IPod touch will NOT mount in iTunes after restore on a different mac

My touch was stuck in recovery mode and my ibook just wouldn't finish restoring it...always ended with an error and the cycle just kept going.
I took it to my girlfriend's house and restored it on her macbook (running tiger as well). It works fine, but now I want to sync it with my mac and get the january software update, so i plug it into my ibook and it's simply not showing up in itunes. it begins to charge just fine, but it won't mount to sync.
I have tried:
Re-installing itunes
re-installing the apple mobile device package.
Re-booting the mac
re-booting the ipod
using a different USB cable
using a different USB port
none of it has helped. it just continues to charge, but not be recognized. any help would be appreciated.

Do you have Leopard? I have the Ipod touch 8gb with the software update i just upgrade to leopard yesterday and plug in my ipod it charged but that was it. So i found here several people reinstalled Itunes due to Apple installer that was like uninstalled during leopard so i reinstalled Itunes and it works perfect now Hope it does the same for you.

    Why won't it sync? Are you getting any sort of error message during the sync process?  If so what is the exact wording of that error message?  If this the computer you normally sync the iPod with?

    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?

  • Ipod Touch will not sync with Itunes 12.1.1.4 64 bit

    I have recently updated itunes and on the back of doing so my Ipod touch will not sync my library. The Ipod itself is a couple of years old but using iOS 6.1.6.
    I have deleted and re-installed Itunes. I have wiped my Ipod to start again. I have set it to sync over Wi-fi and nothing has worked. I physically plug the Ipod in and it gets detected. If I change a setting and click apply it briefly says syncing and then nothing.
    I have set automatically download Itunes songs etc etc etc and absolutely nothing seems to get it to sync!
    Help!

    You said " If I change a setting and click apply it briefly says syncing and then nothing.".
    How many steps are completed? What is listed in the status bar of iTunes when it stops?

  • Ipod touch will not Sync with Itunes

    Roomate deleted most of my music on my ipod touch and now it will not sync with itunes when I try to put the music back on.

    - First try resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - have you tried a different cable/USP port?
    - Assuming a PC look here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - you may have to place your iPod in recovery mode to get iTunes to see the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • My Ipod touch will not connect to itunes. It only connects to the computer, nothing else. I have tried everything that I can, but itunes still wont recognize it. I even checked the printers and drivers and it stated that my Ipod is now a digital camera.

    I am not sure what I should do anymore, and I dont have the money to buy a new Ipod. Can anyone help me with this problem?

    Assuming a PC start here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    It is normal for the computer to recognize the iPod as a camera since thatis how one gets photos and videos off the iPod.

  • My ipod touch will not connect to itunes, i am trying to upgrade to IOS 5. Can someone please help.

    Is there any way to update to IOS5 through wifi and not using my computer?

    See:

    or

    No, you have to update to iOS 5 via iTunes/USB. One you get iOS you can further update via wifi.

  • Ipod Touch will not sync with home iMac but can with other macs

    My daughters iPod Touch will not sync with her iMac anymore.

    We are both running Snow Leopard.
    Is there a toggle or setting that needs to be changed.
    I've looked but no joy.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • IPod Touch will not fill to capacity after iTunes 9 update

    After updating iTunes to 9.0 my iPod touch will no longer fill to capacity. Although the capacity bar on the Summary screen shows about 80 MB free, I keep getting the error that there is not enough space to sync anything more. I have updated my firmware to 3.1.1 and the problem persists. A possibly related problem is that even if I leave like 200 mb free, the "Automatically fill free space with songs" feature does not seem to work - it just leaves the space empty.

    I seem to be having the same problem as well, and it happened after i installed itunes 9. Supposedly, I would have about 90mb of free space on my ipod but when I try to sync a few photos or extra songs it will tell there's not enough available memory..that i only have 20mb. Before, I used to be able to fill my ipod completely. But now, it stops filling once it reaches 70mb remaining. I've read other instances in this forum of this happening to other people.
    Even with the firmware update (9.0.1) I'm still experiencing the problem. hopefully Apple will come up with something to patch this up.

  • Ipod touch will not sync podcasts consistently after upgrading

    I don't know if anyone else noticed this or not. Whenever I have a new podcast I normally just sync my iPod touch and everything is good.
    After upgrading to iTunes 10, when I sync not all of the podcasts come over to my iPod. It's very hit and miss, sometimes one or two new podcasts will come over, sometimes none. Usually if I sync again everything is ok. But it is a real pain to have to check every podcast to make sure it was updated properly.
    Has anyone else experienced this? I don't suppose there is a fix?

    It's truly amazing: with iTunes 10.0 there was a difference how iTunes represented podcasts to ipod and iPhone. With 10.1 it's not corrected, just changed:
    During sync take a look at your device specifically podcasts: if it's an iPod you will only see the podcasts that have candidates for download - if it's an iPhone you'll see all podcast-subscriptions.

  • IPod Touch will NOT sync in iTunes for Windows Vista

    I get this error message. "iTunes requires a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. Please uninstall both Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes, then install iTunes again."
    Well, I did that, then I reinstalled iTunes. The AMDS didn't reinstall with the iTunes software! Instead, it kept rolling back again and again. I uninstalled iTunes again, made sure everything was deleted with Windows Install Clean Up, then tried to install iTunes 8.1. Well, this installed AMDS, but it also installed iTunes 8.2 instead - and I am getting the same error message again. Is my iPod touch completely useless now? I can't update the songs on my computer to it, so what am I supposed to do? My computer is recognizing it and saying it connected and allowing me to open it, but it will not appear in iTunes. HELP!

    IS NO ONE FROM APPLE WILLING TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE? This problem is being discussed all over the internet. Something is WRONG with iTunes 8.2 that is PROHIBITING iPod Touch devices to sync with it. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? I have been unable to contact ANYONE about the issue, and a support person literally hung up on me while I was explaining my problem, like he knew what was happening. WHAT DO I DO? I have a non-updated iPod Touch that is just being WASTED because I can't sync it with the newest version of iTunes. APPLE, YOU NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

  • Ipod touch will not sync with itunes 9

    i have a large libary on my ipod touch that wont sync to itunes. Also will not load playlist. Just purchsed a few shows and i try and sync and i says its done but still not on the ipod touch. please help!!

    Syncing on a touch is iTunes -> iPod, not the other way around. If you have a large library on your iPod that doesn't exist anywhere else (very bad practice) and need to move things to iTunes, you have two choices:
    1. Purchased items can be transferred by selecting, in iTunes, File > Transfer my purchases
    2. Music you have added from CDs you ripped yourself: Google "Pod to PC" for a freeware program that can do this for you.
    As to your purchased shows, you most likely downloaded them in the wrong format. iTunes lists programs in HD (for the Apple TV) and regular definition for the iPod. Just go back and download the correct version.
