IPod Touch 'Invalid Response' message from iTunes on Vista

Just install iTunes 8.2 on my new ACER Laptop running Vista Home Edition.
When iPod touch connected to Laptop iTunes throws up the follow error message:
'iTunes could not connect to the iPod device-name because an invalid response was received from the device' I have tried reinstalling iTunes. All the services are running. Vista sees the device and I can browse the content with explorer, but iTunes does not.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Are you seeing any other messages in iTunes?
Try the general tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1852
Also, make sure the iPod touch is directly connected to a high-speed USB2 port on the PC, using the cable that came with it.

Ipod touch 2nd gen disconnects from itunes and turns off while syncing

My Ipod touch i try to connect to itunes and sync it with the itunes, but everytime there is a problem. The problem is that every time it gets like maybe 10 - 30 % done syncing the ipod cuts to a black screen and it is gone from itunes window. Also occasionally the usb device is unrecognized and wont turn on for a minute of holding both the power and home buttons.
I have tried these things
1) syncing from a different computer
2) uninstalling itunes and other components
3) Deleting the current firmware and downloading the one of itunes
4) Checked for updates
5) used a different usb port and ports on the back of the computer
6) Restart the services (Apple mobile device ect.)
7) Restarting computer
8) Erase all contents and settings from the ipod but that doesnt work because when it is done it gets stuck on the apple logo with the loading circle but never turns on.
I have no idea what is wrong with my ipod if you have any questions or help post them, and i should get back to you asap.

Try this before you go to Apple:
Specific error codes and resolutions:
Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off of the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

My ipod touch will download songs from itunes, but has issues with songs from my CD's.The songs show up on my ipod

My ipod downloads songs from itunes and plays them just fine. However, when I added my songs from my CD's to it, they downloaded but don't play like they should. They either don't play at all or randomly play in the middle of the song. It has nothing to do with the start time either because they all say that they start at 0.00. I synced the CD's correctlly, so that is not the issue. The songs from the CD's never start playing when I choose them. What can I do to fix this issue?

Have you looked at the discussions on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This" with your same problem?

HT1212 my ipod is disabled, i have tried the steps to restore, but i get a message from itunes saying i have to enter my password to open itunes, meanwhile i cannot enter a passcode on the touch b/c it is enabled. i do not have the original computer i sy

My ipod was disabled by my son entering the wrong pass code. I no longer have the original computer i sync to. I have tried to restore using the instructions sent by Apple Rep, and on these help pages. I get a message from itunes saying that cannot connect to ipod touch b/c it is disabled, that i need to enter passcode to continue.. meanwhile, the ipod touch is saying i am disabled and to connect to itunes. Any NEW ideas?

If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected (or the device was never connected to a computer) you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)
If none of the above work, try:

IPhone and iTunes "invalid response received from device"

Hello,
I'm running a Windows 7 laptop, up to date on patches. I've been running and sync-ing my iPhone successfully for a while now, but it seems since I upgraded to the latest iTunes version (9.1.1), I'm getting the invalid response received error message. I've tried deleting USB ports in Device Manager, resetting the iPhone a couple of times, restarting the laptop a couple of times, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, swapping sync cables, and turning off my AV, and it still tells me "invalid response received from device"
Anyone have any ideas that I haven't tried? Thanks.

Did you try to remove and reinstall all itunes components, check this article:

I have an old Ipod 5th gen that I have been using for downloading music from my library. Upon purchasing an Ipod touch and registering it in Itunes, I can no longer sync tunes to my old ipod. How can I get that option back on my old ipod?

Need to get all the files, well music and video, from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary.

Need to get all the files, (well music and video), from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary. (So basically sync the other way to normal)
Laptop hard drive broke so had to buy a new one and obviously now need to sort out my itunes.
Did try downloading all my purchased stuff onto itunes but it has missed some things off, and there are some files I did not purchase from itunes so need a way of getting them back on there.
Sure this question has been asked a million times but can't find anything to help me on here so thought I'd ask.
-Did have a look at going onto the start menu and opening the hidden items thing but couldn't see any reference to ipod or device on it so wasn't sure how to do it that way.
-On itunes under my device when its connected, the section about manually restoring and backing up, would that help me? Because that says it will manually back up my ipod to my computer then could restore that back up, obviously I don't want to accidnetally get rid of everything on my ipod so didn't want to try that just in case without checking.
(And yes I have disabled auto sync to device when conncected!)
Can anyone help me please? Sorry if i've overcomplicated this!
Thanks:)
Chris

Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media. You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else. As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC. Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

My 160MB iPod Classic won't sync from iTunes. This is a recent problem. The error message is "The iPod cannot be synched. An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that music will sync but photos will not. Current software on Mac and iPod.

My iPod classic won't synch from iTunes. This is a recent problem. The error message reads "The iPod cannot be synched. An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that the music will sync but photos will not sync. I am running current versions of software on the iPod and the iMac / iTunes. HELP! J

First try to resolve #2 by:
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
If you can resolve #1 and still get same message for #1 then you have to restore the iPod like the message says.

When I connected my iPod Classic or iPhone 4S to the right side USB port of my 2012 11 inches Macbook Air (128 GB SSD), I get a message from iTunes that I connected my device to a USB 1.1 port. I checked the specs, it's a USB 3 port. What's wrong?

IPod touch 4 gives message "Cannot Download" "there is not enough available storage to download...You can manage your storage in settings." when trying to update or install one but not all apps. I have more storage than the app takes. Can u help?

iPod touch 4 gives message "Cannot Download" "there is not enough available storage to download...You can manage your storage in settings." when trying to update or install one of the apps, but not other apps. I have more space available than needed for the app. What do I need to do to fix this problem? Do I need to completely reset this device as new and, if so, how should I do that?

You need to delete some item (apps, music, photos etc) from the iPod,.However, sometime files get corrupt. To determine that connect the iPod to your computer and click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes. How much storage is used by the "other" category. If over 1 1/2 GB that indicates corrupted files.
To get the "other" down to normal value you need to restore your iPod usually restoring from backup works but sometimes restoring to factory settings.new iPod is required./
