To all those having issues syncing their new iPod touch to iTunes:

Do me a favor and try downloading doubletwist from www.doubletwist.com. I was having issues with itunes telling me it couldn't sync music/videos/photos (but it could apps) with my new 32 GB ipod touch 3rd gen so I shipped it back to Amazon earlier this week.
Most other itune replacement software didn't support the new OS 3.0 and I didn't know how long they would take. I just got an update from doubletwist they now support the latest touch and iphones. I obviously can't try it out.
But if several people try this (make sure to check for latest version), and it allows them to transfer music/videos while Apple have their collective heads up their *****, I will reconsider purchasing it again. I love my new HTC Hero, but it just doesn't cut it as a replacement.
thanks,
Jonathan

Slowed my computer down to unusability, missing (or hidden so I couldn't find them) things I consider key features (tag editing, smart playlists, podcasts). Doesn't appear to do anything I can't already do with iTunes. The Amazon Downloader already adds any of my purchases to my iTunes library.
Oh, and it never recognized my Touch (3.1.2) so I don't know how it would have worked. Would it have synced? Or would I have been stuck with tediously dragging and dropping things?
Given what it did to my computer, I'm unlikely to spend much time trying to get it to work. Perhaps it works better on a Windows box but I don't think I want to subject my low horsepower netbook to it.
Best of luck.

    Can anyone help me out please?

    Thanks!
    Even though the diagnostics aren't showing errors for it, I think it's probably still worth checking on your USB drivers, as per the following document:
    [iPhone or iPod is not recognized properly by computer when USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538]

  • If I help out a friend & download a free app (through my iTunes account) on their new iPod Touch, will their device automatically be added to my itunes device list (and they can see all my contacts, pix, music etc)?

    If I help out a friend & download a free app (through my iTunes account) on their new iPod Touch, will their device automatically be added to my itunes device list (and they can see all my contacts, pix, music etc)?

    Just wondering, what context is this in?
    First up, is your iTunes account part of an iCloud account?
    Secondly, if it's a free app, why don't they just download it? If they are having trouble finding it on the App Store, but you can find it easily, you can share the link for it via email with them, and if they view that email on their iPod they can just tap the link and it will open the App Store to that App for them, so they can download it themselves.
    If you were to go to the Store settings pane and sign in with your iTunes account, that should only provide the possibility for download items from your iTunes account, such as purchased apps, music and movies. However, if you signed in, downloaded the app, and then went back and signed out of the account again, there shouldn't be any access apart from the app you downloaded. This is provided you sign in using the Store section of the Settings app, not the iCloud section.
    One problem they will have if you download this in your account instead of theirs, in order to download updates for that app, they will need you to enter your iTunes password to download the updates. Doing that doesn't give them access to anythign to do with your account other than that update, but they will be unable to receive updates for it without your password. They would also likely be unable to sync the app onto their computer, as their computer would not be Authorised with your iTunes account.
    If you can answer some of the questions I've asked, I may be able to suggest alternate ways for you get them the app on their device.
    Hope this all helps a bit

  • ITunes Freezes when I try to sync my new iPod Touch

    I can't sync my new iPod with my iTunes library. I have posted in the iTunes forum, although my title says that I have solved the issue. It isn't, so I'm contemptlating reposting.
    I bought a 64gig iPod Touch the other day to replace an old broken iPod. When I try to sync it with my main iTunes library, after a short while (5-500 songs) iTunes freezes and won't shut down. I have on a couple of occasions got a message saying the the computer can't write to the iPod, or the iPod isn't responding, or an "Unknown Error".
    It seems to work fine with my laptop.
    I found a page on fixing "Unknown Errors" and have tried most of the suggestions.
    I've tried:
    *) Uninstalling and Reinstalling iTunes several times
    *) Resetting and restoring my iPod several times
    *) Updating my drivers - they are all up to date apparently
    *) Stopping all unnecessary programs and services from running on start up
    *) Creating a new user account and trying to sync my iPod from there. I have successfully managed to sync the iPod with a small number of songs or a film on my own account, so I need to test it with a fairly big library. I copied my main iTunes library into iTunes on the new account. The sync hasn't worked (although it is syncing the same files).
    I found a post with a google search that suggested it could be a power drain on my USB port / Bus, or somet fhing like that. Not sure exactly what that means, but it sounded plausible. I have recently upgraded my graphics card.
    I did also see a solution posted that suggested formatting the iPod using My Computer and the iPod icon, but I can't imagine that would do anything more than the restore iPod option in the iPod menu?
    Can anyone help? Getting a bit fed up now... I've had the iPod a couple of weeks and have barely been able to use it yet.

    Are you using security software on your PC? If yes, try to disable the software or check the settings. More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

  • Windows 8.1, iOS 8.1.3, Itunes 12.1 64 bit, constantly get 'waiting for changes to apply' when trying to sync my new ipod touch

    Windows 8.1, iOS 8.1.3, Itunes 12.1 64 bit, constantly get 'waiting for changes to apply' when trying to sync my new ipod touch. Downloaded latest version f itunes, and ipod software up to date. Really frustrated I can't sync my music! Please can someone help me

    Im having huge issues after updating to 12.1 on Win 8.1  x64. Choppy playback and so on.
    Try this since it helps in most situtation :
    Remove itunes but keep library files. Then download it again and install it.
    Also most likely you will have to restore ipod touch. I restored my iPhone 5 to remove waiting for changes to apply and Error 54.
    my iPad air still isnt restored (cant do it now) and it sometimes does same like iPhone waiting for changes to apply. And gives error 54 but sync DOES GET COMPLETED.
    Also may sound stupid but try to use USB 2.0 Ports. Not 3.0. I have troubles when using 3.0

  • HT2905 Many (most) of my songs in my library have multiplied. I now have doubles and triples of my music. I don't know why it has done this or how to fix this problem. This is a new problem since I synced a new ipod touch this week.

    Many(most) of my songs in my library have multiplied. I now have doubles and triples of my music. This is a new problem that started this week when I synced my new ipod touch. Why did this happen and how do I get rid of it. I have around 1400 duplicates in my library now.

    I suspect in this case the problem is caused by your library and device having downloaded independent copies of the media, so that when the library connects to the device it copies over your purchases not realizing they are already in the library.
    When deduping use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)

  • Ok, when i try to sync my new ipod touch to my computer, it says unable to connect for unknown reasons, and as a benefit, it shows the songs as faded in the list and therefore unplayable. how do i fix this problem?

    as stated in the title, i when i try to sync my new ipod touch to my computer it says its unable to connect due to unkown reasons. the music is listed on my touch as there, but faded (minus a selected few songs) and therefore are unplayable. i have no idea where to start, i figured downloading the newest itunes update, however, it no longer shows up when i start it up. confused.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reboot the computer
    - Try another cable and USB port
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • How can i sync my new ipod touch to a mac ibook

    I have an i new ipod touch and have a mac ibook g4 with an operating system of 10.4.11 and for some reason it won't let me sync my new ipod touch to my itunes. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • I bought a new Ipod touch, my itunes will not see the music I already have on my PC

    I bought a new Ipod touch, my itunes will not see the mp3 songs I already have on my PC

    I have thousands of mp3's on my PC.  I used to use a Zune, it died I made the move to I pod touch.  I downloaded I tunes to my PC and a small amount of my music showed up on the screen.  I did a search for an artist for whom I have lots of songs.  I tunes can't find him and tries to direct to the I tunes store to buy stuff by him.  Unacceptable 
    So then I went to my windows explorer, opened my folder for the artist,  right clicked on a song,  chose "play" and  I tunes then played it.  So now I tunes can find that one song but none of the others in that folder.   I don't want to do this drill with all my songs since I have thousands that I tunes can't or won't display.  Is this just some cynical move by Apple to get me to re-buy music I already have?
