When I try to sync my ipod to itunes it automatically backs up my ipod.

Which when it trys to back it up it freezes. Is there a way to sync my ipod without backing it up? My ipod has been connected to itunes for over 18 hours and has made no progress.

Try deleting or moving to a save place the existing backup file. It is located here:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
You have to have Show Hidden files turned on.
You can just delete it by going to Preferences in iTunes and deleting the backup by going to the Devices tab.

When I try to sync my apps to itunes nothing appears in the left hand column and i can't sync or remove them...why?

When I try to sync my apps to itunes a pop up appears that says itunes will no longer sync apps to my ipod. Then it gives me an option to either keep my apps or remove them. No matter what i press nothing happens either way. None of my apps ever appear in the left-hand column either. Why is that ?

What about the answer to my other question:
Is this the computer you synced with last time?

When I try to sync my iphone with itunes, it tells me a warning that I don't have enough memory and yet the status bar at the bottom says that I do and I know that I have enough memory. What's the problem? It happens with the ipods and ipad as well!!!

The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.

If you're on a Mac, you need to upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.3 and then 10.6.8, which requires that it has an Intel CPU and at least 1GB of RAM.

On you iPhone, force close all the Apps in the multitask window.
Follow these steps to force an app to close:
From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
Tap and hold on the app.
When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it one by one until all cleared
Now do a Soft reset of your iPhone:
Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release. After it returns to Home screen, connect to sync and see if this resolves the issue.

I had iTunes on my pc. The Pc crashed and everything is gone. When I try to sync my phone to iTunes on my new mac laptop it says it will erase everything on the phone. How do I get the items on the phone into iTunes?

Hello,
I had my itunes on my pc. When it crashed I lost everything there. I have an itunes on the new mac but it does not have the content that was in the old itunes. When I try to sync or upgrade to the 5, it says that I will lose all my information on the phone.

I had the same problem, and tried what you did. Then just uninstalled Quick Time and didn't reinstall as someone on here advised. Still did not open. Then ejected a disc I forgot I had inserted this morning to copy a song on to and iItunes opened.

Why do i get error 13010 when i try to sync my ipad with iTunes?

Hi,
I am getting the error "13010" when ever i try to sync my ipad with iTunes. I looked around for a solution on the net. Someone asked me to delete the "iTunes Library Genius" file from iTunes folder and re-start iTunes. That didn't work for me. Someone also asked to go to Task Manager and terminate the program iTuneshelper. That didn't seem to help either. Kindly give me a solution if any.
Thanks

Hey ronfromroanoke,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
These articles should be able to make sure the computer and devices are allowed to work.
