Why does my iPod touch (4th Gen) no longer sync with my computer?

So...
One day I had downloaded 2 new songs to my iTunes library and I wanted to put them on my iPod so I connected it and it wouldn't sync...
Both my iPod and iTunes are fully updated.
I have tried everything such as:
Restarting my iPod
Restarting my Computer
Using a different wire
Restoring my device
Manually selecting which music I want
Deleting all the music and trying to put it back
Nothing...
And my music means a lot to me so I'm very distressed.
This has been going on for about a week now...
My iPod won't even back up...
PLEASE HELP. THANKS.

Assuming a PC
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or                     
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • HT1975 why does my ipod touch 4th gen can't detect my location?

    why does my ipod touch 4th gen can't detect my location? i thought it was because updating foursquare. i have erased and restored its settings, but i was able to use my foursquare before even after the restoration, but now it's not working even my location services is on. Though, it can detect location in other areas, but it cant detect my location at home when before it used to check-in using foursquare.

    No, the iPhone can determine location by GPS and cell tower locations neither of which the iPod can do.  So the fact that it works on the iPhoe does not tell you anything.  It could be that your router is not in Apple's database.  In that case you will just have to wait until they add it.  Try using a public wi-fi source to see if location works there.

  • My ipod touch(4th gen)no longer syncs to itunes 10.7 via USB

    My ipod touch(4th gen)no longer syncs to itunes 10.7 via usb. i knew it didn't work via wifi with the new updates but this is too far. i can't see it in itunes at all anymore. i restarted my ipod already still with no results. the only thing i did is create and delete playlist from the ippd and deleted others from itunes as well. i've done it before but this time i assume it's led to this. any suggestions?

    Disregard. It seems i just needed to install an optional update with windows update. either that or just restart my computer instead of my ipod. silly me.

  • My ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes, OSX

    My 8gb ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes. Running itunes 11.4 on OSX 10.6.8
    My touch was running fine until one day I found about 3gb occupied by 'other' space. I ended up restoring my ipod which took care of the problem, but created a new one in that the ipod will no longer sync anything from my itunes library. I have music set up to sync selected artists, and when I click the checkboxes to select my albums and artists to sync, the 'audio' bar fills up.
    When I click 'apply', the 'starting sync' and progress bar pop up for like half a second then disappear. Same goes with photos, apps, podcasts, etc.

    Verify that you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • TS2771 Why does my ipod touch 4th gen not have any sound when on dock?

    My daughter's ipod touch 4th gen did work on a dock and no longer does. I have read a number of pieces of advice - download an update of iTunes, reset to original settings, neither seems to have helped. As it is less than 12 months old, do you think I return this as it is still under warranty? She got a dock for Christmas and is VERY disappointed that her iPod does not work on it, even though her old CHinese copy of an ipod (1st) will work on the dock. HELP!

    Try:
    - 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.
    - Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • Why does my ipod touch 4th gen battery life drain so quick

    I've had my iPod touch for a few years now, but recently The battery life drains very fast, even if I go on one app it goes down half way after charging it full, I don't know why? My iPod will last me 30-1hour, is there a way of fixing this? :-)

    Try:
    - 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.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem that indicates a hardware problem. Likely a bad battery.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new batter for $79. They do not fix yours.

  • Ipod Touch 4th Gen will not sync with Itunes 11.1

    I upgraded my Itunes to the latest version, now I can't get Ipod touches to sync that are 4th gen. Any help?

    I FINALLY got it to sync. I had to unplug and restart my computer 3x's then it worked and went like a charm. It was getting to step 2 of 5 in the sync then just freezing. I let it run for 15+ hours the first day.
    I do have to ask though since I have a knowledgable person:
    My son's Ipod touch broke so I bought a refurbished one. How can I change the ID on Itunes or his touch to reflect his Ipod?

  • IPod Touch 2nd gen no longer syncs with itunes?

    I just recently upgraded to Snow Leopard.
    Now my ipod touch won't sync to itunes. It syncs with iphoto, although I can't put new albums on it. It doesn't allow me to 'sync ipod' in the itunes menu. And it doesn't automatically sync like it used to. I can't even update my ipod to a newer version, because it won't sync.
    I also don't know if I can update to the newer 5.0 system, as this is an older ipod touch. (2nd generation)
    Please help. Do I have to reinstall itunes, etc. to get this to work??

    - A 2G iPod can only go to iOS 4.2.1

  • HI my ipod touch 4th gen wont start sync with itunes.

    Itunes recognises the ipod but keeps saying sync session failed to start. It starts off as though it is going to sync by saying step 1of 8 but times out after a few minutes without syncing very frustrating. Any ideas would be welcome. I have restored the ipod and re-installed Itunes

    If it stops while trying to backup (step 1 or 2) , try to delete the latest backup in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices. If iTunes can't read the backup, it can't replace it and start the sync process.
    Check this article about the location of the backup folder, you might want to back it up before you delete the backup. iTunes: About iOS backups

  • My IPOD touch 4th gen will only sync my gmail contacts from the computer to the device.  If I create a contact on the ipod it does not sync to the computer

    My ipod touch 4th gen will only sync my gmail contacts created on the computer.  It does not sync the contacts if they are created on the ipod.  HELP!

    I'm having the same problem with my girl's ipod 4th generation's. I have restored them 4 times now. It works fine after the restore but the very next time it will no longer sync and I have to do the restore again. It's becoming very frustrating.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen won't pair with bluetooth audio receiver?

    My ipod touch 4th gen won't pair with my aluratech istream universal bluetooth audio receiver.  It automatically paired the first time I used it, but now will not pair.  I removed the bluetooth receiver from the ipod because it kept saying make sure the receiver device is on and within range.  Now it doesn't even detect the bluetooth receiver.  Any ideas?

    Thank you!  We got the bluetooth receiver to use with our car stereo and our motorcycle stereo and were very frustrated when it quit working.  Thank you for helping me solve the problem!

  • New ipod suffle 4th gen will not sync with cd import

    my new ipod suffle 4th gen will not sync with cd import,through itunes,other computer has no itunes

    I'm not sure how the "other computer" is relevant, but on the computer with iTunes, you probably need to update the iPod's settings for automatic syncing, or load the new songs from CD manually.
    In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  The shuffle appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected.  Select it there.  The shuffle's Summary screen is shown to the right.  There is a checkbox for Manually manage music there.  Is that setting currently checked or not checked? 
    If it is checked, your iPod is set to add and remove songs manually.  It does not use automatic syncing to update content.  This is how to manually add and remove songs from an iPod.
    To add songs manually...  Show a song list in iTunes.  For example, select Music under LIBRARY in the sidebar, to show your main music library list.  Drag a song from the song list to the iPod in the sidebar.  You can do this with more than one song selected, such as the songs from that "CD import."  Alternately, right-click on the selection and choose the command Add to Playlist -> [name of your iPod].
    To remove songs manually...  Click on the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the iPod.  Click on Music there.  The list of songs on the iPod is shown to the right.  Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard.  You can do this with more than one song selected.
    NOTE:  If Manually manage music is currently not checked, your iPod is set to use automatic syncing.  Please post back for info on setting up or updating the iPod's automatic sync settings.  When automatic syncing is enabled, you make iTunes responsible for keeping your iPod "in sync" with your iTunes library.
