Ipod Touch won't sync since recent iTunes upgrade

When i try to add songs (not purchased through itunes although I dont know if this is relevant) to my ipod touch they show in itunes under my device however they do not seem to copy to the ipod. Say I add and album then add another the first album gets erased from the ipod and only the most recent files copied remain on the ipod however they all still show as existing on the ipod within itunes, The same thing happens to my ipad and it only seems to have happened since I last upgraded itunes. Both devices have been set to manually manage music and videos so I'm at a loss as to why this is happening,
has anyone got any ideas as I have tried to get hold of older versions of itunes from Apple - Support - Downloads however they report an error when installing (doesnt say what error)

With all the synced media like apps and music in your iTunes library do the following:
- Make a backup in iTunes by:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore the iPod from that backup. The above link includes that restore from backup instructions.
Somehow updating iTunes caused iTunes/iPod to think it was not synced to this library. That happens sometimes.

  • New ipod touch won't sync with my iTunes

    I am old time iTunes user who just got new Ipod touch. It starts to sync but at last step message is "Waiting for next stage" or something and it won't sync.  I tried everything I can think of. I have lastes iTunes version. My old ipod still updates and syncs works fine. 

    Maybe this:
    "Waiting for changes to be applied": Apple Support Communities
    or
    'waiting for items to...: Apple Support Communities
    If not what did the message say?

  • 3rd gen Ipod Touch won't sync/show in Itunes after 10.4.08 update

    On Saturday (7/30) I updated to ITunes 10.4.08 and updated to 4.3.5 (8L1) on my touch. It worked fine and synced properly after it d/l'd. Later in the day I plugged my Touch back into my computer and it wouldn't sync or show in ITunes. No error's or anything, just wont show and Touch is working as it should. All my USB ports are working fine and are charging my Touch. I've uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes two more times since then only to have the same problems happen. It will sync and show once, but after I disconnect and then reconnect, it will not show/sync again.If someone can help it would be greatly appreciated!!

    Small update.....I took my Touch to the Genius Bar yesterday, told them about the issue and they just gave me a new Touch. That's awesome and all, but I still have the problem. I guess it's on my computers end but what I don't understand is why does it work once, then never again?? Help?!?!?

    - Have you tried a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - NextI would restore from backup.

  • Ipod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the ipod.

    iPod nano won't sync podcasts from iTunes after I "Restored" the iPod.

    If you've read the Technical Specification you will find that the nano can only use Firewire for charging, not for syncing:
    http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
    "Charging via USB or FireWire to computer system or power adapter (sold separately)"
    So you can rule that out.
    Have you tried the 5 R's?

  • 160gb ipod classic won't sync since update to 11.2.2, system wants to wipeout all current info on device

    160gb ipod classic won't sync since update to 11.2.2, system wants to wipeout all current info on device

    same has happened to me,  on and off,   for the last 6 months.   Its an issue with the Mavericks system and ipod classics.    works great for a while -  then one day for no reason - erases the entire iPod.   some days the copmputer will not recognize the iPod and you have to start over.  Apple will tell you that "you" may have a disc problem in the device.  that is all the help I have received.

  • My daughters iPod touch won't sync, says apps aren't recognized, nothing syncs though

    iPod touch won't sync at all. Only message is that some apps aren't recognized.  If I reset, will it sync? Or will she have a blank iPod because the "apps aren't recognized"?

    Use the communities search box in the upper right of this page and searc for: "the apps can't be determined". Use the quote makes and make sure the wording matches what the error message says.
    You will then find the previous discussions with the same error.  I do not remember the solution.

  • Ipod touch won't sync to itunes with OS X 10.6.3 I just installed

    I just installed OS X 10.6.3 (snow leopard) and now my ipod touch is not syncing to itunes. Any ideas why?

    Is your problem that you do not see your iPod in iTunes? If that is the case try these:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
    Also, make sure you update to the latest iTunes and Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard is now up to 10.6.5 and you said you only have 10.6.3.

  • My 5th generation iPod Touch won't sync videos and music at all

    Since December 29th, I have been having trouble with my videos and music not syncing to my iPod Touch. I tried to manually select them to sync to my iPod, when I remove them the number of gigabytes free on the bottom of the screen doesn’t change. What’s wrong? Please help

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    It just skips the step on preparing tracks to sync and takes a long time as well when it comes to waiting for changes to be applied.
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    No, the iPod was not previously synced to another iTunes library/computer at all
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Yes, I have been succesffuly syncing from the library/computer before this problem happened to my iPod Touch.
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Yes, the songs do play in iTunes
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
    I think I do have the right boxes checked to sync but have to check and see if I do or not have them checked. Even though I have been syncing in the manual method and it still won't do sync my videos or new music at all.
