Itunes 11 won't sync to Ipod touch 2nd gen on windows 8

2nd gen Ipod Touch 16gb. It will not sync to Itunes 11.0.2.26 on Windows 8. Itunes can see the device since it appears in my list of devices. When I attempt to sync it, it goes thru the sthe 3 steps.
1. Preparing to sync
2. Waiting to sync
3, Finished syncing
I do not receive any errors but no music is sync'd to the Ipod.
I have updated the Ipod to the latest and greatest software. I have uninstalled and re-installed Itunes. I have reset the Ipod to factory default
I have performed the numerous possible resolutions posted on the discussion boards but nothing has resolved the problem.

Do you have the right boxes checked? See:

The iPod will only sync with iTunes. Install iTunes on your computer, import the music into the iTunes library and then sync.

Syncing Ipod Touch 2nd gen to Windows 7 PC. i have tried everything.

Okay so, i've been using my Itunes for about a year now, without using any apple device, just so i could listen to music.. My sister gave me her Ipod touch 2nd generation yesterday. It was connected and synced to a different library but i thought that my Itunes was at least supposed to recognize the device? i want to sync it with my library, even if that means i lose all the media and data on it now.
My computer doesn't even recognize the ipod. When i plug it in it says it's charging, but the Device Manager has no "Unknown Device" or "USB Mass Storage Device" or even "Ipod". It doesn't have a title even relevant to the ipod.
I've tried everything on these two articles. None of it works. V Help, please!

I have been trying for about a month to get my Touch to sync with i-tunes. I have already used up my "1" support from the technical center and I think apple is a bunch of a$$es for not supporting this product better. They change the OS for i-tunes and then nothing works afterwards....Lame! If anyone finds out how to repair this issue please let us know, Apple is of no help to us. I'm glad windows has something out now, time for something new on the Christmas list !!!!!

ITunes Won't Sync with iPod Touch

Since migrating to my new iMac my old iPod Touch would not sync with iTunes. After following the articles on reinstalling the mobile device support I found that the iPod would only sync with iTunes once before it was necessary to reinstall again. Not very helpful.
Anyway, the solution is here! Run software update, as there is an iPhone SDK patch ready and waiting for you. Downloaded and restarted the iMac, and hey presto we have an iPod again, hoorah.

Bingo! Worked for me too (running Software Update and installing the iPhone SDK update).
I'm also staggered that this isn't explicitly mentioned as a likely fix in the general troubleshooting page for this connection problem on this site. As someone who diligently -- but manually -- downloads all patches and updates, I never use Software Update, and yet I could not find the iPhone SDK update available to download manually.
Background: my 2nd gen iPod Touch refused to be recognised by iTunes after upgrading my machine to Snow Leopard. iPod recognised by iPhoto and in iTunes on another Mac. Tried every troubleshooting item on the list at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
Notice that the suggestion to try Software Update is way down the list and is easy to disregard if you prefer to update your machine manually, as I do.
Given the number of users with this problem (I've read through dozens of posts looking for a fix for a good three weeks now) you'd think someone at Apple would reorder the troubleshooting list or at least highlight this option. Hopefully anyone else with this issue will stumble upon this thread, as I did, and get a happy result.

ITunes won't sync with iPod Touch after factory reset

I recently bought a used iPod Touch 3rd Generation 32GB and I erased and reset all settings on the iPod. It told me on the iPod to hook it up to iTunes, so when I got home that's what I did but I can't use my iPod on iTunes. The only thing that pops up is upload images which it can't because it is a 3rd Generation iTouch.
HELP PLEASE

Start with some basic steps:
- Restart both your computer and iPod
- Try another usb cable
- Try another usb port in the computer
- Make sure iTunes is up to date
- Temporarily disable any security software and/or firewalls
For further troubleshooting steps have a read through the article below based on your computers operating system:

Apps won't sync for Ipod Touch 5th gen and Itunes 11

I need some suggestions on how to fix this. I have removed and reinstalled itunes with no success.
I updated Itunes and now I can't sync apps on the ipod. I am manually selecting the apps. It syncs apps for another 4th gen ipod but wont for the newer one.
It will sync music but not apps.

Yes I have synced before with no problem to the new Ipod.
Music is syncing okay.
In the APP tab in itunes it thinks it has synced the apps, they just haven't actually appeared on the ipod.
The apps have synced to an older ipod.
I updated Itunes, I was going to try to go back to the earlier verision of Itunes but because of another issue (no hard drive space) I deleted my restore points and can't get back earlier itunes.

Ipod touch 2nd gen stuck on low battery screen and won't turn on, Ipod touch 2nd gen stuck on low battery screen and won't turn on

My ipod touch was working fine until yesterday it just shut off with about half of charge left. I tried holding the power and home button but nothing. When I plug it into the charging wall outlet the low battery screen pops up and same goes for when I plug it into iTunes on my computer. I let it alone overnight to see if the battery would drain but same thing happened today. What should I do?

I have never seen this answer before but here's what worked for me and I found it accidentally.
I have an iPhone and an iPad and I only had 1 charger (my only Apple cord didn't work anymore so I had thrown it out and I thought maybe that was the problem, except my iphone charged fine with my pink cord) by my bedside, so I would just hook up the one that needed it the most before I went to bed. Well one day I woke up to find that my iPad had a low battery, with the red battery picture. When I plugged it into the charger, it just kept recycling to the Apple logo and then the spinning wheel of death, and back again.
I did some research and couldn't figure it out. People who thought it was a dead battery still had the same problem after they sent it in and got a new battery My iPad is not jail broken and half the "solutions" were over my head. I have over 1300 apps on my iPad, not to mention thousands of pictures, that I was just feeling so bereft and sad that I might have lost everything. So I just let my iPad sit, and drained the whole battery down to the nubbin. It was 2-3 days without a charger that I just let it sit.
Then I put it on the charger again and I noticed I still got the red battery symbol, but the red was a thinner slice. I went to work and left it on the charger all day. When I returned, one of my FB notifications came on and bam, there it was, my sign on screen or whatever it's called, where you slide the thingy across. And it was back!!!!!!
So I was overjoyed. I'd also had a problem syncing with a warning that it overloaded my USB port. It was a separate problem, but I was able to sync it after that, and my iPhone too, so I was ecstatic.
Then the battery thing happened again about a week later. I thought I had been diligent about keeping it charged but it went down after only a day off the charger. Realized that I had FB and mail notifications notifying me in the startup screen, so that it was constantly turning itself on and off. I have almost 5000 FB friends and 10 email accounts, so that was a lot of steady activity that I wasn't really aware of. I have now turned off all notifications to every app, since they also come on my phone AND I bought a 2nd cord, a purple one, so now I'm set and don't expect to ever have that problem again.
Hope this helps everyone who thought they had a brick.

Apps won't update! iPod touch 2nd gen!

I have a almost brand new ipod touch and normally when i have wifi little red numbers will pop up about undates for pre-existing apps, & ill just click "update all" and it works. but now, I press "update all" and it starts to work and then a little msg says "Cannot connect to the iTunes store. I have wifi, and the account that i use is correct, but for some reason it wont update. so now i have a little, red, annoying "10".
Please Help!

Are you sure your WiFi is working? Can you contact sites with Safari?
You can always update your apps using iTunes and it is probably a whole lot faster.

While trying to sync my iPod Touch (2nd gen), it will only sync about 5-15 songs before saying "iTunes has stopped working."

I just got some new songs, and want to put them on my iPod. I connected it to my laptop, and iTunes opened and automatically started to sync my songs. It only synced the first 8, then displayed an error message saying "iTunes has stopped working." The only option was to close the program, so I did. I then tried at least ten more times, with the same results. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but nothing is working. Please help!

Adding CD music to Itunes - does not sync to ipod touch 5 gen

Windows 7PC. Easy to add the music from a CD to Itunes.
But, then when I sync itunes to Ipod, music does not export to Ipod.
Must be a setting that is not right?
Have to reload them all again?

"Across the top, there is Summary, Apps, MUSIC- Click on Music"
Yes, those are the sync settings that I referred to in my answer.
"Make sure the (check mark) is sync music, click on entire music library"
This option works fine for small music libraries. When it gets bigger, it won't fit on the iPhone. At that point simply switch to more selective syncing.

Syncing the ipod touch 2nd gen to imac

IPod touch 2nd gen will not open in iTunes. Ideas?

I upgrading the latest version of iTunes and I went to sync my iPod touch 2nd gen to get my latest podcasts and it would not sync or even recognize in iTunes. My PC recognizes the drive. But iTunes is a no go. I suspected it was just the latest version of iTunes so I downgraded back to the previous version and got the same results. I've switched USB ports, cables and have restarted numerous times. I even uninstalled the device from the device manager but nothing is working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
