IPod Touch Won't Backup or Sync on Windows 7 Ultimate / iTunes 10

Recieve the following error message when I try to backup my iPod Touch (iOS 4.3.3 8J2) to iTunes 10:
(on Windows 7 64-Bit Ultimate)
> iTunes could not back up the iPod "leeand00's iPod" because the backup
> could not be saved on the computer.
I've tried deleting the backup as specified but I have no luck getting it to work.
I'm due for a battery change and might take it to the Apple Store soon, I hope this won't delete my data.
Additionally, all of the Diagnostic tests passed in iTunes.

Ipod touch 5th gen will not sync after windows 8.1 update

ipod touch 5th gen will not sync after windows 8.1 update. Computer see's Itouch as mass storage and charges. Worked with Window's 8 fine, as soon as update was done and restarted computer Itouch doesn't show up. Itouch seen on two other computers.

3rd generation iPod touch won't turn on, charge, or be recognised by itunes

My 3rd generation ipod touch won't charge or turn on. I keep charging it, but it show the exremely low battery screen. It also flashes the apple logo like it's turning on, but it just stays on that screen or flashes and goes away. It won't connect to itunes. I've tried holding the power button and home button at the same time to get it into recovery mode, but it doesn't work. I don't know what else to do.

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 another cable
- 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 won't mount or sync with iTunes?

ok here's my problem, 2 days ago i bought an 8gb iPod touch.
The first time i plugged it into my computer it mounted to iTunes and synced with iTunes seamlessly and quick.
Now when i plug it in, it will not even show up in iTunes.
So far i've tried
-restarting my iPod Touch
-deleting itunes then re-installing iTunes
-restoring factory setting on iPod touch
-turning the ipod off, then once i open itunes, turning it on
nothing happens, itunes works fine, but my iPod just will not sync or mount to iTunes 8
please! someone help me!

ok i figured it out.. not what was wrong but what to do.. you have to restore your system without having the iPod connect of course.. then uninstall itunes and quicktime then delete every trace of them from your computer. (once you reinstall iTunes you will get back everything you had) then once you restart your computer reinstall itunes and restart your computer again. now plug ur iPod Touch in the computer and it will work then.
same thing happened to mine.. it took a while to figure it out but i got it...
you have to uninstall them then delete it from program files... now it works perfectly

Anyone know why my Ipod Touch won't wi-fi sync with my win 7 PC unless it is usb connected to it?

According to latest Apple IOS release 5.1.1 I can wi-fi sync my IPod to ANY networked PC hosting its ITunes as long as the IPod is connected to a power source and its wi-fi is enabled. Well...doesn't work ("Sync Now" button is not enabled). It IS however enabled if I connect IPod to the windows 7 pc via usb cable. Of course, this option is then superflous as I am capable of syncing the device via the faster USB connection instead. Isn't it supposed to work if the ipod is connected to a power outlet, or my Macbook Pro and the Windows 7 PC and Itunes are running and on network? What's the point of the feature otherwise?
Reason I would ilke to do this is that my music library is housed on Windows 7 PC (it has more storage space then my MacBook Pro), but I often recharge it connected to my MacBook Pro This is a nice to have, but hardly necessary feature, but if someone has a solution I would love to know about it.
Possible error on my part:
I enabled this feature while IPod was not connected to any device. (later read that one should enable the feature while iPod connected to PC). The "sync now" button is not enabled UNLESS I connect the ipod to the Windows 7 pc by usb cable. THEN the "sync now" is enabled. What do i do to correct?

I synced iPod touch to a desktop wirelessly connected to a router.
Searched the forum and found 3 useful suggestions.
1. check the firewall log to ensure there was an exception allowing applemobiledevice.exe to clear the firewall, if it is blocked.
2. Verified the desktop was accessible via wi-fi.
3. Connected iPod to the desktop using the usb cable,
ran iTunes,
clicked the iPod device icon to open the Sync window,
clicked the SUMMARY tab and
scrolled down to the checkboxes. Checked the box for "wi-fi sync".
Then SYNCED the iPod via the cable.
Then disconnected the iPod from the cable without clicking the EJECT icon. This leaves an established sync connection on iTunes.
Quit iTunes, then reloaded it to ensure the iPod device icon still appears under DEVICEs in iTunes.
I wonder if you are having problems with the wireless transmitter? I've had them burn out in the past. Replaced a router that died, and had a dell laptop whose wi-fi xmit/receiver died.
Also had to re create the wireless network setup on the desktop. Not sure why but twice have had to recreate it when it quit working.
I sympathize. it's a pain in the butt dealng with networks.

IPod Touch (4th gen) will not sync music after the latest iTunes update

I'm using iTunes on a PC with Windows 7 and after the latest update (iTunes 11.2.2), it will not sync with my iPod touch 4 (also updated to the latest possible version - iOS 6.1.6).
Before the update there was no problem with the sync. And this iPod has always been synced only with this computer, and this iTunes library.
After the iTunes update, several songs on my iPod were greyed out and unplayable (the library plays fine in iTunes).
Now, when I try to sync, iTunes goes through all the steps, saying it finished syncing, without any error message but there is no actual change on the iPod.
I've tried deleting all the music on the iPod, to resync the entire music library anew.
Again, iTunes went through all the steps, finished "syncing" and nothing - and, of course, all the music on my iPod is now missing.
When I check the "On this iPod" option in iTunes, the entire song list shows up there but appears greyed out and unplayable.
On the actual iPod device, there is absolutely nothing in the Music app - no songs, no playlists.
The iPod always shows "no data" in the Music app.
Sometimes iTunes shows that I have 18GB of music on the device, sometimes it shows 0GB ...at one point it showed "no space available". But it has plenty of space - 23.5 GB of available space out of 32GB.
To fix this I've tried the following:
- automatic sync, manual sync, manually adding/deleting songs on the iPod, autofilling and replacing songs;
- resetting my iPod by holding the (on/off and home buttons) and resetting through the "reset all settings" option on my iPod;
- reset and restore from backup;
- uninstalled and re-installed iTunes on my PC.
- I've run the diagnostics tool in iTunes - all tests passed;
...plus various other suggested solutions I have found in the similar topics around here.
(I've checked and there are no restrictions to the songs, the computer is authorized, etc.)
Absolutely nothing works and it is very frustrating, as I usually only use the iPod for the music.
Please help.

My Ipod touch wont allow me to sync any apps from my itunes library. It also wont allow me to get into itunes from the ipod itself. So i downloaded some apps from the istore on my computer, but it wont allow me to sync them to the ipod. Please Help!?

My Ipod touch wont allow me to get into itunes. So I downloaded some apps through istore onto the itunes on my computer, yet it still wont allow me to sync them to my ipod. It doesnt even give me the option to do so. The only things syncing to my ipod are music and pictures. Can anyone please help me??

You need to restore the iPod on the new computer. You can only sync apps (and some other stuff) from different computers/libraries but you can manage music and some other stuff among different computers/libraries.
You need to restore you iPod and see the following regarding the pairing error message.

IPod Touch 3.1.2 infinitely syncing on Windows 7 netbook issue no error

My iPod Touch continuously says 'Sync in Progress' or 'Syncing iPod Touch' on the computer. There is no error message. The syncing never ends.
Everything appears to sync, music, apps, everything and then when it would normally say sync complete, it just doesn't. It still says syncing. I can click the X and cancel the sync but it seems very odd.
I recently installed Bonjour and I wonder if it has something to do with that version or something, just a guess to help out.

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.

HT1386 I have IPod touch running iOS 5.1.1 and Windows 7 with iTunes 11.0.4.4. When I connect the IPod to my PC, iTunes recognizes it but before synching can get very far, it is interrupted by "charging not supported on this acc." Now what to do?

I'm having trouble with the wi-fi synch for iTunes and would be happy if I could just synch by the USB cable. With the new iOS, the connection to iTunes seems to get broken every time the dreaded "charging not supported with this accessory" appears, which is only a few seconds into the synch. Since my PC is obviously not an Apple brand charger, IPod won't stop producing this message. Using the Dismiss button doesn't resolve the issue because synch has already stopped. It looks like the hardwire to PC option is now dead.

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- 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.

My Ipod Touch won't play music. When I click on Itunes, all it does is open the ITunes Store. There are no playlists at all, but they show up on my computer just fine. I have tried syncing several times, and have tried making a new playlist.

I have tried making a new playlist, and have synced it a gazillion times. This all happened when I bought a new computer and transferred my Ipod to it...with upgraded Itunes software. I have tried everything.

Thanks -- actually I worded the question wrong. I was trying to find my songs icon and kept reloading Itunes to try to find it. All I could get was the store. I finally figured out how to reset the desktop and I got my icon back. Thanks for your answer.

My Ipod touch 2nd gen will not sync for some reason to itunes. I've tried almost every possible solution I can find on the internet. The ipod charges fine when connected and Windows also recognizes it as a device but itunes refuses to. What should I do?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the reply. Your answer crossed my mind but I havent downloaded songs in a while so I never paid attention to whether it was syncing or not. However, in my sync history I see that it successfully synced 3 months ago....

IPod Touch Doesn't Work with 64 Bit Windows Vista Ultimate?

So i blew out 500$ for something that will not work on my OS?
....How can i get it to work?

As stated in the System Requirements (link) 64bit versions of Vista are not supported.
Personally I don't think this is clearly enough stated on the sales pages so you should have a good basis for getting a refund.

I am getting interference on my Ipod touch on music that I sync from down loaded CDs to ITunes on my PC. The music is clear when I play it on my PC but has the interference on the Ipod. This just started recently. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I am getting interference (scratching sound) on my Ipod touch on music that I sync from downloaded CDs to ITunes on my PC. The music is clear when I play it on my PC but has the interference on the Ipod. This just started recently. Any thoughts?

Thank you so much for the reply. I does not appear to be the headphones because I get the same interference sound from my Ihome radio when I dock by Ipod on it as well as when I connect the Ipod to the radio connection in the car. I have isolated the issue to the Ipod because these same tunes play without interference on my PC so something is happening in the sync process.
More thoughts?
