When i sync my ipod touch it gets stuck at backing up

Hi! I recently updated itunes to the new software. When i bought a book in itunes, I tries to sync it into my iPod touch ( 3rd gen.), a message pops up and says itunes could't collect data class information from sync services. It also won't go pass the backing up stage. I have tried changing the cord, restarting the sync and itunes, but nothing works. Any suggestions?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes, Sync and see if it is working now.

Can you clear up those Apps in you iPod Touch's multitask window?
Double tap home button to bring up the multitask window. Hold an App in that window until it wiggles. Tap the red button to remove one by one until all window is cleared.
Then do a soft reset of your iPod Touch.
Hold both Home and Sleep button together for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo, then release. After reaching back to Home screen, sync it again and see if it will go through this time.

Are you positive these podcasts are configured to sync to your iPod Touch? Have you double checked the configuration for podcasts from under the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes?
To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on its name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab. Locate the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can choose how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.

Playcount does not sync to iTunes when I sync my iPod Touch

I never had this problem before... When I sync my iPod Touch to iTunes, the playcount does not update anymore. I have no idea if there is an incorrect setting, or if this is just a software update issue, but I really enjoy the playcount. Does anyone know of a fix?

When i sync my ipod touch (4gen), my music does not appear on my device? what is wrong?

when I sync my ipod touch (4gen), my music does not appear on my device. What went wrong?

Hello,
The problem is that you just don't selected the music that you want to import.
You can do this by opening iTunes, search your ipod in the superior bar, select it, then will appear a screen showing the information of your ipod, you can check how many songs are in your ipod, if there says nothing so theres the problem. In the superior bar, select Music, then click on the box "Sync Music", now select the songs you want right down. And press "Sync" That should solve the problem.
Cheers

Twelve of my third-party apps essentially uninstall themselves when I sync my iPod Touch.

Here's the kicker: in NO WAY did I uncheck their boxes, yet iTunes keeps thinking I want to remove them. I am at a loss what to do, as the support articles on Apple's site aren't helpful. This has not occurred before today.
I suspect this has its roots in something I possibly did this afternoon when I sat down to sync my iPod Touch (3rd generation) to my computer (PowerBook G4).
When I plugged the sync cord into the iTouch, I realized I forgot to turn off WiFi before beginning this, as push notifications halt the syncing. Just before the Sync in Progress screen, I touched the Settings icon when I realized I'd forgotten the WiFi. Since then, despite my attempts, the apps, when selected and dragged over to the desired screens, do not "stick" as the syncing progresses.
As you can imagine, it is frustrating, because I use these apps to varying degrees. For the record, they are: Best Buy, Converter, eBay Classifieds, eBay Mobile, Flashlight, Flicker, Free Wi-Fi-Finder, HBO, PayPal, Target, TextFree, Walmart, and Wikipedia Mobile. Attempts to download them from the App Store via the device result in a message saying that I need to have iOS 4.x, The problem, however, is that I am presently unable due to financial issues to upgrade my PowerBook's OS from Tiger to Leopard, so I can upgrade iTunes from 9.1.1 to 10.x, and ultimately the iOS to 4.x from 3.1.3.
Given my situation, what can I do by myself to remedy this? If push comes to shove, I'll see an Apple Genius, something for which I'll make an appointment anyway.
Sincerely,
Dieter Zakas

Well this won't work for me...
I had all of my apps and music stored in iTunes, I updated to the newest 9.2 iTunes and did a 4.0 update to my iPhone 3G all the while not noticing that EVERYTHING IN iTUNES was GONE. When I got done updating my iPhone it was late so i went to bed... Next day came back to sync everything and thats when I saw it was all gone...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
did what the link said and NOW I have all my 6K+ MUSIC back but not ONE APP. The App's are completely gone from when you nav. to the location the link says... There isn't a mobile sync folder there...
NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT... Very Frustrated and MAD. I don't want to redownload all my apps manually. TO many to do it that way.

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

- 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.
