Title: iPod Touch/iTunes won't sync my games
Post by: kat on August 20, 2011, 02:23:07 AM
Question: Why won't my iPod Touch sync my games or even recognise my iPod is plugged in?

Problem Description: Assuming there aren't other issues causing this (bad cables, loose connections etc.), iTunes just stops recognising or seeing an iPod Touch even though it's properly connected via USB. Problem occurs regardless of iTunes version, or whether being used on a Mac or PC, preventing games or other Apps from being sync'd between the two. Commonly, this seems to "just happen, one day it worked, next day it doesn't".

Problem Fix: The problem itself appears to be an Apple Mobile Device driver issue (failure) that happens as a result of repeatedly unplugging/plugging in the iPod Touch without using iTunes own "Eject" feature. Do this enough times (un/plug the device) and the problem will occur.
