  • Ipod touch won't sync to itunes with OS X 10.6.3 I just installed

    I just installed OS X 10.6.3 (snow leopard) and now my ipod touch is not syncing to itunes. Any ideas why?

    Is your problem that you do not see your iPod in iTunes? If that is the case try these:

    Also, make sure you update to the latest iTunes and Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard is now up to 10.6.5 and you said you only have 10.6.3.

  • Ipod touch won't sync with itunes, only iphoto after snow leopard update upgrade

    Have just put snow leopard onto my mac book 4.1. Can't get my ipod touch 5.1.1 to sync with itunes. It syncs with iphoto every time, but no device comes up in itunes or in finder. I have the latest software updates on both mac & touch. Any ideas?

  • New iPod Touch won't sync with iTunes as iTunes hangs

    Hello,
    I got a new iPod Touch yesterday after my old iPod Video died. Brought it home, connected it and all seemed fine until iTunes (that had worked flawlessly for years) just stopped (app stops responding).
    I can kill the app and restart and it just starts over again, but never gets all the way thru sync.
    I looked for a newer version but says I've got the latest.
    Any suggestions? Don't suppose I can sync via WiFi?
    thanks,
    Chris

    Hey Chris, I got this off iPhonenano.net
    Occasionally your iPhone or iPod touch starts syncing when you connected it to your Mac only to drop out of the sync process. Even worse, once the cycle stops, it continues every time you plug your handheld in. This fix is fairly easy, but you won't find it in iTunes. You'll know know if you are suffering from this little headache because your iPhone or iPod touch will begin the sync process, but stops unexpectedly. iTunes will display a dialog warning you that your handheld stopped communicating and the sync process was cancelled. Here's how to break the cycle so and sync as normal again:
    Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your Mac/Pc
    After the sync process fails, launch iSync. You can find it in your Applications folder.
    Select iSync > Preferences.
    Click the Reset Sync History button.
    iSync will display a dialog explaining what happens when you reset the sync history. Go ahead and click the second Reset Sync History button.
    Quit iSync.
    Now you should be able to sync your iPhone or iPod touch again without any hassles. Since your sync history has been reset, your first post-rest sync may take longer than you expect. Depending on how much information is stored on your handheld, that could be a few extra seconds or several minutes.
    Hope this helps,
    Arnie

  • Ipod touch won't sync on laptop but different ipod will sync

    I'm having some issues trying to sync my wife's ipod touch.  She's had it for a couple years and we haven't had any issues with it before.  She purchased a couple songs recently and when we connected the ipod a message came up saying there was a software update available for the ipod so we downloaded the update.  After we did that her ipod will charge when we connect it but it won't register that it's connected so we can't sync it.  Sometimes an error message will pop up saying something about not being able to connect.
    I have searched online and tried everything suggested but nothing works.  I downloaded the latest itunes update, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, tried a different usb cable and different usb port and non of that worked.  I even hooked up my ipod nano to see if it was a computer issue or ipod issue, my ipod syncd perfectly fine so it's gotta be a problem with her ipod.
    I've also restarted the ipod, nothing will get it to sync.  The ipod will still work and I've thought about trying to sync it to our my laptop but if I do that then I risk her losing all of her music on her ipod and being stuck with mine if we can't get it to sync with her computer.
    I'm all out of ideas, anyone encounter this problem?  Also if I bring it into the Apple Store is there anything they can do to try and fix it?
    Thank you.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • HT1386 4th gen iPod touch won't sync to iTunes

    I connected it to add recently downloaded songs to my iPod. Itunes said it couldn't recognize the device and that I had to restore it, so I did. It wiped everything clean, but now it won't sync my music or photos onto it. I press "sync" and iTunes says it is going through the process, but nothing changes on the iPod. Both iTunes and the iPod are up to date, I have tried multiple USB cords. I don't know what else to do.

  • Ipod Touch Won't Sync To Itunes

    Here's my story. Please let me know if you can help.
    I purchased a 4th generation Ipod Touch, I plugged it into my computer and It said I needed the version 10.5. or later, so I went and purchased the new version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3.
    I installed it, and I updated my itunes, and my internet browser I updated safari, it told me I had to restart my computer once it was finished, so once it finished I pressed restart. While that was downloading I had my Ipod plugged into my computer and it was working in itunes, I was putting music onto it. But once safari finished It restarted my computer, then once it turned back on my internet wouldnt work, I have been having troubles with my internet in my room, not sure why because my wireless internet is just in the other room. But it is working now, but I don't know how long it will work. Anyways, so I clicked on itunes and plugged my ipod back in and nothing happens. It doesn't come up in itunes at all. I am not sure why this is happeneing because It just worked, before I re started my computer. Is there a way to fix this? Someone please write me back! HELP ME PLEASE!

    I am having the same problem, My iPod has worked with iTunes for ages, now all of a sudden iTunes wont recognise that there is a device plugged in. My iPod comes up with a "charging" sign, so it's not the USB connection, i have tried restarting my computer and iPod and i have even re-installed iTunes and it still isnt working. Any ideas?
