Why does my ipod touch not automatically sync with itunes

When I connect my ipod touch to my laptop it says that it has sync'd on itunes but does not sync the music that I have downloaded onto my ipod touch!! I am going round in circles with the troubleshooting manual as the page on itunes that I have looks totally different to the page that is described in the manual. My laptop is new and Windows 7 and I have downloaded the latest version of itunes. My ipod touch is new as well. Can anyone help?

Do you have the right boxes checked to sync the media you want to sync?
iTunes 11 for Windows: Syncing overview
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer or se tup via wifi? If so you can only use the manual method and that only works with music and videos.If you want to use this computer as the one syncing computer you need to

IPod Touch no longer syncing with iTunes?

Mac OS X v10.4.11
- all software up to date
- iTunes 9.2.1 (5); no later updates available on this machine
iPod Touch v3.1.3
This iPod Touch used to sync to iTunes just fine and dandy. Now it won't. I'm seeing that *now* in order to sync I have to upgrade (i.e. get a new mac) to v10.5?
What gives?
Both used to sync fine and now they don't. Did Apple pull a fast one on me?

But my point is that one day it worked fine, and now it doesn't. Why would it stop working, if it once was supported? Did Apple push an update to my iPod which made it not supported by my machine? If so, that's pretty low.
If I buy a device and it works fine with my mac, it should stay working fine with my mac.

IPod Touch can't sync with iTunes.

I have an iPod Touch, 5th generation. After updating to iOS 7.0.4, I am no longer able to sync with iTunes, ver 11.1.3.8. It gets stuck on step 4 of 4, "waiting for changes to be applied". Before the update, there was no problem with syncing. Does anyone have a way to correct this issue? I am using Windows 7. I really haven't liked anything about iOS 7, is there anyway to go back to a previous operating system?

Ipod Touch won't sync with Itunes (error 45054)

Trying to sync an used Ipod Touch -- All data /settings have been erased. Computer recognizes but unable to sync with ITunes -- notes error 45054.

I Appreciate your responding to my inquiry but as all those answers were for Mac, I was discouraged.

Why does my iPod touch not work in hot climate

just returned from holiday and iPod touch would not work while sunbathing but was ok when returned to hotel room. Does it shut down if temperature is too hot?

Many thanks, Apple do indeed still sell the iPhone 4S however you are limited to 8GB which is quite restrictive but here's the link http://store.apple.com/uk/buy-iphone/iphone4s However new... Ebay, but check the seller, Carphone Warehouse but will be on contract and maybe Amazon, other than that I would do a bit of research and check if there are any other retailers, due to the popularity of the iPhone 4S it is rare to get a brand new high memory capacity phone, best of luck in your search

Why does my ipod touch not respond to my touch to slide open or shut off it off?

I was playing on the ipod and it went totally dead and i charged it and now it wont let me slide it open or wont shut it off the slide doesnt slide ?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why is my iPod Touch not being recognized in iTunes, Device Manager, or my entire computer?

I have had my iPod Touch since christmas and it is now June. The version is 4.1 and it's the one with the camera. My previous cord worked fine and I never had any problems with iTunes or my iPod before. I lost my cord for about a month (actually I have no clue how long) and my dad picked one up for me yesterday. It cam in a BELKIN package with the USB cord that plugs into a wall charger or car charger. So, I needed to upload my music and when I plugged my iPod in, I went to go sync the music, and I noticed the was no "Device" column in iTunes. So, I went into "My Computer" and didn't find it in (E:) where it always used to be. Then I searched the WHOLE computer and I couldn't find it anywhere. Then I searched for help online. Everything kept telling me to go to device manager and reinstall the device and blah blah blah. BUT IT'S NOT EVEN IN THE DEVICE MANAGER!! I couldn't find it anywhere in there! So like, is my iPod completely erased from my computer forever??? I tried restarting my iPod, my computer, and I made sure my iTunes was the lastest version. I also tried 3 different USB ports and none of them worked!      SO NOW WHAT!!?? Should I try a different USB cord?? Please help!!!
          Sincerely,
   Desparate Girl Who Loves Her iPod Dearly                      P.S. I have Windows XP.

You should get a genuine USB cord from Apple, to make sure your iPod 4G is supported correctly.
In addition to that see if Apple Mobile Device Service is still installed and active on your computer. More info in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

Why has my iPod Touch 4 Quit sync with Outlook Calendar?

My iPod Touch 4 is merely 93 days old. Suddenly on the day my 90 day support expired, I noticed that it was no longer syncing my Calenar with Outlook on my PC yet the Contacts seem to sync Ok. Any ideas what might be causing this development? Nothing was changed in the settings.

IPod Touch Backup, when syncing with iTunes 9

I have just switched to an Apple mac and now have a MacBook.
I copied the PC My Music folder to the Mac and dropped it over iTunes and successfully imported my library into iTunes on the MacBook.
When connecting my iPod Touch it asked me to confirm that I wanted the contents erasing and the current iTunes library syncing to the iPod Touch.
I answered yes and this was also successful.
My problem now is that when I connect the iPod Touch to the MacBook, it does recognise it and it does connect and it does start the backup before sync, but then the bckup runs very slowly and indeed so slow that it would take hours to actyally complete the backup if indeed it is working.\
I've checked that files are indeed being written to the Mobilesync Backup area and they are, but it's too slow.
Anybody got any ideas why this would be the case. My MacBook has 82+ GB free space and my iPod Touch is a 16GB device with 3+ gb free space.
Please forgive me in that I am an Apple MacBook newbie, although I have been successfully syncing the device with a Windows PC for some time prior to moving to a Mac.

Many thanks for your reply, however, it doesn't help me, because I have an iPod Touch with no camera and so the camera roll issue does not arise.
The sync process doesn't get to sync either, since it is in "Backup iPod" status and would be for what would be many hours, possibly as much as 24 hours.
Is this normal for a 1st Backup between a MacBook and an iPod Touch via USB to iPod cable provided with the iPod?
The iPod is about 14 months old and the MacBook is quite new, i.e. just a few months.

I need to transfer my music form my IPod Touch which is synced with ITunes to my IPhone 5 which is synced on the same computer

I had limited hard drive space on my old PC so I synced it to my IPod Touch. I have since bought a new computer and an IPhone 5. I was able to transfer the music back from the IPod Touch to the ITunes library on the new computer where the IPhone 5 is also synced, but I cannot transfer the music. When I open the IPhone in ITunes and ask it to syn the music, ITunes wants to delete all my contacts and notes. Is there a way to import my IPhone 5 contents into the IPod ITunes library and then syn my IPhone with that library which would also have my music?

Morning @mb,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:

iTunes cannot transfer this media back to a computer. Make sure to back up your iTunes Library, or you can use iTunes Match2.
Best of luck,

New iPod Touch won't sync with iTunes as iTunes hangs

Hello,
I got a new iPod Touch yesterday after my old iPod Video died. Brought it home, connected it and all seemed fine until iTunes (that had worked flawlessly for years) just stopped (app stops responding).
I can kill the app and restart and it just starts over again, but never gets all the way thru sync.
I looked for a newer version but says I've got the latest.
Any suggestions? Don't suppose I can sync via WiFi?
thanks,
Chris

Hey Chris, I got this off iPhonenano.net
Occasionally your iPhone or iPod touch starts syncing when you connected it to your Mac only to drop out of the sync process. Even worse, once the cycle stops, it continues every time you plug your handheld in. This fix is fairly easy, but you won't find it in iTunes. You'll know know if you are suffering from this little headache because your iPhone or iPod touch will begin the sync process, but stops unexpectedly. iTunes will display a dialog warning you that your handheld stopped communicating and the sync process was cancelled. Here's how to break the cycle so and sync as normal again:
Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your Mac/Pc
After the sync process fails, launch iSync. You can find it in your Applications folder.
Select iSync > Preferences.
Click the Reset Sync History button.
iSync will display a dialog explaining what happens when you reset the sync history. Go ahead and click the second Reset Sync History button.
Quit iSync.
Now you should be able to sync your iPhone or iPod touch again without any hassles. Since your sync history has been reset, your first post-rest sync may take longer than you expect. Depending on how much information is stored on your handheld, that could be a few extra seconds or several minutes.
Hope this helps,
Arnie

I have an iPod touch and iPhone synced with iTunes, however when I connect my iPhone it always downloads the apps from the iPod to the iPhone which I don't want to happen. This is a recent thing and I need to know how to stop this.

Can anyone help with the problem above?

With your phone connected, under the Apps tab, remove the check in the box labeled "Automatically Sync New Apps".
