Trying to sync iPod touch after reinstalling Windows

Hi there.
I had to reinstall windows on my computer.
Now, I'm trying to get my iPod Touch synced again with iTunes.
However, every time I try (whether it's thru WiFi or USB), I keep getting a message warning me that:
"The iPod is synced with another iTunes library. An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. What would you like to do?
Erase and Sync - replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library
Transfer Purchases - copies iTunes Store purchases this computer is authorized to play from this iPod to this iTunes library."
I've already tried clearing everything; I've deauthorized this computer etc.. signed back in again etc.. I still keep getting the same thing though.
I don't know what else to do. There's nothing currently in my iTunes on my computer, so if I do the "Erase and Sync" option, I'll lose just about everything, except for a few purchases or whatever..
If anyone knows how to resolve this, please let me know ASAP!!
I also have my iPod backed up to iCloud, which I know pretty much nothing about.. I don't know where my stuff is actually backed up at, like where to go for it, nor at all how I'd go about doing a "restore" or anything...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

ONCE AGAIN THIS **** THING COMES UP WITH THIS MESSAGE... HAPPENED AT THREE TIMES OR MORE NOW!!!!!!
"RESTORE INCOMPLETE
SOME ITEMS COULD NOT BE DOWNLOADED FROM THE STORE. IF THEY ARE ON YOUR COMPUTER, YOU CAN RESTORE THEM BY SYNCING WITH ITUNES."
WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY HAVE THESE SO-CALLED "BACKUP" OPTIONS IF THEY'RE NOT GOING TO EVEN F-ING RESTORE ?!?!?!!?!?!
THANKS A LOT APPLE!!!!!!! ):

Error when trying to sync iPod touch 32 GB 4G to iTunes with Windows 7

I'm getting two errors when I try to sync my son's 32 GB iPod touch (4th generation) to iTunes. The device doesn't show up and the touch starts chirping consistently. Here are the two errors:
iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000001).
and
iTunes could not connect to the iPhone becuase an invalid response was received from the device.
I've updated to the latest version of iTunes. Anyone have any other ideas?

Cannot Sync Ipod touch after upgrading to OS 3.0 (error 13001)

I got the error 13001 when I sync after I upgraded my ipod touch (2nd gen) to OS 3.0.
I tried to reinstall itunes and restore the ipod but the problem still cant be solved.
Some topics here said that it can be solved if you do not sync the song with over the sample rate 44.100 kbps. Some post said it can be solved if you create a new library.
It is okay for a few days, but the problem came back again and this time it cannot be solved by creating a new library.
It is ok when I downgrade my firmware back to 2.2.1.
So, I think it is the problem of the 3.0 firmware(7A341), but I want to use the OS 3.0.I know many people got this problem too.
I hope someone can help me and the people got the same problem.

I have seen one suggestion that disabling virus scanning during sync works. There seem to be quite a few hits on Google searching for ipod touch error 13001.
For a variety of suggestions here is a specimen hit:

I don't have a touch myself.
P.S. Which virus checker do you use?

Itunes freezes when trying to sync Ipod Touch

Hi,
I have just installed the lastest version of itunes (11.2.2.3) after having issues with installing I finally cracked it with help fromn the support forum.
I am now trying to sync my Ipod touch and everytime i try and sync itunes locks up and have to end task in windows task manager.
any ideas on how the fix this?? im running windows 8.1 and have had no issues syncing till instlling the new update.
any suggestions greatly recived.
Cheers

Yes.
The same thing has happened to me. After the hideous update they did a couple of months ago I didn't think they would mess things up like this again. And why, I, as a costumer have to go to all the trouble to create another account to see if the problems persist? If they weren't there in the first time, why should I struggle to fix it? It's APPLE's product and it should respond to the costumer's needs. I guess the best solution is not to install the upcoming updates.

Tried to sync iPod Touch, noted "new" iTunes. iPod won't sync ("iTunes is unable to load data class information from Sync Services"). Tried the fix, but iTunes hangs when I try to open Preferences.

Just tried to download new audiobooks to my iPod Touch 3, and noted new iTunes. iPod won't sync ("iTunes is unable to load data class information from Sync Services"). Tried to Reset Sync History per Support Article, but it didn't work. My purchased audiobooks are also gone from my iTunes Library. Any fix, or is my best bet to uninstall new iTunes and reload earlier version??

Computer freezes when trying to sync ipod touch

I recently upgraded my laptop to Windows 7 64 bit and I'm not sure if I had this problem. I have the 64 bit version of itunes downloaded and I got a new 32gb ipod touch for christmas today. I plugged it in and set it all up and when it goes to sync, it shows that it gets to the 5th song out of like 500? songs I have and my whole computer freezes. I have my itunes setup so that it gets my songs from my external hard drive. I don't know if that would be a problem by trying to send my songs from my hard drive to my computer and then to my ipod. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

i am having some success with my touch now by right clicking on the itunes icon and selecting, troubleshoot compatibility, troubleshoot program, program worked on earlier versions,then select, win vista service pack2. this is probably not a permenant fix but for the time being it seems to work. hope you have some joy with your setup.

Error 14 when trying to sync iPod Touch

Hello. I tried updationg my iPhone OS for my 2nd Generation iPod Touch today and I got and error while trying to do that. I then realized that I hadn't updated my iTunes (update which was released yesterday). I updated my iTunes and then tried to update my iPod Touch again but I keep getting the same error 14, everytime!
I've tried reading Apple's support pages and nothing seems to solve my problem. I've tried restoring my iPod but it just won't let me do it. I get the same error everytime. Plus I've tried doing that on 2 different Macs. On my iMac and on my Macbook Pro. Can someone please help me? I'm afraid I might lose everything I have on my iPod Touch, not to mention the fact that I might not be able to take my music to work with me tomorrow. Please help!

Okay! I got mine to work!
It turns out the only thing I had not tried was restoring the ipod in another computer. I didn't have access to a second computer last night, so there was no way for me to try it. On a whim, I used my mom's laptop to try the restore.
Turns out it worked!
I didn't download the new version of iTunes on her laptop when prompted to. Maybe it helped I didn't, maybe did not. I don't know but I'm just relieved my touch is working again<3
I hope this helps anyone who gets this problem!
Oh! and my touch is working again with my main pc where I was originally having the Error 14 problem.
So after the restore, I think its safe to go back to the main computer where all your music, videos, apps, ect. are on

Error -39 when trying to sync ipod touch with itunes

Does anyone know how to fix this??? I am trying to sync pics to my ipod touch and this is what error comes up. The error comes up when just trying to sync the ipod to itunes?? any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Check this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
The origin of this error is that you are trying to sync with the wrong version of iTunes. However, in this case it might be indicating a corrupt file. Does it always stop at the same picture? If so, try deleting the picture from the folder and syncing again.

Received an unknown error -42110 when trying to sync ipod touch?

ipod touch won't sync to itunes.....and it froze up after I updated everything on it and loaded new apps. I can't get out of the frozen state?

"Error 3001," "-42110," or "5103"
This alert is related to iTunes Store movie rentals and authorization issues.
Make sure you are using the most recent version of iTunes and QuickTime. They both can be downloaded free of charge.
If your iTunes is up to date, remove the SC Info folder.

Error message in Itunes when trying to sync Ipod Touch 4th gen.

I'm trying to sync my iPod and I keep getting the message that "Itunes cannot sync apps to the ipod because the apps installed on the ipod could not be determined". It seems to be keeping the sync from finishing, so I can't access anything new I've added. It shows up on the ipod and looks like it's there in itunes, but I can't select it when I try to open it on the ipod.
Help!

Old Computer broke, trying to sync ipod touch to new computer

The old laptop I had my new IPod Touch synced to died, so I bought a new Laptop, but ITunes won't allow me to sync to it. It only gives me the option to "Eject", and won't allow me to put any of the new music I have downloaded for my new laptop.
How to I take away a sync for a old laptop (which does not work) to allow it to sync to a new computer.

Where is your back up?
This is precisely why it is basic to maintain a back up?
The ipod touch is NOT a back up.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.
You can transfer itunes purchases : File>Transfer Purchases
You can do a forum search as this is asked and answered quite often.

My computer crashes when trying to sync ipod touch...HELP!

My whole computer crashes without warning - just powers off, usually when I am transferring a CD into iTunes. But, it will do it at other times as well. If there is an error message - I do not see it as it happens too fast. I just downloaded iTunes last week and started having this problem right away. Any solutions yet? I have the 80gb iPods, although this happens whether or not they are connected.

*Replying to D&Z*
+But, it will do it at other times as well. If there is an error message - I do not see it as it happens too fast.+
We'd better check for a hidden blue screen, then.
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
Now try to provoke another crash.
With those settings in place, does a blue screen appear before the PC reboots?
If so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x\[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
If the blue screen mentions a specific file (for example, “ati3duag.dll”), let us know what that is called too. (Exact spelling, please.)

ITunes 10.0.1.22 still crashes when trying to sync iPod Touch or iPhone 3GS

The crash occurs every time iTunes is syncing with the two devices and at the forth stage when iTunes is copying music to the devices, and it seems to occur when one of the songs purchased at iTunes Store is being copied??? Is there any utility to check the integrety, etc of the mpeg 4 files in my iTunes Library??? IF it is this one song that is causing the crash, am I entitled to get the song again from the iTunes Store without charge?

Two iPhone 2g's crash - iPad works fine.
Me too- Crash on my podcast sync, but I'm able to transfer purchases in. My second 2g iphone is the same. My iPad syncs audio/all just fine. I wasn't interested in upgrading to 10 for this very reason, but I had to. I have it backed up to itunes on a W7 netbook. I then try to use my main computer. I have to setup as a new phone. Everything else syncs until the audio. Same account, same network, same shares but I have to pick a computer. Great Plan! This has been broken for a month. Is there a phone number for support of my 275 apps?

After I download Itunes, when trying to sync Ipod, message says "needs newer version of mobile support, uninstall Itunes, and reinstall Itunes, and the same process starts all over again. why is that?

Try removing and then reinstalling the Apple software using these instructions.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
The above containes a link for XP. Also. make sure you install the correct Apple software, It comes in 32 and 64 bit and you need the one that is the same as the computer OS
