Whenever I try to sync my ipod touch, it doesn't work. The computer seems to get hung. What could be happening?

Whenever I try to sync my ipod touch, it doesn't work. The computer seems to get hung during the back up stage. It says it is backing up the ipod but nothing happens, for hours. I eventually have to interrupt it and give up.

I have the latest itunes.
I tried resetting sync history.
For this section:
If the issue persists, and you know all your contacts, calendars, bookmarks and notes are on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
Remove all of the contact and calendar information from Outlook.
Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
Scroll down to the Advanced section, and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" make sure Contacts and Calendars are not selected.
Click Apply.
This doesn't seem to make sense for my situation. I don't sync anything between outlook and my ipod touch.
I have no other USB devices connected to my computer.
I have no other Windows users on my computer - only me and I am the administrator. However on my diagnostic, it said this user is not the administrator. Weird.
So I have tried to follow that you referred me to, but still I haven't got it working yet. Do you have any further suggestions?

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!

Whenever I try to sync my iPod touch, a window appears and says that my iPod wasn't synced because an unknown error has occured (13019). Help?

Any suggestions on what I can do to fix the problem?
I've also noticed that it started deleting some of the music on my iPod touch, and so everything on it is screwed up.
I don't want to restore it because then I'll lose all the information on my apps. (Is there any way to recover that information along with the apps?) If I do restore it, will there be a chance that the error will occur again, otherwise I would have lost everything for nothing.
By the way, the software version of my iPod is 3.1, it's 2nd gen., and my iTunes version is very far behind from the new version currently available. Could that be part of the problem, too?

Try here:
iTunes: Error 13019 during sync
Not updating the iOS should not effect your problem.
As long as all the apps are in the iTunes library, you will not lose app data by updating the iOS.

Whenever I try to sync my iPod touch, it tells me that an unknown error has occured. (error no. 13019)

I need help! I want to sync up my ipod, but it won't let me. I recently got a new computer and transferred my music through homeshare. Some of my songs from my old computer don't show up in my library on my new computer (which is actually slightly older than the other I was using). Ever since my new computer, I have been having problems with syncing, but it hasn't been this bad. I can't add or delete songs from my iPod anymore. It says the problem is that this computer is not authorized to transfer certain songs, but when I try to authorize my computer, it tells me that this computer is already authorized. The error number that keeps popping up is 13019, if that helps. Thanks!

I have itunes 10.6.1.7. Whenever I try to sync my ipod touch 4g on windows 7 it says unable to load data class. I cant even go to preferences to reset the data sync because it keeps freezing. Can I have some help?

When I turn on itunes it starts to back up on step 2 and then just takes forever showing a candy cane bar thing.

Try here:
iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert

Hello brainiac08
Typically that error occurs because of a backup issue. Check out the article below to resolve it.

Are you using security software on your PC? If yes, try to disable the software or check the settings. More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

Whenever I try to sync my ipod, it'll say that it's syncing and then "waiting for changes to be applied" when it reaches step 5, then it closes and nothing happens. I don't know what to do :(

Hi, There
What do you mean nothing happends? because after step 5/5 the sync is complete and it should go back to the normal top screen of itunes. Is this what is happning? of is it freezing on step 5?

Every time I try to sync my iPod Touch, iTunes freezes?

Well, it's pretty self-explanatory. Every time I try to sync my iPod Touch (5th generation), iTunes freezes. It starts syncing for a few seconds, slows down, stops, then iTunes becomes unresponsive. If I don't force quit it, after a few minutes, iTunes is fine, but my device still hasn't synced. Any solutions/suggestions?

It sounds as if your account has been compromised. I would recommend logging into those accounts from your computer and their websites and changing your password.
