Ipod Touch not syncing and needing to be restored everytime I try to sync

I have a 64gb Ipod touch 5th generation. It is about two years old. I have never dropped it nor has it ever had water damage.
Every time I try to add new music to my ipod, it will not sync properly and it freezes after about 20mins of syncing and will then say my ipod is over capacity but I have 20gb remaining. I will then need to restore my ipod and add all my music back and it will then eventually sync all of the music.
I can't seem to find a way to fix this, How do I sync new music to my ipod with having to restore it each time.
It will also not restore to a previous backed up version.

If a PC
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
The restore again
- 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 DFU mode and then restore

  • How do I sync "On My iPod touch" notes with and IMAP account?

    I wrote a number of notes in the Notes app before I configured it to sync with an IMAP account. I have added an IMAP acct. to the device and configured that acct. to sync notes. Notes now has an accounts section, and that section lists "On My iPod touch" and the IMAP acct. How do I get the "On My iPod touch" notes sync'd with my IMAP?

    Have you tried restoring the ipod?

    If this fails, then it is likely a hardware problem.

    Hey gwscrt,
    Since iTunes directed to you to restore your iPod, I'd check out the following article that goes over the steps to do so:
    Restoring iPod to factory settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1339
    I would read the document in full, but here are the applicable steps for you:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    Have a good one,
    David

  • 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,

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

    iPod touch not responding and has white screen. Tried to restore, drain battery and re-charge etc but still nothing. What can I do?

    Try what you have not tried so far. You may have tried all and the Apple store maybe in order.
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 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?

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

  • HT201263 My iPod will not charge and I can't restore it. HELP

    I just recently bought my iPod Touch 5th Generation and I've been charging it through my MacBook.  However, it's recently stopped charging and a pop-up often comes up saying it was "draining too much power" from my laptop so the ports were turned off.  I've also tried to charge it through my desktop computer and the computer doesn't even recognize it.  My iPod doesn't show up in my iTunes when it's plugged in and the battery is completly drained.  I don't have any idea how it fix this, any advice would be much appreciated.

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ipod Touch not syncing and/shutting down Windows 7 x64

    I recently upgraded my HP Pavilion to Windows 7 Home Premium, from Vista Home Premium and have been experiencing a major problem with the connection of my iPod touch to my computer. The iPod is a 16GB (ver. 3.2.1(7D11)). The issue is that my iPod won't sync anymore to my computer. When I connect the device, iTunes opens and starts to sync. About 20 seconds later the iPod shuts off and the computer restarts...blue screen...and reboots like nothing happened. Error reporting shows a "Video Hardware Error" with a bunch of information about the problem. I have searched and searched for different solutions (reinstalling iTunes, going in from a different user account on the computer, deleted certain files or resetting settings) with no results that remotely fix the issue. It's to the point now that the iPod won't sync at all and I have no way to get new music, etc onto the device. Any thoughts?

    Found a fix...this is a hotfix that is through MS and spans multiple posts. It's a USB hotfix for people needing to fix many issues (external HD, thumb drives, ipods, etc...). Things to remember, this hotfix is for Win 7 with certain parameters, please read the posts for seeing if your machine is applicable to the hotfix. Also, USE INTERNET EXPLORER for all downloads and fixes through MS. For some reason Firefox send incorrect data to MS. Below is the link the the hotfix discussion. Mark, a MS Pro Tech is on that really helped get this going. I hope this works, two sync's in and we are all square. Thanks for your patience.

  • 3rd gen iPod Touch not syncing with iTunes 10.4.1 on Lion?

    I've had a 3rd gen 64GB iPod Touch for almost two years now and I've only had one problem with syncing it before. I followed this (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1747) and it helped. But since I updated my MacBook Pro to Lion, this article no longer applies and iTunes hasn't recognized my iPod. My iPod does show up in iPhoto though. Everything is fully updated and I restored my iPod using another computer, but even after doing that my iPod isn't recognized in iTunes. Also, my iPod won't go into recovery mode. It shows the connect to iTunes screen but when I connect it, nothing happens. I've tried restarting my computer and my iPod many times and I've tried everything I know.
    Now, since restoring, I have nothing on my iPod and I use it every day so any help would be appreciated.

    I figured out how to show the hidden files, but even after doing that, the files weren't there.  On the page that you showed me, it says "Note: These steps do not apply to OS X Lion" and since I am using Lion, it didn't work

  • IPod Touch not syncing music

    Why oh why do things that worked previously not work now? This happens so much with Apple products!!!
    I have tried now several times to sync my plugged-in iPod Touch with my iTunes selected songs and playlists.
    I have checked the boxes about manually managing music. I have chosen for the iPod to sync with a playlist in my iTunes library, and even tried just dragging the songs over.....They still do not show up on the iPod.
    I did a manual reset, holding down the On/Off button and home button on the iPod, and it still isn't syncing correctly.

    I had a similar problem yesterday. Even after "restoring" it still would not sync the music but did sync the videos!! In another thread I found some help from "John Guo" who suggested
    "Try putting the iPod into recovery mode. To do that, turn off the iPod. Then it on and hold the Home button until it asks you to connect to iTunes. Plug the iPod into your computer and restore it. Hope this works."
    I did that & all works fine now. One other thing I did was set NO automatic syncing in itunes prefs. I when it asked after the restore I did NOT restore settings from backup bu designated it a new ipod.
    Good luck,
    Harris

  • Ipod Touch not syncing Win 8 64, iTunes 11

    Hi,
    New install of win 8 64
    New install of iTunes 11.0.0.163
    iPod Touch original with OS 3.1.3
    Whenever I sync music file or videos to this iPod Touch iTunes will hang mid sync. Sometime it hangs close to the beginning and sometimes towards the end. Sometimes a video or song or two will make it onto the iPod but most often it just hangs. If I leave it for abou 10 minutes then iTunes will eventually return control with a timeout message saying my device timed out.
    All the songs and vidoes synced on this device a few days ago when I was using XP and an earlier verison of iOS on the iPod -- the files are good.
    Things I have done to try and fix this:
    -- upgraded the iOS on the iPod Touch -- I'm now on 3.1.3 and it didn't work and cost me a few dollars
    -- reset the iPod Touch -- a full reset, and then set up "as new iPod" on iTunes -- didn't work and I lost some photos (no big deal)
    -- reinstalled iTunes for 64 bit on Win 8 -- didn't work, I'm definitely using 64 (iPodhelper service shows as 64 bit in TM)
    -- run iTunes in Win 7 compatibility mode -- didn't work and iTunes functioned very poorly and hung almost from the start
    -- changed the videos from "Home Video" to music video -- didn't work
    -- changed the videos from "Home Video" to "TV Programme" -- didn't work
    Looking for tips.
    Yours sincerely
    Pauly
