Ipod touch no longer sych

Recently my ipod touch stopped syching. I'm not sure if it's because I had to erase everything from my laptop and some of the necessary apps are missing and that is the reason why I can no longer sych.
Thanks,
Tiffany

Assuming that you mean that the iPod does not appear in iTunes on your computer when you connect the iPod to your computer. then try the following assuming you have a PC.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

  • Why is my Ipod Touch no longer recognised by my computer. I have Vista

    Why is my Ipod touch no longer recognised by my computer? please.

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar.  Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears.

    Thanks for responding. Since I upgraded ITUNES to IOS 6, my IPOD Touch no longer works at all. I had numerous apps, music and videos on this touch. It made me restore to factory reset and it still does not work!!! Nothing I do will work on this touch now. I have so much data on this, I don't want to loose or have to restore!
    Can you help me?
    Thanks

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • IPod Touch No Longer Syncs After Upgrade to 10.8.3

    I recently upgraded my computer from OSX 10.5 to 10.8.3. But while my iPad seems to sync fine, my iPod touch no longer syncs and it is not recognized by the Apple store. Please help!

    When I plug in my ipod, a message pops up that says:
    "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPod (my ipod name). Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?
         >If you do not authorize this computer, 191 songs will be removed from the iPod"
    I click "authorize"
    Enter my apple ID (note that for some reason it keeps bringing up an apple id from 2006, even though the computer and ipod are from 2011 and 2010.)
    Then it says "this computer is already authorized"
    And every time I plug it in, the same thing happens.
    Sorry I wasn't clear before.

  • 1st Gen ipod touch no longer keeping time

    As the title says my 1st gen ipod touch no longer keeps time when I let it go completely flat. It keeps resetting itself back to the default time and date. Started happening in the last 6 months. I'm running IOS 2.2.1 never bothered updating to IOS 3 because of a known issue with the volume bar disappearing which I don't think had even been fixed. It hasn't been synced with the itunes for 2-3 years. The laptop with the itunes library for this device hasn't worked for a couple of years and haven't sync my ipod to a new computer due to some of the apps I used and some of my song/video purchases no longer being available and I don't want to risk losing those purchases if doing a factory resets not going to make a difference. Battery life for my ipod is still pretty good, get 3 weeks out of it when I leave it in standby mode using it for an alarm clock and about a week listening to music going to and from work only a few hours playing games or videos but that was never to great to begin with. My Ipod touch does have a cracked screen, but it's been cracked for the last 5 years. No other problems. Is else have this issue? Will factory reset make a difference or is it just something to put up with till my ipod touch dies?

    It sounds like the battery is really dying and does not have enough voltage to maintain the time when the iPod shuts off due to low battery.
    You can try restoring to factory settings/new iPod and see if that helps.

  • Some of my apps on both my iPad and iPod Touch no longer have sound.  Others still do.  Checked general settings.  Any other ideas?

    Some of my apps on both my iPad and iPod Touch no longer have sound.  Others still do.  I checked general settings.  Any other ideas of how to fix this?

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • IPod touch no longer synching playlists

    Hi,
    A couple of days ago, my iPod Touch no longer syncs playlists. I have a couple of playlists with a few hundred songs. The playlist shows up on the iPod in the playlist menu, but if you go into the playlist, it only shows 2 or 3 songs. But if you go under songs, all the songs are there.
    Steps I've taken to fix this:
    1. Reset iPod. No change.
    2. Deleted and created a bunch of entirely new playlists, error still occurs.
    3. Restored iPod to factory settings. No change.
    4. Uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled. No change.
    Has anyone seen this before? It's very annoying. I'm stuck listening to all my songs on shuffle, even if I just wanted to listen to a select few I put in the playlist.

    Auto-synching.
    The playlist is a Smart Playlist, created with the following rule:
    "name" "starts with" and then the letter, which I change daily.
    Options checked are:
    Limit to 10gb selected by random
    Match Only Checked Items
    Live Updating
    Again, when I sync, all the songs make it over, but the playlist is empty or only contains a couple of songs. This only seems to happen with Smart Playlists. If I select all the songs in the smart playlist, then create a new playlist based on the selection, this will sync properly.

  • Ipod touch no longer autosyncs since adding new windows format. Simple how to ?

    Hello. Since downloading the new format assoc'd w/ Itunes10.1 my Ipod touch no longer automatically syncs. Is there something simple I'm missing ?

    Start here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would first remove and reinstall all the Apple software by:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    The drivers in windows that sees the iPod as a camera is different that the drivers that see the iPod in iTunes.

  • Newer 32GB iPod Touch no longer connects to MacBook.

    My newer 32GB iPod Touch no longer connects to my MacBook at all. All has worked fine until yesterday.  All cables and USB port check out fine with older iPod. Touch still works beautifully but charge is dwindling. Since it's not recognized by MacBook no charge icons show up. I ran the trouble shooting pages in Apple Support, did all the resets, repaired permissions, reinstalled iTunes, etc. Any suggestions out there? Thanks!

    Whenyou plug the iPod into the computer via USB does the iPod's screen show the iPod is charging?  (The computer has to be on)
    Look at the dock connecort on the iPod and compare it with the dock connector for the iPod that does work. Look for foreign material, bent, broken or corroded contacts and other abnormalities.

  • Ipod touch no longer charges with USB nor does it output sound through the connector

    2 problems after the latest iOS update:
    (1) my 3rd generation iPod Touch no longer changes when connected to the computer through the USB connection.  It says that the device is not supported for connection through USB.  My computer is running Snow Leopard and all software is up to date.
    (2) it also does not output sound through my clock radio nor through the built-in ipod connection in my MINI. 
    This all worked great until the latest iOS update.  Something broke in the latest update.
    anyone else seeing this issue?

    You can try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem then the iOS broke full compatibility. you have to then wait for either Apple to fix the problem in an iOS update or for Honda to fix it via a firmware update/
    Have you contacted Honda?

  • 1st Generation iPod Touch No Longer Recognized by Windows 7 PC

    I have a 1st generation iPod Touch (no camera) that can no longer connect to my Windows 7 pc. Plugging in the iPod via USB does not trigger any sort of dialog box in Windows and it doesn't trigger a message saying a device has been connected; the iPod does not show up in either iTunes, Computer, Device Manager or Devices and Printers, either as an Apple mobile device or an unrecognized device, and does not charge when connected to USB (though the wall-charger still works). As far as my computer is concerned this iPod does not exist. I had successfully synced this iPod as recently as one week ago and am ready to pitch the thing in the garbage if I can't find a solution.
    I have the latest version of iTunes as well as the most up-to-date Windows updates. I have already followed all the steps listed here (iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows) multiple times with no success.
    I also have tried following the instructions listed here (Re: For those Windows users who suddenly cannot see their device in iTunes. Here's a solution that has worked.) but this also hasn't worked since the iPod isn't recognized in the Device Manager and I am not given the option of updating the drivers, manually or otherwise.
    I have uninstalled/re-installed iTunes and all related Apple services multiple times. The Apple Mobile Device Service is functioning normally. iTunes diagnostics indicate that there is no device connected no matter what I do. I have reinstalled my Windows USB drivers and changed the settings on the USB Root Hub in the Windows Device Manager to disable power saving options.
    I have tried connecting the device to another PC which detects and syncs another apple device (iPhone 5) with no issues, and had the exact same result: the computer doesn't even recognize an iPod is connected.
    I can't update the Apple Mobile Device Drivers because the device is not recognized by my machine in any way.
    I even completely reset my iPod and that just left me with a unactivated iPod that still isn't detected.
    I am really unbelievably fed-up with the useless "try checking your USB cable"-style advice that people seem to offer on this forum. If anybody has dealt with this issue and has any serious advice other than "re-install iTunes," it would be much appreciated.

    You said "I am really unbelievably fed-up with the useless "try checking your USB cable"-style"
    - Did you try another cable?
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    Try on another computer

  • IPod touch no longer recognized by my PC/laptop

    My iPod touch is not showing up in my computer, or in itunes. Apple store says the connector port on the bottom is fried and won't ever connect to a computer via USB cable again. It still charges thru the wall charger, tho, and works fine otherwise.
    How can I get music onto my iPod touch via either wifi, or perhaps 3rd party apps like Dropbox?
    I know I can buy music thru itunes and do the automatic download onto the itunes on my iPod touch...but I have alot of music in mp3 format already on my laptop that I converted from old CDs and want to know how to get those albums/songs onto my iPod touch and my iPod's itunes.
    Please let me know if there are any other options to get that music onto there.
    Thx!

    That's what i was afraid of...but that's extra work and doesn't allow you to jump to a certain track.
    Thanks for the response- sounds like I either have to settle for keeping the iPod i've got and never putting new music onto it...or break down and spend the money on a new one. This one is barely past its warranty, tho, so it's tough to spend that kind of $ yet again for another iPod that won't last very long.
    Does anyone know of any 3rd party repair people who can fix iPod touch?
