    You'll need to connect the iPod Touch to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restore it factory settings.  There is no other way.
    Here are instructions for getting your iPod touch into recovery mode.

    My iPod touch is not charging, nor is it syncing with my commputer and iTunes. It will charge on the wall charger, and in the car, but not on the computer. My wife's iPod Nano syncs on the computer. I went in and reset my iPod Touch back to factory settings and now it will not let me get in unless I sync to iTunes on my computer. Well, it still will not connect thru the USB cord. Does anyone know what I should do to get this corrected? I want my iPod back.

    My iPod won't sync to my computer?

    What happens when you try to sync?
    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?           
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • IPhone 4 won't sync with new computer

    When I connect my iPhone 4 to my computer, music, movies, and apps don't sync to the phone from the computer. I just switched computers and this was the first sync with the new computer. I've tried syncing with this computer multiple times, but the only things still on the phone are contacts, apps from before the switch, and music I've bought within the past few days on the device. I was using a Mac OS X Snow Leopard (pretty sure) and the new computer is a Mac OS X Lion.

    Just checked my iTunes, don't seem to be having this problem. Here is what I can recommend:
    Restart iTunes, it may help
    Restart Computer if 1 fails.
    If you're on Mac, update to latest iTunes (released today)
    Restart iPhone and then iTunes and then plug it in

  • IPod won't work with new computer - please help

    When I bought my iPod, I had it hooked up with Computer #1. That went with my ex-husband in the divorce, so I no longer have that computer.
    I now have my parents' old computer, Computer #2. My dad has an iPod that was originally used with this computer, but none of his songs or libraries are on Computer #2 anymore. The iTunes library is totally empty. I tried hooking up my iPod, and it said that my iPod was already associated with another computer. So I authorized Computer #2 to play my iPod songs, and that didn't work either. I cannot deauthorize computer #1 since I don't have it anymore. ITunes would not let me deauthorize both computers, like it said you could do once a year.
    I am at a loss for what to do. Thanks in advance.

    I have the same problem!! I had my library on a computer on XP and now I have Vista and don't know how to transfer my Vista. If anyone can help please let me know!!!!!!

  • My Ipod won't sync with my computer

    My ipod is not recognized by itunes, but it appears under my computer. My computer recently crashed, and so I have had to reload all my programs and songs, and since then I haven't tried to sync my ipod with my computer other than now. I have tried many things under the support section of apple website but nothing works. I put uninstall itunes and it goes for a bit then says "Service 'ipod service'(ipod service) could not be stopped. Verify that you have sufficient priveliges to stop system services"
    I have restarted my computer a lot, and pressed retry a few times when I get that error. I have no idea what to do, can somebody help me with this problem? Do I have to register my ipod with my computer in some way since this is the first time using it since I redownloaded itunes? Can I fix this without installing since it doesn't seem to work?
    Thanks so much.

    I'm having the same problem - I just got a new laptop, and I loaded CDs and bought some music. The laptop crashed, and the hard drive had to be replaced. Now I can only see the things that I purchased in my iTunes, but I don't know how to get my songs already on my iPod to show up. I tried transferring them, but it didn't work. I have the option of choosing "Erase and Sync," but I don't know if that will erase my iPod or what. Please help!!!!!

  • 30GB iPod won't sync with new iMac

    I used my 30GB iPod with my old G5 iMac for years without any problems. 2 months ago I bought a new Intel i5 iMac and I have a lot of problems to sync it with the computer. I get the message that the content of the iPod is unreadable and I need to restore the iPod. I restored the iPOd 3 times since I got my new iMac. Is there something I can do about it?
    Thanks in advance

    Try a low level format of the iPod's Hard Disk using Disk Utility.  See this article for a walkthrough on reformatting your iPod.

  • IPod Won't Update with New Playlists and Audio Only

    My iPod will not update new playlists that have been created or add any audio files from iTunes. Videos come over just fine. Powerbook 12" G4 with 10.4.4, iTunes 6.0.2. Latest iPod software, 0106, deleted the old iPod updates. Also, did a hard reset on the iPod.
    Under my administrator test login, playlists and songs come over fine, but I can't seem to get it to work in my regular account. Any idea what do do without reformatting my hard drive and reloading software?

    I also just started having this trouble on my 6 month old nano. I have it set to automatically update selected playlists only. I update the songs in those playlists in itunes, then I connect my ipod to my PC. The ipod and itunes say it is updating, but when done the same old songs are on the playlists in the ipod. Itunes does show the correct playlists with the update songs, they just don't seem be updating on the ipod, even though there seems to be a good connection and the ipod says it is updating when plugged into the PC. Any thoughts?

  • Iphone won't sync with new installation of iTunes

    I had to reinstall iTunes in a new laptop, and then copied my music library-file from the old iTunes-installation. Now the iPhone won't sync the music files. For some of the music I've bought in iTunes it says "You have to copy this music manually", but there is no such option in iTunes, as far as I can see. And by the way, afterinstalling 5.0.1 my contact-information is trippled, or every name and phone etc. is listed three times.

    Try uninstalling then reinstalling iTunes. See the iTunes support page (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/) on how to do this.

  • Old Mac Ipod won't sync with new Macbook (help!)

    Ok so this is probably something really easy but I can't for the life of me get it to work.
    I got a new Macbook Pro recently and have been building up a new library with my older songs and newer ones I've acquired since the purchase. My problem is when I go to sync my Ipod to the new Mac my ipod automatically goes to the "ok to disconnect" screen without syncing anything. I pressed "sync" and "transfer purchases" and it still goes into disconnect mode, very quickly too.
    Its almost as if the ipod is protecting itself and dosen't want to sync to the new Mac for that reason, but that's what I need it to do. Its a 'Mac to Mac' move so its not like I'm putting a Mac ipod into a Windows computer
    What do I have to do, or how do I get to a setting that would let my ipod sync successfully on this new laptop? If anybody could help it would totally save the day.
    The ipod is an iPod classic 2008-09 120gb

    Hey Ginger795
    You would have to tell it to erase and sync the iPod. With a new library you will want to sync exclusively or set up “Manually manage music” on the iPod to make it work properly
