ITunes cannot sync apps to the iPod because the apps installed on the iPod could not be determined

I have a 3rd generation iPod touch. I just downloaded the IOS 5.0, I seem to have all the features (reader, notification center, newsstand, etc.), but I recently experienced a problem.
After getting the update and restoring my iPod, iTunes started reinstalling all my music, apps, and videos. It reinstalled all my apps last, and before that, I used iTunes to delete a lot of them and organize them into folders. I then re synced it. Midway through this, I had to leave, but I had heard that I could sync my iPod wirelessly if it was connected to wifi and an outlet, so I checked the little box and tried this. However, I then got the error message "iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPod '______' because the apps installed on the iPod could not be determined". All my songs, videos, and 5,800 photos are on there, but half my apps are fully synced and usable, while the other half shows up with a loading bar at the bottom saying "waiting".
Yes, I have the "Sync Apps" box ticked.
Yes, my computer is authorized.
Yes, I have verified that all the apps are in my iTunes.
Yes, I tried plugging my iPod back into iTunes and manually syncing it.
I would simply restore it and resync again, but the majority of my photos aren't on my computer, so if I did that, they would be gone. After I installed the IOS 5.0, and my iPod was restored, it automatically put all my photos back. If someone can tell me whether or not this is something that's automatic whenever you restore your iPod (whether it be manually from iTunes or from an update), that would also be greatly appreciated.
However, what I'm looking for is simply a way to get my other 80+ apps back in working order without having to restore my iPod or anything too complicated.

EDIT:
I tried restarting my iPod... now it just says that the iPod cannot be synced because the required disk cannot be found.
This update is seriously frustrating. I've heard from a lot of people that the wifi iTunes sync isn't working either.

ITunes cannot sync apps to the iPod because the apps installed on the iPod could not be determined error message

I've been getting the "iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPod because the apps installed on the iPod could not be determined" error message for a while. I have tried restoring my iPod but as soon as I try to sync it again (even with nothing changing in iTunes or on the iPod) I get the same error message. Whenever I want to add music to my iPod I have to delete everything and then wait hours for it to restore which is ridiculous. Anyone have any other suggestions for fixing this problem?
I'm using a 3rd generation iPod touch with 4.2.1 software and iTunes 10.5.3.3

The fact that there is so many discussions with no clear answer is the problem.
I went back and looked through all the different suggestions and and tried them all to make sure I didn't miss anything. What finally worked for me was making sure all apps were updated on the iPod and making sure all apps were updates in iTunes (under the Library>Apps tab NOT under devices) and then syncing.

ITunes "canceling sync," certain songs won't sync to iPhone 4

Despite not making any hardware or software changes, I find myself not being able to sync certain songs to my iPhone 4. The sync process goes through all the steps as usual, and then on the last step, syncing music, after a few songs copy it says "Canceling sync." There is no pop-up error, so I just have to notice when "Canceling sync" shows up for a couple seconds to know that not everything copied that I wanted to.
My music library is on an external hard drive, as it has been for quite a while. The songs that don't sync to the iPhone are from a variety of sources: iTunes purchases, non-iTunes purchases, GarageBand tracks, CD rips. They all play on iTunes. They can be synced to and play on my iPods (a Shuffle and a Classic). I've tried closing and reopening iTunes, resetting the iPhone, ejecting and reconnecting the external hard drive, resetting the computer. Same problem every time.
The missing songs do show up on the iPhone, but they're in grey and can't be played. Most of them used to be on the iPhone and played with no problem. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
I had one music that was not syncing to my iPad. The artwork was a picture of me and my daugther (we recorded the music together on a studio).
I can only sync this music after deleting the artwork!
Maybe the artwork file you used for these songs could be the problem. Try change or deleting the artwork of these songs.
Hope it helps!
Regards.

Itunes cannot sync certain music formats

My Itunes cannot sync my music to my iphone - it says there has been an error when transferring to the phone. How could I change the format of the song before creating a playlist and syncing to my phone please?

The iPhone supports these formats, which are supported with iTunes.
.Audio formats supported: AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), HE-AAC, MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV.
iTunes includes an option to create an AAC version for an existing song or music file. With the song or music file selected in iTunes, at the iTunes menu bar go to Advanced and select Create AAC version. This will duplicate the existing song or music file in an AAC version. The original will not be replaced or deleted.

"Disk cannot be read from or written to" When syncing CERTAIN songs to iPod

So I bought my friend's iPod Touch. I've talked to her about this issue and she's never experienced anything of the sort. When I got her iPod Touch I downloaded the newest software (3.1.2).
It's still currently running on 3.1.2 (as I know of no way to set it back to a previous version). When I try to update the iPod it will sync fine until reaching certain songs. These songs will freeze iTunes entirely for a few moments, an error message will pop up saying "Disk cannot be read from or written to". The only way I could go around this predicament was to go through my library and un-check the songs which caused the iPod sync to fail. This is quite annoying having to have several songs un-checked as some of them are the songs I want to listen to.
What can I do to fix this? I've reset and restored everything. Multiple times. Yet to no avail.
The error occurs only with songs, I have not run in to any errors updating applications (yet).
I'm running Mac OS X Snow Leopard, the iPod Touch is running 3.1.2 (the newest update), the iPod was originally purchased back in July.

I suggest you read through the following article for some help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1207
Normally, if you have a DRM'd song that you do not own, you will get an error (not this one, however) that the song will not/cannot be copied to your iPod. My feeling is that you might have some corrupted files.

Computer crashed before I could sync new songs onto ipod

I was wondering if there is a way to effectively "repurchase" the songs I just bought, without actually paying again. I purchased a bunch and burned them onto a CD before I lost my entire Itunes library in a crash. Unfortunately, that CD has some sound quality issues, I think because I burned it at maximum speed, my bad.
I feel like Itunes should be allowing me to get those songs without having to sync them from my Ipod, as in, I go into my Itunes Store purchase history and put those all on my "new" library. Is this just wishful thinking?

You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so: iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once

System Rebuild - Cannot sync purchased songs with IPOD

I recently had to rebuild my laptop, starting with the OS (Yes, it is a Windows machine . Before I did this, I copied all of my songs out of my music folder onto an external drive.
I thought that is what I would need to do. But I sense that there is more to it.
Upon rebuild, I copied all of those songs into the new my music folder. When I opened Itunes...they were all there. All 1233 of them. However, after syncing with my IPOD...it would only sync the songs that came from CD. All that were purchased are not on my IPOD. They remain in my itunes folder.
Does anyone know what I need to do? We are talking approximately 350 songs that I have purchased on Itunes...so it is substantive.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Did you reauthorise your PC after you restored Windows and reloaded iTunes? Do the songs themselves play in iTunes? For more on authorising have a look at this page:
About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

Itunes cannot play certain songs and will not add them to the library

i have music files on both a hard drive connected to a router plus i have placed the specific files onto my mac to try to fix this issue to no avail. while songbird, vox, and several other players will easily load correctly and do exactly what i want, itunes will not play these songs, will skip over them when i try to add to the library and will not play the file if i drag and drop, try to load it through the "file, add to library" method. the files are .ogg, .m4a, .mp3, .m4p, and they just will not show up. Any media players out there that will recognize an ipod so i can load these files up and get away from my mac for a while?

@CPL_STEELE: can you try to post these specifications in your own topic? (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=985161&tstart=0)
It's not very nice to take over someone else this topic, because the topic starter (Ganieda) could have another problem than you. It's also very confusing for everyone who is trying to help because there are now 2 problems in the same topic.
Never the less, feel free to follow this topic if you think it could be interesting for you problem.

Itunes cannot sync photos

Trying to sync photos to new 80GB Classic. I get the following error message "itunes cannot sync photos to the ipod "ipod name" because the folder "my pictures" cannot be found."
I coincidentally got a a new computer a week ago and I get the same error message on both the new computer and the old computer.
I've seen several posts about photo syncing problems but I have not yet seen the resolution...maybe I missed it? Any help?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take an action that isn't working the way you expect. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

HT1386 I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in".

I sync all songs, photos and videos between my computer and iPod classic with no problems, but when I get to sync info I get this message: "iTunes cannot sync Calendar and contacts to iPod. Try logging out of Windows adn then logging back in". Could you please help?

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

HT1351 How do you manually sync songs onto iPod/iPhone with the recent iTunes? This article is invalid as there is no section on the left hand side of iTunes called 'Devices'.

Very frustraiting as I cannot currently put songs onto my iPod/iPhone after regrettably downloading the most recent iTunes, and my friends are having the same problem. I have an apple mac and it is clearly a fault of the new iTunes as it used to work before the new iTunes.

It's is Sooooooooo RETARTED!!! WHY CAN'T I MANUALLY ADD PLAYLISTS TO MY IPHONE??? AFTER I PURCHASE MUSIC IN ITUNES I THEN USUALLY CREATE A PLAYLIST (In Itunes 10.7) BECAUSE I FORGET THE ARTISTS!!

I HAVE TO WRITE DOWN THE ARTSISTS NAMES AND ENTER THEM INTO THE SEARCH BAR AND ADD THE SONGS MANUALLY TO MY IPHONE ICON!!!! ITUNES 11 JUST PUTS ME IN A REALLY BAD MOOD! I'm soo mad and upset. First world problems yo...

I have song in itunes that will not load onto ipod ?

I have a song in itunes that will not download onto ipod, nothing by song in library indicating there is a problem. Can anyone help me ?

Does the song have a tick-in-the-box next to the song title? (You may have selected to Sync only ticked songs and videos to your iPod. This option is on the Device/Sumary pane that appears when you connect the iPod to iTunes.)
Is the song in a format the iPod can play? (Is it the same format as other songs that do Sync to your iPod?)
Have you looked (on the iPod) under songs as well as artists? (It may show up under songs but not under artists.)
Try the Search facility on the iPod and see if it shows up that way.
