IPod Touch syncing no longer showing summary screen on my computer
I transfered all my iTunes library onto my new computer and am now syncing my i-Pod touch to it. At the same time I am upgrading to 3.O. Suddenly I no longer can see my Ipod touch in Itunes listing on left hand side nor does it show the summary screen so I can tell how long my syncing will take. It seems like hours now that my iPod Touch is syncing (per the message on my ipod). How can I make my computer display the summary screen?
I'm having the same exact problem. The thing is...you can even see the songs that you've purchased on your ipod on the left still...it's just that the ipod itself won't show. So I can see what songs I've purchased on my ipod...but I can't put anything on or take any off. I've tried shutting down and restarting...reinstalling itunes...all of that stuff. Nothing has worked.

Ipod touch will no longer sync my songs, they show up for a few seconds then disappear help
for some reason when I try to sync my songs to my ipod touch, they will all show up briefly, then disappear once I hit the sync button? very frustrating, have never had this problem in the past, any suggestions would be great
If you haven't tried it yet, I'd eliminate memory issues first. Close all of the apps with the double tap on the home button method

then restart the device.

Hi, I recently discovered my ipod touch would no longer turn on. I've tried everything! All it does is show the low battery sign, and that is if it's connected to a computer. No matter how long I leave it charging, it does that. Is there a way to fix it? All I want are my contacts and my old calendar back. These did not sync with iTunes like my photos, music, and video. I can probably get an older, replacement iPod, but I don't want to have to readd all my important dates and reminders, as well as contact information. I guess I have two questions:
1) is there a way to get my ipod to start working again?
2) is there a way to get my old contacts and calendar back again?Try here:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
To get the calender and contacts back if you can't get the iPod working is to restore the new iPod from the backup of the old one. -
My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.
My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes. it tells me it cannot read the contents of the ipod then it says the ipod software server cannot be contacted. Any suggestions?
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Then try restoring again. -
2-3 old ipod touch is no longer syncing to itunes library, which was recently moved to new laptop.
Recently moved my library of music, audiobooks, and podcasts to new laptop with Windows 8, at which time I upgraded my itunes software as well. My 2-3 year old ipod touch is no longer syncing properly. Audiobooks and podcasts are fine (after much effort), but all of two songs out of an extensive music library are the only ones syncing. I see them in my library on the new computer and have managed to sync them to my iphone 5 as well. Ipod touch appears to have ample file storage space left. What gives? Is the i-pod touch already useless with the latest Itunes software? Operator error? Hardware problem? I don't know what to think. Have been using ipods for years without this issue.
Salut, et un accueil chaleureux aux forums!
Not certain I can help, but...

First try this:
- Go on iTunes computer
- plug in the iPod
- authorize your device from store/authorize
- iPod / transfer from iPod by right clicking on the left pane
This will only transfer iTunes purchased music, not ripped CDs. and it is unnecessary now, as the music can just be downloaded from the cloud. -
When I went to update my iPod touch on iTunes, it said unable to update then the iPod shutdown and no longer showed connected in iTunes. I have tried holding down both buttons for up to 3 mins with no luck turning it on, even after a full charge. Help?
Try:
- 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 iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod touch syncs but doesn't show in itunes
My iPod Touch syncs when first connected. But then it doesn't show up in the iTunes menu under devices anymore. Apple troubleshooting takes me in circles.
Here is the help article that actually worked:

a lot of work, but it finally is syncing. -
When syncing my iPod Touch, the "Other" category shows it's taking up a large amount of storage space on the device. What is in the "Other" category, and how do I control what goes into it?
Restore from a backup will get you some 'other' back.
Still not happy, Restore in iTunes, Setup as new. Sync back personal data using iTunes Tabs -
I have updated my Apple ID and password, but am now getting a message that iCloud can't sync. On my iPod Touch, it still is showing up as my old Apple ID/email address.
Thanks! I found an earlier post making reference to deleting the account and then signing back in with the new info -- basically the same idea. Thanks for your help!

What used to work just fine, is no longer working...
Within the last 2 days, song purchases that were made on my ipod Touch are no longer being transferred when the ipod synchs up. The strange thing is that the songs appear in iTunes --> Store -- Purchased list, but are greyed out. They play just fine on the ipod...but aren't making it back to the Mac.
I have tried right clicking on the ipod when it appears in iTunes and selecting "Transfer purchases", but that doesn't seem to work either.
Any clues as to what is going on?
Thanks,
TimOne other very important piece of information I forgot to include...the purchases were made prior the iOS update. So the sequence of events went like this:
1) ipod Touch with previous iOS (4.0 I think)
2) purchases made
3) ipod connected and iTunes prompts for iOS update
4) iOS upgraded to 5.0
5) Now the purchases seem to be stranded on the ipod Touch
Thanks! -
After purchasing songs at the itunes store, my ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. It won't send the purchases to the device and it won't synch any other music to the device. Also a lock symbol is now displayed at the top of the ipod touch. How do I fix this.
This was the first purchase I made.Are you following these instructions?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Where is the lock icon on the screen?
