Trying to sync my ipod touch 3rd gen with windows media 11. Can anyone please help.

The iPod will only sync with iTunes. Install iTunes on your computer, import the music into the iTunes library and then sync.

  • Whenever I try to sync my iPod Touch 5th gen with iTunes I get an error message saying "The iPod "*****" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start". Is there any way I can fix this?

    B-rock, thanks for posting the above.  I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\.  When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
    I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
    I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message.  I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
    In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
    What am I doing wrong, can you help? 
    Thank you!

  • Itunes 10.5.2 Freezes when i sync my iPod touch 3rd gen on ios 5

    Hello everyone!
    I have to questions that i hope a member of the apple community can hopefully help me with here they are.
    1. I need a solution that is proven to work either by you or a video of some sort to help me with this issue.
    I have a 3rd gen Ipod Touch (As it says as my title) its currently running ios 5 and itunes running 10.5.2. When i try to Transfer Purchases the Itunes Freezes completely. And as a result i have to open task manager and end process.
    2.Also My Ipod has chosen to freeze every now and again it basically freezes in the state where it looks like i have locked my screen so it like i have just pressed the lock button. So i try pressing the lock button again to see if that works which it didnt after i tried it with the home button and still no luck however it will randomly go back to normal as if it never happened.
    Please could someone answer these two questions it would be apprecicated.
    Regards.
    P.S thanks in advance

    - You will never get a proven solution since there are many many causes of your problems.  Wait, there is a proven solution.  Puchase a new Mac and a new iPod.
    - Try here fore the iTunes problem.  It includes a link for XP
    iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    - For the iPod problem all yu can do is:
    - A reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore the iPod from backup
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Itunes 11 won't sync to Ipod touch 2nd gen on windows 8

    2nd gen Ipod Touch 16gb. It will not sync to Itunes 11.0.2.26 on Windows 8. Itunes can see the device since it appears in my list of devices. When I attempt to sync it, it goes thru the sthe 3 steps.
    1. Preparing to sync
    2. Waiting to sync
    3, Finished syncing
    I do not receive any errors but no music is sync'd to the Ipod.
    I have updated the Ipod to the latest and greatest software. I have uninstalled and re-installed Itunes. I have reset the Ipod to factory default
    I have performed the numerous possible resolutions posted on the discussion boards but nothing has resolved the problem.

  • My ipod touch 3rd gen will not update to 4.3. It says it is the current version

    when i try to update my ipod touch 3rd gen to 4.3 on itunes it says "your ipod is up to date" and "this is the currnet version".  But when i try to buy certain apps it says "you must have version 4.3 to download this app" what do i do? i have 4.2 and i have even clicked the "check for update" button and waited for the automatic update check but it always says its the current version even though its not! please help me!

    You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, not a third, and those can't be updated past 4.2.1. Apple sold 8GB second generation models at the same time as the third generation ones.

    You buy one and only one download.
    As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

  • Ipod Touch 3rd Gen won't sync with windows

    I've tried all the different troubleshooting through Apple but can't get my Ipod Touch 3rd Gen to show up on windows much less sync with Itunes.  I just went through the process of fixing my Iphone so I know that Itunes is properly installed and the other drivers should be good.  I even turned on Bonjour, which the one of the trouble shooting steps exposed.   Any tips other then buy a new Ipod touch?

  • I have an iPod Touch 3rd gen and while it is recognized by my laptop with Win 8.1, it won't sync with iTunes.

    I have an iPod Touch 3rd gen and while it is recognized by my laptop with Win 8.1, it won't sync with iTunes.  It worked fine while my laptop had Win 8 but after the update, it quit syncing.  Strange though, I downloaded an app directly to my iPod and when I connected it to my laptop again (for recharging if nothing else), iTunes updated itself by including the new app.  I also tried syncing wirelessly.  Also unsuccessful.  I'm about ready to change to an alternate to iTunes if I can't get this situation fixed.  Anyone else have this problem and/or a solution?

    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
