Why won't my iPod Touch sync before iTunes crashes?

Last night, I tried to sync my new iPod Touch for the first time. I plugged it in and iTunes recognized it, and the 6 step process began. However, every time it reaches the 2nd step iTunes will shut down all by itself. It is very frustrating since it is a new iPod and iTunes works decently before. Help?
I have also tried re-installing iTunes on the same computer, and the same problem occured. MAybe it was just me, but I am not sure what else to do.

If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar.  Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.
Then

  • Why won't my iPod touch sync with iTunes?

    I recently bought a new song and wanted to put it on my iPod.  Every time I went to sync it "timed out" and wouldn't show up on my iPod (ie the sync failed).  I tried updating iTunes.  My iPod won't get any new updates since its 2nd generation.  I've tried the diagnostics and everything checks out okay there.  My computer is up to date.  I thought I'd try to do a restore and now I have less songs and none of my apps.  It's now getting "stuck" on other songs from my collection.  Any help?

    Okay, so I think it may be the cable b/c when I hold it just right it works much better.  It still will get stuck on certain songs but when I try again it works.

  • Why won't my iPod Touch sync music?

    I bought a new Pod touch, 8GB - Black (4th generation).

    I stopped Cloud service a week ago.
    Please help/
    Thank you.

    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs? (iTunes purchases only)

  • Why can't my ipod touch sync with itunes 11?

    I am currently using an iphone 5 and an ipod touch 3rd generation. I had to upgrade my itunes to sync my iphone but now I can no longer sync and back up my ipod touch. I'm not sure if it's because my itunes is too advanced for my ipod which is using IOS 5(I think). I remember I used to be able to put songs in and all but now itunes keeps asking me to restore it to factory setting which I do no want to do every time I want to add music. Is there any way to fix this problem? Or do I really have to restore my ipod every time? Please Help.

    Something happened and yo have to restore via iTunes. Backup to iTunes if yo can and then restore from that backup
    All old devices can sync with the newest iTunes

  • Why won't my ipod touch sync all my playlists (like 25 top played or recently added)?

    I have tried to sync my iPod and it won't sync all of the playlists.  For example it won't sync the 25 most played or the recently added, it won't add any of the playlists that iTunes makes.  The playlists are still in my itunes library but they do not show up on my iPod.  Even the purchased playlist is letting me delete or edit the list but it never has before. 

    Do you have any restirctions set on your ipod in Settings/General/Restrictions/ ->App Installation?

  • HT1386 why my 4th gen iPod touch syncs the movies again?

    After iOS6 update, why my 4th gen iPod touch syncs the movies again? It used to sync with iTunes just the new one I marked. Now it seems to syncs the whole set of movies I have. Why?

    When you connect the i-touch to your computer do you notice the "Other" portion of the space on your itouch may be over .5gb?
    The average space for the "Other" portion is roughly less then .5 GB ... Its the yellow bar in i-tunes when your i-touch is connected ... I had the same issue where the "Other" portion of my i-touch 4 was reading like 5.5 GB, I did some research and found that that space is actually not free space at all, its actually full of left over files and such.
    The way to decrease the size is to back up what you have, and restore it.  then reinstall all the apps and music and videos.  You will notice all that yellow bar is almost gone, and you will have a lot more space!

  • Why won't my ipod touch gen 5 play audio on my Sony speaker dock

    Why won't my ipod touch gen 5 play audio on my Sony RDP-X30iP speaker dock. I have bought a lightning adapter and find that there is no audio from the speaker dock and the dock does not charge the ipod.

    - Reset the dock
    - Go to Sony's support site and check to see if they say it will work with a 5G iPod touch (w/adopter).
    Also look for a firmware update.
    Sometimes this works:
    - 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.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    Or, it just may not be compatible.

  • Why won't my iPod Touch sinc Calendar via iCloud since I downloaded iOS7?

    I downloaded iOS7 to my iPod Touch.  Before that, I had no problems with my calendar syncing via iCloud. With the new iOS7 I have no entries on my calendar on my iPod.  My iPad is fine.  I know I could go in to iTunes and manually sync my calendar, but I don't want duplicates.  Anybody have any suggestions?  I can't find an answer on the internet.  Thanks!   Susy

    On the iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Calendars off then back on.
    Give iCloud a minute or two to re sync the data.
