IPod touch is not working with iTunes

My iPod touch is no longer recognized by my iTunes even though it has been recognized without problems ever since I bought it. My computer has never crashed, had a virus or any problems at all. Because iTunes didn't recognize it, I was given the option to reset my iPod, which somehow 'timed out'...
If there are any tricks or things I need to do in order to fix this, please tell me.
Also, whenever my iPod is connected to my computer, my iTunes will always become unresponsive and I end up having to force quit it.

Hi,
I'd suggest reinstalling the Apple Mobile Device Support & iTunes.
Go into Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
Click on Apple Mobile Device Support, and click Remove
Click on iTunes, and click Remove
Restart the computer
Re-download and install iTunes here:

Hope this is helpful,

  • Why is my ipod touch 5 not working with itunes? It says it needs to update to itunes 10.7 or later.

    My new ipod touch 5 is working perfectly, almost. When I plugged it in to my laptop for Itunes, the laptop said the ipod needs to update to itunes 10.7 or later. The problem is it won't let me update it. Can somebody help me?

    You need to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer to sync it. If you're using Mac OS X 10.6 through 10.6.7, run Software Update twice. If you're running Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier and have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.
    If you're using Windows, what happens when you try to update it?

    Try:

    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3 says it needs 11.1 but I cannot load that on my macbook using OSX 10.5.8 any way around this?

    New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3, says it needs 11.1 or newer but I cannot load that onto my MacBook running on OSX 10.5.8 - is there anyway around this?

    No. If your MacBook has an Intel processor you can update to OSX 10.6.8 and then install the latest iTunes.
    A 5G iPod with iOS 7 requires that if you have a Mac you have OSX 10.6.8 or later.
    You can get 10.6.8 here:

    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?

    My iPod touch WILL NOT sync with iTunes. I have 6.1.3 on my touch & latest on ITunes. Why won't it sync????

    What happens when you try?
    Does anything sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • 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:

    - you may have to place your iPod in recovery mode to get iTunes to see the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • New IPod Touch will not sync with Itunes-updated to iOS 7.1.1 for new IPod

    Just purchased new IPod Touch (purchased 6-3-14 - had a Classic until it fried). After setting it up, I tried to sync to ITunes and it says it syncs but does nothing. No music transferred to IPod. I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8 if that means anything. This is very frustrating as I am not a computer whiz and really want to use my IPod in my really long commutes to work. Thanks for any insight...

    Hi abbeyesque,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like your iPod touch is recognized and syncing, but it isn't transferring the content that you expect to be transferred. Take a look at the article linked below, it will show you how to select the iPhone in iTunes and where the tabs are (second picture) that control what is synced to the iPod.
    iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    Sync using USB
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable.
    Click the Device button in the upper-right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button first.) If you don't see your device, you may need to hide the sidebar. Choose View > Hide Sidebar.
    Some tabs may not appear if you don't have the corresponding content in your library. For example, if you don't have any podcasts in your library, the Podcast tab won't appear.
    Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.

  • Ipod touch equalizer not working with radio

    My first Apple device just purchased today.  The ipod Touch 8GB Generation 4.  The first thing I did was downdoad Tunein to listen to radio.  I noticed the preloaded Apple equalizer with presets does not work.  Is this normal with radio or this app.  Does the equalizer only work with itunes music player?  Thanks

    It's a bookshelf stereo system with an output channel so I have a Logitech Jukebox Internet Radio hooked up to it and it works fine but the iPod Touch ..... nada happens when I plug in the output cable to it. 

  • 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?

  • My 4th gen iPod Touch does not work with Ford sync since updating OS

    When I updated my iPod to the new os, it does not work with my ford sync system anymore. how do I fix this?

    Have lots of issues with Fords MySync and here's some info that might help....
    Using ford sync interface, goto the phone section, then settings, and look if your iPhones name is listed, if so select the phone name thru sync interface and remove/delete it from the sync list, then go thru the Bluetooth pairing process again.
    If that doesn't work, do the same on the iPhone, select ford sync entry in Bluetooth and remove sync or forget this device on the iPhone and then go thru Bluetooth pairing again.
    If that doesn't work Power off iphone ( not sleep) hold power button till you see red slider to power off. Then restart iphone, try pairing up again.
    If that doesn't work go back to MySync and goto phone settings and use the up-down slider till you see sync master reset. Confirm then go thru BT pairing again.
    If that doesn't work there is a fuse for the my sync system. Fuse box is usually behind kick panel of front passenger seat side for the Mustang #3, its behind a paper black cover. Remove fuse for 5-30 secs then replace.
    Lastly, make sure your MySync Firmware is the latest vers. Mines 4.0.2 goto fords MySync support page to check
    http://www.ford.com/syncmyride/
    or call 1-800-392-3673 Opt 3
    A google search might help for your model and year if not a newer mustang and you couldn't get to ford.
    Good Luck

  • 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.

    <please help
                 sincerly confused

    Same here, iTunes otherwise works just fine. Plug in iPod Touch (32GB from fall of last year, iOS v4.3.5), iTunes locks up and eventually crashes. iPod never chimes in that it's connected and charging and shows up in device list in iTunes, but never enters sync mode.
    PowerBook G4, Mac OS 10.5.8 with 2GB of RAM. Tryed re-installing iTunes 10.5, restarting, rebuilding permissions, nothing worked. Worked just fine last week. Also links up just fine with a Windoze 7 laptop running iTunes 10.5 (but it's not one that I sync with.).
    Bummer, I was really looking forward to iOS 5, but now will have no way to install it untill Apple fixes 10.5.
