Ipod Touch not syncing after Update

I've just restored my Ipod Touch with new software and it's been restored but it won't sync anything other than podcasts and the last album I added to my library.
All the boxes are ticked to sync music, apps, films etc but it's just not doing it.
Any ideas?

  • Ipod touch not working after update

    I just attempted to install the latest iPod touch software update via itunes. It downloaded and started installing and everything seemed normal. Then I got a weird error that said something along the lines of "Could not update ipod. Error 9" Now the ipod won't turn on at all, won't reset, and itunes doesn't recognize it. When I plug it into my pc (where it is synced), I get a windows bubble that pops up saying the device isn't recognized. When I plug it into my mac, nothing happens at all.
    Any suggestions?

    Hey everyone. I had this same issue (1st Gen iTouch crashed in the middle of the update with an error, then perpetually showed the USB cable picture and wasn't recognized by my PC).
    I was flying West for Thanksgiving, and the prospect of not having my music was so terrifying that out of complete desperation, I borrowed my roommate's Mac to see if I could somehow magically finish the update there. For whatever reason, it worked!
    I don't know if it was the fact that it was a Mac, an older version of iTunes, or what, but I was able to do a restore after downloading the new firmware on his computer (I think it was an old Powerbook G4), though I lost all my data. Still, it works now, and I was (thank God) able to listen to it on the plane trip after re-adding my music.
    So I wish I could give more details, but at the very least, THERE IS HOPE! Maybe someone more daring and less busy than I can narrow down the variables, otherwise I'll see if I can figure more out when I get back home this weekend. However, I sincerely hope Apple takes responsibility and figures it out themselves before then. Given how serious losing your ability to listen to portable music is for most of us, I really can't believe that they haven't even deigned to address this issue on their own boards.
    Anyway, happy Thanksgiving everyone, and hang in there.

  • Ipod does not sync after update

  • HT4235 ipod will not sync after mcafee vulnerability scan installs itunes update?

    ipod will not sync after mcafee vulnerability scan installs itunes update?

    When I tried the first time it asked me if i wanted it to stop syncing and to restore. It gave the choices of yes and cancel, i didn't click either because the option box went away and it just stopped restoring on its own. I did the store again and now it is asking if i want to set up as a new ipod or to restore to Andrea's ipod. Should I set up as new?
    Thank you Espeon for the article

  • My ipod is not syncing after I have reinstalled the operating system on my machine.

    My ipod is not syncing after I have reinstalled the operating system on my windows pc.

    2.2.1 is not the latest available for any ipod touch.
    Is yours the original ipod touch?
    If so then:

  • HT1386 My Ipod and Ipod touch both sync and update latest CD music added to Itunes, however when I connect my Iphone it wont sync my most recent CD addition to iTunes?

    My Ipod and Ipod touch both sync and update latest CD music added to Itunes, however when I connect my Iphone it wont sync my most recent CD addition to iTunes?

    I have my iTunes settings to prevent my iPod from synching automatically.
    Open iTunes (without the iPod Touch connected) , go to "iTunes"--->"Preferences"--->"Devices", select the box that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from synching automatically", select "OK".
    I would then close iTunes and then reopen it.  Verify that the settings you just changed are intact.
    Log into the iTunes store and update any Apps that you may have purchased. 
    Connect the iPod Touch via USB with iTunes open.  You will see the icon on the left side under "Devices" as normal, however it will not automatically sync.
    Click on the "Device" in iTunes and from there you can manually adjust all the items you want to sync and then select sync when you are ready.
    I sync mine this way because I feel it gives me more control over the syncing process.  Also, I always log into the iTunes store first, check for updates to my Apps and then connect the iPod to manually sync.
    So, to me, I guess that perhaps is a way to "force" the sync but in a controlled manner.
    I hope that helps.

  • Why does my ical on my ipod touch not sync with my ical on my desktop if I put in an event on the ipod calendar?

    Why does my ical on my ipod touch not sync with my ical on my desktop imac ical?
    It will if I put it in on my desktop though.
    Please help,
    Brie

    Probably because you did not tell the iPod to sync the calendar in iTunes.

  • HT201210 been trying to restore ipod touch for days after updating itunes. keep getting error #9. Tried it on 2 computers, with vista + XP. tried all the solutions posted. nothing is working. Thanks Apple. Didn't have this problem before updating itunes!

    Been trying to restore Ipod touch for days after updating Itunes. Error code #9. Stuck on restore screen. Tried all the solutions posted. Tried on 2 computers, Vista + XP. No device shown on computer. Thanks Apple! Didn't have this problem before update. How about rolling back your update?

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • After buying new PC, iPod Touch not syncing to iTunes

    Specs:
    PC with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit version
    iTunes 10.2.1.1, 64-bit version
    iPod touch 2nd Generation, iOS 4.2.1
    Situation:
    After building a new PC, I can't sync my ipod touch to itunes. The iPod Touch has been restored to factory settings. When plugging the iPod in, iTunes says "Syncing to the ipod timed out." I re-restored the iPod touch again. After it reinstalls the iOs and begins to sync the iPod Touch, I get the messages:
    "The ipod "xxx" cannot be synced. an error occurred while writing to the device."
    After a while longer, it says:
    "the ipod "xxx" cannot be synced. a folder was specified instead of a file."
    I have already uninstalled/reinstalled itunes, unisntalled all apple programs in individually and reinstalled itunes, plugged my iPod Classic and tested its ability to sync (no problems), I've restored my iPod Touch over ten times.
    I tried connecting the iPod touch to my old computer to see if it still works and it was able to detect it. I've turned off Windows Firewall in my new pc and tried syncing the ipod but that didn't work. I can't see my iPod Touch as a drive in My Computer in my new PC. I've checked device manager and there are no ? or ! icons next to any devices.
    Suggestions? I've researched this over 4 hours, called tech support, searched this forum, and quite frankly, I'm ready to throw this thing out the window. Your help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Perfect, thanks. Rarer than it used to be, but P55 chipsets have been known to be cranky with iPod/iPad/iPhone connections on Windows 7 systems.
    We'd better check to see if there's newer versions of the BIOS and/or chipset drivers available at ASUS for you. Head to the following page at ASUStek and try autodetecting your motherboard:

    If there are updates available, and you update, does that help with the syncing performance?

  • Now that I moved my itunes to a new computer why will my iphone and ipod touch not sync?

    I just switched my itunes to my new laptop from my desktop (which no longer works).  Everything seemed to be ok after I updated to the newest version of itunes.  Now I cannot get my iphone (3G) and my ipod touch to sync at all.  In fact when I plugged in my ipod touch it erased everything I had on there.  I know these are older devices but I had no problems with syncing previously so why now?  Even the backups will not work. 

    You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. If you switch iTunes will erase the iPod and replaces the media with what is in the iTunes library of the new computer.
    You should have done this:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    You said "Even the backups will not work.". What happens when you try to restore from backup?

  • IPod Touch not syncing w/ iMac iCal

    First post! I sync my iPod Touch with my iMac thru the cable. Recently my iPod touch stopped syncing w/ my iMac. for example: the calendar events on the iMac are not transferred to the iPod. Also on the iPod when I create an event, it will only give me the choice of either Calendar [imap_.Mac]:Mail To Do or Calendar, not all my different calendars like before. I don’t know what happened to change this. I restored the iPod but nothing changed. Perhaps it was a software update?
    I went to the genius bar and was told that the next time I synced the iPod, under the “Info” page to go to “Advanced”, Replace information on the iPod and click the boxes that I needed to replace. This did nothing. I then put an event on the iPod and synced it with the computer, the event was not transferred to the computer.
    Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

    Greetings,
    Have you restored the iPod? http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/ipodtouch/

  • IPod touch not working after data erase

    I have an iPod Touch 1st generation. Although it is old it always worked perfectly. It was until I put "erase all data" in the iPod settings when it stopped working. I'm not sure of what I did. I was expecting to erase only songs,apps, videos, photos, etc... but now I don't know if I erased some important software that makes the iPod work. The ipod always turn on when I charge it, but I only see the white apple and the sign that is loading. I'll be glad if you help me on this!

    Sadly, I too am having problems here...I recieved apple error 2330 sometime after the Fall...I have been trying to sleuth and work my way around all this mumbo jumbo for months!
    1) I cannot properly use iTunes for some reason
    2) I erased the data in my ipod Touch (1st generation) manually via the iPod Touch, and right after I did this, it gave me the Apple logo with the slash and the spinning progress wheel that users above mentioned...
    Please help us!

  • IPod touch not working after 5.0.1iOS update

    It seems like a lot of people are having issues after the new 5.0.1iOS update. I want to share my frustration and what problems I'm facing. After the update my ipod won't sync properly. It freezes my computer and then my computer shuts down everytime I have my ipod connected to my computer. My music and apps on my iPod are like ghosts they are visible but do NOT work after being pressed. I tried resetting the ipod, same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, same problem. There is only problems with my computer when the iPod is plugged into the computer and trying to update. I am so ANGRY because I love my iPod and I can't use it to listen to music or communicate with my family and friends. I hope Apple will help all of us soon and fix these HUGE bugs, and FAST.

    Have you tried the sandard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be 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
    - Retore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Can't sync iPod Touch 4th Gen after updating to IOS 6.0

    I've updated my 64GB iPod Touch 4th Gen to IOS 6.0, but now I can’t sync it with iTunes.
    It connects OK, but iTunes isn’t detecting what is already there - it thinks it is full of 48MB of “Other” (rather than music, apps, photos, etc.). In other words iTunes isn’t detecting what is already on the iPod properly (it just knows it’s nearly full of something).
    So if I try to sync, iTunes thinks it needs to add all my music, etc. again, and therefore says it’s way over capacity (i.e. 48MB of “other” + 48 MB of all my music, etc.).
    Help! Any suggestions?

    - Try resetting the car system if you can.
    Sometimes this works
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    However. sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility. In that case you will have to wait for a firmware update to either the care system or the iPod.
