IPod Touch no longer syncing with iTunes?

Mac OS X v10.4.11
- all software up to date
- iTunes 9.2.1 (5); no later updates available on this machine
iPod Touch v3.1.3
This iPod Touch used to sync to iTunes just fine and dandy. Now it won't. I'm seeing that *now* in order to sync I have to upgrade (i.e. get a new mac) to v10.5?
What gives?
Both used to sync fine and now they don't. Did Apple pull a fast one on me?

But my point is that one day it worked fine, and now it doesn't. Why would it stop working, if it once was supported? Did Apple push an update to my iPod which made it not supported by my machine? If so, that's pretty low.
If I buy a device and it works fine with my mac, it should stay working fine with my mac.

Ipod 30gb no longer syncing with itunes 8.0.1.11

I have a 30gb ipod video that is no longer syncing with itunes (8.0.1.11).
I had about 10gb of music on my iPod previously, when I hooked it up to iTunes to add more music to it, it deleted everything on my iPod and only synced about 500mb of new music. I've tried restoring my iPod as well as restarting my computer & iTunes and have had no luck adding any music to it.
I've scoured the iTune site for help as well as googled my issues and nothing has popped up.

It was a precursor to my G4 HD going south. Had to rebuild from scratch and it's fine.

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.

IPod Touch can't sync with iTunes.

I have an iPod Touch, 5th generation. After updating to iOS 7.0.4, I am no longer able to sync with iTunes, ver 11.1.3.8. It gets stuck on step 4 of 4, "waiting for changes to be applied". Before the update, there was no problem with syncing. Does anyone have a way to correct this issue? I am using Windows 7. I really haven't liked anything about iOS 7, is there anyway to go back to a previous operating system?

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:

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?

IPod will no longer sync with iTunes

I started a thread before about how I could no longer sync the e-books I added to my iTunes account to my iPod touch. I'd found a workaround by e-mailing the books to myself and then opening them in iBooks on my iPod.
Now however I'm having the same issue with ALL THE CONTENT in my iTunes account. It still recognizes my device. I HAVE updated iTunes and my iOS (my iPod touch is 4th generation so I don't have/can't get iOS 7). I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes altogether. I have made sure the right boxes are clicked before syncing. It will go through the sync but the part where it says it is adding the files and shows them adding individually never happens. It just jumps to step 4 finishing and then when I check it never appears on my iPod. This is frustrating. What point is having an iPod if I can't USE it? It's basically a $200 paper weight. And YES I'm using the same apple ID, the same computer, etc. I've always used and I never had any problems before until a few months ago. It just stopped working. I've done most of the things suggested in all the other support threads I've read about similar issues and nothing has worked. Obviously lots of people are having this issue but from what I can tell the suggestions people are offering don't seem to help them.
So I guess I'm just putting this out there in the hopes that someone has a new idea to offer that will actually work? If not, does anybody wanna buy a 4th generation iPod touch?

I did restore from back-up as well. And I had thought of restoring my iPod to factory settings however...I just got my mother-in-law's old iPhone 3GS. Upon getting it from her I restored it to factory settings. After having the problems tonight syncing my iPod to iTunes I tried syncing the iPhone. It started out fine, showing it as a new device and setting it up. It shows both devices on my iTunes and then when I went to sync it I got the error message that none of the songs could be copied from my iTunes because they could not be found. But they all clearly show up in my iTunes. I had done this before when I was having the issue with my books and then I had deleted them all from iTunes and readded a few that I wanted to put on my iPod and it still wouldn't sync them. So I really don't want to take absolutely everything off my iPod and restore it to factory only to be unable to add anything from my iTunes ever again as is the case with the iPhone.

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.
-Jason
