My iPod touch will not back up to iTunes.

I just got an iPhone 4, and I'm trying to get the data from my iPod touch onto it. For some reason, even though I've synced it many times over the year I had it, my iPod never got backed up to iTunes even though I told it to back up to computer. Is there something I'm missing?

1. Yes, there are no backups there or in the directory that is supposed to store them . Also, iTunes says "Last time backed up: Unknown".
2. No, I've been using this same user since I got the iPod. I logged in as a different user a few times but didn't open iTunes. The other user also does not have any device backups, nor has it synced with the iPod at all.

  • My 4th Generation iPod Touch Will Not Back-Up On iTunes

    My iPod Touch will not back up. I have the newest version of iTunes and my iPod Touch is running iOS 6 and sometimes it won't sync or even be recongnized as a device. iTunes says my last back up was on August 27th, and I've synced it multiple times since then. It is critical that I find a solution soon, because if the last backup was on the 27th, that means the software backed up is 5.1.1, and I'm selling my current iPod on eBay and it ships next week as I await the new iPod Touch and I need to restore from that backup! I cannot start as a new iPod Touch. Any solutions?

    Type " Apple Mobile Device service" into the search bar at the top of this screen next to "Support" and see if the resulting articles help.

  • My ipod touch will not back up with itunes and allow me to update to newest software

    I am having trouble getting my ipod touch to back up with itunes and allowing me to update to newest suftware.  It has been backing up for over 3 days and the status bar has not moved.

    Terminate the backup. Close iTunes and disconnect the iPod. Reboot the iPod. Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Ipod Touch will not turn on, recognize itunes and fully function.

    My Ipod Touch will not turn on, recognize itunes and fully function. When it does, once in a blue moon, after 5 minutes it freezes. I am wondering if its becuase battery was left dead for 2 weeks or problems with the iOS. Resetting does not help.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Try a Reset
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
    Turn the iPod On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

  • TS1717 ipod touch will not connect to the itunes store

    can some one tell my why the ipod touch will not connect to the itunes store - just says it can not connect.

    Hello, rumisha. 
    Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot the connection to the iTunes store you are experiencing on your iPod Touch.  Scroll to the section labeled Troubleshooting on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.  Attempt to connect to another wifi network to see if the issue persists as this could be the cause.

    Also, check the date and time.  I have attached a screen shot as this could cause an issue if not set correctly.

  • IPod Touch will not show up in iTunes...Please Help

    Here is what I know/can remember. My iPod has not worked in 3 months! Not sure at what point it stopped but it worked fine for a year. Now when I plug it in it charges just fine just will not show up in iTunes. Sometimes it shows up as an unknown device on my computer and in the hardware device section shows up as unknown device. Thats all I got. I have tried all kinds of troubleshooting. I have took each little peice off and then reinstalled numerous times. I have even restored my computer back to square one. Still not working! I want to cry. I just want to listen to my podcasts again. They are downloading into Itunes just can't get the Ipod Touch to show up in iTunes...willing to try anything! Please help if you can! I have a 16GB and use XP with SP3. I assume all my hardware is good to go since it worked before and it charges through the USB port!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    here are some general troubleshooting tips to go through, maybe you missed one suggestion. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495 They range from using the assistant up to USB driver installation, Apple Mobile Device Service and checking for available BIOS updates.

  • My iPod touch will not connect to the itunes app!

    Hi, my ipod touch(4th generation) will not connect to the itunes app, app store, or the internet. It is connected to my wifi and shows full bars with connectivity. However when I click on the itunes app it takes to a blank white screen and says it is loading. It stays on that screen for about 5 minutes and then a little blue box pops up and says unable to connect to itunes store. I don't understand this because I also have an Ipad 2 connected to the same wifi and that has no problem connecting to the itunes store or internet. So I don't understand why my iPad can get on itunes while my iPod can't, when they are on the same wifi connection. Can anyone please help me!!!

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Ipod touch will not show up in itunes after update 11.1.14.62

    After updating iTunes to 11.1.14.62 my 3 of my 4 devices will not show up in iTunes.  I have two iPod touch devices, an iPhone 4, and an old iPod Shuffle.  The only one that shows up is the iPod Shuffle.    Everything was fine until this latest update.  I've checked with other people and they're having the same issue.  I have Windows 8.1 64 bit.

  • Ipod touch will not sync after new itunes update

    Ipod touch 4th generation will not sync after I updated the new itunes. Actually after I updated to the new itunes it deleted all my music from my ipod and refuses to reload. If someone could please help me that would be completely appreciated. I tried trying to sync each song individually but it didn't help (before it stopped syncing), then it stopped syncing, even though I have it hooked up it brings everything that I have on my ipod up but it won't do anything.

    When I tried the first time it asked me if i wanted it to stop syncing and to restore. It gave the choices of yes and cancel, i didn't click either because the option box went away and it just stopped restoring on its own. I did the store again and now it is asking if i want to set up as a new ipod or to restore to Andrea's ipod. Should I set up as new?
    Thank you Espeon for the article

  • Help please.... My 3rd gen Ipod Touch will not sync up to Itunes....

    It keeps bringing up a window that is recognizing the Ipod as a camera and starting Camera wizard.  I followed the troubleshooting steps - I have the updated ITunes version, I have restarted, I have switched USB ports.... The last step is to reinstall Itunes, but I am afraid I will lose all of my recent music that I have uploaded from CDs (& spent hours doing!)

    Reinstalling iTunes will not do anything to your music/iTunes library. However, you should always backup your important files.

    I would remove and reinstall all the Apple software using:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or

  • New IPod Touch will not show up on iTunes

    Hello,
    I just purchased an iPod Touch for my son. When we turned it on, it asked to connect to iTunes. I then started iTunes and was told to update it, which I did, after which I connected the IPod. iTunes would not recognize the iPod Touch. We then uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, with the same problem. So effectively I now have a new iPod Touch in the first phase of getting it to work.
    I've checked the drivers, and they are fine
    I've checked the Apple services and they are running fine
    I've shut down nearly all programs that commence on startup, and the iPod will still not show up
    I've used all USB ports on my computer, still no response.
    I've rebooted the computer numerous times, it still does not show up.
    Thanks in advance for any advise that you can give.
    Is there a known problem with Vista???
