Ipod touch 4gen skipping app sync!

Hi everyone, i have an ipod touch 4th gen running on ios 6.1.2 and i am not able to sync my apps on itunes. Everytime i tick the apps i would like to sync and then sync, it would get up to step 3(determining apps to sync) and would completely skip steps 4 and 5 which i believe are the 'syncing' steps. Help please!

Have you successfuly synced apps from this computer before?
If so, what changed?
Do you have the apps checked to sync to the iPod?
Do you have Restrictions set that prevent installing apps?

  • My iPod Touch (4gen) won't sync and update

    I have a 4th generation iPod Touch. Pretty new right?
    Either way I tried updating to iOS5.0 and it said I had to delete pretty much everything and restore it to the new OS. I did. Unfortunately after it wiped my touch clean, an error occurred. It says "The iPod "iPod" could not be restored because an unexpected error occurred (1611)" or some jazz like that. I researched it, so I closed everything down, restarted my computer, and switched the USB ports like an Apple tech told someone else to do. I try syncing again, and this time I get error (1601). I have no idea what to do. I tried putting my ipod in to DFU mode, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, and I just get booted back to error (1611) or (1601). I've been at it for a few hours and needless to say am very frustrated.
    What are these errors 1611 and 1601, and how do I fix them? reinstalling itunes didn't work. Putting my ipod into DFU mode didn't work. And I definitely don't want to buy another ipod because of a software problem with Apple's "update", especially because my 4th gen is still new. I had no problems syncing my ipod with iOS 4 either. So its just the "updated" software.
    I'm using a Windows Vista, so its not like its an outdated computer either.

  • I just updated my iPod touch 4gen. To the latest software and now I can't sync my apps

    I just updated my iPod touch 4gen. And I was able to sync my music but not my apps. When the apps I chose ate checked, it shows me how much space I have left. As soon as I click the apply button it starts to determine apps
    To sync. The it finishes and none of the apps get put on and the green bar in the capacity gone away.

  • Sync podcasts with iPod touch 4gen

    my iPod touch 4gen will no longer sync podcasts without the podcast app. app store says it requires iOS7 to get podcast app. iPod update says it has the latest iOS, 6.1.6. i have tried to manually update, keeps saying i have the latest. any suggestions? a workaround the still get new podcasts? thanks!

    You should be able to download the app by:
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • I have a new Iphone 5, my wife has a 4S and an iPod Touch.  When I sync my new 5 to the Mac, it pick up ALL of the stupid game apps that my wife uses on her two devices.  How can I keep them separate?

    go to itunes preferences, store, uncheck automatic downloads. also when your phone is connected you can click  on apps and only check the ones you want on your phone, go down to the bottom right and click apply.

  • I restored my ipod touch however the apps will not sync.  I tried to re-download but I changed my apple id as my old id is no longer a valid email address.  Any ideas out there please

    I restored my ipod touch however the apps will not sync.  I tried to re-download but I changed my apple id as my old id is no longer a valid email address.  Any ideas out there please?

    It might be logical to someone, but not to me. I agree it's a pain.
    How did you change your Apple ID? Creating a new one is not what you want to do, but if you changed the ID associated with your purchases then that might have worked. You would need to sign in with the Apple ID on both your iPod Touch as well as in iTunes. I'm not sure how you changed it but clearly they need to match.
    If it's just your password that is not getting recognized reset it here: http://iforgot.apple.com/
    It will send an email confirmation to the email address associated with that Apple ID. The email address you elect to use might not look anything like your Apple ID. If you don't appear to get an email check your spam filter.

  • 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.

    i have a ipod touch 4gen and whenever i sync it, i just lose all my memory... and im also trying to restore my memory but don't really know how... how do i do it?

    Only sync chosen songs. Even with that I had a bad song once that was corrupted and it blew the ipod touch's mind. Can't remember how I found the song, but deleted it off the computer and was able to get a fresh copy off this quite old CD. Also, settings-general-usage, you can see which files are gathering up in your memory. There are some surprisingly large programs.

  • When i sync my ipod touch (4gen), my music does not appear on my device? what is wrong?

    when I sync my ipod touch (4gen), my music does not appear on my device. What went wrong?

    Hello,
    The problem is that you just don't selected the music that you want to import.
    You can do this by opening iTunes, search your ipod in the superior bar, select it, then will appear a screen showing the information of your ipod, you can check how many songs are in your ipod, if there says nothing so theres the problem. In the superior bar, select Music, then click on the box "Sync Music", now select the songs you want right down. And press "Sync" That should solve the problem.
    Cheers

  • IPod touch 4g skips music on bluetooth

    I have a new iPod touch 4th Gen with iOS6.1.3 and bought it to play music in my car, a 2011 Toyota Aurion (Camry) with a standard Toyota audio system which has bluetooth. I also have an iPhone 4 using iOS 5.1.1 - there is no issue at all playing music through the car audio with the iPhone nor any other device I have other than the iPod.
    The problem is with my iPod touch. I have synced it to my car's audio but when I start to play music it will skip for a while and settles down and it seems ok. Sometimes it never settles down and other times I wait for a few minutes before I press play and everything is OK. If I only have a 10 minute drive half of that time I spend trying to get the ipod working properly. The iPod works perfectly with the audio if I use the 3.5mm plug but I lose most steerng wheel controls as they work only with bluetooth, other than volume.
    I have re-paired it several times, done phone resets, etc. but nothing changes. From what I've read it seems to be an iOS 6 issue and others have managed to fix this by updating their car audio's bluetooth. I don't think there is an update for the Toyota audio system.
    Any other ideas? It is FRUSTRATING buying a new device only for it not to work 100%. Everything else om the iPod works as it should.
    Would appreciate possitive assistance with this. Thanks.

    Hello Ramjet7,
    Congratulations on your new iPod touch!  It is definitely frustrating when you cannot get the full use of a new device. 
    I found an article that has some tips for troubleshooting Bluetooth connectivity with third-party devices including car kits.  I recommend reviewing the sections titled "Intermittent iOS-to-Bluetooth accessory connectivity" and "Cannot connect to a paired device" in the following article:
    iOS: Third-party Bluetooth headsets, headphones, and keyboards

  • Ipod Touch 4Gen not showing up in Computer in Windows 7

    Hi,
    I just reinstalled my Ipod Touch 4Gen and also have reinstalled Itunes on my Windows 7 computer. I had a problem having Itunes to show my Ipod Touch, so I contacted apple support and they have help me, but when I go to the Computer folder in Windows 7, I don't see my Ipod Touch as one of the devices there when I connect it my computer. My Ipod Touch would show up there before, so what can I do to fix this?
    Thank you.
