New iPod Touch, won't sync purchased songs from iTunes library on new "authorized" laptop.

I must have missed a step. My old windows laptop died. Tried syncing iTunes library from old laptop to new iPod touch. Didn't work. Downloaded iTunes to new windows laptop. Logged into iTunes from new laptop and Authorized new windows laptop. Uploaded a few CDs into new laptop's iTunes library. Old purchased songs appeared on new laptop, however only uploaded songs from CDs will sync to new iPod touch.
Help!

30 GB Video iPOD won't sync purchased songs from iTUNES.

Previously, on the same computer, I have synced purchased songs from my Itunes library to my iPOD. Now, suddenly, an error message says that I'm not authorized to do so. I use my computer in two countries, the US and Taiwan, and wonder if this has anything to do with the problem. I've already restored the Ipod and reloaded all the songs. The purchased songs still appear in my library but will not sync.

Have you tried Deauthorizing then Authorizing your computer through the Store menu in iTunes?

New ipod won't sync purchased music from itunes library

I just purchased a new ipod and when I try to sync my library it will not transfer any purchased songs that are in my library. All the songs are checked and I selected sync all music.

Do these purchased tracks play in iTunes? What other options do you have enabled from under the Summary and Music tabs for your iPod? Are you saying non-iTunes purchased tracks sync okay?

New iPod Touch won't sync reminders

New iPod Touch - iCloud not syncing contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks. Restarting apps or device does not help.

Are you trying to sync these with another iOS device? If so, are you signed into the same iCloud account in Settings>iCloud?
Also, did you check icloud.com from your computer to see if your data is there?

I just bought a new iphone, how do i get my songs from itunes onto the new phone?

i just bought a new iphone, how do i get my songs fron itunes onto the new phone? when i log into itunes, none of my songs are there...

Are you saying your iTunes doesn not have your songs? If not, where would they be? If on an older iphone, then they should have gotten there via itunes and itunes has them.

IPod touch won't sync all songs in playlist

My son bought a brand-new iPod touch yesterday. He has been trying to compile his playlist and sync it to the new iPod. He has 41 songs on his playlist and only 22 of them will sync. They are all in the iTunes library and the iPod library, but not on the playlist. We tried changing Settings>Music>Group by Album Artist>Off, and that doesn't work. We've also created new playlists and tried syncing those, and that doesn't work either. Today, I noticed that my iPod Touch is doing the very same thing. We have the most recent software and many of the songs were purchased directly through iTunes.
Any thoughts? We've had my son's iPod for 2 days and there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I am paying Apple support for help on something that seems to be an inbred error on their part.
Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem as well and tried so many of these solutions, but no luck. I just got a new laptop with windows 8 and when I hooked my iTouch4 to my computer it only show 36 songs out of 509 of the ones I have on my iTouch. (I was freaking out because I thought windows 8 had something to do with it, but as usual I was being paranoid )
I found a way to put the rest of my music on my USB and hooked it to my laptop and put that music in a separate folder. I had all of them play onto iTunes. Now they all worked on iTunes, but I realized they didn't really sync onto my iTouch. To test it out a bought a new song on iTunes and clicked "sync" onto my iTouch, but nothing happened.
So I started searching for answers, but none of the methods solved my problem. So I started messing around with it and realized that the problem was ACTUALLY A SIMPLE SOLUTION.
So this is what I did...
1) Start playing one of the songs that won't sync to your iTouch4
(don't know how to sync all songs at once yet)
2) Now right click at the top bar of iTunes where it shows the song playing
right click on album picture
3) Then scroll to "Add to Playlist"
the arrow of "Add to Playlist" will show a list of your own playlists and the name of your iPod
4) Click on the name of your iPod Ex) Robert's iPod
5) Then (you can stop playing song at this point) click on iPod device
This should right away take you to "Summary"
6) Instead of being on "Summary" look for "On This iPod" - Click it
7) Now "On This iPod" show a list of all the music that is currently on your iTouch
(including the song you just added from iTunes by following these steps)
8) Make sure all the songs you want in the list have been marked with a "check mark"
9) Then click "sync"
Check iTouch to see if song downloaded...
*If not then - still on "On This iPod" - click on "Autofill"
(Wait for it to load)
Now click "sync"
You should now have the songs on your iTouch as well!
It's a simple solution, but I haven't seen anyone advicing it and I wish they had so I didn't have to go through all this trouble
Hopefully this helps!!!

Why will my brand new iPod touch allow me to purchase songs but not download them?

Can someone tell me why my new iPod touch is allowing me to buy songs but not downloading the songs currently being purchased? The new songs actually show up on my iPad but not my iPod which is the device they were purchased on.

Try configuring your iCloud sync settings for music across devices, also go to the iTunes app hit more, then purchased and then hit the download button

My new iPod touch won't sync?

I got a brand new iPod touch today for Christmas, and got it all set up and everything was working perfectly. About an hour ago though I went to add more photos to the album I have synced to my iPod. When I plugged the iPod in it said "Waiting for sync to start" up at the top for about 5 minutes, then a screen popped up that said, "Amy's iPod cannot be synced because the sync session won't start" or something to that effect. No biggy I thought, I googled how to fix it and a discussion on here suggested a backup and restore. Now sense I've done that, all my music is off my iPod and I can't put any songs on because it won't sync. Can anyone help me fix this problem? Thanks in advance!!

Something similar to this?

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:

or

If not what did the message say?

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

New Ipod touch won't sync with window's vista/itunes 9.2 - help!!

I charged my brand new ipod touch via my computer, have it plugged it into my computer's USB port, and Itunes acknowledges the device in the left hand menu BUT it automatically says "itunes could not connect to the itunes store. The network connection has timed out". The ipod will not sync with my itunes! I tried connection/disconnecting, turning the ipod on and off, and restarting the computer. No luck. What do I need to do? Please help, I was so excited to get the new ipod and now I can't use it! I have window's vista and I don't know anything about how to check or change computer settings that might be preventing the store from opening (it used to open, but I haven't tried in a while and I just downloaded version 9.2 today).

New iPod Touch won't sync to new Macbook Pro?

I'm getting really frustrated because Wednesday a brand new Macbook Pro and today I got a brand new iPod Touch. I connect it to my computer and it chimes, shows that it's charging, but doesn't show in itunes. The screen on my iPod is the "connect to iTunes" screen. I've tried restarting the iPod & computer, connecting & reconnecting the USB cable, switching ports, etc. I really don't understand why two new devices don't work together. Any help??

Which version of iTunes does your new MacBook have? You will probably want to update it if it isn't 9.2. Do that first. Also, restart your MacBook book. That will make sure that everything else is working properly as well (I'm thinking USB ports).
If your touch is still not recognized, you will need to make sure that Apple Mobile Device Services is running properly on the MacBook. See this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
And if you are close to an Apple store and tired of playing with it, make an appointment with Genius and take your MacBook and touch in and let Apple fix it.
