Itunes v8 syncprocesses take an eternity when my iPod Touch 2g is connected
Ever since my upgrade to itunes v8 (on Windows XP) it take minutes for each step of the sync'ing process where they use to take only seconds. I connect my ipod touch and it take 5 minutes for the icon to appear in the 'devices' section. I literally have to walk away from my computer and come back later.
Sync'ing the ipod from start to finish takes 20 times longer than it use to. I've also noticed that the sync'ing messages on my Touch are not in time with the sync'ing messages displayed in iTunes. For instance, when I press the Sync button in iTunes to sync my Touch...the 'sync in progress' message appears on the iPod Touch minutes before iTunes displays a similar message.
The bottom line is that every sync-related process iTunes 8 runs seems to take an eternity to complete whenever my ipod Touch 2g is attached. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes (and all Apple programs) a number of times. I've even tried restoring my Touch several times. No matter what I do, as soon as I plug in the iPod Touch every processes related to sync'ing takes extended amounts of time.
Can anyone help? Is this a known issue? Is there a fix or a work around? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Itunes doesn't open when my ipod touch 4g is connected, consequently it won't charge or sync
itunes doesn't open when my ipod touch 4g is connected, consequently it won't charge or sync
I was surprised too, but I guess nobody gave a cr*p. I figured it out on my own. Basically, sync, then uncheck the box for the option to open iTunes when that iPod is hooked up, sync again, then check the box, and sync one last time. A dialog box pops up that asks if it's OK to install "iTunes Helper". Say "yes". Now it works.

IPhoto opens even when the iPod Touch is not connected
I came across discussions on the iPod Touch and issues with iPhoto and am hoping that a solution can be found for my problem.
My 13 year old step-son visited over the Christmas/New Year and was plugging his iPod Touch into and out of our Mac laptop. In fact, we believe that he was doing the very same thing described in this reply regarding: "...the result of downloading a photo in Safari on the iPod (or taking a screen shot). The file is stored locally on the device, however when it is connected to your computer, iPhoto will open thinking that the iPod is a digital camera/memory card..."
We noticed that iPhoto and not iTunes opened whenever he plugged in the iPod Touch and told him not to download any pictures onto the Mac. We are not sure if iTunes ever opened. Well, he's gone now and every time we turn on the laptop now, iPhoto automatically opens up even though there are no devices connected to the laptop.
We are also experiencing video distortion of the computer screen when waking it from sleep. To get the computer to work again, we have to force shut down by holding down the power button. So, basically, we now cannot allow the computer to go to sleep! We believe that this has something to do with the iPod Touch having been used on our laptop.
During an entire day of trying to figure out what could be wrong with the computer (and we are not avid computer users!) we found that in the System Preferences - desktop and screen savers module, the entire iPhoto library is there along with the standard screen savers. We are not sure if this is supposed to be? We tried deleting the library of pictures in the screen savers module but were unsuccessful.
All was fine before and now we're having no end of troubles since the departure of our little one and his iPod Touch! Help!!!Ok, thanks so much

Brand new iPod touch won't connect with iTunes
Hi,
I have just been given an iPod Touch (32 gb) and am trying to get it to work.
I started by down loading a new copy of iTunes (there was an old version on my computer) and installing it. I plugged in the iPod and for a few seconds it displayed the apple logo. Then a symbol showing a usb cable with an arrow pointing to a iTunes logo appeared. The computer detects the iPod, but iTunes doesn't. I have not been able to progress past this screen. Initally, I thought that it might not have charged, so I left it plugged in for a few hours. I contacted Apple, and on their instructions, I've tried turning it off and doing a restore. I've also removed iTunes and then reinstalled it. I've tested my setup on an old iPod (iTunes detects it fine) and another iPod Touch (iTunes doesn't detect it). When the iPod Touch is connected to a Mac, it works fine.
My computer uses Windows XP and is about six years old.
Does anybody have an idea for something else I can try? Thank you in advance.Try removing your Security Software(nortons,Zone alarm,Mcaffe etc)or at least turning it off and reboot, then delete the driver installed for your i-pod and reinstall the driver, then reinstall your Security System.Hope that helps it worked for me!!!!

When my ipod touch is in recovery mode (when I try to re-store it) the itunes page sayes the website has been timed out and so it won't re-store. There is a limited time, whilst restoring the ipod, it lasts for approx 5 mins, then asks to start again all over again. Can anyone please help me?

what do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet. i have contacted apple support and they said to change from wep to wpa2 but when i change it to wpa2 and type in password and connect on my laptop it says the saved setting on this computer for the network do not match the require ments of the network
My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
You may need to go back and start over. Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router. -

The other responder gave you a program that will transfer stuff from your iPod to your new computer. You can transfer iTunes purchaces to your new computer by:

After you move your stuff to your new computer you will have to let iTunes erase your iPod and then sync with the stuff that is now in your iTunes library. You will loose app data though. -
