My Ipod Touch Is Not Syncing

My issue is primarily that I have spent the past week attempting different tips and tricks scattered throughout this site and have found nothing that works.
My iPod touch is recognized fine by my laptop, but iTunes does not notice it. The cable works fine because it still charges. Essentially, both the iPod and iTunes are not on speaking terms. I have wiped my laptop of iTunes at least 5 times and redownloaded it to no avail. I obviously cannot restore the iPod to factory settings if it will not be recognized digitally. And yes, I have turned everything involved off and on... repeatedly.
I use a Dell Inspiron with Windows 8, recently 8.1. I think that's the reason for my problem, either that or the iTunes update I finally allowed
I'm looking for someone who will either:
A) Actually walk me through what needs to be done rather than send me to a "helpful" site that requires ten hours of decifering. Or,
B) Tell me there is an update in the works that will hopefully resolve this issue.

Did you remove and reinstall all Apple software, not just iTunes?
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

  • My ipod touch is not syncing properly.

    My Ipod touch is not syncing properly.  I download podcasts and it will not allow me to delete some shows after they have been listened to.  It is a neverending cycle of deleting unwanted podcast episodes from itunes on the computer, plugging in my ipod, syncing, and then it always takes the already listened to episodes, and puts them back into itunes on the comp.  I then delete them on the comp again, sync the ipod, and it again pulls them over from the ipod.  I have it set up to only sync unlistened to episodes, and beyond that, only checked things, but it does not seem to matter.  The only thing I can do to get the episodes off the ipod for good is to do a factory reset, and that absolutely should not be necessary!  Any ideas for something I am not seeing that is allowing this to continually happen?  This just started happening a couple of months ago.  Not sure what changed, but would like it fixed!  Thanks for any ideas in advance!

    I have a similar problem, all since the ios update i think, my podcasts do not seem to sync, I have a song purchase via the ipod which no longer plays (just sits on the screen) this also doesnt sync back to itunes.
    Its a complete mess. Seems everytime Apple push out an update my ipod becomes less useable.

  • Ipod Touch will not sync with Itunes 12.1.1.4 64 bit

    I have recently updated itunes and on the back of doing so my Ipod touch will not sync my library. The Ipod itself is a couple of years old but using iOS 6.1.6.
    I have deleted and re-installed Itunes. I have wiped my Ipod to start again. I have set it to sync over Wi-fi and nothing has worked. I physically plug the Ipod in and it gets detected. If I change a setting and click apply it briefly says syncing and then nothing.
    I have set automatically download Itunes songs etc etc etc and absolutely nothing seems to get it to sync!
    Help!

    You said " If I change a setting and click apply it briefly says syncing and then nothing.".
    How many steps are completed? What is listed in the status bar of iTunes when it stops?

  • Ipod Touch will not sync with home iMac but can with other macs

    Is there a toggle or setting that needs to be changed.
    I've looked but no joy.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • My new ipod touch will not sync to my dlink.

    My new Ipod touch will not sync to my dlink.  My two laptops, and Ipad are already on.  I have tried resetting and still it will not sync.

    What happens when you try to connect to the Wi-Fi? Any error messages? Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, work through the remaining troubleshooting suggestions in this Apple support document.

    Why would you do that?

    What does this mean?

  • Appointments made yesterday on iPod Touch calendar not syncing to iCal

    I have been using my iPod calendar as the main source for all of my appointments. Periodically, I back that info up by syncing it (via iTunes) with iCal on my Mac Mini. Yesterday (12/29), I entered approximately 100 events into my iPod calendar, and when I synced the iPod with iCal on the Mini today, none of those events were copied onto iCal. I have repeatedly attempted to sync, but to no avail. However, events created on the iPod calendar previous to yesterday effectively synced, and events made today also sync. It would figure that I set all the events for 2010, and those are the ones that don't sync. Now, if I manually re-enter everything in iCal, I am worried that when I next sync with the iPod, the iCal dates would be removed, as it seems syncing doesn't recognize dates that I entered into the iPod calendar on 12/29. So, (1) is there any way that I can get the dates entered on 12/29 into my iPod calendar to automatically be entered on iCal on the Mac Mini? and (2) how do I safeguard my info on the iPod and iCal so that I don't lose anything in any syncing process? (P.S. I don't subscribe to Mobile Me.)

    Having exact problem. iPod touch events not syncing with Mac Mini/iCal. I think I'm having some of the reverse problem. No MobileME account. Just starting grad school and it has caused some severe headaches.

    Make sure you are entering the events on your iPod in the iCloud calendar and not something else such as On My iPod.  Check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) to be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default.
