ITunes could not sync information to the iPod...because a connection could not be established

The only history I could find on this problem is at http://discussions.apple.com/thread/2059115?threadID=2059115
'iTunes could not sync information to the iPod "device name" because a connection could not be established to the iPod'
I have an old iPod Touch, for which the most recent compatible OS seems to be 3.1.3.  iTunes is quite new (iTunes 10.3.1.55) on Windows 7 Profession 64-bit.  Has everyone else who has had this problem on an old iPod Touch found that it was solved, or do they just ignore it?

You will not lose data doing a reset.
If this does not work, maybe try to use a second user account, disable autosync in iTunes, plug in, right click on it in the device list and choose "backup". This will create a backup without syncing.
If the backup goes through, transfer purchase the same way.
Set up at least on contact and event for that new account, let iTunes erase the device and restore from the backup you made before.
If it works for the second user account, there's something wrong on the other side, maybe a defective backup or iTunes.

  • Error: iTunes could not sync information to the iPod because a connection..

    I am getting this error window almost every time I sync my iPod Touch to iTunes. A few seconds after connecting my iPod to my computer via USB, an error window pops up saying: "iTunes could not sync information to the iPod "name" because a connection could not be established to the iPod; OK button".
    Well, my iPod IS connected via USB cable, sync starts, and after I click OK in the error window, sync continues, and at the end everything seems to be fine, all my podcasts, songs, mail, calendars, etc. seem to be there fine.
    Any idea what is causing this error window to pop-up and how to solve this problem?
    See system specs below.

    Chiming in as well, having the same issue with my first gen iPod touch, only started happening after update to 3.0.
    Hopefully this fixed when 3.1 comes out, everything seems to work fine (in fact, syncing immediately after the first sync produces no errors, only seems to happen after disconnect / reconnect)

  • ITunes could not sync information to the iPod "...." because another sync session was already running.

    Normally, syncing my iPod Touch is no problem. However, last time I tried to sync, the process hung up and even after half an hour the progress bar would not finish. I ended up having to force quit iTunes. Now when I try to sync I get 2 messages: the first says "iTunes could not back up the iPod "......" because a session could not be started with the iPod." as soon as I close that message another appears: "iTunes could not sync information to the iPod "......." because another sync session was already running."
    There seems to be a half finished sync file saved somewhere and a new one cannot be started. However, I can't continue the partial one either so I'm stuck.
    Other than that my iPod Touch 4 is operating normally. Syncing with Mac Book Pro.
    How do I fix this problem?

    WHat do yo meanby rebooting?
    Is is a reset like defined in the users guide:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPod because the iPod disconnected"

    OK, I have an MBP (10.6.4), iTunes 10.0.1, iPod touch 4.1, and an odd contacts sync problem.
    When I try to sync all my contacts from address book I get "iTunes could not sync contacts to the iPod because the iPod disconnected". If I only sync some subset of the contacts, that works fine. If I create a new group that contains all the contacts, it barfs.
    I have tried resetting and reinstalling, and deleting the backups.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Did you try to reset the sync history in iSync on the Mac?

  • ITunes could not sync calendars  to the iPod because sync server failed to

    I have been having a problem with my iPod touch and syncing the calendar with my PC I keep getting this error message +iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPod "Peters iPod" because sync server failed to sync the iPod+ It could be coincidence but this problem began right after I got my Verizon iPhone and loaded that into my iTunes, I never get this message on my iPhone and have received it only twice on my iPad. I called Apple Care and they suggested that I remove and reinstall iTunes and QuickTime and they sent me a link on how to remove them in a particular sequence...I followed their advice but it didn't help so I called them back and they said I must not have followed the sequence and to try again...needles to say I am frustrated because it wasn't that complicated I removed it as directed and still I get the error message...if anyone has any suggestions *please help!!*

    Thanks, Stuwawah.  Tried this.  Although Notes did sync, and although the calendar info was posted to iPod, we haven't fixed the problem yet.  New symptom to report.  When I opened "calendar" on the iPod, I was able to tap on an event, but I can't tap my way back to any other view of "calendar."  The "<--calendars" button is missing.  Is there a trip to the Apple Store in my near future?

    How to fix this sync problem ?

    [Reposting from another, similar thread which I started]
    Hey.  I "fixed" the issue for myself, although this fix might not be available to you.  I have a home laptop and a work desktop both running W7. I was syncing contacts with my work computer because that's where most of my contacts originate, but it isn't essential that I do so.  I exported my contact database from my work Outlook to a .pst file, dropped it in Dropbox, came home and loaded the updated contacts, and then synced the phone.  It worked fine and I suppose that's how I'll have to do it from now on.
    I've had random problems since our company "upgraded" to a Windows Exchange server with user data getting corrupted.  After the server pushes updates to our desktops, I've had things like Firefox settings disappearing and such.  I assume this was similar and iTunes couldn't find my contact database, or it was corrupted in such a way that it still works fine in Outlook but can't sync.  Anyway, I don't have the time or patience to solve this on the work box and I don't know if I ever could.  My eventual fix (probably coming soon) will be to buy a 4S  
    Good luck with your phone.  Have you tried a restore?

  • Itunes could not sync information to the iPad

    I'm getting this error for all of my devices.  I've rebooted, changed usb ports, etc.  I just got a new iPad and "iTunes could not sync information to the iPad becuase a connection could not be estabilished to the iPad.

    Nevermind... restarted computer and it all worked out. Weird though.

  • 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.

    just open your iCloud acc on iPhone
    turn off calendars (it wil ask you to keep info or not - KEEP IT!)
    and turn back on (MERGE!)
    now SYNC it..
    and that's it
    PS in my case it was contacts so the procedure is the same..

    Get the following error when trying to sync itunes to Nano itunes could not coppy " Song"  to the ipod because unknown error occurred (-5000).  Any ideas?

    Try my script FindTracks. Select a few of the missing files to start with then run the script. Choose No at the first prompt so that you can check how it works track by track, then confirm or edit the location of the media folder where your files are. Once you are happy with how it behaves let it process larger numbers of tracks automatically.
