but still nothing - was working fine yesterday!

When you say you unplugged all usb cables, you mean unplugged all usb cables while you are trying to sync the ipod correct? Make sure the ipod cable is plugged into a usb port on the computer not through a keyboard or through any other type of usb hub.

See if placing the iPod in DFU mode will allow a restore.

iPod touch 2G. Not syncing, not restoring, not switching on. iTunes 10.4.1. Help Please!

- What happens when you try to sync and restore?
- If iTunes is not seing the iPod see if restting the iPod will either fix the problem or allow you to see it in iTunes so you can restore the iPod
Reset iPod touch: 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.
- Next place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

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.

You buy one and only one download.
As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

We have some 3rd generations iPod touches that are note syncing with the computer we have. The original computer that the ipods was synced to is gone. We downloaded the itunes to the new computer and logged on as the same account and it won't sync.

An iPod can pn;y sync wiht one iTunes kibrary and the new computer is a new iTunes library:
- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party probgram like one of those dicussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup

Ipod Touch 2nd Gen not syncing photos

One of my ipod touch's albums to sync is iPhoto's "last import" album. It always updates the album every time I import new photos into iPhoto. However, it has stopped doing that. I have old photos in my album now instead of the most recent import. In "Last Import" on my iPod, it's showing me my import from two times ago, not the most recent. I've clicked SYNC in iTunes about 5 times, but it won't update. My music and podcasts are all updated, just not my photos.

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. The sidebar is where Devices appears.
Next try:

Ipod Touch 4th Generation Not Syncing

Hi. I hope someone can help with this. I have a 4th Gen Ipod touch, purchased October 2010. I recently purchased new Windows 7 notebook, transferred itunes library to new device, no problems. At present, here is my issue: when trying to sync my ipod, and ipad, to the same library on this notebook, neither would; I received an error that asked me if I wanted to set these up as new devices, which both had already been set up. Ipod touch will be recognized when plugged in, and is read as 64 GB device, but the capacity bar at the bottom of the summary page reads as 4 gb. I have tried setting it up again as new device, restoring to factory settings multiple times, uninstalled itunes as per apple's directions, verified there were no hidden files, and reinstalled itunes, but Ipod will not sync. It keeps giving me an error message that says "device cannot be synced. An internal error occurred." I talked to a senior tech at apple, who had me try to log in as new user on my notebook and this did not help. I have even deleted the itunes application file, and restored the device and "forced downloaded" the new version of itunes, and this did not help. I took the device to the apple store in my home city, and they swapped it out with a brand new one; this device did the EXACT same thing and would not sync. HOWEVER, my Ipad synced without difficulty in the same USB port that I use for the Ipod. I even added music from itunes to the ipad on the device tab in left column of itunes, and the ipad synced immediately. I updated my windows 7 in the store, which included the service pack 1 and a windows reliability update; the computer restarted, configured the new service pack, and when plugging the BRAND NEW iPOD into the computer, I get the same error; the device will not sync. I have unchecked the "sync apps and music" in the summary page, and the device runs for almost 4-5 minutes saying "syncing ipod", but I get the same error message. The tech at the store seems to think that the itunes software is corrupting the ipod at the time of the sync, but this does not occur with my ipad. I am running the latest version of Itunes on both devices, and the latest IOS on both devices. To be honest, I am quite frustrated, and at the end of my rope with this. I am planning on calling apple tomorrow again, to see why a brand new device right out of the box does not sync, even after updating my windows 7 service pack, which are updates to all of the drivers. Does anyone have any suggestions that they think may help? At this point, I have already spent 3 1/2 hours at the apple store, and 2 hours on the phone with tech support, and I still cannot get the device to sync. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED

So, here is an update to my original question, in case anyone else has this issue. I spoke with a senior adviser at apple, who had me use the "devmgmt.msc" command in the search line of Windows 7; after expanding the USB controllers menu, she had me uninstall/delete the "apple mobile device driver" and then open "control panel" and "uninstall programs." Once the menu of programs was open, she had me highlight the program "apple mobile device controller", then repair it, and restart the computer. This fixed the issue and the iPod synced.
However, just one day ago, when I plugged in both the iPod, then the iPad (not at the same time), I get the message that "this library has already been synced to another iPod/iPad or other IOS device." It then asked if I wanted to set up as a new device or from restore of previous. That is wher I am right now; I am trying to get the same apple adviser again to discuss the case number. More to follow.

Ipod Touch 3rd Gen - not recognized by computer or itunes. Shows cable pointing to itunes logo. Can't reset it. Doesn't work at all. Have tried all the supposed fixes on the apple site with no luck. It suggested asking other users !

I have a 3rd Generation ipod touch that is not recognized by itunes or my computer. My itunes works with other apple devices I own. I cannot reset the ipod touch and can never get to the screen where it is supposed to show a red battery to turn it off. I can't reset it. Have tried to use the suggestions on the apple site to no avail. Any suggestions ?

From my experience, the only way you're gonna get a PC afflicted with this disease to work with a 5th gen nano is to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes. Those affected have been exhausted by this ongoing issue. To update or not to update? And I always say never update unless you have to, and turn off all that auto update mess!
I have two core2duo lappies running 32b vista. My workflow dictates 32b fyi. One is acer aspire running itunes v 11.1 (.0.126), 5th gen nano was originally formatted and works just fine on this machine to this day. My other is the bigger badder lenovo thinkpad and the 5th gen will NOT mount using any version of itunes past 11.0 (.1.12) Windows mounts it just fine. itunes is not having it. no shirt no shoes no service.
I have both a 4th and 5th gen nano. The 4th gen works great on both machines, I even successfully tested it with the latest version (11.1.5) before subsequent deletion on the thinkpad! Weird huh? I think my next experiment might be to restore my 5th gen w/ a Mac and theeeeen plug it into PC itunez.
I'm at a loss on the thinkpad. Scanned for intruders. Cut the Lenovo bloat. Executed system and reg maintenance. Took down msconfig to a safe mode + itunes level to attempt to resolve possible sw conflicts but to no avail. NO NO NO. Every single dang port, every time on the thinkpad. Has me feeling like others might get the same treatment by the next itunes update. :|
So in summary for me:
5th gen nano and thinkpad are a NoGo on 11.1^ last working version for me = 11.0.1
5th gen nano is working on an acer aspire 11.1.0 but no way in the world am I updating
4th gen nano is kicking 5th gen nano's @zz so what would make me want to buy a new ipod?

My ipod gen 2 does not sync with the latest itunes

I reset my ipod gen 2 to factory settings and version 4.2.1 will not sync with the latest iTunes.

Are you using the USB docking cable that came with that shuffle (it has a mini-dock at the shuffle end)? The docking cable for the current 4th (and 3rd) gen shuffle fits, but it will not work. The connector is different.
When you say, "does not sync with iTunes," do you mean it does appear in iTunes (in the sidebar under DEVICES) but does not sync, or that it does not appear in iTunes at all?

TS1424 I updated latest ios on my ipod touch. Now when I go to the itunes store and browse for possible purchases it seems to shut off after only a short time for no reason. Help?

I updated the ios on my ipod touch. Now when I browse the itunes store on my ipod, it only allows a very brief visit before automatically closing me out. I have to go back into the store and begin searches etc all over again. Is this a setting or a problem that is randomly occuring? I use to look for hours. Any thoughts?

My iPod touch 5g is not syncing, opening in iTunes, charging, or showing up under Device Manager

My USB connectors are working--my brother's 4g iPod Touch could charge fine on my PC.
THis iPod is relatively new--August of 2013--and I have not had trouble with it before.
I guess it started when my iPod ran completely out of power, as it sometimes does. However, this time it would not charge right away and showed the "Low Battery" screen (The charge bar with the little bit of 20% red charge, with a symbol of a USB charger and a lightning symbol underneath).
It wouldn't charge, sync, or connect to my PC, so I left it in the wall overnight. In the morning it was fully charged--I think it is only able to charge in sleep mode. When plugged in via USB cord to the wall or computer, the little lightning sign, symbolizing that it is charging, does not appear.
When plugged into my PC, under MY COMPUTER, instead of reading "Apple iPod," there was some USB link, including "F://".
Upon clicking it it read : F:// refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location. I stupidly DELETED this file and emptied my Recycling Bin. I cannot find my Apple iPod in Device Manager or anywhere. Please Help! I need to charge my iPod. Can I somehow restore my iPod without iTunes?
I will do this if I have to,but I would rather not have to reinstall all my apps, contacts, etc.
I have tried uninstalling (by going into Control Panel and one-by-one completely deleting everything Apple-related, including iCloud and Safari), then reinstalling iTunes; resetting my iPod; restarting my computer. Both my iTUnes and iPod are updated to the most current version. Do I need a new battery?

You need iTunes 11.1 or later on the computer
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
Then
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
