IPod wont sync with iTunes. Error Message occurs.

I just updated to the latest version of iTunes and when i try to sync my iPod i get the message "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed properly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod software." I tried this and it would not redownload because i already have the newest version. I also tried doing what Apple reccomended by deleting itunes, afterwards itunes would not download so i did a system restore so now everytime i open up itunes "Windows has to configure iTunes." What can i do to fix this problem? It is really upsetting me.

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?
iTunes: Error 13019 during sync

Ipod wont sync with Itunes

Hello!
Ive plugged my Ipod into my laptop with Itunes open and it normally syncs automatically, when i came to do it today it wont sync and when i try to do it from the file menu the sync option is greyed out. Itunes wont even show my Ipod on the left hand side as it normally does. Help please?
Thanks

Sumiko, I'd suggest you start a new topic with your issue (use the "Post a new topic" link at the top of each main topic page). It's generally better to ask a question as a new topic rather than as a reply in someone else's thread. It's more courteous to the original poster, and is more likely to get your question the attention it deserves.
Regards.

IPod touch sync with iTunes Error -18

Hi
Today I want to use my iPod touch but they was no music on it (the pictures are ok).
At home I try to sync the iPod touch with the lib, I don’t run
I got the message that the sync is not possible error code -18, a restore is mot possible too.To solve this problem I reset the iPod touch (setup-> common -> reset all)
Is it a hardware / software error on the iPod touch?
thanks
Frank

Follow these instructions ... be sure to continue to hold down the HOME button when your release the SLEEP/ON/OFF button as indicated:
1.) connect the ipod
2.) Pres and hold both home and off switch untill the apple logo apears
3.) When apple logo apears let go off the off switch but not the home
4.) You should see the logo of a cd and a usb cord
5.) Open itunes. If it still doesnt see it, unplug the ipod and close and reopen itunes and then plug your ipod
Itunes should take over from there

3rd generation ipod wont sync with Itunes

My ipod is a 3rd generation and my software version is 1.1.3 (the newest available). It says that it is connected to itunes, starts to sync, but nothing happens. I have tried every step of the troubleshooting guide for my ipod 3rd generation. Now I just have an ipod with all of this memory space that won't sync. I did the last step which required me to restore to factory setting and still, nothing. Please help!

That is a 4th gen iPod, and it should work with a USB port (or a FireWire port).
If you have not done a standard Restore on the iPod using iTunes, you may want to do that next. The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. So, if the cause is related to software (or data corruption), and there is no hardware issue, a Restore should fix it.
WARNING: The 4th gen iPod (when used on a USB port) will ask that you connect it to a USB power adapter as the last step in the Restore process. These white square power adapters originally came with this model. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, you will not be able to complete the Restore, and the iPod will become non-functional. So don't do it unless you have one. A third-party power adapter may or may not work for this purpose. The USB port on your computer does not work for this purpose.

After restoring ipod nano it wont sync with itunes. states error 13019 occured

after restoring ipod nano it wont sync with itunes. states error 13019 occured

I seem to recall that another user has this problem and found that it was because of some corrupted music files they were trying to sync over.
Try syncing smaller bunches of tracks till you come upon the ones that cause the error. You should be able to find out which ones are causing the trouble this way.
The other user said they used something called MP3Diags. I cannot vouch for this software at all, I have never used it.
I did a quick search on "how to repair MP3 files on Mac" and also found this:

I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?

What fixed it for me:
On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
Uncheck "Sync Music"
Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
Let it run and finish
Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
Let it run and finish
Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
Let it run and finish
See if that doesn't work for you. I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly.

2nd Gen Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download new song

My Ipod will sync with itunes but will not download newly purchased songs. It is Ipod nano 2nd gen.

If you want to use automatic syncing, you may need to set up or update the iPod's Music sync settings in iTunes. If the new songs are not included in what gets synced to the iPod, they will not sync.
If the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Select it there, to show its Summary screen to the right. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary. Click on Music next to Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music, if not already checked. This is the "switch" to enable automatic syncing for songs.
NOTE: If Sync Music is not already checked, that means the iPod is currently set to Manually manage music. Setting up automatic syncing will replace the iPod existing content. If you want to add the new songs manually to the iPod (instead of using automatic syncing), please post back.
If your iTunes library fits on the iPod, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, select (checkmark) what you want to sync to the iPod from the lists.
One convenient way to set this up is to first create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, with ALL of the songs you want on the iPod. Or you can use existing playlists. Back on the iPod's Music screen in iTunes, select those playlists under Playlists.
When you click Apply, iTunes syncs the songs in your selection(s) to the iPod (replacing its existing content). Going forward, to update the iPod, you can just update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). If you have new songs, add them to a playlist that is synced to the iPod. The iPod does not need to be connected. The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes automatically updates your iPod with the same changes.
