Why won't my Ipod touch 4th generation no longer sync to my computer?

My Ipod touch 'used to sync' to the computer. It was recently reset at BestBuy. Could this have caused a problem?

What happens when you try?
Error message?
What does it say?
Can you provide any info at all?

  • Why won't my iPod touch (4th gen) no longer connect to wifi?

    Yesterday I noticed that my iPod Touch (4th generation) was no longer connected to my home wifi. It can see the network, but it won't connect. There is no error message of any kind, but the spinning wheel thing comes up to the left of the network name and it won't quit. I took my iPod to work today (as I normally do), and it did not join the network there either. Same thing- it saw the network, but would not join. What can I do to fix this problem?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    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.

  • 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.

  • My iPod Touch 4th Generation isn't syncing with iTunes?

    My iPod Touch 4th Generation refuses to sync with iTunes. Everytime I try to sync it says "Sync session failed to start". How do I fix this?

  • My ipod touch 4th generation no longer holds it's charge for more than 40mins,needs new internal battery but I have no idea how to go about this. i love my ipod and don't want it to loose power completely, can anyone help?

    My ipod touch 4th generation no longer holds it's charge for more than 40mins from full power, think it needs a new internal battery but have no idea how to go about this and am no longer covered by my guarantee. Can anyone advise me on what's best? Thanks in advance

    Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
    Use an Apple wall-mount charger.  Do NOT use a computer's USB port.  Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).  An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
    I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem.  I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
    According to Apple:
    Use Your iPod Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

  • 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.

  • Okay my iPod touch 4th generation will not sync. I reinstalled iTunes . Can someone please tell me what to do?!?!?! Oh would there be any chance that me letting my friend use my sync cord could've messed it up???

    I need some help. I want to sync my iPod touch 4th generation and it WILL NOT sync. I reinstalled iTunes and it still won't sync. I also let my friend use my sync cord, could that have anything to do with my problem?? I really need some help. So please answer me back if you know what could be wrong.

    Could be the cable.  Have you tried:

  • IPod touch 4th generation will not sync with iTunes, but shows up in Windows 7 64bit(Acer Aspire laptop)

    Hello all, I am writing this message in the hope that somebody can help me to solve my issue with my iPod touch fourth generation. It has been unable to sync with iTunes, but shows up in windows as the iPod touch. I also had this problem with my older iPods as well (Ipod nano 4th Gen, iPod touch 2nd gen(Batteries done for that one)) I can sync music with iCloud, but I have a bunch of songs that are not in the store, and I sincerely want to add those, alot.
    I've checked the "iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes" with the link here: (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363), and followed that process, but to no avail, it does not solve the problem. I've tried to reset the entire ipod by making it enter DFU mode and then rebooting the entire iPod (shows up in iTunes in temporary mode) but once restored, does not appear in iTunes, but still in Windows detected still as a iPod, looks like the iPod and everything. I also have the most uup-to-date iTunes installed (10.5 I believe, just got it today)
    This is extremely frustrating because that is why I purchased the iPod (and for the games and apps, those are great too). The iPod was also purchased three days ago, and the setup still didn't detect it.  I am not mad at anybody here or the Apple company itself, but I have not found any help online with the browsing option (for support of course).
    Please, I would absolutely love the help, i'd be eternally grateful for it.

    Never mind, turns out that by uninstalling the programs "Megakey" and "Megaupload" it had resolved this issue.

  • My brand new iPod Touch 4th generation will not sync with iTunes on my Windows Vista computer!  Please help!

    I have tried every trick in the book and read every thread on why my version of Windows Vista will not allow me to get at the iTunes Store.  I cannot even get this new iPod Touch to sync with iTunes. 
    I've rebooted, soft restart, hard restart, removed iTunes and re-installed iTunes.  Nada...nothing!
    Does anyone else have the same issue and can they offer me a solution?

  • IPod Touch 4th Generation unable to sync with iTunes v.12

    To whom this may concern,
    I am struggling to sync an iPod 4G with IOS 6.1.6 with the latest version of iTunes 12  installed on my computer.
    Essentially the problem was initially was that the device was recognized and I was able to access the summary. It came up saying that it was overcapacity to sync anything new onto the device.  I have used the forums to find a solution to no avail. (I was unable to remove anything from the Ipod as the message did not change)
    I tried to restore the Ipod which has not worked, as the device is no longer recognised on Itunes and comes up on Windows 7 as 'Apple Ipod' as opposed to 'so and so's iPod''.
    I am wondering if manually resetting the Ipod from the Ipod itself would help so that it would be recognised on the Itunes (which I have reinstalled twice, thiking that was the problem).
    I use windows 7 and have Itunes 12. It has become incredibly annoying and would like this problem fixed. 

    Try DFU mode and then restore via iTunes

  • My ipod touch (4th generation) will not sync to my mac

    I have not had problems syncing my ipod to my mac before. I followed the troubleshooting guide to sync the ipod to the computer that was on the apple support website, but I still have the same problem.
    When I plug it in via USB it charges, but does not register in iTunes. Both my mac and my itunes have the latest software updates. I have tried restarting both my mac and my ipod and still nothing changes. Again, I have never had this problem before, so I'm not too sure what to do. Please let me know if you think you have an answer to my problem.
    Thanks,
    Kelli

    So you tried everthing here:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Have you tried another USB port?
    Another cable?
    Another computer?

  • My ipod touch, 4th generation, will not sync to my ipod. Help please?

    Title says it all. Help please

    What happens when you try? Error message?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library before?
    If yes, have you done anything since then?

  • My iPod Touch 5th Generation no longer connects to my computer

    It used to work, but now it doesn't. When I plug the wire into the wall, it works just fine, but I can't update any of my music anymore. I have only had the thing for about four months. I would appreciate if there was a solution that didn't require buying a new cable.

    Does it charge when connected to the computer? Some Lightning cables have faild after short use.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If the cable is defective, Apple will replace it at no cost if it was not abused..
