Snow Leopard & iPod touch

Hi, I installed Snow Leopard now my computer is running very slow and does not recognize my ipod touch. Any advice?

Reinstall iTunes, that solved the problem in previous cases.
If that does not help, see this support article

  • Need help with original MacBook, Snow Leopard, iPod Touch and iPad

    I have the original MacBook (2GHz Intel Core Duo) and I just installed Snow Leopard.  My software is all up to date and my system drive has 42 GB of space available. I have an iPod Touch 32 GB 3rd Gen and iPad 1 32 GB that I previously have been syncing with an iBook G4 PowerPC with no problems.  The iPod is running iOS 6. 
    Now, I want to sync them with this MacBook but when I open iTunes and connect the iPod, I go to click Backup (to this Computer(or even to iCloud)), it gives me an error message that my computer does not have enough space to backup.  The iPod is only 17 GB full.  So, I tried clicking Sync, in an effort to just get my iPod data into my iTunes and on the computer that way.  But it only did a 3 step sync and didn't actually transfer anything from the iPod.  My iPod was NOT wiped clean however(which is what I was actually worried would happen).  So I gave up on the iPod. 
    Moving on to the iPad, I clicked back up and it WAS able to backup.  The Available space on my system drive went from about 42.8 GB to 42.25 GB, so I figured it may have done something.  Then I tried to Sync and it did the same 3 step sync and nothing was transferred to the computer and the iPad left untouched.
    I am extremely new to Snow Leopard, so maybe I am missing something.  Does anyone have any idea what is going on?  Ultimately my goal is to just get everything from my iPod and iPad onto this MacBook.

    See if yhis article helps with your sync and backup issues http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    Make sure that you click on each tab on the top of the iTunes window and select what you want to be synched.

    As far as replacing the hard drive it's very easy, here's a guide http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Core+2+Duo+Hard+Drive+Replacement/514/1
    IF you do decide to replace the hard drive you might consider a solid state drive, less power, less heat and WAYYYYY faster. I replaced mine with a Samsung 840 250GB SSD and it's the best upgrade I've ever done to a computer.

  • Upgraded macbook to snow leopard & ipod does not connect

    I recently upgraded my macbook to snow leopard, now my ipod touch will not come up in itunes or on the desktop. I have tried the troubleshooting suggestions, but nothing has worked.
    How do I fix this?

    It would be very helpful if you told use what troubleshooting you have tried. Have you tried:

  • Snow leopard-multi touch gestures

    Apparently snow leopard includes Multi-Touch gestures in older Mac models. Does this include the white macbook? And if so what exactly does this mean?

    I can confirm that there is no multi-touch gesture support on the trackpad of my Intel Core Duo MacBookPro1,1, which is much newer (only 3.5 years) than the original white MacBook, so East Asian language handwriting is also not possible. Fortunately for me, typing and conversion of Chinese and especially Japanese is very quick, so I don't really need the latter.
    I'm not sure which version of the white MacBook you have (you'd have to check the Hardware Overview pane on your Get Info panel displayed by the System Profiler. If there was no multi-touch gesture support at all on your MacBook, there will definitely be no enablement by Snow Leopard. Apparently, people who had only 3-finger gestures on older model portables now have 4-fingure gestures made available by Snow Leopard.

  • ITunes Won't Sync with iPod Touch

    Since migrating to my new iMac my old iPod Touch would not sync with iTunes. After following the articles on reinstalling the mobile device support I found that the iPod would only sync with iTunes once before it was necessary to reinstall again. Not very helpful.
    Anyway, the solution is here! Run software update, as there is an iPhone SDK patch ready and waiting for you. Downloaded and restarted the iMac, and hey presto we have an iPod again, hoorah.

    Bingo! Worked for me too (running Software Update and installing the iPhone SDK update).
    I'm also staggered that this isn't explicitly mentioned as a likely fix in the general troubleshooting page for this connection problem on this site. As someone who diligently -- but manually -- downloads all patches and updates, I never use Software Update, and yet I could not find the iPhone SDK update available to download manually.
    Background: my 2nd gen iPod Touch refused to be recognised by iTunes after upgrading my machine to Snow Leopard. iPod recognised by iPhoto and in iTunes on another Mac. Tried every troubleshooting item on the list at:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
    Notice that the suggestion to try Software Update is way down the list and is easy to disregard if you prefer to update your machine manually, as I do.
    Given the number of users with this problem (I've read through dozens of posts looking for a fix for a good three weeks now) you'd think someone at Apple would reorder the troubleshooting list or at least highlight this option. Hopefully anyone else with this issue will stumble upon this thread, as I did, and get a happy result.

  • Ipod touch won't sync with itunes, only iphoto after snow leopard update upgrade

    Have just put snow leopard onto my mac book 4.1. Can't get my ipod touch 5.1.1 to sync with itunes. It syncs with iphoto every time, but no device comes up in itunes or in finder. I have the latest software updates on both mac & touch. Any ideas?

  • IPod Touch is not recognized in iTunes after Snow Leopard install

    Another post says that the solution is to install iPhone/iPod Touch SDK update under Software Update. I did this and am still having no luck. I have a 1st Gen iPod Touch and when I connect it to my MacBook, it doesn't show the syncing screen on my iPod, nor does it register under devices on my iTunes. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? When I installed Snow Leopard I did a clean install and restored my computer from Time Machine. So, a problem may be that it doesn't think my iPod is registered under this computer. Is there anyway I can check and see if that is the problem?

    Your post solved the same problem for me. Thank you so much! And thanks to JaketheSnake for starting this thread. iTunes used to start up automatically whenever I connected my iPod Touch, but a couple of months ago it quit doing that. I didn't think much of it as I just clicked on iTunes in the dock and opened it and went on my merry way. I just figured something in the last iTunes update changed it's behavior. But lately I noticed that my iPod Touch would be in the source list while it was syncing and then it would sometimes just disappear. I was too lazy to start a thread, I guess, because I just thought someone would tell me to "restore" my iPT and I had gotten used to my little "work arounds". But now it's fixed, thanks to both of you.

  • ITunes won't recognize iPod touch since Snow Leopard

    I convinced my dad to get Snow Leopard (the low price helped), and he loaded it onto his macbook pro, but now his iPod touch won't mount – it charges from the USB port, but iTunes doesn't recognize it. We plugged in my iPhone to see if it would work, and it started iPhoto, but not iTunes. That shows pretty conclusively that the trouble is with iTunes software. We haven't tried reinstalling it because I'm worried he'll lose all of his many playlists and settings. Any suggestions?

    Hello JacobST,
    Have you tried resetting the iPod touch with it connected to the Mac? To do this, press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons together until the unit powers off. Then press and hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears.
    If not luck with that, work through the troubleshooting steps provided in this Apple support document. You can choose to skip the re-installation of iTunes until later, but do know that it will have no affect on the media or settings, because this information is stored elsewhere on his Mac.

    Start iTunes.  Make sure you really are running the version you think you are.  Sometimes people end up with two copies, different versions.

  • Problems syncing iCal btwn iPod Touch and Mac running Snow Leopard (10.6.8)

    Last fall I purchased an iPod Touch 32 GB, now running 6.1.2 iOS. I have an iMac 2007 running Snow Leopard (10.6.8).  I was looking forward to being able to sync my many iCal calendars and take it on the road with me, so that I could make appointments and have them then be available to me on my Mac. I have synced using usb cable, and can get contacts, music, apps synced just fine: but the Calendar has been rather choosy about what it will sync. Sometimes it will give transfer to the iPod all the appts on one calendar (for example, Medical, which lists all my medical appts) and sometimes it will only give me some of those, with no apparent pattern as to why some are transferring and some are not. Other calendars never sync at all. In the beginning I was able to make an appt on the iPod and have it transfer to the Mac,but it stopped doing that within the first month of purchase.
    I have spoken with Apple Care twice on this topic, and both times the conversation ended with the saying they would have to send this up to someone more knowledgeable, who would assuredly get back to me. I have not received any contact from their supervisors/other departments to work on this. The first Apple Tech Support person thought it was due to the new iOS, and assured me they were working out bugs on that, but further updates have not addressed the issue.
    Most folks seem to think the best solution is upgrading to Lion/Mountain Lion and syncing through the Cloud. But I *like* Snow Leopard, and what I've heard/seen about the newer operating systems isn't making me want to jump on that bandwagon unless there's really no other way around it. I've even seen some problems syncing calendars through the Cloud.
    Has anyone found a solution for this that allows me to continue to run Snow Leopard?
    Many thanks.

    Problem fixed. I have 3 wireless mice connected to my Mac Mini through a USB bus, and started to get conflicts, disconnected all of them, re-connected my Apple bluetooth mouse and it all snapped back in to place, also didn't help that earlier, my wife caught the cat walking across my keyboard. That problem solved by closing off the office when I'm not there, and cat expelled from the area.
    Everything working as normal.

    ipod touch 4g 4.3 not detecting in itunes 10.1.2, i am using mac os x 10.3 snow leopard, can someone help?

    You do not need Snow Leopord (10.6.X), but you do need Leopord (10.5.8) and iTunes 10.x for iOS 4.3. You need iTunes 10.5 for iOS 5
    For the Current  (iOS 5 iPod touch specs)
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)7
