ITouch 3rd Gen 64GB(3.1.3) won't sync using iTunes 9.2. Unknown error (-20)

I downloaded and isntalled iTunes 9.2 on my laptop from the apple site and updated my entire music library (25GB) to it. Connected my iTouch and it recognised it without a hitch along with all the installed apps and the music which was already there (which I had synced from my cousin's laptop without a hitch. I had anticipated deleting all this music so as to be able to put mine, no problem. But as soon as i start the sync the display bar goes to about 50% and gets stuck and after a few minutes displays 2 dialogs with one saying 'unable to connect to iPod disk unkown error(-20).
What am I doing wrong/ what's happening here and how do I fix this?
Steps I've already taken:
1. Restored iTouch to factory settings through the iTouch itself so all the downloaded apps and music is already deleted. Fresh start didn't help.
2. Repaired and reinstalled iTunes but the error stays the same.

SOLVED (somewhat)
The problem is with iTunes 9.2 only. I just succesfully synced my pod on my mom's laptop using iTunes 9.0 .
Apple had better come out with a fix for this cuz I'm not allowed to install iTunes 9.0 on m computer becase it gives an error saying theres a file created by a newer iTunes. So. I still need iTunes 9.2 to work or a later upgrade which works.APPLE ARE YOU LISTENING?

    I inadvertantly dropped my iphone 3 and now have a white screen with green vertical lines to the right of the screen.  It won't sync with itunes due to an error. What can I do?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If it does not resolve the issue, the device is permanently damaged and will require replacement.

  • Ipod touch won't sync music comes up with unknown error 13019

    my son's ipod touch 2nd gen won't sync music with itunes library, comes up with unknown error 13019.
    i tunes library is running version 5.0.1, ipod touch running 4.2.1 (highest upgrade available for this generation I have been told)

    Have gone to support page and done what they suggested. I removed all the music without a problem but when resyncing it it failed again. I watched it load all the music on and then at the final stage of syncing it failed and came up with error 13019 again and now the ipod has NO music on it and I am in trouble!!!

  • My iTouch is currently 4.2.1 and won't sync with iTunes.

    The Ipod shows up in iTunes, but when I click sync it says "Synching ipod" then "Synching ipod (step 1 of 1) preparing to sync to sync" and then stops with nothing synced. This happens in about 2 seconds. I am currently running windows 7 64 bit

    Try resetting the iPod and trying again.

  • I have an iPod Touch 3rd gen and while it is recognized by my laptop with Win 8.1, it won't sync with iTunes.

    I have an iPod Touch 3rd gen and while it is recognized by my laptop with Win 8.1, it won't sync with iTunes.  It worked fine while my laptop had Win 8 but after the update, it quit syncing.  Strange though, I downloaded an app directly to my iPod and when I connected it to my laptop again (for recharging if nothing else), iTunes updated itself by including the new app.  I also tried syncing wirelessly.  Also unsuccessful.  I'm about ready to change to an alternate to iTunes if I can't get this situation fixed.  Anyone else have this problem and/or a solution?

  • How to update ipod touch 3rd gen 64GB (A1318) to iOS 7. iOS 6 or iOS 7 required to install apps like youtube and soundcloud.

    Hello Apple,
    I have an iPod touch 3rd gen 64GB (A1318) and I wish to install apps like youtube and soundcloud from the app store. But most of the apps require iOS 6 or 7 for them to be installed into the iPod touch. So, how can update my iPod touch to iOS6 or 7. As the lasted update available is only iOS 5.1.1
    Kindly help me to get the apps installed into my iPod touch.
    Thanks.

    That iPod touch can't be updated past 5.1.1. If desired, click here and try following the instructions.

  • Facetime on itouch 3rd gen

    Hi im wondering if there is going to be a facetime app for the itouch 3rd gen? that will be able to connect to a computer with a webcam!! something like the icam app. Do you think this will ever happen??

    I doubt it since the earlier iPod do not have a camera. The FaceTime Beta app for Intel Mac computers will not install if the computer does not have a camera.

  • Itouch 3rd Gen to Itouch 4th Gen???

    I have an Itouch 3rd gen, If I buy an Itouch 4th gen, can I backup my 3rd gen and restore it to the new 4th Gen. (migrate) Thanks in advance.

    Most everything gets transferred.
    I did have to setup my lock code again, but that was about it.
    And of course there are a few new features to configure that were not on your 3rd gen

  • Unexpected on and off (itouch 3rd gen ISO 5.0.2), unexpected on and off (itouch 3rd gen ISO 5.0.2)

    unexpected on and off (itouch 3rd gen ISO 5.0.2), unexpected on and off (itouch 3rd gen ISO 5.0.2)

    Just get into "General" -> last option is "RESET" -> Opt for "RESET NETWORK SETTINGS"
    Your phone will reeboot in a couple of minutes n then get fine on with full signal on the wifi scale.
    Worked perfect for me. Do try n let me know.

  • Unexpected on and off (itouch 3rd gen ISO 5.0.1)

    unexpected on and off (itouch 3rd gen ISO 5.0.1)

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
