AFter ripping several CD's to Itunes & trying to sync the Ipod Touch (3rd Gen). seems to go through the motions of syncing but the new CD's are not appearing on my iPod. Can anyone offer a solution please. Thanks Min

Start with some basic steps:
- Restart both your computer and iPod
- Try another usb cable
- Try another usb port in the computer
- Make sure iTunes is up to date
- Temporarily disable any security software and/or firewalls

ITunes won't sync but iPod working...?

I downloaded the most recent iTunes and tried to sync my iPod (an 80 gig with video, fyi). iTunes said it needed to restore, that the iPod was corrupt, etc.; I did as it said and waited for the iPod to restart... just to have iTunes say it needed to restore again. After repeating the process a few times I unplugged the iPod and found that it was asking for a language and that it showed the menu options and the games worked, but because it had been restored there was no music on it. Now iTunes won't sync it but the iPod itself is turning on and doesn't show any music (except for, you know, the lack of music.)
It is important to know, I guess, that my iPod hasn't been working perfectly lately; she's been freezing up, won't play some songs, working sluggishly... Last night she was particularly diifficult and after restarting a few times refused to play more than one or two songs (before freezing.)
I can't think of any time I've dropped her from anymore than a few inches off whatever surface, and every time she was in her case so I doubt that had anything to do with it...
Can anyone help? I thought it might just be a problem with the new iTunes so I don't want to send her in for service just yet, but the sooner she's fixed, the better.
Thank you ver much in advance!

Hi there,
Have you tried the 5 R's that Apple recommend trying?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303940
It sounds like you could do with going through them - make sure that you have the very latest iTunes software before starting.
I hope this helps.

ITunes won't sync with ipod clickwheel (windows xp)

Yes, this is yet another problem happening right after updating to the new itunes. Everything seems to be working just fine on iTunes and the 'pod, but when it syncs, nothing happens. it just says the normal ipod updating message for about 5 seconds, then does says ipod updated. The problem is that I keep checking my ipod afterwards, and it hasn't actually updated anything. what a liar!

This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.
Strange iPod behaviour.

ITunes won't sync w/ iPod: 'Unknown error (-69)'

I tried to manually back up my itunes by moving the files to my external hard drive, but then when I did a disk cleanup and defrag, they all vanished from my itunes! I found them and manually dragged all the folders back into itunes, but when I went to sync my ipod, it said it was a new library, so it needed to erase and re-sync. I did that, but it only put about 1400 of my 4800 songs on there, before saying, 'an unknown error has occured (-69).' It then disconnected the iPod from the computer.
I've tried restarting and reconnecting things multiple times, same error result. I've also tried playing some of the songs that won't copy in itunes, and they play fine. I know I probably did something wrong in the way I moved the files around, but how can I fix it? Thanks!!!

Ok, so the three corrupt songs were all ones I had legally downloaded from iTunes...all ones that were $.99 when purchased and are now $1.29...hmm, that's convenient for iTunes. But anyway, the problem I posted is solved, so thank you!!!

ITunes won't sync with iPod Classic

Hi Helpful people,
Sorry to ask the same question as a lot of others but nothing seems to be working.
I have a 60GB iPod classic and I'm running iTunes 10.6.1.7
iTunes detects my iPod device.
In the iPod summary I have open iTunes when iPod is connected ticjed and sync only ticked songs and videos ticked.
I have tried sync'ing like this and with both unticked.
I have triied sync'ing from this page and also the File drop down.
The best I have achieved so for is it saying it is sync'ing but I don't get the usual message at the top of sync'ing 1 of 5226 or whatever that I used to.
Any tips from cyberspace?

Hi elleestgemma,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to use this article to confirm that iTunes is set up to sync automatically:

ITunes won't sync with ipod classic, keeps asking for authorization

I have a brand new Macbook Air. I transfered my iTunes library from my old mac to the new one. However, some songs weren't on the old computer, they were only on the iPod classic.
When I try to sync the iPod classic, it tells me 539 songs aren't on the new computer, should it sync? I say yes. Then it says that the computer is no longer authorized. I fill in the authorization with the correct userid and password (it comes prefilled with a very strange userid that I've never seen before.)
It tries to sync, then I get the same message, that the computer is no longer authorized.
I'm assuming there's a certificate or cookie some place that's out of wack -- can you tell me where it is and I can go delete it?
Thanks
PS. I was able to successfully sync my iPod Nano to the new computer without this issue at all. Then again, it didn't have any songs on it that weren't already on the new computer. I haven't tried syncing my iPod Mini to the new computer yet.

ITunes won't sync with iPod Touch after factory reset

I recently bought a used iPod Touch 3rd Generation 32GB and I erased and reset all settings on the iPod. It told me on the iPod to hook it up to iTunes, so when I got home that's what I did but I can't use my iPod on iTunes. The only thing that pops up is upload images which it can't because it is a 3rd Generation iTouch.
HELP PLEASE

Adding CD music to Itunes - does not sync to ipod touch 5 gen

Windows 7PC. Easy to add the music from a CD to Itunes.
But, then when I sync itunes to Ipod, music does not export to Ipod.
Must be a setting that is not right?
Have to reload them all again?

"Across the top, there is Summary, Apps, MUSIC- Click on Music"
Yes, those are the sync settings that I referred to in my answer.
"Make sure the (check mark) is sync music, click on entire music library"
This option works fine for small music libraries. When it gets bigger, it won't fit on the iPhone. At that point simply switch to more selective syncing.

ITunes Won't Sync with iPod Touch

Since migrating to my new iMac my old iPod Touch would not sync with iTunes. After following the articles on reinstalling the mobile device support I found that the iPod would only sync with iTunes once before it was necessary to reinstall again. Not very helpful.
Anyway, the solution is here! Run software update, as there is an iPhone SDK patch ready and waiting for you. Downloaded and restarted the iMac, and hey presto we have an iPod again, hoorah.

Bingo! Worked for me too (running Software Update and installing the iPhone SDK update).
I'm also staggered that this isn't explicitly mentioned as a likely fix in the general troubleshooting page for this connection problem on this site. As someone who diligently -- but manually -- downloads all patches and updates, I never use Software Update, and yet I could not find the iPhone SDK update available to download manually.
Background: my 2nd gen iPod Touch refused to be recognised by iTunes after upgrading my machine to Snow Leopard. iPod recognised by iPhoto and in iTunes on another Mac. Tried every troubleshooting item on the list at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
Notice that the suggestion to try Software Update is way down the list and is easy to disregard if you prefer to update your machine manually, as I do.
Given the number of users with this problem (I've read through dozens of posts looking for a fix for a good three weeks now) you'd think someone at Apple would reorder the troubleshooting list or at least highlight this option. Hopefully anyone else with this issue will stumble upon this thread, as I did, and get a happy result.

My iTunes won't sync with iPod

I just found out that my hard drive is partitioned and I moved all of the music from my C drive to the D drive and now when I open up iTunes it doesn't have any of my play lists or any of the music.
So I imported it all back into the iTunes music library manually but none of the play lists are there any more and now when I connect my iPod or iPhone, iTunes doesn't recognize them and says "this iPod is synced with another account already." Then asks if I want to erase the info on the iPod and replace it with the iTunes library, but that will erase all of my play lists and pictures and everything else...
Is there any help out there for me???
Rick

Hey, Thanks for the response. I have already done that. I changed the location of the music files per the directions on the support website, but even after that when I connect my iPod to my computer it doesnt recognize the iPod and it keeps saying that the ipod is assigned to another computer. So, I think there are some files that I didn't move over when I transfered the original iTunes files from my C drive to my D drive and I don't know how to fix that.

TS2529 Itunes won't sync with Ipod in Windows 7 64bit

I have Windows 7 64bit Pro. I have an Apple Ipod Touch 3G. I have the latest 10.6 iTunes software 32bit version. (64 bit version too unstable.) I plug my Ipod Touch into computer, I hear the "beep" that my computer recognizes it's plugged in, but iTunes doesn't recognize it nor will it sync with it. I can't force it to sync in the iTunes menu under "File" either.

Try here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I think you may have to use the 64 bit version.

ITunes won't sync with iPod

A few months ago I had to move my iTunes library to a bigger storage location. We have 5 computers on a network so I just moved the files to a drive on another computer and "showed" iTunes where to find the files. Since then I haven't been able to sync any new songs they I download off line or from a cd onto my iPod. I tried the 5R's and nothing worked. So now not only can I not snyc my iPod with iTunes but I have no music on my iPod. Can someone please help me?

hiya!
Since then I haven't been able to sync any new songs they I download off line or from a cd onto my iPod.
hmmmmm. given that you're on a network, we'd better check to see if you're getting a version of this issue:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
