My iPod touch wouldn't sync to my iTunes......

So I restarted both my MacBook and iPod, and all that happened was I lost all of my songs and videos on my iPod, but everything else is still there. Then when I tried to hook it back up to the Mac to get my backup, but it kept crashing.. like, it'd sync, then disconnect, sync, disconnect. I don't know why it's doing this, and I pretty much use my iPod everywhere that I go. I don't live anywhere remotely closs to a Mac Store, so I can't take it there.
Help ? /:

What iPod do you have? I have a touch 2g and it won't sync to my MacBook Pro either! I upgraded my iPad to iOS 5 (it works and syncs fine), but my Touch just causes iTunes to freeze when I plug it in

  • Ipod Touch won't sync after updating iTunes

    I updated my iTunes and now my ipod touch will not sync, it says that the ipod is synced with another iTunes library when it is not, is there a way to get it to sync?

    With all the synced media like apps and music in your iTunes library do the following:
    - Make a backup in iTunes by:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. The above link includes that restore from backup instructions.
    Somehow updating iTunes caused iTunes/iPod to think it was not synced to this library. That happens sometimes.

  • New ipod touch won't sync with my iTunes

    I am old time iTunes user who just got new Ipod touch. It starts to sync but at last step message is "Waiting for next stage" or something and it won't sync.  I tried everything I can think of. I have lastes iTunes version. My old ipod still updates and syncs works fine. 

    Maybe this:
    "Waiting for changes to be applied": Apple Support Communities
    or
    'waiting for items to...: Apple Support Communities
    If not what did the message say?

  • 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

  • IPod Touch no longer syncs wirelessly with iTunes

    My 4th gen iPod Touch (IOS 5.1) has been syncing wirelessly with iTunes on my Mac for months without a problem.
    Suddenly, the iPod no longer appears in the "Devices" area of iTunes, as it always has.
    "Sync using wireless" is enabled in iTunes
    iPod Touch is still connected to my wireless network, and has connectivity
    Macbook is connected to my wireless network, and has connectivity (Macbook unibody OS X 10.7.3)
    iPod Touch is plugged into an external Apple charger.
    If I connect the iPod Touch to the Macbook, then disconnect the cable, the iPod immediately disappears from the "Devices" listing.
    In the past it has always remained listed as a Device there.
    I am now unable to sync wirelessly. Ideas?

    - Try resetting 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.
    - And rebooting the computer

  • 3rd gen Ipod Touch won't sync/show in Itunes after 10.4.08 update

    On Saturday (7/30) I updated to ITunes 10.4.08 and updated to 4.3.5 (8L1) on my touch. It worked fine and synced properly after it d/l'd. Later in the day I plugged my Touch back into my computer and it wouldn't sync or show in ITunes. No error's or anything, just wont show and Touch is working as it should. All my USB ports are working fine and are charging my Touch. I've uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes two more times since then only to have the same problems happen. It will sync and show once, but after I disconnect and then reconnect, it will not show/sync again.If someone can help it would be greatly appreciated!!

    Small update.....I took my Touch to the Genius Bar yesterday, told them about the issue and they just gave me a new Touch. That's awesome and all, but I still have the problem. I guess it's on my computers end but what I don't understand is why does it work once, then never again?? Help?!?!?

    Have you Authorised your Computer...
    Open iTunes and from the Menu Bar select Store...
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).

  • IPod touch wouldn't get detected by iTunes

    After the patch to 7.6 on iTunes i also patch my Ipod Touch to 1.1.3 BUt after that i notice that my iTouch doesn't always get detected by the iTunes when i plug it in to my USB port. Now it becomes such that iTunes doesn't detect it at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and do some reading on topics posted on problems with syncing but I still can get my Itouch detected.
    Ran iTune Connectivity Test and shows everything is working well. All my USB drivers are up to date and working fine, i can plug in a Flash drive in the same USB port i use and the flash drive shows up on my computer. I even got a 2nd cable but the problem persists.

  • Ipod Touch won't sync since recent iTunes upgrade

    When i try to add songs (not purchased through itunes although I dont know if this is relevant) to my ipod touch they show in itunes under my device however they do not seem to copy to the ipod. Say I add and album then add another the first album gets erased from the ipod and only the most recent files copied remain on the ipod however they all still show as existing on the ipod within itunes, The same thing happens to my ipad and it only seems to have happened since I last upgraded itunes. Both devices have been set to manually manage music and videos so I'm at a loss as to why this is happening,
    has anyone got any ideas as I have tried to get hold of older versions of itunes from Apple - Support - Downloads however they report an error when installing (doesnt say what error)

  • Latest ipod touch doesn't sync with my itunes

    I had an ipod touch 1st gen, after updating it, it failed to sync with my itunes which was updated to the latest version at the time that is about 6 months ago (June 2010), then finally my itunes stopped working and would not open, until one of the users advised me to disable the bonjour service and that was the only way I got to open my itunes, however still could not sync it to my ipod since then.
    Recently, I bought the latest itouch Jan 2011, I thought it will fix the issue, however again it did not sync with my itunes (latest version)! I followed many advices on the discussions with regards of uninstalling and reinstalling the itunes and manually running the exe file and extracting the file then upating the ipod drive. When on my last attempt to reinstall itunes it erased more than 70% of my songs, I used to have over 5000 songs, now they are 1515 songs only!
    So I lost my songs, cannot use my new ipod touch and my old one got lost too!
    I really need serious HELP!

    If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • My ipod touch is not syncing with my itunes library

    Hi
    My problem started the other day, everything was going fine, I added 22 new songs to my itunes library, when i tried to sync this with my ipod to add the songs to the device, it did indeed add the songs however it deleted every other song on there. I've tried manually adding the other songs back but it won't let me get the previous songs on there regardless of what i try.
    Anyone got any idea why it would be doing this?
    Thanks

    You're right, I was syncing to another computer. I appreciate your help, but these directions for an iPhone don't appear to line up with any screens I have on my iPod or laptop.
    I have my stuff in the library safe, and there's nothing in there that I would miss if I lose it.
    I don't see any commands or menus that match my iPod or computer after step 3.
    Thanks

  • 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.
    iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
    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
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
