I still cannot sync my iTouch to my desktop, I still receive the “The iPod “Bryan’s iTouch” cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to” error.
To summarize, again, here is everything I’ve tried:
- Restore to previous backup
- Restore to brand new iPod Touch
- Re-register ddls
- Delete photo cache
- Re-start Apple Mobiel service and Uninstall Apple Mobile driver and re-install it
- Different USB ports, including USB ports on a PCI card
- Tried the “Scan Hardware” or “Unplug/replug a USB device” while syncing trick
- Performed DFU restores
- Purge iTunes to hell (uninstalled completely, ran a registry cleaning program, reinstall iTunes)
However, I have found a solution! Not the solution that I necessarily wanted, but it works! My iTouch syncs perfectly to both my laptop and my mom’s laptop. Therefore the problem therein lies with my desktop and I have no idea what else I can do to fix the problem. I have since started syncing to my laptop with zero problems for about two weeks now.
Unfortunately, this solution results in another problem: my iTunes library of music is on my desktop, not my laptop. However, I have a theoretical solution! If I put my music on a share accessible by both computers (i.e. lets say the M:\ drive on both computers points to the same location of music) and keep the two library.xml files on the computers synced with each other then I should be able to retain ratings, playlists, etc. between both computers. I have not had time to try this out yet, but it should work in theory. The only downside to this is that you would only be able to have one library open at a time and must sync them everytime you would want to open the library on the other machine.
Although this was not my desired solution, I am just now very happy to be able to keep my iTouch synced to any machine.
