IPod Touch wont sync with itunes

So every time i try to sync my ipod touch i get this error message
Attempting to copy to the disk "iPod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to.
i recently updated to software update 2.1 and ever since then i cant sync my music
What do i do?

Your profile states Mac OS X (10.4.8) - is that correct? If so, that's most likely your problem - the iPod Touch requires at least 10.4.10.

How come my ipod touch wont sync with itunes? it says an unexpected error occured

IPod touch wont sync with iTunes. Weird errors!

Anytime I try to sync anything to my iPod touch, I get one of the following error messages;
1.)Attempting to copy to the disk “Duncan’s iPod” failed. There are too many files open currently.
2.)The iPod “Duncan’s iPod cannot be synced. An internal device error occurred.
3.)iTunes could not copy “a song of mine” to the iPod “Duncan’s iPod” because an unknown error occurred [-42].
4.)The iPod “Duncan’s iPod” cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found.
5.)The app “various apps” could not be installed on the iPod “Duncan’s iPod” because an unknown error occurred (0xE8008001).
Most of the time, it's either the first or second error, but it changes pretty much every time.
I have tried restoring my iPod (that didn't work), erasing all content and settings on my iPod (that didn't work), even uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes (that didn't work, either!).
Any help, any help AT ALL would be appreciated.

by the looks of thing from what the second person said about using it on other computers it looks like it could be the version of itunes because there was a simuler problem when they brought the first itunes 10.1 out people had problems every where i have the same problem at the moment but i might have a temp fix to it till they fix this but wich is uninstalling itunes and installing an older virsion from filehippo.com hope this helps you i am going to give it a try my self

Ipod touch wont sync with nook since 5.0.1

Before the upgrade my touch would sync with the nook using the nook app and the nook would sync with the touch. Now it won't despite setting book marks or resyncing. My ipad still syncs both ways with no problems.

I found this Apple help topic that matches your problem description:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1207
Your profile lists 10.4.8 as your operating system; try updating to the latest release which is 10.4.11. I hope this helps & enjoy your iPod touch.

Ipod touch stopped syncing with itunes since ios 5 upgrade

Can someone PLEASE ADVISE ME!
I spent off and on 24 hours finally getting my ios 5 update on my ipod touch 4g. When i first upgraded itunes to 10.5, when I tried to upgrade to ios5 the udgrade kept crashing. Then my ipod stopped syncing with itunes. Im on a PC with windows 7 (64-bit). So I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. My ipod coninues to not sync. So, I finally reverted my ipod back to factory settings and then it took like 8 hours total for my ipod to revert, update to ios 5, and then resync my apps, music & vids and settings with itunes. I thought YES EVERYTHING IS GREAT. Starting using ios 5 and was loving it. Till, i wanted to resync with itunes to enable wifi syncing.
Now, everytime i plug in my ipod, it says Syncing my ipod (step 2 of 8) and the stripy thing is moving...and below that it ways Backing up
but then it just keeps saying this for hours. never moves beyond "step 2", So i end up having to open task manager and closing out itunes. Then when i reopen itunes it will freeze up. I uninstalled'reinstalled itunes now 4 times and the same thing happens...the sync never gets beyon step 2...backing up.
WHAT CAN I DO? please help! Desperate

ah now i see your reply in the thread. well, i am sorry yours wont tuen on or even get recognized. *** is going on with this stuff. i really love the ios5 but if i cant sync with itunes im screwed. i dont want to have to pay for more iCloud storage for backing up either!!!
I really hope someone can advise me. Cuz i fear I may have to try and revert back to factory and spend like 6 or 7 hours again trying to resync and re set up my ipod

My Ipod touch 2g wont sync with itunes and itunes wont close

Itunes wont recognise my Itouch (2nd gen, 16gb,ios 4.2.1) and wont sync. It occasionaly finds the ipod but doesnt sync and freezes whil displaying a rotating beachball symbol next to the device. It does not load from then and does not reach the itouch mangement screen (where you can sync, update,restore..) Occasionally when it does load up like normal or start to sync it gets stuck on syncing/verifing/backing up and gives the error iTunes was unable to load data class information from sync services' in which i am unable to attempt to reset sync history as itunes crasheswhen prefrences is clicked to open. While any of these proble occur itunes will not close properly (when the red x is pressed at the top right), i have to go through task manager.
I have :
windows 7 ultimate 64
Itunes 10.6.1.7
Itouch 2nd gen 16gb IOS 4.2.1
Thanks in advance

Ipod Touch Wont Sync to Itunes

Hey, so my ipod touch hasnt worked right with itunes for a while now, ive done a lot of things trying to get it to work but heres the issue. When i plug in my itouch, itunes doesnt do anything. Ive made sure the sync automatically setting is on, but that changes nothing. It doesnt even recognize my itouch, when i look to the sidebar on itunes it doesnt say "*insert name* ipod. So naturally the first thing i tried doing was using the itunes troubleshooter, but the instance i press the next button to start the process, it freezes itunes, which stops responding and closes. So next i tried to reinstall itunes. This actually does solve my issue, as when i put the ipod in immediately after it does sync, however the very next day it will not work again. I dont feel like reinstalling itunes every night to sync it. So now ive been looking on the internet for solutions, ive done many things that havent helped at all, i did all the things that the apple website says to do, and it didnt work still. Right now i really dont know who else to ask.

I had a similar problem to this and found out my mobile device service had not started properly. I found the following apple link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567 for restarting the service useful and my problem now seems to have disappeared.

IPod Touch Cannot Sync with iTunes

I just got back my iPod touch from an apple store, after i had a previous problem with it restoring but they fixed that problem. Now, when i try to sync my iPod with my itunes library i get tons of different error messages and it doesn't work. Sometimes i will get "The iPod "name of ipod" cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found". If I click ok to that message, I get another error message saying "The iPod "name of iPod" cannot be synced. A folder was specified instead of a file." If I try to manually drag songs onto my iPod in itunes, nothing happens at all. At other times when I try to Sync it, I get another error message saying -6999. Now it says The Device Timed Out.
Please help me :S
Also, if i click on like photos, movies or music tabs, it shows the music sign and "Canceling Sync" (on my ipod)

Now in an attempt to fix it, i attached the usb cable to the back of the computer, now i get an error message like this "The iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13014.
It seems every single error message is against me

3rd gen iPod Touch not syncing with iTunes 10.4.1 on Lion?

I've had a 3rd gen 64GB iPod Touch for almost two years now and I've only had one problem with syncing it before. I followed this (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1747) and it helped. But since I updated my MacBook Pro to Lion, this article no longer applies and iTunes hasn't recognized my iPod. My iPod does show up in iPhoto though. Everything is fully updated and I restored my iPod using another computer, but even after doing that my iPod isn't recognized in iTunes. Also, my iPod won't go into recovery mode. It shows the connect to iTunes screen but when I connect it, nothing happens. I've tried restarting my computer and my iPod many times and I've tried everything I know.
Now, since restoring, I have nothing on my iPod and I use it every day so any help would be appreciated.

I figured out how to show the hidden files, but even after doing that, the files weren't there. On the page that you showed me, it says "Note: These steps do not apply to OS X Lion" and since I am using Lion, it didn't work
