IPod Touch Backup, when syncing with iTunes 9

I have just switched to an Apple mac and now have a MacBook.
I copied the PC My Music folder to the Mac and dropped it over iTunes and successfully imported my library into iTunes on the MacBook.
When connecting my iPod Touch it asked me to confirm that I wanted the contents erasing and the current iTunes library syncing to the iPod Touch.
I answered yes and this was also successful.
My problem now is that when I connect the iPod Touch to the MacBook, it does recognise it and it does connect and it does start the backup before sync, but then the bckup runs very slowly and indeed so slow that it would take hours to actyally complete the backup if indeed it is working.\
I've checked that files are indeed being written to the Mobilesync Backup area and they are, but it's too slow.
Anybody got any ideas why this would be the case. My MacBook has 82+ GB free space and my iPod Touch is a 16GB device with 3+ gb free space.
Please forgive me in that I am an Apple MacBook newbie, although I have been successfully syncing the device with a Windows PC for some time prior to moving to a Mac.

Many thanks for your reply, however, it doesn't help me, because I have an iPod Touch with no camera and so the camera roll issue does not arise.
The sync process doesn't get to sync either, since it is in "Backup iPod" status and would be for what would be many hours, possibly as much as 24 hours.
Is this normal for a 1st Backup between a MacBook and an iPod Touch via USB to iPod cable provided with the iPod?
The iPod is about 14 months old and the MacBook is quite new, i.e. just a few months.

  • HT1535 My ipod touch will not sync with itunes I have restored it to factory settings and have now lost all my music how do I get it to sync to get it back it keeps saying it has timed out whilst waiting to sync...

    My ipod touch will not sync with itunes I have tried to restore it to the factory settings and have now lost what little music I had on it I have music in my itunes but it wont sync for some reason .. please help ..

    Why won't it sync? Are you getting any sort of error message during the sync process?  If so what is the exact wording of that error message?  If this the computer you normally sync the iPod with?

  • IPod Touch no longer syncing with iTunes?

    Mac OS X v10.4.11
    - all software up to date
    - iTunes 9.2.1 (5); no later updates available on this machine
    iPod Touch v3.1.3
    This iPod Touch used to sync to iTunes just fine and dandy. Now it won't. I'm seeing that *now* in order to sync I have to upgrade (i.e. get a new mac) to v10.5?
    What gives?
    Both used to sync fine and now they don't. Did Apple pull a fast one on me?

    But my point is that one day it worked fine, and now it doesn't. Why would it stop working, if it once was supported? Did Apple push an update to my iPod which made it not supported by my machine? If so, that's pretty low.
    If I buy a device and it works fine with my mac, it should stay working fine with my mac.

  • Ipod touch will not sync with itunes 9

    i have a large libary on my ipod touch that wont sync to itunes. Also will not load playlist. Just purchsed a few shows and i try and sync and i says its done but still not on the ipod touch. please help!!

    Syncing on a touch is iTunes -> iPod, not the other way around. If you have a large library on your iPod that doesn't exist anywhere else (very bad practice) and need to move things to iTunes, you have two choices:
    1. Purchased items can be transferred by selecting, in iTunes, File > Transfer my purchases
    2. Music you have added from CDs you ripped yourself: Google "Pod to PC" for a freeware program that can do this for you.
    As to your purchased shows, you most likely downloaded them in the wrong format. iTunes lists programs in HD (for the Apple TV) and regular definition for the iPod. Just go back and download the correct version.

  • IPod Touch can't sync with iTunes.

    I have an iPod Touch, 5th generation.  After updating to iOS 7.0.4, I am no longer able to sync with iTunes, ver 11.1.3.8.  It gets stuck on step 4 of 4, "waiting for changes to be applied".  Before the update, there was no problem with syncing.  Does anyone have a way to correct this issue?  I am using Windows 7.  I really haven't liked anything about iOS 7, is there anyway to go back to a previous operating system?

  • Ipod touch will not Sync with Itunes

    Roomate deleted most of my music on my ipod touch and now it will not sync with itunes when I try to put the music back on.

    - First try resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - have you tried a different cable/USP port?
    - Assuming a PC look here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - you may have to place your iPod in recovery mode to get iTunes to see the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • Ipod Touch will not sync with Itunes 12.1.1.4 64 bit

    I have recently updated itunes and on the back of doing so my Ipod touch will not sync my library. The Ipod itself is a couple of years old but using iOS 6.1.6.
    I have deleted and re-installed Itunes. I have wiped my Ipod to start again. I have set it to sync over Wi-fi and nothing has worked. I physically plug the Ipod in and it gets detected. If I change a setting and click apply it briefly says syncing and then nothing.
    I have set automatically download Itunes songs etc etc etc and absolutely nothing seems to get it to sync!
    Help!

    You said " If I change a setting and click apply it briefly says syncing and then nothing.".
    How many steps are completed? What is listed in the status bar of iTunes when it stops?

  • IPod classic freezes when syncing with iTunes

    This is a complicated story involving my two brothers, a traded ipod, and sadness - here goes...
    Brother "A" had an iPod, which was traded to brother "B". Brother "A" was on windows, brother "B" was on a mac. The ipod would not sync with the mac, even after being reformatted and restored with latest software of both itunes and ipod. When syncing it gets to song 25 and stops. Every time, no matter the song.
    Here is what I have tried:
    • All software updated
    • Ipod was reformatted and restored
    • iTunes library was rebuilt - all unauthorized songs and duplicates removed (my brothers library was a mess)
    After all this it still freezes when it is copying song 25. The ipod was working fine (so brother "A" claims) when syncing with the windows machine. Any suggestions?

  • My ipod touch will not sync with itunes

    I updated my ipod touch and now the music won't sync to itunes. Itunes recognizes the ipod and even knows which artists I have chosen for it.  The apps are all there but not the songs or videos.  When I click SYNC it skips the steps that would actually sync the music. I am afraid to reinstall itunes because I don't want to lose my selections.  I have a large music library and this ipod touch cannot accomodate the entire library so I had to pick and choose some favorites. I tried restoring the ipod to the backup library and to factory settings. Nothing works. It's driving me nuts. Please help if you can. Thanks!
