5th Gen restarting during sync

Apple replaced my 30g video today after my old one completely fried. When I connected the new ipod to my computer to load songs, i had a problem
iPod connects, iTunes recognizes and displays the inital screen where you choose a name for the iPod. It then starts the transfer process. No problem. Then after a random amount of transfer, (i've tried this a few times) the ipod restarts itself. (off, apple comes up, and goes back to 'do not disconnect' screen) This of course ruins the transfer process and it all has to start over. The ipod continues to do this, i can't get it to finish the process.
Did they give me another defective iPod? Could it be a windows issue? Any thoughts?
Thanks a lot,

Copy all the contents currently on your iPod Classic to your new iTunes library and then choose the Erase and Sync option. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

IPod Touch 5th Gen will not sync all my music.

I have a 5th Gen. iPod touch, 32 GB. I moved my iTunes music onto another remote HD - the original was about to let go. I the went back to re-sync. Now the device will only sync part of my manually selected list.I have selected 2632 songs (as displayed in iTunes) with only 816 syncing. This is not due to missing music - no warning for that. I have reset the iPod, erased the music separately from it, cleared the iPod completely and reloaded everything. Even a restore from my computer. No go. FYI - No iCloud; everything via USB. Suggestions? Comments?

Yes, regarding space. When I first reset the memory; it had 3 GB of room. I didn't add any other music or applications.
Do the non-sync songs play? Well; I thought they did. However, as I try to play them I get a message about not being able to locate the songs. I did change the path in the Preferences section. And - it looks like it found files one I manually told it to look. I'm going to re-sync and see what happens.

Ipod Touch 5th Gen, 64gb Not syncing all music.

First ipod,used 5th gen 30gb, restored, synced, everything looks fine except no sound!

Used 5th gen ipod 30gb classic. Restored, synced and everything looks fine....except there is no sound! Is it damaged or is there something I can do? I am just learning...can anyone help me? Thanks

Does Kenwood say it will work with a 5G iPod (or iiPhone 5)?
Did the iPhones have iOS 7? Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility
Sometimes this works
Try:
- 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:

How do I get entire library onto new computer without old ipod (stolen) or old computer (died)? When I plugged in my new ipod 5th gen, it only synced purchases.

How do I get entire library onto new computer without old ipod (stolen) or old computer (died)? I just bought an ipod 5th gen and when I plugged it in, it only synced purchases.

You restore the media to your new computer using the backup you made of your old computer before it died. You did backup your computer, right?

Ipod 5th Gen won't sync?

This is the 3rd Ipod i have attached to my Itunes, but for some reason it won't sync?
I've removed all of the previous devices from the account, but it just gets stuck at Step 6 (waiting for changes to be applied) and then cuts out. I had this for christmas, but i don't think i've managed to sync a single track yet. The only way i can get music onto it is to go through my "purchased" list on the store and re-download everything to the device, but with having bought new CD's, i can't do this and means i can't listen to my new music.
I've tried syncing over wifi, manually managing the music and just selecting just a couple of albums in the music tab of my ipod, but nothing seems to work? I'm on the latest software update (7.0.6) and i've just downloaded the updated itunes from this morning.
any ideas?
edit: just noticed that on the drop down box below, it's only listing my ipod 3rd gen as my registered products, but my 5th gen is showing as authorised on my account details, so now sut if this has something to do with it ?

ok, looks like i've sorted the problem - i just kept hitting the sync button and eventually it decided to play ball andis now copying 650 songs over wifi

Ipod 60GB 5th gen won't sync with iTunes.

I have an Ipod 60b 5th gen (software 1.2.1) and Itunes 11.0.2 version. It's the current version for both of them. Itunes recognizes the Ipod but, when it stars to sync, I get a message saying that the attempt failed because it's not possible to read or copy on the disc. Dows anyone know how to fix it?
Thank you!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Ipod 5th Gen will not sync movies from Itunes...

I've had this Ipod for a couple of years now and the only way I've been able to put movies on is through a few programs that I've downloaded. I've bought a few movies off of the Itunes store and every time I put it on the iPod, the iPod freezes up, and then sometimes my iPod loses all of it's content. The iPod and iTunes are both up-to-date, is this just an issue with the 5th gens?

Are these HD movies? iPods can only handle SD movies.
Some store downloads include both versions. They will show HD-SD next to them. If so, right-click > Version and make sure SD is checked.
if it just shows HD, you should be able to use the Advanced menu to create an iPod or iPhone version.

TS1363 Help with Problem encountered with iPod Touch 5th gen After performing Sync.

Hello Friends.
My name is Joaquin. I was wondering if anyone can help with a problem I have encountered with my iPod Touch 5th generation running under OS 7.0.4.
After performing a Sync, a lot of the song in my iPod showed a red icon beside the song. It is the same Circle with a square in the center icon that shows the download progress status that you see when updateing APPs, etc.
The songs play perfectly in my computer library and in an old iPod Classic but not in the iPod Touch. The only difference was that when I connected the iPod I got a message stating something like "Transfer purchases from iPod touch to computer" despite of the fact that I did not make purchases from my IPod.
I will really appreciate the help. I can´t survive without my music. Thank you in advance.
Regards,

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network. Yes
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before? no
Try the following to rule out a software problem: (Not clear what you did)
- 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.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Since it connects to other networks that indicates a problem with your network

Phone restarts during sync/browsing contacts in PC

Nokia 6267, PC-suite. Worked fine until lately when:
- can not back up Contacts any more; just can not be copied and all
- every now and then, when connected, phone starts 'syncing/sending contacts' by itself (i.e when new SMS arrives) and somewhere in the middle of it the phone restarts, restoring picture and connections after a minute or two.
- the same sync and following crash appear when browsing contacts in PC suite or under windows explorer tree.
Syncing calendar or copying other data from phone to PC works fine.
Could there be something bizarre in my contact list that won't allow browsing and copying to continue? How to locate the bug then?
Also I can not add any number from the log to existing contact.

I too am having a sync problem Nokia 6230 connected with Bluetooth (TDK Systems). Communication seems fine, but the Nokia applications have problems.
I used v6.1 Data Suite, and although it reported the usage of both Phone (158) and SIM (10) memory, it did not pull a significant number of the phone contacts across. It did not seem to be because of the memory used.
I thought an upgrade to v6.7 would sort it, but find the application to be more limited. It seems that the Data Suite doesn't evolve, it just revolves !!
I now cannot see ANY sim contacts, and still several phone contacts are missing !! No stats are given in the new interface, which is more like an explorer Windows than an application. 152 in Contact Browser, 162 in actual phone (but not the new ones from Outlook yet)
Entries from Outlook were brought in and an & (ampersand) prefix added (although this shows in the summary pane to the left as an underscore)
What is required is for Data SUite to pull ALL the contacts to the PC, allow the user to edit them, allow the user to change the storage(phone/SIM), or even BULK move between storage areas (so you can pull off one phone, and push to another), and to sync with the user's PIM, without loss or skipping of entries. Not much to ask this many generations on - other programs can do it !

30gb 5th gen. Probs syncing.

Keep getting error -69.
Have all up to date software etc.
Also have reset and restored ipod and all settings back to factory.
Starts to sync then get the error.
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try running a disk check out the iPod using the tools provided by windows.
To do this:
1. Plug in your iPod and close iTunes.
2. Go to "My Computer". Click on the iPod drive once. Go to File, and then click Properties.
3. Go to the Tools tab. Under "Error Checking", click Check Now.
4. Check both boxes. One says "Automatically fix file system errors" and the other says "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors". Place a check mark next to each of these options and hit Start.
The scan may take several minutes or more to complete, but once it has, go ahead and restart iTunes, and try re-syncing files to your iPod.

Both my iPad2 and iPod touch (5th gen) will not sync to iTunes!

This is incredibly frustrating. My computer recognizes both devices (wirelessly AND via USB cable). They connect and successfully sync, but when I check my devices for changes (ie. added music and changes to playlists), nothing has changed. What is the issue here? I bought and imported a CD the other day to my iTunes library no problem; I cannot get it to add to my iPad or iPod. I have tried restarting devices, checking for updates.. nothing helps.

Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Try syncing using the manual method
Next would be to restore from backup
