Itunes not syncing completely w/ ipod touch
I found that some albums were displaying duplicate songs on my ipod touch, but not in Itunes. I decided to try removing all music and re-syncing. Itunes goes through steps of synching, but doesn't take nearly as long as it should to remove all the music. When I disconnect the ipod touch, some of the music is removed but not all of it. When I plug it back into my pc, Itunes sees that there is 17 GB of music. Process repeats.
I may have found the answer.
I checked each of the Apps that needed updating, and they all listed that they needed an iOS version 6 or 7 - higher than the 5.1.1 that my iPod supports.
If this is the issue, it would be nice if there was some message or indication that this was the case.

ITunes not syncing music to iPod Touch?
I'm trying to sync some music to my iPod Touch 4G 64GB, but it skips the step after it checks tracks to sync. It's never done this before and I've unchecked, synced and rechecked and synced my music but nothing will transfer. It deleted all of my music I origonally had on it and most of my iTunes U videos, I'm not sure why or what to do.
My iPod is running iOS 6 beta 3
My computer is a MacBook Pro Early 2011 running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4
iTunes version 10.6.3Never mind the issue resolved itself

ITunes not syncing Apps on iPod Touch
My iPod Touch 3rd generation, model A1318 is running iOS 5.1 (latest for the model I believe).
I have the latest iTunes 11.2.2.3 running on Windows 8.1.1 running on a new computer and it is authorized to the Apple Store.
The apps update fine into iTunes on the computer, but when iTunes syncs to the iPod, only music syncs, the updated apps do not.
iTunes "knows" they are to be updated ("Update" displayed alongside the updated apps) and Automatically install is checked, but during sync, the apps never appear in iTunes progress bar and the apps don't get updated to the iPod.
Apps updated fine on my old XP system, but not on the new Windows 8.1 system.
Any help on this would be much appreciated - it is driving me nuts!I may have found the answer.

Itunes wont sync files to ipod touch
My friend's wife has been bedbound for years but before she could no longer use her desktop Windows 7 computer, she had gotten hundreds of songs in at least 10 playlists. She recently bought 3 CD/DVDs that she wanted me to rip with itunes and sync to her ipod touch 2. The ripping went fine, if a little slower than I would have thought, but the songs played fine in itunes. When I plugged the ipod touch in, it did not sync on it's own even though "Prevent iPods, IPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" is not checked. I clicked on the device and tried to sync it to the pod touch, it didn't copy the files on to the ipod touch. It said:
Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 1 of 3)
Waiting for sync to start
Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 2 of 3)
Preparing to sync
Syncing "iPod touch" (Step 3 of 3)
Waiting for changes to be applied
Preparing to copy items
Then nothing. I can sync again but it just does the same thing. One time it took the Preparing to copy items a minute or two, but most times it just flashes by. I actually had to do a screen capture to make sure what it said. The songs and videos are not copied and they do not show up on the ipod touch. She does not have sync all music checked as she has lots of songs she doesn't want on the ipod, just selected songs with the checkmark by them. The new songs have the checkmark, and I even tried copying the new songs into a playlist that was already on the ipod touch, but did not work. I deactivated the computer from itunes, uninstalled and reinstalled and reactivated. Still no copy. She was on an older version (maybe 11) so I upgraded to the newest 12.0.1.26 which didn't help either.
Once I manage to get the songs on the ipod touch, she can move them around to where ever she wants them though the ipod touch, and then we plug in a dock for her to listen to it through the stereo. Any ideas on what else to try to get the songs and videos on the ipod touch?What happens when you do this for the apps that do not sync?
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists. -
Apps will not sync to my Ipod touch
I read through the other question about the apps not syncing to the ipod touch. I then realized that I do not have the Applications tab on my Itunes. I also just recently downloaded the new Itunes as well. Not sure how to get the applications tab or how to get them to sync without it.

Two questions, have you ever been able to Sync Apps to his Touch and have you *enabled restrictions* on his Touch?
On the Touch, go into the Settings/General/Restrictions menu and look for *Installing Apps* on that list. If you have set restrictions on, *Installing Apps* is set to On as a default (on my Touch anyway), so you need to turn off the Apps one, at least until you have installed the ones you are prepared to let him have.

My new iPhone 3G will not sync with my iPod Touch 3G
I was pretty well assured that under my same iTunes account I would sync my Apps, music library, etc with out problem. I'm not sure if there's a setting I'm missing somewhere? The other thing is the iPod Touch is gone, so I have my library. Any advise? Thank you in advance!
What do you mean your "iPhone 3G will not sync with my iPod Touch 3G"? You don't sync an iPhone with an iPod - you sync directly to iTunes.
Just plug the iPhone into the computer with your iTunes Library on it and sync it as normal. Everything that is in that iTunes Library under that iTunes Account will be synced to the iPhone, in exactly the same way as you synced your iPod touch. -

I typically download my music directly from youtube. I have never had any issue when it came to putting it on my ipod touch (4th generation). However, today, I downloaded a couple of songs, added them to my iTunes (11.1.4). When I hit "sync" it said at the top that it was "Synching iPod: Steps 1of 3." It went through these steps incredibly quickly, a matter of seconds really, and I went to check it they had synced. They had not. I tried this several times before uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. Even with the re-install, it does not work. I am wondering if it is because these songs were not downloaded directly from the iTunes store. i tried downloading a song from the iTunes store and it is currently in my iPod, so I know that it is able to sync music. I just started using this version of iTunes as I just installed it on the laptop I just bought (windows 8).
Was the iPod setup via iTunes on this computer?
Setup via wifi?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

ITunes will not sync podcasts with iPod touch
I've tried just about everything I know and consulted the internet, but I cannot get iTunes to sync my podcasts with my iPod Touch. It will sync my music, but it simply will not sync any of my podcasts. It must be something simple, but I've exhausted my knowledge on this issue. It worked fine on my desktop, but when I tried to move it over to my laptop, it just wouldn't work, no matter what I try. Call me an idiot or whatever you need to do if this is something stupid, but please, help me get my podcasts back!
There's a good guide here on how to roll back to 10.7 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4559563?tstart=0

I got a new laptop and now all my music will not sync to my iPod touch. How do i fix this??
My old latop crashed and now i am using a laptop from work. i signed into my apple account. I downloaded 4 cds to my iTunes, and restored and updated my iPod touch 3rd generation. i tried syncing all the music on my account to my iPod, and it will only sync 48 of 600 or so songs. The 48 songs are from the 4 CDs. How do I get all of my previous music which does show up into my iTunes music library to sync to my iPod. HELP
While that may work9I do not think it will) with iTunes purchased music it will not work for other music.
- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.

ICal not syncing properly w/ iPod Touch
I believe this is an iCal problem, not an iPod issue:
My new iPod Touch is not syncing properly with my iCal calendars. I notice after syncing "All Calendars" that some of my appointments in iCal were showing up, but most were not. And some events on my iPod were not on my laptop. I tried the "Replace Information" option under Info in iTunes, but it didn't help. Then I noticed something even weirder -- the list of Calendars that appears in the "Selected Calendars" list in iTunes is NOT my current set of calendars. The iTunes list includes some calendars that I have deleted or renamed, and is missing some new ones. So I guess I'm not surprised by the events being out of sync, but how can this be? How can iTunes be picking up an obsolete set of calendars and events?
I tried a backup within iCal, then deleted every calendar one-by-one, leaving just a new calender named "empty". I quit iCal and iTunes, and also deleted four files in my Prefs folder and the iCal folder in Application support. Then I did restored from my iCal backup, and quit and restarted both iCal and iTunes. After all that, iTunes still shows the old list of calendars.
I'll also mention that iCal itself has been very squirrelly for quite a long time. Every so often it will just "run away", chewing up CPU and memory until I force-quit. Haven't solved that one, yet, either.
Any suggestions?PROBLEM SOLVED: I backed up my iCal data (from within iCal); quit; deleted all prefs, iCal cache files, and the whole Calendars folder in my Library; then relaunched iCal and Restored from my backup file. iTunes then showed the correct list of calendars when I connected my iPod touch, and I got a proper sync. Who knows, maybe this will also fix the frequent runaway crashes I've been having.

Itunes not backing up my ipod touch!
I have a 4th generation ipod touch. When i try to download software 4.3.5 it doesnt let me because i cant back up.
I have deleted my previous back up and that has not worked.
Some details:
I have ipod software 4.3.4
I have windows XP
I have McAfee family protection software
My ipod is not jailbroken
I get a message saying 'unable to backup ipod (name) because backup cannot be sabed to computer' when i try to get ipod update and try to back up!
Help please!:(Without knowing exactly"why it did not work (error message?) all I can suggest:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
