ITunes wont cannot read my ipod touch 5th generation??

When i plug in my ipod 5th generation a message pops up on iTunes that says:
"itunes cannot read the contents of the ipod 'Danielle's iPod". Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings."
I've only had my ipod for about a week and I'd really like to not have to reset it out of fear of it not working properly again, but i need to be able to sync it. So is there another option i could try first? Like i've sycned my ipod a few times before but all of a sudden it cant read it. Does this have to do with iTunes or my iPod? HALP.

Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

  • ITunes can't read my iPod Video 5th Generation

    Hey guys,
    So my iPod was messed up for a while back, but I managed to reset/restore it so it's basically at a clean slate. Now when I plug it into my computer, it shows the normal "Do not disconnect." screen and it even shows up on My Computer.
    The problem is: iTunes can't read it. It shows nothing on the side panel of iTunes. I tried doing all the device manager things and everything seems to be good. I have an iPod Nano 3rd Generation and it works perfectly well on my iTunes when I plug it in.
    Any suggestions on how to get my iTunes to read my iPod Video 5th generation?

    Watcha,
    I haven't had any of these problems yet, but getting ready to download the newer version of Itunes. I have a HP Pavilion PC-based laptop with Windows 7, and also an IPOD Video 5th Gen. So I really hope I won't get any problems. Sorry I didn't have any solutions and hope your problems were solved.

  • Itunes won't read my ipod touch 4th Generation

    Sometimes, when I plug my ipod touch into the computer, itunes doesn't see it.  It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's fustrating.  If anyone out there knows how to fix this problem, I would love to hear their advice. 

    Here is the general Apple article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    However, based on your symptoms you may have a poor connection somewhere. Have you tried a different cable, different USB ports.
    Also, look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and broken or cracked plastic.

    i just goyt my ipod touch 5th generation three days ago and left it in my bed with my screen down and itunes wont read it and it wont charge what do i do??? please help me

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Since updating iTunes my new iPod touch 5th generation wont show up.

    I recently updated iTunes on Friday. But now that I try to sync my iPod touch 5th generation it is not showing up in iTunes. The iPod asks if I trust this computer and I click yes but nothing happens. What should I do?

    In case you haven't found this yet... I managed to fix the problem with my iPhones by updating the USB device driver.  The instructions are in this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5822553?tstart=0
    or you can follow this knowlege base article on the Apple site:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    (for me the problem required me following the instructions in the "If only Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod appears" section, but it may be different in your case)
    Maybe Apple updated the USB drivers in this updated version of iTunes?  I'm not sure why the installer failed to install these drivers automatically (maybe that isn't possible??).  Maybe this is just a Windows problem and has nothing to do with Apple?  Who knows...

    Have you considered connecting it to her computer running iTunes? That would seem to be the logical first thing to try...
    It's in recovery mode because someone incorrectly attempted to enter the passcode too many times. It must be restored using iTunes.

  • The apps wont install in my ipod touch 5th gen

    the apps wont install in my ipod touch 5th gen, it says 'will install' but it wont. i downloaded it through itunes in my pc. and the files doesnt sync. help

    Resetting settings does not remove Restrictions. Thus as Diavonex asked:
    Did you set any restrictions on the iPod?
    Settings>General>Restrictions>Installing Apps
    Have you successfully synced from the iTunes library before?
    Yu said: "it says 'will install' but it wont." what says "will install" Just what happens?

  • Ipod Touch 5th Generation overheated now wont turn on

    I have the ipod touch 5th generation. When I charge my ipod i always leave it alone and often have a battery app open. Today however when I was charging my ipod it overheated and now won't turn on. I have left it and it has completely cooled down but still wont do anything. Please help me if you have any idea on what to do. I have tried to restart it and put it into recovery but it wont do anything. when i connect it to the computer it doesn''t show up in itunes or in my computer and nothing will come up on the screen of the ipod. I don't have an apple store near me so would be happy for any advice that could help.

    Try the remaining actions of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    However, I suspect a hardware problem based on the heating and the Genius Bar is very likely required. If you iPod is defective and not abused you will walk out with a replacement.

  • I can't use my ipod touch 5th generation on my imac G5, needs itunes version 10.7  Where can I get that?

    My imac G5 is old, but still works beautifully!  I just bought the ipod touch, 5th generation and itunes wants a version (10.7) that I cannot get on their site!  Any ideas? I tried hooking the ipod up to the ipad (2nd), but I get no reaction whatsoever!  Do I have to return this ipod?

    iTunes 10.7 requires an Intel Mac and isn't compatible with yours.

  • I have an ipod touch 5th generation, bought a new laptop and authorised it. when i try to sync it says it's not possible because there isn't enough space to hold everything in the itunes library.it won't give me the option of choosing what i want to sync.

    I have an ipod touch 5th generation 64g . Just bought a new laptop and authorised it to use itunes library. When i try and sync my ipod it says it can't do it because there isn't enough space on my ipod to hold everything in the itunes library. I already know that i can't fit everything on my ipod but when using my old laptop i was able to choose what i wanted to sync. Now i don't seem to have the option of choosing what i can sync, it just refuses to do it as there isn't enough space. Why is this???

    Hello, peppertwist. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    When receiving the not enough space alert, he is the best article to go through.

  • Full automatic Itunes synchronization impossible for a brand new Ipod touch 5th generation

    Hey all,
    I bought a brand new Ipod Touch 5th generation which won't synchronize my whole music library through Itunes (very latest version of the app).
    The ipod runs IOS8 and the mac mini runs Yosemite latest version.
    I already had issue synchronizing music the very 1st day I had the Ipod touch. As a result, went back to the Apple store for changing it for another device, thinking the Ipod was faulty, which Apple accepted and changed my device for a brand new one.
    Since then, still unable to synchronize the full music library through itunes. I performed several full resets both on the mac mini and of the Ipod touch with no success. The synchronization seems to run fully normally with no warning pop up saying it failed or whatsoever and the sync process is very very long. But once done, my Ipod remains empty with no data at all.
    The weird thing is that Photos are fully synchronized with no issue at all.
    I contacted the Apple assistance who argued that my music library might be faulty and have corrupted files in it. So I cleaned it up, suppressing some files I had in double etc.
    BUT still, no success, I had to go through the entire library to sync manually, but even then, I was able to have on the device, only half of the library, i.e. around 25 go. once the ipod display 25 to 30 gb remaining, it won't sync no more files.
    Although I cleaned up the entire library and reset both devices hundreds of times, I have no clue why even manually, I'm completely unable to have my whole library automatically sync.
    I spent hours on the phone with Apple assistance to get some help with no success so far. I even re-installed Itunes completely, still without any result at all.
    I was only able to upload on the Ipod only half of the music library, and there are still 25 to 30 GB space remaining on the ipod and 20GB of music to be uploaded.
    The automatic sync process always fails any time I try to run it, except for the photos, books etc.
    I must say I also have an 160 GB Ipod classic with which I never had any problem so far, and which fully sync my whole library with no issue at all.
    I read on the internet that some other users of IOS8 are accountering the same issue with itunes.
    COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP, I'M DESPERATE, given the price of the Ipod I really do regret I bought something that does not work properly. Quite disappointed

    Yes the system just keep sync as everything is normal, but then no song is actually uploaded to the ipod.
    And the remaining space bar shows the ipod's empty.
    the automated process will just keep sync as if normal and the last step saying 'applying the modifications" just keep going on and never ends.
    I was only able to upload manually half of the albums, all songs comes from different sources; ripped from CD for great part, but also downloaded from the internet from trusted websites.
    All songs play normally through Itunes on the Mac Mini.
    But then when trying to sync the whole library automatically, nothing happens and I only get tags of the different albums, as if there, but actually it won't play none and the Ipod player just keep skipping as if no musical data is there.
