You can't sync without a backup taken.
Try to delete the ipod backup, it seems that iTunes can't read it anymore. Before you do, make sure to back up the folder, in case you need it again.
The folder where your backup data is stored changes depending on the computer's operating system. Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device, you should ensure the backup folder is included in your periodic data backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.
copied from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
After you backed up the folder, delete the backup from the list in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
Then try again to sync.

  • TS1389 I am trying to authorise a new computer. The Apple instructions are to select Authorise this computer from the itunes store menu. I can't find this in any menu. Can you please help? How do I authorise my computer?

    I am trying to authorise a new computer. Apple's instructions are to select "Authorise this computer" from the itunes store menu. I can't find this in any menu. Can you please help? How do I authorise my computer?

    Authorization and Deauthorization
    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

    Hi,
    PIX501 is a very very old Cisco firewall that has not been sold for a long time to my understanding. It also doesnt support even close to new software levels.
    If you wanted to replace the PIX501 the corresponding model nowadays would be ASA5505 which is the smallest Cisco ASA firewall with 8 switch port module. There is already a new ASA5500-X Series (while ASA5505 is of the original ASA 5500 Series) but they have not yet introduced a replacing model for this model nor have they stopped selling this unit. I have a couple of them at home. Though naturally they are more expensive than your usual consumer firewalls.
    But if you wanted to replace your PIX firewall then I would probably suggest ASA5505. Naturally you could get some other models too but the cost naturally rises even more. I am not sure at what price these are sold as used.
    I used some PIX501 firewalls at the start of my career but have not used them in ages since ASA5505 is pretty much the firewall model we use when we need a firewall/vpn device for a smaller network/branch site.
    Here is a PDF of the original ASA5500 Series.

    I am afraid that its very hard for me atleast to troubleshoot this especially since I have not seen any outputs yet. Also the very old CLI and lack of GUI (?) make it harder to see what the problem is.
    Could you provide the requested outputs?

  • IPod touch 5 is charged. Won't turn on. Plugged into computer with two different cords. They both work with my iPad. My home button is also jammed. Please help!

    I used my iPod yesterday, and it was charged. I put it on the floor, and took it into my room before I went to bed. I wanted to check what I missed while I wasn't using it, but it was "off". I put it on the charger, and it should've been charged up by morning. It still didn't turn on. I tried plugging it into my iMac, but nothing happens when I plugo in my iPod, but works with my iPad. My home button is also jammed, and I've tried to get it To work again, but I've had no luck.
    Is there something I can do to turn my iPod on again?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

    i have an iPod which is disabled what should i do its neither restoring nor its back uping and i dont even have find my ipod thing please help

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    Hi Somehunk,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The first thing I would suggest is to quit the iTunes Store app and sign out of your iTunes Store account on your iPhone.
    Then restart / reset the device.
    When you sign back in, you should be able to re-initiate the download.
    The following articles will explain these steps in more detail:

  • My iphone 3GS went black..how do I get it working again?  Charging and shut off no response...?  Help

    Please Help

    If this happened to you after you updated to iOS 5.X you may need to hold the Home and Sleep buttons down for 60 seconds or more.  This happened on my wife's brand new iPhone 4S and the only thing that woke it up was to hold the buttons down for more than a minute.  Not sure what causes this, but it only happened the one time.
    Good Luck.  If this doesn't work you may need to take it to the Genius Bar at your local Apple store, assuming you have one close by.
