Will not Sync Apps from iPod Touch to MacBook Pro

I have a MacBook Pro 17" running the latest OS and latest iPod Touch. When I tried to backup the iPod Apps to the MacBook I get the following errors. I have the de-authorized and reset the "iTunes/Store/Authorize This Computer" several times as suggested in several posts but still all I get is the following:
*Some of the purchased items on the iPod "XXXX", including Y! Messenger", could not be transferred to your iTunes library because you are not authorized for them on this computer.*
and
*To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize This Computer.
This computer is already authorized. Including this one, you have authorized one computer out of your available 5.*
I'm stuck, I have done all this(de-authorized and authorized) several times, I can't upgrade my iPod OS, I can't save my iPod Apps using Sync to my MacBook and what I have found so far on posts leave this same result.
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Could the items not transferring have been purchased under a difference iTunes account and thus you are not authorizing the the computer with the correct iTunes account?
You can redownload apps directly to your computer at no additional cost by following:

How come my imsg is not syncing properly between iPod touch and Macbook pro?

My imsgs are recieved on my macbook and they used to be simultaneously sent to my ipod too. But now they don't show up as imsg notifications on my ipod, only macbook. When I click in the conversation on my ipod I see the new messages, but I only get a notification on my macbook. How do I fix this so that a notification pops up on both devices?

Sign out of iMessage on both devices, then sign back in.

My new iPhone 3G will not sync with my iPod Touch 3G

I was pretty well assured that under my same iTunes account I would sync my Apps, music library, etc with out problem. I'm not sure if there's a setting I'm missing somewhere? The other thing is the iPod Touch is gone, so I have my library. Any advise? Thank you in advance!

What do you mean your "iPhone 3G will not sync with my iPod Touch 3G"? You don't sync an iPhone with an iPod - you sync directly to iTunes.
Just plug the iPhone into the computer with your iTunes Library on it and sync it as normal. Everything that is in that iTunes Library under that iTunes Account will be synced to the iPhone, in exactly the same way as you synced your iPod touch.

Apps will not sync to my Ipod touch

I read through the other question about the apps not syncing to the ipod touch. I then realized that I do not have the Applications tab on my Itunes. I also just recently downloaded the new Itunes as well. Not sure how to get the applications tab or how to get them to sync without it.

Two questions, have you ever been able to Sync Apps to his Touch and have you *enabled restrictions* on his Touch?
On the Touch, go into the Settings/General/Restrictions menu and look for *Installing Apps* on that list. If you have set restrictions on, *Installing Apps* is set to On as a default (on my Touch anyway), so you need to turn off the Apps one, at least until you have installed the ones you are prepared to let him have.

ITunes will not sync podcasts with iPod touch

I've tried just about everything I know and consulted the internet, but I cannot get iTunes to sync my podcasts with my iPod Touch. It will sync my music, but it simply will not sync any of my podcasts. It must be something simple, but I've exhausted my knowledge on this issue. It worked fine on my desktop, but when I tried to move it over to my laptop, it just wouldn't work, no matter what I try. Call me an idiot or whatever you need to do if this is something stupid, but please, help me get my podcasts back!

There's a good guide here on how to roll back to 10.7 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4559563?tstart=0

HT1386 Why can't I sync tv shows to ipod touch. I tried to watch vampire diaries but it will not sync to my ipod touch.

Songs that I recently added to my iTunes (not purchased from iTunes store) will not sync with my iPod touch 4th generation. How can I fix this?

I typically download my music directly from youtube. I have never had any issue when it came to putting it on my ipod touch (4th generation). However, today, I downloaded a couple of songs, added them to my iTunes (11.1.4). When I hit "sync" it said at the top that it was "Synching iPod: Steps 1of 3." It went through these steps incredibly quickly, a matter of seconds really, and I went to check it they had synced. They had not. I tried this several times before uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. Even with the re-install, it does not work. I am wondering if it is because these songs were not downloaded directly from the iTunes store. i tried downloading a song from the iTunes store and it is currently in my iPod, so I know that it is able to sync music. I just started using this version of iTunes as I just installed it on the laptop I just bought (windows 8).

Was the iPod setup via iTunes on this computer?
Setup via wifi?
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?

How come the apps that I downloaded will not sync onto my Ipod touch?

Well recently I was really wanted to have apps on my ipod touch. (Its iOS is 5.1.1)

Do the apps require IOS level greater than IOS-5?

I got a new laptop and now all my music will not sync to my iPod touch. How do i fix this??

My old latop crashed and now i am using a laptop from work. i signed into my apple account. I downloaded 4 cds to my iTunes, and restored and updated my iPod touch 3rd generation. i tried syncing all the music on my account to my iPod, and it will only sync 48 of 600 or so songs. The 48 songs are from the 4 CDs. How do I get all of my previous music which does show up into my iTunes music library to sync to my iPod. HELP

While that may work9I do not think it will) with iTunes purchased music it will not work for other music.
- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.

ITunes not syncing Apps on iPod Touch

My iPod Touch 3rd generation, model A1318 is running iOS 5.1 (latest for the model I believe).
I have the latest iTunes 11.2.2.3 running on Windows 8.1.1 running on a new computer and it is authorized to the Apple Store.
The apps update fine into iTunes on the computer, but when iTunes syncs to the iPod, only music syncs, the updated apps do not.
iTunes "knows" they are to be updated ("Update" displayed alongside the updated apps) and Automatically install is checked, but during sync, the apps never appear in iTunes progress bar and the apps don't get updated to the iPod.
Apps updated fine on my old XP system, but not on the new Windows 8.1 system.
Any help on this would be much appreciated - it is driving me nuts!

I may have found the answer.
I checked each of the Apps that needed updating, and they all listed that they needed an iOS version 6 or 7 - higher than the 5.1.1 that my iPod supports.
If this is the issue, it would be nice if there was some message or indication that this was the case.

Album artwork will not sync with my Ipod Touch

I have the latest 8GB Ipod Touch. I have gone into the info setting and changed the settings so that I can copy/paste album artwork not found by Apple. The problem is this artwork will show up prior to be synced but once I synce my Ipod the artwork will not show up. Can someone help me figure out how to fix this? Thank you for your help!!!!!!!

Have you checked on your iPod Touch to make sure that Podcasts are not restricted?
Look on the iPod in Settings/General/Restrictions. If it is on, go into the Restrictions and check to see what specific restrictions you have for Podcasts.
If it is not on, check again when you connect your iPod to your iTunes Library.
When the Device appears on the left hand side, select Device. You are now on the Summary pane. At the top of the window, you will see Summary selected. Look to the right for the Podcasts pane and select that. On this pane are the Podcast Sync options.

IBooks will not sync to my iPod touch?

I have an iPod touch 2nd generation running iOS 4.2.1, and I noticed some of the books I wanted on my iPod were on my computer, but not on my iPod. I tried to sync them, but each time it says it has finished syncing extremely quickly, and the books do not appear. I'm running iTunes 10.3.1 Beta on Windows 7, could it be a bug perhaps? I just want to make sure it's sorted out for when I get my iPad 2, because I'd like to transfer all the books I downloaded. I'm also running the latest version of iBooks.
Thanks!

Doesn't matter now, I found out how to fix it. It had stowed the books away in my iPod's memory, but they just didn't show up in iBooks. So I told iTunes not to sync them, then I synced my iPod, then told it to put them back on, and synced my iPod, and they came up in iBooks.

When syncing Contacts, does IPod Touch or MacBook Pro take priority?

- I want to sync my Contacts between my IPod Touch and my MacBook Pro. -
- A message says that my MacBook Pro contacts will be changed 5% if I proceed. -
- I want my MacBook Pro Contacts to override my IPod Touch Contacts, not the other way around. -
- Any advice on how to accomplish this? -
- Thanks. -

With the iPod connected to the computer go to the Info pane under the iPod (device). At the bottom there is an Advance section. That section includes the option (check boxes) to replace specific information on the iPod with that on the computer. Is that want you want?

Copy photos from ipod touch to macbook pro?

I'm having the most incredibly difficult time trying to do this. When I connect my ipod touch (latest gen) to a windows machine, it opens up a folder with all the files on the ipod, including "camera" videos and photos. But when I hook it up to my mac, there's NOTHING. I can't even manually find a folder with the contents. I have screenshots and downloaded wallpapers on my ipod that I want to get out of the "downloaded" section, save onto my computer, and re-upload them to my ipod in the regular "photos" section.
Can someone please tell me how to do this? I tried to google it and all I got were "free trial programs" and stuff like that. -_-
