New iPod Touch 5g - but can't sync

With my 4g Touch, I can insert the cable in the sync port, and it would me to iTunes. Then, I'd sync my device. Simple enough.
My new iPod Touch 5g seems to work fine. However, when I get to the point in the setup when I insert the Lightning connector, there's no connection to iTunes. It's almost as if the Lightning connector isn't recognized.
Am I missing something? Is there some procedure I need to do? I'm planning to visit the Apple Store, but I wanted to check here in case it's not a faulty cable.

No i downloaded the latest version to day 11.0.1.12
I also tried to use an old cable (30 pins) with an adapter for lightning.
When i first started the ipad i sett it up for i cloud. But when i could not link the pad and the computer.
I deleted everything on the ipad and satt it up with out icloud.
Now when i start the appstore i can se my programs with an i cloud symbol.
So i think it also can be something with the set up. Perhaps i could not get rid off i cloud an that is some how blocking for normal syncking??????

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

I have a new iPod Touch, so how can I deauthorise my "old" iPod Touch before giving it to my brother or husband?

Thank you.

Are you just trying to deauthorize it from your iTunes account, or do you want to totally erase it?
Your iPod touch is not actually authorized to anything other than the computer you sync it with; it is not authorized with the iTunes store the way your computer is. Giving your iPod to someone else won't give them your store info. Once they plug it into their own iTunes, it will force them to erase the whole thing in order to sync it with their own computer.
If you want to wipe the thing clean before giving it to them, plug it into your computer and choose the option to Restore it. (Or on the device itself, to go Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.)

Just what are you trying to do with the photos?
If the photos on the old iPod are in the iPod's camera Roll album then import them to your computer:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
If they were synced to the iPod from another computer then you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView to import then into your computer.
Here is how to sync photos to the iPod:

I am trying to update an Ipod Touch 3G but can't find the find uploads in the general settings.

I am trying to update the software on an Ipod Touch 3G but can't find software updates in the generral settings.

What is the firmware of the iPod touch you're updating right now? If it's not 5.x, then you cannot, because that was a primary feature of 5.0 (the mobile software updates). Then, you would have to update the software using your computer and iTunes

New iPod Touch 32gb stalls after starting sync, error 54, manual synce gets dumped

I just got this thing at Walmart last Sunday and its been driving me nuts all week! It's the brand new iPod Touch 32gb 4gen. When trying to sync it will start to load music then stall. Sometimes it gives error code 54, sometimes says it cant convert song, cant find song, or just stalls. If I wait anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour it will finally un-freeze and dump everything or say the connection has timed out. I've ran repair on iTunes from control panel, no help. Un-installed iTunes and re-installed it then tried synce, no help. I un-selected everything in the iPod summary so that it wont try to synce when I connect it and selected manual synce. Then I could sync a few songs at a time, but it still stalls after only loading a few songs on iPod. Tried dumping everything out of the ipod and start over, several times, no help. I've been 6 days, all day, every day, and half the nights getting a few songs at a time on this dam thing. I found when it stalls if I turn the iPod off to force it out of iTunes I can then restart iTunes, reconnect the iPod, manually select 15 to 20 songs and drag them to the iPod. A few times I got over a hundred to sync but usually 20 to 30 songs then it stalls. Then I have to do the whole thing over again. I had a little over 1200 songs out of the 1877 songs, 11.28gb, in my music library when the last time it stalled, it dumped everything. 4 or 5 days of manually syncing a few songs at a time, GONE. Just poof, all that work for nothing. The only thing left on it is 92 of the hundred something songs I've bought from iTunes. I'm ready to take a hammer to the dam thing and send it back to Walmart where I got it.
I'm using a Dell Studio 17 inch laptop that's about 4 yrs old running Windows 7 that I installed 2 years ago. I had a iPod nano 2gb that worked fine with this computer & iTunes untill it died last spring.
Why do you have it set up so that one little hickup and the dam thing dumps everything thats on it? I cant even stop it from starting to sync when I connect it because I need to see the settings in the summary for the iPod to change the settings, but I cant see that until I connect it, but as soon as I connect it, it try's to start the sync and stalls feezing everything.
Can anybody help me before this thing drives me completely over the edge!?
The ColoradoHermit

I have a older Dell Optiplex desktop computer running Windows XP. I copied the iTunes folder on my laptop to an external drive and plugged that into my desktop computer. Then connected the iPod Touch to the desktop. For some reason or other the computer thought the iPod was a camera and wanted to know which photo program to open with or for it. I never did get iTunes on my desktop computer to "see" the iPod and had to give up that idea.
When going into the My Computer or Windows Explorer - which is the one I like to use for working with my files- when I connect the iPod to my computer in Windows Explorer it will show the iPod. Open that and it shows Internal Storage, open that and a folder with DCIM shows below it, open that and a folder with 860OKMZO on it shows below that, open that and it has the 40 or 50 photos I saved from Facebook. That's it, there isn't anything else shown in its storage. The iTunes on my old Desktop doesn't see the iPod Touch either.
Even if the iTunes on my old desktop would work with this iPod Touch it wouldn't do me any good. I read in a post that once it is connected to a iTunes Library, if its connected to any other iTunes Library on a different computer it will dump everything that's on it. Which is totally stupid but I think they - iTunes - have it that way so that you cant share your music with somebody elses computer. But that also makes it so I cant manually sync one thing at a time with my own iTunes Library. I tried syncing my music first and after I got some of it on the iPod, in its summary I deselected the music sync and selected the movies or video's so I could manually synce a few to it to see if it would work. Bad move. As soon as I did that it dumped everything that was on it, then said that it could not sync the movies because the files could not be written. HUH? Why a video from YouTube could not be written beats me. But why did it dump all the music?
The last thing I did with it was put all the options in the summary in iTunes back to default, removed everything on the iPod that was left after its last dump, then disconnected it, closed iTunes, and rebooted my laptop and started over from scratch. Started iTunes, connected the iPod, after iTunes found it I opened the iPod summary, made sure everything except sync photo's was selected, then started the sync function. It immediately listed all the songs and the songs info in light gray under music on the iPod. It only got 2 songs copied, then stalled. I just left it alone to see what it would do. I opened the Windows Task Manager to see what it was doing. Even though the iTunes program appered to be stalled it was using 50% of the CPU. After about 15 minutes it showed a popup window saying the song could not be writen then another saying its connection to the iPod had timed out, then iTunes stalled and "not responding" showed in task manager and at the top of the iTunes window. After 30 minutes I had to force it to close with the Task Manager. By then it was after midnight and had been another 12 hours wasted messing with this thing.

My new iPod touch says it can't find any of my music?

I just go a new iPod touch 5g and when I downloaded the newest iTunes software, and I uploaded all my music onto iTunes, I plugged in my new iPod. When I clicked the "sync" button it started to sync all of my music. After a few seconds a couple pop-ups windows came up telling me that it could find NONE of my music. Then it stopped syncing, and didn't load any of my music onto the iPod. I have no idea what went wrong, but can someone PLEASE help?

I think I found the problem. I moved the music from my Mac to my windows computer using a USB drive and when i unplugged the USB drive, it said it couldn't find any of the music. but after i plugged it back in, it seems to have worked.

My brand new iPod Touch 4th generation will not sync with iTunes on my Windows Vista computer! Please help!

I have tried every trick in the book and read every thread on why my version of Windows Vista will not allow me to get at the iTunes Store. I cannot even get this new iPod Touch to sync with iTunes.
I've rebooted, soft restart, hard restart, removed iTunes and re-installed iTunes. Nada...nothing!
Does anyone else have the same issue and can they offer me a solution?

New ipod touch charges but doesnt display how much it has charged

I recently got a new ipod touch and it charges fine and everything, but when i switch it off and charge it it doesnt display how much it has charged (Although it does charge it) and sometimes if my ipod is switched off and i plug it into charge it swtiches it self on. Can anyone tell me if when it is switched off it is ment to display how much it has charged. Thanks

Just to make sure that I understood your last question, here's what the ipod is supposed to do:
If the ipod is switched completely off, it will not display anything, no matter if you push the home of sleep button. If you hold the sleep wake button for a longer time, the device will power up again, the same thing will happen if you plug in your switched off ipod into your charger or connect it to your computer via USB cable.
So, if switched off, the ipod can not display anything, not even a status bar for it's battery.
