Unable to sync ipod 3g

hi I have a iPod Touch 3g 32gb and I updated to iOS 5 and it removed all my apps and music.  Now it will not sync or apply any changes that I try to make.  I have tried restoring it and it fails, or iTunes has a memory leak and I have to force stop it.  I have iTunes 10.5 and just not sure what my problem is.  I have reinstalled some of my apps thru the app store and when it's plugged in it only says that i have 1.85gb  of other on it.  What is my problem?

I have exactly the same experience (music/movies gone, but every time I connect the iphone, it asks if I want to continue restoring- but then it dies with an error, in my case -402620415 rather than -50)
The iTunes store hint is interesting, but didn't change the situation at all

  • Unable to sync ipod 80gb

    when i connect my ipod an error message appears "unable to sync ipod (-48" and some of my songs was erased. and another error message appears that ipod was corrupted, how can i fix this?

    If everything is in your iTunes library, try doing a restore on the iPod and see if it then works ok.

    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?

    You don't need to uninstall AMDS, just restart the service:
    Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Click the Windows Start button .
    In the Start Search field type Services.
    In the Programs section of the search results, Click "Services".
    Select Apple Mobile Device and click Stop the service as shown below:
    After the service has stopped, click Start the service.
    After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.

  • Unable to sync Ipod classic

    I have downloaded 27 songs from store they are showing on the computer but I when I sync my ipod the songs will not transfer over.  Any advice

    First see Corrupt iPod classic just to make sure there's no reason to suspect a real problem on the device.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
    Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

      Windows Vista  

    Pygar:
    I have the same problem, I have a Click Wheel Ipod (4th Gen) and ever since I upgraded to Windows Vista I have not been able to properly sync it, it just stops at 150+ (no error message, sync is supposed to be complete) songs and I actually have 3400+ songs. However my 2nd Gen Ipod Shuffle works flawlessly.
    Anybody else having this problem that was able to resolve it?

    I have a 2nd generation iPod nano.  I have authorized my new laptop to iTunes.  My iPod will play all my music, but I cannot sync my iPod to my new computer.  Therefore, I cannot add or change music.  I am dealing w/ Windows 7 Home Premium.  Ran diagnosics check.  Everything passed except sync.  Message was that no iPod was attached; however, my computer recognizes it.  Changed USB ports but just can't get it to sync.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • HT1296 One Ipod touch has a different Apple ID than the rest. We are unable to sync Ipod Touch with our computer to transfer music we already purchased. How can we get this music transfered?

    How can I transfer music from our computer to an Ipod Touch with a different Apple ID?

    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID listed and sign out and sign in with other ID
    You also may want to go to other places like:
    - Settings>iCloud
    - Settinge>FaceTime
    - Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and change the ID
    It may be best to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings and start over again and set up the iPod again with his account/ID
