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 10.6.3

Never 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.
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 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 HAVE A TWO YEAR OLD IMAC WITH ITUNES. I DECIDED TO TRY AND SYNC AN OLDER MODEL IPOD. EVERYTIME I CONNECT THE IPOD USB TO THE IMAC, I GET THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE:
Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled.
I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER USB DEVICE CONNECTED. NOTHING AT ALL. IT SEEMS MY IMAC IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH AN OLDER IPOD??
HELP. THANK YOU.

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.

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.

My itunes wont sync music onto ipod

itunes wont sync music onto ipod because the file/disk could not be read or written...help me pleasee i just want my music onto ipod.. all the music is still on my itunes and i have like 300 songs but its wont go onto my ipod!!!!

You can only drag and drop if you have iTunes configured to manually manage music. With the iPod connected to the compute go to the Summary pane for the iPod and check the box under Options that says sync only checked songs and videos.

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.

I solved it myself!
Found that in "info" on the ipod sync page, "Sync Contacts....", "Sync Calendars..." and "Sync mail accounts...." had become unticked

ITunes not syncing music

Hello,
I am having a problem with iTunes not syncing music to my iPad. I want to have my entire library on my iPad, this used to fit.
A few weeks ago I started getting an error, most of my music had vanished. I attempted to sync it back, but was told that there was not enough space on my iPad, despite no new files being added.I looked again and noticed something. I had 20GB of OTHER in iTunes, this is approximately the size of my music library.
It is fairly clear what happened, the music files were corrupted somehow, but were still there and taking up space on the iPad. So I decided to restore my iPad. First restoring and once everything had been wiped and back to factory setting, restoring from a backup.
This worked and I was left with only 1gb of other. At this point there was still no music on my device sync music was unchecked.
So once I was sure everything was up and running, I checked the sync music box... and nothing happened. It would begin synching, it would determine the tracks to sync for a moment... then it would quickly finish syncing without adding the music files.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

Why is my latest itunes not syncing music with my music on my iphone 4s with iOS 7?

Here's what I did. If you have an existing playlist and add a song to it, drag the whole playlist into the phone icon. It will ask if you want to Replace the playlist..YES. In my case i added one song in the playlist to test it. It synced the one song and also kept all the other songs but it didnt run through every song, so it was really fast. This is what I would do...drag and drop. Also, I shut down my phone and started it again, before I did the sync. I hope this helps

Can't Sync Music to iPod Touch

I am having issues syncing or adding music to my iPod Touch. So here's what happened... I was adding new music to the iPod. I select an album and drag & drop it onto my iPod Touch in iTunes to sync the music onto my iPod. While it's syncing that album I drag and dropped another album to be synced. Once I did this all syncing ended. Afterwards I can't sync anything at all onto my iPod Touch.
I've restarted my iPod by holding the power button and home button at the same time. I've turned the device off by holding the sleep button in until it gives me the option to turn the device off. I've restarted iTunes too. The only thing that temporarily helped was updating to iOS 7.1.2, but afterwards the same issues persisted.

hi there. thanks for responding. my answers underlined
What happens when you try to sync? it looks like it's working, but maybe it's just syncing from ipod TO imac not the other way round, not sure.
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
yes i think so. the imac is new to us, and previously i THINK the ipod was sync'd to our pc
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
no
Do the songs play in iTunes?
yes
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
yes
does that narrow anything down ??
thanks again
