Trying to sync my iPod Touch (8GB) to my classic iMac G3
Ok I just got an iPod Touch and not that my Stone Age family finally got the internet at home this tricked out iMac G3 I have improved is back online. That said the 'Touch is a tad too new for the iTunes to notice. I tried bumping it up to 10.2.1 but for the love of a G4 processor or high it didn't wanna budge. With some severe backtracking I have iTunes 9.0.1 installed now but although the 'Touch will sync for the photos it throw up some error for the iTunes syncing. I am not imagining the latest and greatest on this slotloader iMac but just a version high enough to recognize my iPod Touch. Anybody else have to do this and know how it goes?
You have the basic requirements of 10.5 or later on your iBook G4 but you also need the newer iTunes 10.2.1
You won't be able to use the G3 as you can't install the newer iTunes on that machine.
You can read the requirements here and then download the new iTunes.

I tried to sync my iPod touch to a new MacPro laptop and it deleted all of my music and videos. I called tech support and they told me to email iTunes and they would give it back to me. How do I do this??
Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books. -
I repeatedly receive an error message when trying to sync my ipod touch with my itunes library with my new computer which reads, "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized on this computer." However when I try and authorize my computer I always receive the message that this computer is authorized. What am I doing wrong? I'm missing about 100 songs as a result of this error!!
See:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
Could the items be purchased by another account? -
I am trying to sync an ipod touch 4TH gen. The capacity bar at the bottom shows I am adding 22.29g with 6.5 g free. Yet every time I try to sync it warns that there is not enough room an additional 868.9m is still needed. Does the capacity bar tend to be wrong or am I missing something?
Well when all else fails do a restore! This fixed my problem. Still don't know why the content bar differed, but what the hey!

Trying to sync my iPod nano (6Gb) for the first time to my laptop (Windows 7). When I toggle the "iPod sync" button I do not get the "apply" button to start the sync. Why?
I have a 27" iMac with the latest version of iTunes. I tried restoring my iPod and even removing and re-installing iTunes. What eventually worked for me was plugging into my PC and restoring/reformatting it to work with my PC. I don't know why it wouldn't work with my iMac, but now it seems to be working.

Error 13019 when trying to sync my Ipod Touch 3rd generation
For the past two days, I have not been able to sync music unto my Ipod. It started when I tried to sync two new albums onto my Ipod, but one album would not sync (the other album did). Every time I tried to sync it, an "unknown error 13019" popped up. I am aware of the steps Apple has on fixing this error, and have tried all of them to no avail. When I removed all of my music from my IPod, then tried to sync all of it back onto it, NONE of my music would go back on! My apps sync fine, my actual IPod seems to be working fine...it just does not have any music on it. After around 8 or 9 times of attempting to sync it, reinstalling Itunes, etc., I am ready to throw both my IPod and my laptop across the room. Is there anything else I can try? Thanks in advance!
I'm with ya. I'm having the same problems and have tried the same solutions. Now I'm using the itouch as a paper weight. Works so-so kinda like what I have been dealing with the past month or so with this error issue. What I have learned to do in the past is to noit update to the new software because with the older ipods, itouches it does not seem to support the new updates very well. I'm sure this doesn't help but I share your frustrations in this matter. At least my iphone works. Oh, I better go check it just in case that crashed on me as well. Not in a good mood right now. Someone on this site has the answer and I'm sure I'm missing something really simple. Just shedding a little ray of hope.

I have an iPod touch that I often use to manage different events for work. I have been able to sync the events on my calendar from my MacBook Pro to the iPod touch successfully using wifi. What I really need to do though is sync my iPod calendar events to my MacBook Pro calendar. Is this possible? How do I set this up? It would be a huge help if I could transfer the events on my iPod calendar to my computers calendar. I currently have the wifi sync option on and have turned on the sync calendars option in iTunes. Thank you for your help!
For resetting the sync history on a Mac running Lion - 10.7.x if needed.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
If you see the Sync menu in the menu bar, skip to step 3:
If you do not see the Sync menu in your menu bar, skip to step 7.
Hold the Option key on your keyboard, then click the Sync menu in the menu bar:
if you see the Sync menu but you are unable to open it, skip to step 8.
Choose Reset Sync Services.
Click Reset Sync History.
Test for the original issue. If the issue persists, or if you are unable to open the Sync menu, follow these steps:
In the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu.
Open Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type or paste the following command on a single line:
/System/Library/Frameworks/SyncServices.framework/Versions/A/Resources/resetsync .pl full
Press Return.
Quit Terminal after the operation has completed (when Terminal returns to the command prompt with a $). -
Why does my iTunes freezes while trying to sync my iPod Touch?
When I try to sync my 2nd Gen. iPod Touch, it freezes partly. It froze when a pop up from iTunes saying it's 'Adding Files' and below it, it says 'Processing: 20100314211421.m4a'. I'm pretty sure I know that I didn't download this file. And when I try to search it by the whole number '20100314211421' my computer couldn't locate it. BUT if I search in the first couple numbers like '2010' it shows a bunch of them and it's mostly [ MyDocuments / My Music / iTunes/ iTunes Music ] folder so I'm guessing it's from iTunes. After figuring that out, I uninstall iTunes 3 times and it still wouldn't sync!
+ When it froze, I could still listen to music although it doesn't play the next track.
++ Also, my iPod is the 4.0 version
+ And when I check my iPod ... nothing changes...
Please help! It's been bothering me for days now.

I recommend call Apple: 1800 MY APPLE
Have them document the issue in the system, and provide a resolution if one is available. If there is none they will work it until they find one.
This "may" fix the issue:
