Ipod touch g2 - backup freezes but sync works

I bought a new g2 touch, I have several screens filled (4/5) so it'd be long to list all of them. It was restored a few days ago for unrelated, so I'd rather not do this right away.. But I've rebooted/reset everything and tried another cable/port to make sure. When I sync it goes pretty slow but when it goes to the backup stage or "processing backup" - pre-screen it freezes completely. I can cancell it and sync later without backup but obviously I want a backup.
I've removed all backup data in itunes and tried again but nada.. I understand some apps like facebook would cause it to go slow but this is 10-15mins and no progress. I've also deleted sync data (not sure if good idea. but already done).
I can return it within next 5-6 days or try restore but I wanna make sure I've exausted all my options first. I'd really appreciate some ideas asap
Thank you,
Geo

long story short. I guess my problem is solved... But ****, it takes too long to sync what amounts to maybee 200mb of actual data (cause tunes/movies/podcasts aren't synced automatically). pain in the butt to be honest, I wish this was a faster process even after you start actually using programs

I purchased a book on itunes. It shoes up in itunes but not in ibook on my ipod touch. I tried rebooting, syncing, updating. Nothing works. Can anyone help me?

A book I purchased from itunes store downloaded OK and shows up on my PC but does not show up in ibooks on my ipod touch. I tried manually syncing and rebooting which did not help. From the pc in the itunes store the book shows up in the purchased list. From the ipod, the purchased list from the store is empty. Actually, the book does not exist when trying to search for it at the store from the ipod. I'm confused. Any solution or suggestion?

The book is in ibooks format. The extension is ".ibooks". I did delete it from itunes and download it again from the store a few times. I tried updating my ibooks app. I even sent it to the ipod through dropbox. I looked through all the settings I could find in itunes and ipod. So far no matter what I do, ibooks does not see this book.

How much free storage space is available on your iPod Touch?
When restoring your iPod Touch with iTunes, did you restore from the backup for the iPod Touch or as a new iPod Touch?
If the former and the problem lies with the data included with the backup, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem putting you right back where you started.

Ipod touch will not connect to itunes @ work computer, but will connect to itunes @ home computer? why won't itunes see my ipod at work?

I am getting interference on my Ipod touch on music that I sync from down loaded CDs to ITunes on my PC. The music is clear when I play it on my PC but has the interference on the Ipod. This just started recently. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I am getting interference (scratching sound) on my Ipod touch on music that I sync from downloaded CDs to ITunes on my PC. The music is clear when I play it on my PC but has the interference on the Ipod. This just started recently. Any thoughts?

Thank you so much for the reply. I does not appear to be the headphones because I get the same interference sound from my Ihome radio when I dock by Ipod on it as well as when I connect the Ipod to the radio connection in the car. I have isolated the issue to the Ipod because these same tunes play without interference on my PC so something is happening in the sync process.

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.

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.

I purchased an adapter for playing videos from my ipod touch on my tv. It works fine for episodes I have purchased from Itunes, but won't play videos from Hulu Plus. What should I do to remedy the situation? Thank you!

I recently lost all of my contacts on my iPod touch 4g. If I sync my iPod with my backups on my PC,will the contacts come back or will they be deleted also?

I recently lost all of my contacts on my iPod touch 4g. If I sync my iPod with my backups on my PC, will the contacts come back to my iPod or will the sync delete the contacts from my backup file?

The contacts are part of the backup. So restoring from a backup that has the contacts should have the contacts. Make sure that you have autosyncing turned off, otherwise when you connect the iPod to the computer iTunes may overwrite the old backup with the new contents of the iPod that does not contain the contacts. To turn off go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPods...

HT1212 I just bought a new ipod touch from a friend but she didn't reset it and everytime that I try to rest it, it keeps saying "Ipod is disable, connect to Itunes" but I'am connected to Itunes and it also says put in correct passcode?? how do I reset it

I just bought a new Ipod ios from a friend and she didn't reset it before she gave it to me and when I try to connect it to my laptop it keeps saying "Ipod is disable, connect to itunes"and it says to put in the correct passcode but I don't know what the passcode is and now I can't get ahold of my friend that sold it to me. So my question is: How do I reset the passcode and the Ipod touch so that I can sync it to my laptop and so that I can enjoy my new Ipod Touch?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
