Ipod touch locks up when syncing

Hello-
My Ipod touch syncs fine with Itunes 8.0.1.11 when syncing apps or playlists. As soon as I check "sync all music and playlists" Itunes locks up on me. Any ideas?

Sorry, I forgot to say that I also had downloaded the newest Iphone software package for the Ipod touch. This freezeing up issue was happening before that tough.

Ipod Touch screen freezes when syncing

After my ipod touch 2G fell victim to the white screen of death, i decided to use an ipod touch 1G we had. After updating itunes, i updated the ipod's software to 3.1.3. After the update and the backup (pre-restoration) everything was fine with it until the sync started; the ipod screen would freeze with the apple icon on it and the status bar around 1/4 of the way to completion. When itunes shows that the content completed syncing and the ipod was ready to be disconnected the logo and staus bar stayed put. After disconnecting the screen still has no change, doesn't go dark or lock or anything. I tried putting it into recovery mode and restoring it several times. Help?

If the screen remains on and you can't turn it off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try a reset, recovery mode and restore as appropriate. If the iPod acts the same as before then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I deleted all my playlists provided. However, they are still on my Ipod Touch. Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied back into Itunes?

A playlist takes up almost no room. A few kB at most.
It is simply a list of songs in the library
Do you want the playlists or not?

You can only sync with one computer. I would backup to one computer and then restore from backup.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

I do not understand what "it says in the windows connect to itunes" means?
What is "it" and what is "windows"?
Maybe:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
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 Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

You buy one and only one download.
As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

Have you tried restoring the iPod via itunes on your computer? First restore from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

My daughter's ipod touch 4th Gen cannot sync over wi-fi and cannot be seen in the devices section of itunes for windows. I have gone through all steps of the troubleshooting guide. All of our other ios devices are wi-fi sync-ing fine. Can anyone help?
Not sure how long this has been a problem. Kids are young and I manually manage most things but recently having music synced is an issue. All software has been kept up to date.

IPod touch 2G. Not syncing, not restoring, not switching on. iTunes 10.4.1. Help Please!

iPod touch 2G. Not syncing, not restoring, not switching on. iTunes 10.4.1. Help Please!

- What happens when you try to sync and restore?
- If iTunes is not seing the iPod see if restting the iPod will either fix the problem or allow you to see it in iTunes so you can restore the iPod
Reset iPod touch: 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.
- Next place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

TS2446 my ipod touch locked after several attempts with the wrong password. how to i reset?

my ipod touch locked after several attempts with the wrong password. how do i reset the password.

If it's showing the disabled screen due to too many incorrect passcode attempts then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPod and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPod into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

IPod Touch 4G won't sync at all

My iPod Touch 4G won't sync at all when I plug it into a different computer. It'll warn "erase all content and replace it with this computer's library" or whatever that message is, so I click ok, then it'll say "preparing to sync (step 1 of 3)", then "determining apps to sync (step 2 of 3)", then nothing happens, whatever step 3 of 3 is doesn't even appear. Already authorized this computer, also did a hard reset.
Does anyone know what's happening?
And "restore to factory settings" is the last thing I want to do so no need to answer with that. I doubt it's anything wrong with the iPod anyways as it synced fine the last time I used it, which was back in the iTunes 10.x days.

The message means that something happened to your computer files and now the iPod thinks that the iTunes library is a different library. You need to do the following:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
If all the synced media is already on the compute all yo have to do is backup the iPod and restore from that backup.

Ipod touch 4G won't sync

Hello,
My iPod touch (4G) won't sync with iTunes.
When i plug it into my pc it recognizes the iPod, but the device doesn't appear in iTunes.
I use iTunes 11 because iTunes 12 doesn't work on my pc.
My pc runs on windows 8.1, my iPod touch is running on the latest update of iOS 6.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks

I have the same problem and read where one person turned off ICloud. I do not have I Cloud activated so I went ahead and turned off WiFi. Now it is syncing.
It used to not get past Step 1 of Syncing and it would say "Fail to Sync" or something like that.
