Ipod touch stopped syncing with itunes since ios 5 upgrade

Can someone PLEASE ADVISE ME!
I spent off and on 24 hours finally getting my ios 5 update on my ipod touch 4g. When i first upgraded itunes to 10.5, when I tried to upgrade to ios5 the udgrade kept crashing. Then my ipod stopped syncing with itunes. Im on a PC with windows 7 (64-bit). So I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. My ipod coninues to not sync. So, I finally reverted my ipod back to factory settings and then it took like 8 hours total for my ipod to revert, update to ios 5, and then resync my apps, music & vids and settings with itunes. I thought YES EVERYTHING IS GREAT. Starting using ios 5 and was loving it. Till, i wanted to resync with itunes to enable wifi syncing.
Now, everytime i plug in my ipod, it says Syncing my ipod (step 2 of 8) and the stripy thing is moving...and below that it ways Backing up
but then it just keeps saying this for hours. never moves beyond "step 2", So i end up having to open task manager and closing out itunes. Then when i reopen itunes it will freeze up. I uninstalled'reinstalled itunes now 4 times and the same thing happens...the sync never gets beyon step 2...backing up.
WHAT CAN I DO? please help! Desperate

ah now i see your reply in the thread. well, i am sorry yours wont tuen on or even get recognized. *** is going on with this stuff. i really love the ios5 but if i cant sync with itunes im screwed. i dont want to have to pay for more iCloud storage for backing up either!!!
I really hope someone can advise me. Cuz i fear I may have to try and revert back to factory and spend like 6 or 7 hours again trying to resync and re set up my ipod

3rd Gen Ipod won't sync with Itunes since upgrade to Snow Leopard

Hi,
I upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard and since then my trusty 3rd Gen Ipod will not sync with iTunes (9.0.3). It mounts in Finder, but does not appear in iTunes. The iPod will still charge, but it constantly displays the "Do Not Disconnect" message until manually ejected.
Any help gratefully received.

Thank you kindly

Ipod touch wont sync with nook since 5.0.1

Before the upgrade my touch would sync with the nook using the nook app and the nook would sync with the touch. Now it won't despite setting book marks or resyncing. My ipad still syncs both ways with no problems.

I found this Apple help topic that matches your problem description:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1207
Your profile lists 10.4.8 as your operating system; try updating to the latest release which is 10.4.11. I hope this helps & enjoy your iPod touch.

TS1591 iPod Touch Stopped Syncing to iTunes

So my iPod Touch 4th Generation(iOS 6.1.5) stopped syncing after the iTunes 11.1.4 update for Windows. My laptop is an Asus Vivobook (Windows 8.1) and iTunes was working perfectly fine before the new update. The iPod is recognized on my laptop but it won't show up in iTunes when I connect it. (the iPod also does get charged so it's probably unrelated to the charging cable)
Is this happening to anyone else and did anyone find a solution? Should I just try to downgrade the iTunes app??
I looked at the help page for when iPod doesn't show up and tried all of the steps but it didn't work.
I'm really hoping that this gets resolved soon and that many more won't have the same problems in the future!

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
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
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem

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 stopped working with iTunes with OS upgrade

I have a problem with my iPod Touch connecting to iTunes. It is a new
It has worked fine in the past, but stopped working once I upgraded from OS 10.4.x to OS 10.5.. I can still see/ sync my old 3rd generation iPod just fine.
I am currently using iTunes 8.0.1. The iPod is charging fine with the cord provided. The iPod works fine, but I would like to load the Apps I purchased and update the podcasts I listen to.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I apologize for posting a bit early. Found an Alpine manual online and i needed to set the AUX port to off. They also recommended a reset of the Touch. After doing these two things it is now working. Maybe this will help someone else.

IPod Touch Cannot Sync with iTunes

I just got back my iPod touch from an apple store, after i had a previous problem with it restoring but they fixed that problem. Now, when i try to sync my iPod with my itunes library i get tons of different error messages and it doesn't work. Sometimes i will get "The iPod "name of ipod" cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found". If I click ok to that message, I get another error message saying "The iPod "name of iPod" cannot be synced. A folder was specified instead of a file." If I try to manually drag songs onto my iPod in itunes, nothing happens at all. At other times when I try to Sync it, I get another error message saying -6999. Now it says The Device Timed Out.
Please help me :S
Also, if i click on like photos, movies or music tabs, it shows the music sign and "Canceling Sync" (on my ipod)

Wow , ok now no matter what i try it says Cannot be synced, the iPod timed out.
Now in an attempt to fix it, i attached the usb cable to the back of the computer, now i get an error message like this "The iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13014.
It seems every single error message is against me

IPod Touch wont sync with itunes

So every time i try to sync my ipod touch i get this error message
Attempting to copy to the disk "iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
i recently updated to software update 2.1 and ever since then i cant sync my music
What do i do?

Your profile states Mac OS X (10.4.8) - is that correct? If so, that's most likely your problem - the iPod Touch requires at least 10.4.10.

How come my ipod touch wont sync with itunes? it says an unexpected error occured

the message i get when i plug in my ipod to my laptop is itunes cannot sync with my ipod due to an unexpected error and thats it what do i do now?

What was the full wording of the error message?

IPod touch wont sync with iTunes. Weird errors!

Anytime I try to sync anything to my iPod touch, I get one of the following error messages;
1.)Attempting to copy to the disk “Duncan’s iPod” failed. There are too many files open currently.
2.)The iPod “Duncan’s iPod cannot be synced. An internal device error occurred.
3.)iTunes could not copy “a song of mine” to the iPod “Duncan’s iPod” because an unknown error occurred [-42].
4.)The iPod “Duncan’s iPod” cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found.
5.)The app “various apps” could not be installed on the iPod “Duncan’s iPod” because an unknown error occurred (0xE8008001).
Most of the time, it's either the first or second error, but it changes pretty much every time.
I have tried restoring my iPod (that didn't work), erasing all content and settings on my iPod (that didn't work), even uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes (that didn't work, either!).
Any help, any help AT ALL would be appreciated.

by the looks of thing from what the second person said about using it on other computers it looks like it could be the version of itunes because there was a simuler problem when they brought the first itunes 10.1 out people had problems every where i have the same problem at the moment but i might have a temp fix to it till they fix this but wich is uninstalling itunes and installing an older virsion from filehippo.com hope this helps you i am going to give it a try my self

IPod will not sync with Itunes since updated to 7.2034 error 1418

The IPod still works when not connected to PC but when connected an error message comes up that it is corrupted and will need to be restored. When this attempted error 1418 eventually appears.
I have tried by resetting the Drivers in windows - updating didnt work so deleted and restored USB Mass Storage Drivers
Have set up and run the appleipod.bat still didnt work
Have tried to reformat IPod as a drive but I couldnt get that to work but that might be how I attemted it. using "Run" Format g:\(g being the Ipod Mass Storage drive name)
One other point is that the Ipod has lost its name
So does any one have any other solutions

Thanks deggie
I have been to the local apple store in the end and they tried on a Mac, the IPod worked OK, and then they used a Mac in XP - the connecton was very slow but worked also. Their surgestion Copy Itune files to extenal hard drive and reinstall Itune again. Copy back music before running ITunes
This worked and all back to normal. It therefore was a problem with corrupted Itunes in windows. The Ipod is now listed in My Computed correctly as well now.
Thanks again for help

My ipod nano will no longer sync with itunes since i purchased an iphone 4s and synced the phone with itunes. When I plug my ipod into my imac, it does not even read or recognize my ipod. What do i do?

Are you using the original cable that came with Nano and not your iPhone's cable? Have you worked through the troubleshooting in this Apple support document?
