IPod won't sync or be recognised after upgrading to 2.0 software

Decided to pay for new 2.0 update for the iPod Touch, now when I connect it, Windoes makes a beeping sound to show that it's been recognised, and iTunes (7.7) opens automatically, battery on the iPod starts charging, but the iPod doesn't show up on iTunes. I'm not being able to sync any of my music onto the iPod, so it's been empty since last night (since I updated it.) It's driving me insane. I've tried doing the following things:
- install iTunes over the existing iTunes
- delete iTunes, Apple Software Update, Quicktime, and then reinstall iTunes again.
- changed the USB ports a number of times, and tried 3 different USB cables
- restarted iPod and reconnected
- Stop and Start the Apple Software in 'Services'
It was all fine before I upgraded to 2.0 and I was able to sync before. This is probably a very repetitive topic in this forum, but I really don't know what else to do.

Try to reinstall iTunes.
Some necessary drivers for your iPod Touch might be corrupted.

  • Ipod won't sync with Itunes even after restore

    Hiya,
    When I plug my ipod into my computer, it recognises it's there, but it won't sync with the ipod & update the music on it.
    I restored the ipod using itunes so now there's absolutely nothing on my ipod at all, but it still won't sync with itunes, so I have a completely blank ipod...
    I've only had it for about 3 months so am not impressed...
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Miranda

    My was doing the same thing. But I figured out how to fix it. My computer was not recognizing the IPOD so I had to reset the drive letter. Click on Start, then go to the Control Panel, Click on Adminstration tools, Click on Computer Management, on the left hand side of your screen pick Disk Management from the box, it will take a few seconds then it will pull up a list of all your computer drives, highlight your Ipod, then right click and change drive letter or path, I changed it to "I" for ipod. My computer then recognized my Ipod. I opened up itunes and my sync worked then.

  • Photos and Podcasts won't sync to Apple TV after upgrade

    I recently switched from one MacBook (10.5) to a newer one (10.6) running iTunes 9.0.2 (25) and have upgraded my Apple TV software to 3.0.1. I was able to sync the Apple TV to the iTunes library on my new MacBook, but it will only sync music and movies. I get an error message saying "iTunes cannot sync photos because of a problem on your computer. An unknown error occurred (-50)." I have already tried deleting and re-creating the iLife preferences file and the xml file for iPhoto. Can anyone help me figure this out?

    I had a similar problem with my cousin's Apple TV and new 27" iMac. After finding a warm body to speak with at Apple, they asked if there were any slide shows in iPhoto. When I said, yes, they suggested deleting them. Since the photos were already in albums, that was not a problem. After deleting the slide shows from iPhoto, the photos sync'd to the Apple TV just fine.
    They did have a follow on suggestion that I did not need to try and that was to restore the Apple TV to the factory settings, downloading the software updates and trying to sync. Please note that this was not necessary and so I do not know if this is an alternative "fix".
    Deleting the slide shows from iPhoto did the job.

  • 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.

  • IPod Won't Sync After Moving Music to New Computer

    With the help of someone here, I moved my iTunes Library from my old computer to my new one. It didn't work exactly like it was supposed to. All of my music is on my new computer and in my iTunes library, but my playlists, counts etc. are gone. Whatever - I'll deal. Now, though, my iPod won't sync with my new computer (which I did authorized). The "Do Not Disconnect" sign never goes away after I connect my iPod. Thoughts?

    *I'm afraid to plug in my iPod in fear of it erasing my playlists...*
    If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to a different iTunes. You'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7.3 or later installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    *but should I plug it in to restore playlists??*
    Your playlists won't be restored by simply connecting your iPod to iTunes.

  • IPod won't sync to iTunes - Please help! Tried everything

    My iPod won't sync to iTunes. I pug it into the computer, the computer recognizes the device. It automatically opens iTunes once it's plugged in. I was able to system restore via iTunes when the iPod was connected and it wiped the iPod. But when I hit sync it doesn't sync. When I hit the sync button for about 5 seconds the wheel will rotate on the iPod screen and say "syncing" but nothing happens on the iTunes side, (you know normally when your iPod is syncing at the top of the iTunes window it will say "syncing" and you can see the process happening as it quickly runs through the new music it is uploading, this doesn't happen.) I tried restarting the iPod and the computer, system reset, I checked in the control panel to make sure the apple device was started, (which it was,) and even bought a new sync cord to be sure. Nothing. Any ideas?

    I was running into the same/similar problem. Is this a new computer but old ipod?  In other words, does your ipod contain music from a previous pc?  If so, that might be the problem.  I bought a new pc and adequately transferred my music from old pc to new pc.  My itunes library on new pc was where I wanted it to be.  But when I tried to sync my ipod later, it wouldn't sync.  Would stop at first step like yours was doing. 
    If this is the case with you, open your ipod information on itunes.  It will automatically be on "Summary".  Click on "Music".  You will see a box labeled "Sync Music".  Click on that box.  Then you have the option of checking "Entire Music Library" or "Selected playlists.....".  I chose entire library.  When you sync, it will warn you that you will be erasing contents of ipod and replacing with contents of this itunes library.  Like I said, my library was good.  So I chose ok.  It synced fine after that.

  • Tried to sync iPod Touch, noted "new" iTunes. iPod won't sync ("iTunes is unable to load data class information from Sync Services"). Tried the fix, but iTunes hangs when I try to open Preferences.

    Just tried to download new audiobooks to my iPod Touch 3, and noted new iTunes. iPod won't sync ("iTunes is unable to load data class information from Sync Services"). Tried to Reset Sync History per Support Article, but it didn't work. My purchased audiobooks are also gone from my iTunes Library.  Any fix, or is my best bet to uninstall new iTunes and reload earlier version??

  • My ipod won't sync any of the music i downloaded and says that iTunes can't backup the Ipod because a session couldn't be started with the Ipod how do i fix this

    My ipod won't sync any thing in my iTunes library it always stop as soon as it starts backingup the Ipod a message appears that says iTunes cannot backup the Ipod "my Ipod" because a session couldn't be started withthe Ipod how do i fix this problem?
    This is exactly what the message says: iTunes could not back up the iPod "austins ipod" because a session could not be started with the iPod.

    Try connecting your ipod to another computer and sync only 1 file or song just for isolation purpose only to see if it'll sync.
    If still not syncing, then porbably you may have a bad iOS installed in iPod which is hard to see if it has a problem because you said nothing's wrong with iPod. I just saying is, it MIGHT have a bad iOS.
    If you are unable to do a restore, put your ipod in DFU mode, then connect to iTunes and iTunes will detect your ipod in restore mode. Press shift key (PC keyboard) then click the restore button on iTunes. I hope you have your copy of IPSW file for restoration purposes.

  • I have one of the original IPOD's and just tried adding a bunch of songs, (200) and now that they're on my computer my ipod won't sync as it now says i need about 8.45 more gb. any thoughts on this?

    I have one  of the oriignal IPOD's circo 2006.  I've got about 150 tunes on it which has been fine but today tried to add another 200 or so and was advised I need about 848 MB to load them.  Is there any solution.  I have 2 playlists.  One with the original 150 tunes and one with the addiitional 200 tunes. Thoughts as now my IPOD won't sync at all and I don't want to delete any of the songs if I don't have to.

    How much storage on the IPOD  -  I have one that has 60GB on it.   Also have an IPOD shuffle that held less songs.
    As your IPOD does not have enough storage for all of your songs, you have to create a list to sync to it that does not exceed the storage size.
    For instance my IPOD shuffle had its only list of songs that did not exceed storage.
    The IPOD gets them all because I only loaded the songs from my CDs that I really liked into ITUNES - leaving out the ones I skipped over.

  • 5th Gen iPods won't sync

    my 60 & 80 gig iPods won't sync to iTunes. When I connect them, they appear in iTunes, but I cannot add or delete music and several of the playlists don't show up on the iPod. My newer 120 gig iPods work fine. This started on 8-8-10. I am running the current version of iTunes.

    I've been having the same problem ever since I upgraded to iTunes 9. Before the update I never had any issues syncing new songs or playlists. I have purchased several new albums and haven't been able to get them synced to my iPod. When I plug in my iPod I get the syncing message and the "Do Not Disconnect" message shows up on my iPod for about 30 seconds to a minute, but when it finishes nothing has been added and the storage amounts haven't changed.
