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.

  • 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.

    Well, there is always the possibility that it's been jailbroke, in which case, you're out of luck.  However...

  • 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.

    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 stuck trying to shut down

    I tried to power off my iPod Touch (hold the top button down, wait for the "slide to power off" to appear and do the slide) and now all I see is the spinning icon and the iPod is hung.  It is not responding to any buttons on the device.  It seems that it is stuck somewhere in its shutdown routine.  Any idea how to actually shut it off.  I've held the home and power buttons down for like 2 minutes.  nothing.  Its been in this state of trying to shut off for over an hour.
    Tried connecting it to a computer.  The computer ignores it. 
    Any ideas other than wait till the battery dies?

    Not that I know of.  You can continue to try and reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together, or connecting it to iTunes in recovery mode, but that's it.  Here is more information on getting your iPod into recovery mode.

  • New ipod touch wont sync and a frozen screen what do i do have restored it but nothing

    I have a new ipod touch  just put it on the computer for the first time and it wont sync and has a frozen screen.
    i have restored it and that did not work.

    Unplug your iPod from your computer and hold down the home and power buttons until the screen turns off. Then hold them again until the Apple logo shows. Eventually, your iPod should work again.

  • Will contacts deleted on iPod Touch truly sync and get deleted in AB?

    I have many, probably 100, duplicates of contacts in my Address Book and thus on my iPod Touch, which I would like to delete on the iPod Touch and then sync and have them also delete on my MacBook Pro.  Is it possible to do this?  Or will the computer try to 'save' or 'keep' these contacts? (I want to delete them from the Touch and sync it to the computer - rather than vice versa - because I am without my MB Pro for a month and would like to handle this now.)
    The Touch manual says "contacts are synced both ways between your computer and iPod Touch. New entries or changes made on iPod Touch are synced to your computer."
    This is not entirely clear because the computer could decide that these are not "changes" but deletion on the Touch and might just keep them in the OS 10 Address Book application.  Another unsuccessful possibility could be that the MB Pro syncs them back onto the iPod Touch which it might consider as doing it's side of the syncing job, which would defeat the purpose of what I'm trying to do. 
    Any clear definite answers to this so I won't have to do this process of deleting duplicate entries twice should they not delete on the MB Pro?
    Thanks. 

    Instead of deleting the duplicates on your touch, delete them on your Mac. After that, use the feature to replace all contact info on the ipod during the next sync in iTunes. You can find this option in the info pane, advanced section with your ipod connected.
