TS1538 Unable to see iPod Touch 2G in Windows Vista Unless User is Admin

Problem: Newly acquired iPod Touch 2G cannot be recognized as a device on a Vista 64-bit system unless the user is logged in as an admin. Then it is recognized correctly and able to work in iTunes. Obviously, having the user logged in as an admin defeats the purpose of administrative tools. We've tried every article recommendation in the knowledgebase, including a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes as the last step. We did this while she was logged in as an admin to make it easier, and sure enough, everything worked perfectly. Now she is logged in under her normal profile but the iPod is not recognized. What else is recommended? We can't have her logged in as an admin all the time just to sync up her iPod. Help!

Have you tried everything here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
including:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Tried another cable
Tried another computerto help determine if yo have an iPod or computer problem.

Yes its all up to date, it used to connect to my laptop running vista but my laptop died so i moved my libary across to an old pc bunning xp but it just wont sync and doesnt show up when i run the diagnostics, but when i tried it on a friends laptop running vista it synced her entire libary (over 2500 songs) straight away.

Can the iPod Touch Sync with Windows XP

I am contimplating purchasing an iPod Touch to replace my Palm Pilot. Okay, you can stop laughing now. I intend on using the iPod touch for mostly contacts and calendar events. I also realize there is no way to transfer my current information on my computer to the iPod Touch. But is there a way / program that I can load on to Windows XP that will sync information?

- If yoo use the Communities search box in the upper right and search for palm and restrict the search to the iPhone forum you will find out how to import your Palm data.you will find out how to get your Palm contacts and some other stuff into your iPod
If you purchase a 3G or later iPod you can go to icloud.com (requires iOS 5 or later) on the computer and access/edit/add contacts, calendar and maybe some other stuff.

ICal on Mac desktop to iPod Touch syncing problem

I have events on my iPod Touch that will not sync to my Mac OS 10.6.8 desktop.
What I've done that may have caused this:
I got a new MacBook for Christmas and so I tried syncing all 3 with iCloud, but that caused duplicate events
I tried only using MacBook & iPod Touch for sycing with iCloud and then directly syncing from my iPod with USB to my desktop, but it stopped syncing (later I found that my cord needed to be replaced, but I'm not sure if that was the problem - I was still dealing with some duplicate events, too)
I decided to stop using iCloud (I can do without using my iCal on my MacBook if there's no ideal solution to sync all 3 without duplications or other problems) and now my iPod Touch syncs well with my desktop for most items, but not all
I think my desktop thinks the events that are syncing have already been synced because they were in the past. The one that was important that I missed today, which is on my desktop (a repeating event) but is no longer on my iPod Touch, refuses to sync to my desktop. There may be more that I haven't noticed.
I thought maybe I could wipe my iPod Touch calendar and then sync my desktop to my iPod Touch, but I'm afraid that it might wipe my desktop as I don't know how to tell it to only go one way in syncing rather than acting as if it's a new program.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Be sure you've set your iPod to the correct time zone (ie, same as your computer). If you're on the East Coast it's three hours ahead of Apple HQ's time zone. A 5:00pm appointment in New York is at 2:00pm to someone using a Californian clock. Make sure your Touch isn't a Californian clock.

Trying to sync iPod touch after reinstalling Windows

Hi there.
I had to reinstall windows on my computer.
Now, I'm trying to get my iPod Touch synced again with iTunes.
However, every time I try (whether it's thru WiFi or USB), I keep getting a message warning me that:
"The iPod is synced with another iTunes library. An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. What would you like to do?
Erase and Sync - replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library
Transfer Purchases - copies iTunes Store purchases this computer is authorized to play from this iPod to this iTunes library."
I've already tried clearing everything; I've deauthorized this computer etc.. signed back in again etc.. I still keep getting the same thing though.
I don't know what else to do. There's nothing currently in my iTunes on my computer, so if I do the "Erase and Sync" option, I'll lose just about everything, except for a few purchases or whatever..
If anyone knows how to resolve this, please let me know ASAP!!
I also have my iPod backed up to iCloud, which I know pretty much nothing about.. I don't know where my stuff is actually backed up at, like where to go for it, nor at all how I'd go about doing a "restore" or anything...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

ONCE AGAIN THIS **** THING COMES UP WITH THIS MESSAGE... HAPPENED AT THREE TIMES OR MORE NOW!!!!!!
"RESTORE INCOMPLETE
SOME ITEMS COULD NOT BE DOWNLOADED FROM THE STORE. IF THEY ARE ON YOUR COMPUTER, YOU CAN RESTORE THEM BY SYNCING WITH ITUNES."
WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY HAVE THESE SO-CALLED "BACKUP" OPTIONS IF THEY'RE NOT GOING TO EVEN F-ING RESTORE ?!?!?!!?!?!
THANKS A LOT APPLE!!!!!!! ):

Don't know why you would.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like.

I cannot copy or sync any songs/ albums to my ipod touch 64gb. Have no problem with my ipad and iphone.

Tried both methods you have mentioned previous many times without success - to answer your questions
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Nothing is copied
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Yes
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
No
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Yes - just once when I first got it
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Yes computer os has been updated, I think
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Yes, on my computer and on my ipad and phone
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Yes, synced my iPhone first, this morning
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
Tried every combination imaginable, including the settings that I had when syncing my iPhone this morning.
Hope this helps - it's a real pain.

I am havving exactly the same problem, but I have both with my Ipod Touch and my Ipod classic. I neeed help.

How do I transfer a voice memo from my Ipod touch to my windows 8 laptop please?

How do I transfer a voice memo from my Ipod touch to my windows 8 PC please?

Hi its pretty simple. So
*First download the latest iTunes version and install it on the PC.
*Plug in your Apple Device to your PC
*The iTunes window will automatically pop up when you have connected your device, if it doesnt happen , open iTunes manually.
*Choose Your device and there it would show you the "Summary","Apps", "Music","Movies" etc etc..
*Go to Music and click on the option "Sync Music"
*When you tick that option , the other options would be enabled.They are the "Entire Library", "Selected Playlists...", "include music videos", "include voice memos".
*Tick only "Include voice memos"
*Now it should start syncing and show you a separate folder saying Voice Memos on the Left side where all your other folders are there on itunes page.
*You can access those audio files by going to the C:_Users*_My Music_iTunes_iTunes media_Voice Memos!!
NOTE: IF THOSE VOICE MEMOS DONT GET TRANSFERRED TO YOUR PC , THEN IN YOUR DEVICE , NAME ALL YOUR VOICE MEMOS AND THEN TRY THE WHOLE PROCESS AGAIN.
NO NEED TO BE DOWNLOADING THE ITUNES AGAIN AND AGAIN.
Hope this helps You

How do i transfer music from my ipod touch to a windows 7

How do i transfer music from my ipod touch itunes on windows xp

If it is just the music you are after, then steps 2 & 3 have you covered. If you no longer have access to the computer you used to sync with then you may want all the information...
iTunes is designed to sync devices to a single library. When you try to switch libraries you may lose some or all of the information curently stored on the device. To prevent this you should be able to:
Backup the device to a new installation
Transfer your purchases into an authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

IPod touch sync freezes

iPod touch sync freezes at calendar sync, wired or wireless. Have rebooted computer and restored ipod to no avail. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help. After running "Activity Monitor" and going through the iTunes/iPod Touch sync process I was able to determine the suspect application that most likely caused the conflict.
While watching "Activity Monitor" almost immediately an application called "CNQL1208_ButtonManager" crashed - locking up the computer. I was able to determine by checking out a few bulletin boards that this application is the culprit in more than one problem on both Macs and Pc's. It's an app that gets loaded at start-up, which monitors the buttons on the front of my Canon Scanner (Model LiDE 35). Part of the CanoScan software download/driver for this model. I trashed this file and everything appears to work fine. In fact, the sync with my iPod touch seems to happen much faster.
The other possibility is that there was a conflict with PalmBackground Monitor, but this doesn't appear to be the case.
Thanks again for the Activity Monitor suggestion.

Basically... I had an ipod touch sync'd to my dads i tunes.. i then got an iphone and created my own apple id.. how could i transfer the media from my ipod which was used on a different apple id onto my own account without everything deleting

Syncing an iDevice to a computer does not remove content from the computer.
Syncing an iDevice to a computer that it does not normally sync with will remove the content from that device.
If the media was acquired with a different Apple ID it is in no way linked to your Apple ID.
