    B-rock, thanks for posting the above.  I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\.  When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
    I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
    I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message.  I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
    In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
    What am I doing wrong, can you help? 
    Thank you!

  • When try to connect my iPod touch 4th gen to my house Wifi it won't connect, it used to work fine but now it dosen't work, but it does say that the internet is available, but when I tap on it it just loads. all other devices work fine.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    You buy one and only one download.
    As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

    For other music you will have to get them from where you originally got them

  • When I try to connect my iPod touch I get an error message that the "phone" is not recognized, unknown error 0xE8000084.  Help

    I am using my husband's old iPod touch and when I try to connect it to iTunes I get that error message.  It is recognized in my computer as unspecified under Devices and Printers

    Thanks.  I had searched for that error message but had the whole number and nothing came up.  I followed the directions and now it is recognized.  The only thing I hadn't done before was to disconnect my external hard drive.  Go figure.

  • Tried using the usb for connecting my ipod touch but it does not seem to work.  any ideas???

    Cannot access ipod touch in my holden captiva 7.  I have tried using the usb port but nothing happens.

    If you are trying to listen to your iTunes library on your iPod in your car, you need an FM transmitter.

  • Can't sync iPod touch 5th gen, to iTunes 12, windows 8

    Hello,
    Recently, I wanted to sync my iPod, to my iTunes on my Windows 8 laptop (which I have done a few times previously).
    I plugged in my ipod with the USB cord, and I got a notification "Apple iPod, Tap to choose what happens to this device"
    When I click it this is what shows up:
    The only one that makes sense is to open with Dropbox, but nothing happens.
    I've clicked everything, and iTunes (which used to open automatically) has to be opened manually, and when I do, it doesn't show the iPod connected.
    I have looked through my computer, and I've gone on multiple sites, I really don't have a clue about technical stuff, Other than restarting my computer, Ipod, and re-installing iTunes, I don't know what to do.
    Also, one page on apple support said to look somewhere in Help, on iTunes, except there is no "Help" anywhere.
    A guide on how to actually navigate iTunes would be so helpful.
    Thanks in advance for your time

    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

  • Is it possible for the processor in the iPod touch 5th gen to slow down? Or even any type of handheld apple device? If so what is it? Please help.

    It feels like my iPod touch 5 has been a bit slow lately. All my apps are closed, I think there has been a day I don't use my iPod for like a week or two. Please help. Thanks so much for the help in advance.

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore
