TS1591 iPod Touch Stopped Syncing to iTunes

So my iPod Touch 4th Generation(iOS 6.1.5) stopped syncing after the iTunes 11.1.4 update for Windows. My laptop is an Asus Vivobook (Windows 8.1) and iTunes was working perfectly fine before the new update. The iPod is recognized on my laptop but it won't show up in iTunes when I connect it. (the iPod also does get charged so it's probably unrelated to the charging cable)
Is this happening to anyone else and did anyone find a solution? Should I just try to downgrade the iTunes app??
I looked at the help page for when iPod doesn't show up and tried all of the steps but it didn't work.
I'm really hoping that this gets resolved soon and that many more won't have the same problems in the future!

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with              
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or              
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem

  • Ipod touch stopped syncing with itunes since ios 5 upgrade

    Can someone PLEASE ADVISE ME!
    I spent off and on 24 hours finally getting my ios 5 update on my ipod touch 4g. When i first upgraded itunes to 10.5, when I tried to upgrade to ios5 the udgrade kept crashing.  Then my ipod stopped syncing with itunes. Im on a PC with windows 7 (64-bit). So I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes.  My ipod coninues to not sync. So, I finally reverted my ipod back to factory settings and then it took like 8 hours total for my ipod to revert, update to ios 5, and then resync my apps, music & vids and settings with itunes. I thought YES EVERYTHING IS GREAT.  Starting using ios 5 and was loving it.  Till, i wanted to resync with itunes to enable wifi syncing.
    Now, everytime i plug in my ipod, it says Syncing my ipod (step 2 of 8) and the stripy thing is moving...and below that it ways Backing up
    but then it just keeps saying this for hours.  never moves beyond "step 2", So i end up having to open task manager and closing out itunes.  Then when i reopen itunes it will freeze up.  I uninstalled'reinstalled itunes now 4 times and the same thing happens...the sync never gets beyon step 2...backing up.
    WHAT CAN I DO? please help! Desperate

    ah now i see your reply in the thread.  well, i am sorry yours wont tuen on or even get recognized.  *** is going on with this stuff.  i really love the ios5 but if i cant sync with itunes im screwed. i dont want to have to pay for more iCloud storage for backing up either!!!
    I really hope someone can advise me. Cuz i fear I may have to try and revert back to factory and spend like 6 or 7 hours again trying to resync and re set up my ipod

  • My 4 generation ipod touch is syncing from itunes, and every time it syncs it has to sync all the songs but on the ipod it says no content? What to do?

    My 4 generation ipod touch is syncing from itunes, and every time it syncs it has to sync all the songs but on the ipod it says no content? What to do?

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is 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 from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • IPod Touch stops syncing and disappears from iTunes

    I have a problem with an iPod Touch 8GB: when connecting it to a MacBook, it starts syncing and transferring songs, but after a while it just stops syncing and disappears from iTunes. The iPod will still show "sync in progress", and it will still show up in the System Profiler, but not in iTunes.
    If I cancel the sync from the iPod, the song library will be inaccessible ("Cancelling sync" or whatever it says) until I unplug the USB cable. If I keep trying (by unplugging and re-plugging it in), it will eventually finish syncing all songs, but it takes ages that way.
    I have tried 2 different USB cables and upgraded to firmware 1.1.5 (it was 1.1.4 before). Any ideas?

    I have upgraded to 2.0.1 and the latest itunes as of today and still have the exact same issue. I have even tried the following with no luck :
    1. Restart the ipod after this occurs and then sync again.
    2. Deleted my entire list of Music and Videos from itunes and reloaded them back.
    3. Formatted and Reinstalled Windows and tried syncing again.
    Thanks to this issue, i dont even have a single song or Video on my ipod....
    Can someone please Help.

  • My iPod Touch stops syncing halfway through

    I just got a new computer and I transfered all of my files onto it. I plugged my ipod in and updated it but instead syncing after it was done it deleted all the content off of my ipod. I restarted my computer and then tried to sync it again but now the process stops right after backing up the files. What should I do?

    -Try resetting the iPod and try again.
    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.
    - Next I would try restoring from backup
    It is expected that when you connect an iPod that was synced to another computer/iTunes ibray, the iPod will be erased and its contents replaced with that in the iTunes library of the new computer. An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library.

  • IPod randomly stops syncing using iTunes

    My iPod touch is a 16gb version. For some reason, i have to keep syncing it over and over and over again (2000+ songs) to get it to sync them all. Sometimes it will go for a gb of music and then it will randomly just stop syncing. Sometimes alot less like 2-300mb of syncing. I cant figure out what's causing this.. The first time i synced all my music to it was last night and it didnt stop syncing once. Today for some reason i made lots of changes to my music, so to do a clean sync i reinstalled all the firmware and software for the ipod through itunes, and then i started syncing it again and now for some reason it keeps stopping after a couple hundred songs.. Keep in mind i tried to re-sync everything before i re-installed the software too and it was doing the same thing, the re-install of the software was to see if it would fix the problem. I looked around but not deeply for an anwser to my problem but could not find one. If you have any idea whats causing this can you please let me know?
    My computer specs are as follows ( all less than 2 months old )
    Windows XP Home Edition 32-bit | Legal :P
    Intel Quad Core Q6600 | Processor
    EVGA nForce 680i SLI | MotherBoard
    EVGA e-Geforce 8800GTS 640mb | Graphics Card
    Corsair 3GB DDR2 800mhz | Ram
    Seagate 500GB SATA 7200rpm | Hard Drive
    OCZ GameXstreme 700watt | Power Supply
    Many Fatal1ty fans / raidmax case.
    Thanks alot.

  • Ipod Touch Stops Syncing

    Okay so after making a backup and restoring my Ipod touch, I was working on getting the backup back into it. It goes on smoothly until it runs into one song and then stops completely, freezing Itunes and after a while my computer until the error that my Ipod, or 'disk,' cannot be read and the file for the song itself can't be read either. I tried deleting the song from Itunes and selecting specific songs to sync but nothing is fixing it. Everytime I sync it starts right at that song and I have about 90 songs to still put on my Ipod. Not to mention I don't even have my downloaded apps anymore.

    Do the songs play OK in iTunes?
    Try:
    'Disk cannot be read from or written to' when syncing iPod or 'Firmware update failure' error when updating or restoring iPod

  • Ipod Touch Wont Sync to Itunes

    Hey, so my ipod touch hasnt worked right with itunes for a while now, ive done a lot of things trying to get it to work but heres the issue. When i plug in my itouch, itunes doesnt do anything. Ive made sure the sync automatically setting is on, but that changes nothing. It doesnt even recognize my itouch, when i look to the sidebar on itunes it doesnt say "*insert name* ipod. So naturally the first thing i tried doing was using the itunes troubleshooter, but the instance i press the next button to start the process, it freezes itunes, which stops responding and closes. So next i tried to reinstall itunes. This actually does solve my issue, as when i put the ipod in immediately after it does sync, however the very next day it will not work again. I dont feel like reinstalling itunes every night to sync it. So now ive been looking on the internet for solutions, ive done many things that havent helped at all, i did all the things that the apple website says to do, and it didnt work still. Right now i really dont know who else to ask.

    I had a similar problem to this and found out my mobile device service had not started properly. I found the following apple link http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567 for restarting the service useful and my problem now seems to have disappeared.

  • IPod Touch stopped working with iTunes with OS upgrade

    I have a problem with my iPod Touch connecting to iTunes. It is a new
    It has worked fine in the past, but stopped working once I upgraded from OS 10.4.x to OS 10.5.. I can still see/ sync my old 3rd generation iPod just fine.
    I am currently using iTunes 8.0.1. The iPod is charging fine with the cord provided. The iPod works fine, but I would like to load the Apps I purchased and update the podcasts I listen to.
    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    I apologize for posting a bit early.  Found an Alpine manual online and i needed to set the AUX port to off.  They also recommended a reset of the Touch.  After doing these two things it is now working.  Maybe this will help someone else.

  • IPod Touch Cannot Sync with iTunes

    I just got back my iPod touch from an apple store, after i had a previous problem with it restoring but they fixed that problem. Now, when i try to sync my iPod with my itunes library i get tons of different error messages and it doesn't work. Sometimes i will get "The iPod "name of ipod" cannot be synced. The required disk cannot be found". If I click ok to that message, I get another error message saying "The iPod "name of iPod" cannot be synced. A folder was specified instead of a file." If I try to manually drag songs onto my iPod in itunes, nothing happens at all. At other times when I try to Sync it, I get another error message saying -6999. Now it says The Device Timed Out.
    Please help me :S
    Also, if i click on like photos, movies or music tabs, it shows the music sign and "Canceling Sync" (on my ipod)

    Now in an attempt to fix it, i attached the usb cable to the back of the computer, now i get an error message like this "The iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13014.
    It seems every single error message is against me

  • IPod touch wont sync with iTunes. Weird errors!

    Anytime I try to sync anything to my iPod touch, I get one of the following error messages;
    1.)Attempting to copy to the disk “Duncan’s iPod” failed. There are too many files open currently.
    2.)The iPod “Duncan’s iPod cannot be synced. An internal device error occurred.
    3.)iTunes could not copy “a song of mine” to the iPod “Duncan’s iPod” because an unknown error occurred [-42].
    4.)The iPod “Duncan’s iPod” cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found.
    5.)The app “various apps” could not be installed on the iPod “Duncan’s iPod” because an unknown error occurred (0xE8008001).
    Most of the time, it's either the first or second error, but it changes pretty much every time.
    I have tried restoring my iPod (that didn't work), erasing all content and settings on my iPod (that didn't work), even uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes (that didn't work, either!).
    Any help, any help AT ALL would be appreciated.

    by the looks of thing from what the second person said about using it on other computers it looks like it could be the version of itunes because there was a simuler problem when they brought the first itunes 10.1 out people had problems every where i have the same problem at the moment but i might have a temp fix to it till they fix this but wich is uninstalling itunes and installing an older virsion from filehippo.com hope this helps you i am going to give it a try my self

  • 3rd gen iPod Touch not syncing with iTunes 10.4.1 on Lion?

    I've had a 3rd gen 64GB iPod Touch for almost two years now and I've only had one problem with syncing it before. I followed this (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1747) and it helped. But since I updated my MacBook Pro to Lion, this article no longer applies and iTunes hasn't recognized my iPod. My iPod does show up in iPhoto though. Everything is fully updated and I restored my iPod using another computer, but even after doing that my iPod isn't recognized in iTunes. Also, my iPod won't go into recovery mode. It shows the connect to iTunes screen but when I connect it, nothing happens. I've tried restarting my computer and my iPod many times and I've tried everything I know.
    Now, since restoring, I have nothing on my iPod and I use it every day so any help would be appreciated.

    I figured out how to show the hidden files, but even after doing that, the files weren't there.  On the page that you showed me, it says "Note: These steps do not apply to OS X Lion" and since I am using Lion, it didn't work
