch 2g not syncing

    Hi,
    Upgraded to iTunes 10.0.1 and Ipod Touch 2g OS4.1 and now my Ipod won't sync with my MacBook Pro. It gets a few stages through and either hangs at the backup stage or the calendar/contacts sync.
    I tried a full Ipod erase and restore, even as a new iPod - didn't work
    Any other ideas. Anyone else suffering this?
    Thanks!

    I am having the same issue. I have an iPhone 4 with the most recent software...it was fine when I synced it yesterday (on my Macbook Pro). Today I updated my iTunes, plugged in my phone, and I got nothing. It's charging...it just won't recognize my phone. Weird, huh?
    I haven't tried to restore it yet though. I can't stand losing text messages sent between backups...so I'm hoping I can wait this out and not lose those messages...
