Ipod touch syncing in iTunes

I sync my iPod Touch (1st Gen) in iTunes and when it's disconnected all of the content is gone. This just started recently. I did a restore and reloaded all of the contents but everything disappeared again after I synced. The apps remain but the music and video library disappear.
Thanks,
Sandy A

I have the same exact problem. It is becoming more routine. I have tried different simple things and nothing really seems to work. I have sat and 'monitored' it while it syncs. I have left it alone to take however long it needs to, I have left it overnight, and there seems to be no pattern as to why it does it. Sometimes I have just ejected it, and plugged it back in a few minutes later and it works fine. Other times I have had to restore it and start from scratch. Sadly I have posted this issue on several forums with no resolution. Guess one thing I can take comfort in is that I am not crazy and it is happening to others. Whatever comfort that is LOL. if you have heard anything at all regarding this please share, and I will do the same if I get an answer from somewhere else. This started within the last year.

  • Why wont my ipod touch sync with itunes, and how can I fix it

    Key Facts:
    -I have an ipod touch (model number MC008LL)
         -It's probably running the same iOS id did in the package
    -It won't sync (and more importantly update to i0S5)
         -It's not a failed/slow sync, the option to sync as well as all other options under "Devices" is Grayed out
    -I am running iTunes 11.0.4
    -the Belkin cord I am using charges the ipod, and I think it was the one I used to sync it before.

    You have a 3G iPod and those can go as high as 5.1.1.  What exactly happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and try to update via iTunes? You need iTunes 10,5 or higher on the computer.
    After you get it updated see if syncs.

  • IPod touch sync with iTunes Error -18

    Hi
    Today I want to use my iPod touch but they was no music on it (the pictures are ok).
    At home I try to sync the iPod touch with the lib, I don’t run
    I got the message that the sync is not possible error code -18, a restore is mot possible too.To solve this problem I reset the iPod touch (setup-> common -> reset all)
    Is it a hardware / software error on the iPod touch?
    thanks
    Frank

    Follow these instructions ... be sure to continue to hold down the HOME button when your release the SLEEP/ON/OFF button as indicated:
    1.) connect the ipod
    2.) Pres and hold both home and off switch untill the apple logo apears
    3.) When apple logo apears let go off the off switch but not the home
    4.) You should see the logo of a cd and a usb cord
    5.) Open itunes. If it still doesnt see it, unplug the ipod and close and reopen itunes and then plug your ipod
    Itunes should take over from there

  • IPod Touch Syncing with Itunes

    Well I've finally been able to get my used Ipod Touch back in working order, upon connecting it to my computer for the first time i've run into another issue. When I attempt to sync my Ipod with Itunes it pops up a windows message "SyncServer has stopped working" and then a moment later "Itunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later"
    I've looked around the support pages and the forums with no luck.
    Thank you, I would appreciate it if anyone is able to point me in the right direction.
    ++addition info: It has some of the previous owner's songs on it and a couple of apps, none of which I want, so any data loss wont bother me in the slightest.
    ??quick Q: Do i need to register the ipod under my account or convert my account to an itunes store account(or something like that) in order just to sync my songs i have on my computer?

    Here's a post about the SyncServer problem: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2384885&start=50&tstart=0
    Apps can only be used with the account they where bought with. Delete the apps from the last owner and change the Store settings to your account in Settings/Store by logging in with your account info.

  • Why won't my iPod Touch sync before iTunes crashes?

    Last night, I tried to sync my new iPod Touch for the first time. I plugged it in and iTunes recognized it, and the 6 step process began. However, every time it reaches the 2nd step iTunes will shut down all by itself. It is very frustrating since it is a new iPod and iTunes works decently before. Help?
    I have also tried re-installing iTunes on the same computer, and the same problem occured. MAybe it was just me, but I am not sure what else to do.

    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar.  Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.

  • Why can't my ipod touch sync with itunes 11?

    I am currently using an iphone 5 and an ipod touch 3rd generation. I had to upgrade my itunes to sync my iphone but now I can no longer sync and back up my ipod touch. I'm not sure if it's because my itunes is too advanced for my ipod which is using IOS 5(I think). I remember I used to be able to put songs in and all but now itunes keeps asking me to restore it to factory setting which I do no want to do every time I want to add music. Is there any way to fix this problem? Or do I really have to restore my ipod every time? Please Help.

    Something happened and yo have to restore via iTunes. Backup to iTunes if yo can and then restore from that backup
    All old devices can sync with the newest iTunes

  • Will iPod Touch sync with iTunes via Wi-Fi ?

    Forgive me if it's here somewhere but I cannot seem to find any info on this.
    I'm thinking it would be really neat if I could just pop the iPod Touch on my speaker dock to charge when I'm at home, whilst updating the content wirelessly via my laptop/home network.
    Is this possible?

    Thanks.
    I was reading about the Zune yesterday which made me wonder if the Touch would work the same.
    A USP for the Zune until Apple sort out an update!

  • Why won't my iPod touch sync with iTunes?

    I recently bought a new song and wanted to put it on my iPod.  Every time I went to sync it "timed out" and wouldn't show up on my iPod (ie the sync failed).  I tried updating iTunes.  My iPod won't get any new updates since its 2nd generation.  I've tried the diagnostics and everything checks out okay there.  My computer is up to date.  I thought I'd try to do a restore and now I have less songs and none of my apps.  It's now getting "stuck" on other songs from my collection.  Any help?

    Okay, so I think it may be the cable b/c when I hold it just right it works much better.  It still will get stuck on certain songs but when I try again it works.

  • Why won't some apps on my ipod touch sync to itunes 11 on my computer?

    I'm backing up some apps I have onto itunes on my computer, but like 3 apps I have paid for aren't syncing, and I don't know why.

    - You do not have the apps checked to syn.
    - The apps are not compatible with your model iPod and its iOS
    - You have restrictions set that prevent syncing those app. Settings>General>Restrictions

  • I dropped my iPod Touch in a puddle on a camping trip and I sent it to the Pod Drop.  I just want to get the pix of my family(I have no copies of them) from the device.Do pix from the iPod Touch save in iTunes when it Syncs?  If so how do I find them?

    I dropped my iPod Touch in a puddle on a camping trip and I sent it to the Pod Drop.  I told them that I am only concerned about getting the photos of my family and friends from the device.  I know that all of the songs are saved in iTunes on my computer.  They told me that they were not able to retrieve the pictures from my device.  I recently sync'ed my iPod Touch before it broke.  Do the photos that I save on my iPod Touch save to iTunes or to my computer when I sync the device?  If so, how do I retrieve those pictures from iTunes or from my computer?
    Also, if I buy a new iPod Touch how can I transfer my songs from iTunes to the new device? 
    Thanks!
    Luke

    Photos taken by and saved to the iPod are included in the backup that iTunes makes evetime you sync or if do a manual or iCloud backup.
    Per the following the backup includes:
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    Camera Roll (Photos, screenshots, images saved, and videos taken. Videos greater than 2 GB are backed up with iOS 4.0 and later.)
    Note: For devices without a camera, Camera Roll is called Saved Photos.
    Thus if you backed up after the photos were taken yuo can restore an iDevice from that backup

  • Windows 7 64 bit, iPod touch 2nd gen, iTunes sync issue

    I have Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium and am frustrated to death. I have spent days wiping out my iPod trying something different an only to start all over again. I am not a n00b to computers and only ask because I only find a trail of tears and none of the problems I see look specifically like mine.
    I have been following this issue since Feb 2010 and notice reports that are sort of similar back to Jan of 2009. Anyway here is my problem.
    iTunes will recognize my iPod touch 2nd Gen. iTunes will "sync" apps and data. iTunes will not sync movies, music, books, or software upgrades.
    I get an error code that changes depending on what I am trying and seems to lead to no where. I can't honestly remember the code anymore.
    I can sync with this same computer using Windows XP 32 Pro win a VirtualBox VM, but can not do it directly from within Windows 7. So hardware and drivers are not the issue. I reinstalled iTunes with a Vista 64 bit install that I found online which appeared to work temporarily then ultimately I ended up back where I started.
    I actually switched to Windows (from linux) because I got tired of the VirtualBox method. Quite ironic that I am still facing the same issue.
    On top of the not being able to sync properly from Windows 7 64 bit. Everytime I try I have to put in hours of work to get my Ipod back to working order as iTunes only allows you to sync with one computer and is slower that snail poop in January. In order to try again I have to be willing to commit to the problems that I am most likely to encounter.
    So my questions are
    1. Does anyone have a clue why Apple has not fixed this issue? or is there a solution I don't know about?
    2. Is there an easier way to attempt a fix that does not require me to re organize my 70+ apps on my iPod?
    P.S. I do not have an intel based chipset as that seems to have been an issue for others. I have
    ASUS M2V VIA K8T890 AM2 Mother Board
    CPU AMD|A64 X2 4600+
    VGA EVGA GF 7300GT
    Have tried direct to MB USB and through powered Hub

    Are you sure that you downloaded the 64 bit version and not the 32 bit version?  I would delete the download and try again.  You also might want to look at the iTunes forum since youu have an iTunes problem and not an iPod problem.
