Ipod Touch 4th Generation won't sync- Help?

Hi,


I have an iPod 4th Generation.

I understand that the iOS 6.1.3 software update is the most 'updated' this generation of iPod can be, but I have noticed that I am unable to sync with the itunes currently on my PC.

I have been using Pandora for music (being as I have no music on my iPod) but I would like to be able to get music on my ipod as to use it outside of my home.

I have not yet synced this iPod to the itunes on this PC, it would've been the first time had I not run into issues.


Thank you for your help

iPod touch (4th generation), iOS 6.1.3

What happens when you try to sync?

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?

If the iPod was synced with another computer/iTunes library then yo can:

- Sync only music and vidoe susing the manual method specified in the link above.

- Make this copmuter/iTunes library your syncing computer in order you to sync al media to the iPod.

Thanks for your prompt response,


When I try to sync with itunes, itunes runs through 5 steps,

1: Waiting for sync to start.

2: Backing up

3: Preparing to sync & Preparing diagnostic information

4: Transferring purchases

and then 5 closes out too quickly for me to read.


Yes, the iPod was synced to multiple computers, in fact, and I never had a problem until now.


No, like I said before,

'I have not yet synced this iPod to the itunes on this PC, it would've been the first time had I not run into issues.'


Yes, the songs play in itunes on the PC.


Yes, being as I have NO music at all on my iPod, I want all the music that is on this itunes.


How do I go about the following:

'If the iPod was synced with another computer/iTunes library then yo can:

- Sync only music and vidoe susing the manual method specified in the link above.

- Make this copmuter/iTunes library your syncing computer in order you to sync al media to the iPod.'?
