I can't sync my playlists with ipod classic or a new ipod touch.

I have been having problems with my iPod Classic in my car.  Colleague used his iphone with no issues. I reset my iPod classic to original factory settings but now when I sync my playlists with iTunes are not included.  Very strange.

I'm having the same problem with my 30GB U2 iPod. I used iSquint to convert my video, and it plays perfectly fine on my iTunes, but it just goes to a black screen when I try to play it on my iPod. The movie is in Mpeg-4 format, which is supposed to work on the iPod-- right?

  • Can not sync Planes movie with iPod Touch

    I have recently purchased the Planes movie so my son can have it on his iPod Touch.  It has downloaded to my iTunes account but will not sync with his iPod.  I get the error message ( "Planes" was not copied to the iPod ... because it cannot be played on this iPod )  He has 5.83 GB free.  I have tried different USB ports and hubs.  We have been able to install multiple other movies and play them just fine.

    Likely the version you download is too high resolution for the iPod.
    Try going to the Purchased section in the iTunes store and see there a a version with less resolution available for download. Look for SD version.

  • Can't Sync "All Contacts" with iPod Touch 2nd Generation

    I have an older 2nd Gen iPod Touch (iOS 4.2.1) and a 2011 MacAir running Mountain Lion (MacOS 10.8) and the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3).  The Contacts application on the MacAir is syncing the "All on my Mac" group (84 contacts) with my iPod, rather than syncing with "All Contacts" (100 contacts).  Is there a way to change this?  I never setup the "All on my Mac" group so I don't know how that group got defined.  I assumed it appeared as part of the Mountain Lion (or Lion) upgrades, but I'm not sure.   I realize that iTunes provides the option of syncing with "All" or "Selected Groups"  I have selected "All" but am still only getting the contacts from the "All on my Mac" group rather than "All Contacts."
    P.S. Since the 2nd Gen iPod Touch cannot run iOS5 I can only sync through USB cable...no iCloud.
    Help!

    For anyone who might read my post and have the same problem, the above link, second option to try work like a charm. I have my music back.

  • Can't sync music library with iPod Touch

    I gave my iPod to my son. He erased my music library and put his on. He gave iPod back. I erased all his music and tried to reload my music library. I updated iTunes from Apple website. Could not successfully transfer ANY music.
    I searched through discussions and found some suggestions. I restored iPod to original settings, removed everything.
    Apps I originally had on the iPod and some new ones synced beautifully. Music library would not. Unclicked manually managed iTunes. Unclicked Sync all iTunes in library. Clicked APPLY where applicable. Uninstalled iTunes on PC and reinstalled. iTunes will not sync.
    I cannot put a checkmark on all songs in the library. The checkmarks will only go so far down and then quit. There are too many to do that manually.
    it has 59.42 GB capacity, 4.3.1 software version.
    So what do I do to syn my music library? And what are the exclamation marks appearing to the left of the column for check marks? Sometimes they appear and sometimes not.
    I would appreciate any help you can give me. I am at my wit's end. Thank you.

  • Help on syncing multiple calendars with iPod Touch 4g 64g

    In our university, we use iCal with Blackboard. Also, our main *email* is Entourage - pretty sure it's the most recent version for Mac. 
    How can we sync the Entourage calendar with iCal, and be sure that they are all merged and 2-way functional for the iPod touch and laptops (I know for multiple computers we'll have to set up home sharing - for now let's just focus on the calendar syncing). 
    I have instructions for syncing Entourage with iPod Touch, and it's been recommended to use Google to sync with iCal (thanks llllass) but we don't want to use Google or MobileMe to get to iCal.  iCal is already built into the iPod Touch, as I'm sure you know.
    Any advice on how to make this super simple?
    Thanks in advance.

    My first suggestion is to try Stanza, as it is a much more configurable ebook reader.  You can use the
    Calibre (ebook management/conversion utility) to transfer ebooks from your computer to your iPod Touch.
    <http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30657/calibre>
    Looking at iBooks on my iPod Touch, my font selection and font size are only present when I have an ebook open.  If I tap the center of a page, the top edge of the screen has
    Library | Table of Contents | Brightness | aA (font size, and font selection) | Search | Bookmark
    Where the aA icon brings up a control that has a small a and a large A.  If I tap on the large A, each tap increases the font size until it gets REALLY BIG.  Tapping on teh small a reduces the font size for each tap.
    Landscape lock.  OK for the iPod Touch as a whole, you put the iPod Touch in the orientation you desire, then you quick double-tap on the home button.  This will bring up a list of your running apps.  Now slide the list to the right, and you will see music controls as well as on the far left a screen lock button.  Tap the screen lock button to lock your iPod Touch in its current orientation.  Unlock it later when you want your iPod Touch to be able to rotae again.
    NOTE:  Stanza as an ebook reader, it has its own configuration control that locks Stanza into a specific orientation, independent of the iPod Touch orientation or the iPod Touch orientation lock.  Another reason I like Stanza.
    Wallpaper.  I think you can only change it to something else.  Settings -> Wallpaper, then tap on the screen you want to change.  Now select a different Wallpaper from either the Wallpaper selections, or anything in your Camera Roll, or your Photo Library.

  • Can't sync any apps to iPod Touch? (ver. 2.1.1)

    Hi there, can any one tell me why can't I sync apps to my iPod Touch 2 Gen? My firmware ver. is 2.1.1. Thanks

    I'm in a similar boat.
    I should have 4 apps installed on my iPod Touch 1st generation (version 2.1), although only 3 appear right now -- I'll get to that in a moment.
    My real problem is that the apps do not show up in iTunes. They are not listed in the Applications section nor do they show up on the Applications tab when the iPod is selected. When I connect, the title window indicates that Remote, Koi Pond, and Google Earth are being backed up, but they do not appear anywhere else in iTunes. Music I purchase on the iPod does get transferred to iTunes and appears in the library and in the "Purchased on iPod" list, so the basics seem to be working.
    The reason one app is missing has to do with app updates. I obtained the Simplify Media (SM) app while it was free, and there were several updates after that. Trying to download the updates either failed or caused SM to appear a second time. The only solution seemed to be to delete it and then "buy" and download the updated version. That worked acceptably well until somewhere along the line the apps stopped appearing in iTunes. Now SM is no longer free, so my previous purchase seems to have been lost
    Does anyone have an idea how to get the apps to become visible in iTunes again?
    If I "repurchase" Simplify Media, will the app store realize I previously "purchased" it and let me simply download it again at no additional cost?

  • Playlists with iPod touch

    Hi,
    I have a 1st gen iPod touch and an iPhone 3G.
    When I got my iPhone (Pay and Go), iTunes asked me if I wanted to configure it in the same way as my touch. I said no, but opted to sync my Purchased on +iPod touch name+ playlist to keep all my iTunes Store songs.
    Now, when i buy a song on the iPhone, it gets put in the Purchased on +iPod touch name+ playlist, not the Purchased on iPhone playlist. At first I thought this would be cured when plugged into my Mac for a 2nd time, but while this created a playlist for the iPhone and moved all my iPhone purchased songs to it, my iPhone STILL puts iTunes songs on my touch's playlist when I buy something.
    It's not exactly an emergency, but I'd like to know what's happening.
    Any response, even to say "don't know", would be great.

    No one?!

  • I can't sync apps onto my ipod touch? Help??

    I use a Mac.
    So here's what will happen: I'll log into my account on Itunes, and then I'll connect my ipod touch (2nd generation) to it. I'll then click on Ipod (on the left hand window) and I'll select apps. I've purchased a couple of them, but whenever I click apply to sync, it won't.  I don't need to authorize it or anything, it just won't sync to my itouch. Help?

    Are the apps compatible with ipod touch?
    Are they compatible with the software version on your ipod touch?

  • Can i sync more than 1 ipod touch with one itunes account?

    I have two ipod touches, one for each of my kids, and i would like to know if i can use one itunes account for both of their ipods.  Do I need 1 account per device?  Also, as they don't have an email account, do i need to create an email account for the itunes account to work?

    mate, just use one account for both, and create a playlist each, so that they have the songs that they specifically want, or they could probably both just have all of the music, it doesnt take much space up. And yeah, just have one E-mail account for the one itunes account, you could probably just use yours, or if not, your going to have to create another one. My whole family uses the one acoount, and it doesnt bother us, it also doesnt send me any emails, so its fine to use my account

  • How can I sync movies to my iPod Touch when I get a message saying the movies can not be read or written? I just bought the movies yesterdayfrom iTunes with no problem.

    I purchased four movies from iTunes yesterday and want to sync them to my daughter's new iPod Touch.  I have been able to sync apps, music, contacts, etc. but keep getting a message stating the movies can not be read or written. I was able to sync one movie, a digital copy that I used the code to copy from iTunes earlier today without a problem.  Can anyone help?

    thanks for helping, I am able to watch the movies in iTunes, but, I can't choose the create iPod or iPhone version in the advanced menu.  Do you have any other suggestions?

  • Can't sync album artwork to ipod touch and music is on many different computers that I can't always get to easily.

    Okay, so, I upgraded my iPod touch to iOS5. When I did that, I got everything back, but I'm missing a ton of album artwork and some of my music has the wrong artwork from completely different artists that I already had on my iPod. For example, I have some albums by the band Lacuna Coil. The album cover for the album Comalies is being shown as the album cover for my Marilyn Manson albums and my Combichrist albums. That's not the only album cover that's being repeated on different artists though. But also, a bunch of my album artwork just isn't there at all, period. It's gone. Now, before I got the iOS5 update, I would just hook my iPod up to iTunes, click on "Mollenstein's iPod" and click on "music" so I could just add the album artwork straight to the iPod because a lot of my music is not on the same computer, so it was just easier to do it that way. After this completely stupid iOS5 update, I can't do that. It will say it's syncing when I try to do it, but it will list off songs that it is updating that aren't even on the album I was trying to put the album artwork on. The album art for those songs didn't change, but neither did the one I was trying to change. About 2000+ of my songs are on my old PC that is a fossil and is slower than a fossil and it would take me hours and hours and hours and hours to fix the album artwork on it because it has an extremely old version of iTunes, so I can't hook my iPod directly to it (the fossil computer does not have access to the internet, so I can't update the iTunes). Therefore, I will have to get a flash drive, transfer music 2 gigs at a time to a different computer, fix the album covers, then sync to my iPod. I guess I can do that if I absolutely have to, but I was wondering if there was an easier way to do that or if I'm supposed to be able to sync album art directly to my iPod and the update is just making it completely ********. Please help, I'm frustrated, and I am too busy to have to mess with crap like this.I'm about to just go back to collecting CD's.

  • Syncing iTunes folders with iPod Touch

    Hi, I am curious if there is a way to sync my iTunes playlist folders with my iPod touch.
    A friend with a year-old iPod Classic (forgive me for not knowing generation number...) is able to sort through his playlists with all of his folders included. It would seem to me that a later generation Touch would be able to do so as well. However, all I get is the standard alphabetical order of playlists, without all of my heavily nested and finely crafted folder hierarchies.
    Any help would be fantastic.
    Thanks.

    You are not alone! I've just bought a 2nd gen iPod touch as an upgrade from a 160GB classic, and have discovered to my horror this very problem - rather than having 100+ smart playlists nested in folders properly and referencing one another, when sync'd to the touch, they all break because there are no folders.
    It's a seriously bizarre retrograde step - and a quick Google brings up other people who have come across the same problem; perhaps Apple have different teams of software developers for each of the iPod lines, and it takes a while to get consistent functionality? In any case, it's a really useful feature that I really hope makes it into an update soon - without it, my iPod touch is only really useful as a PDA/portable games console... and I may have to carry on using my classic to play my music

  • ICal Syncing Wrong Times with Ipod Touch or iPhone - Everything 2 Hours Off

    Every setting is uniform across all devices (timezones, etc) and yet iCal on my iPod touch or iPhone lists my scheduled events 2 hours earlier than what I inputed on my computer. The iCal calendar on Snow Leopard is correct, but my synced devices are not.
    What gives? This is a HUUUGEEE issue for someone that uses their schedule book to get through each day. iCal is TOTALLY UNRELIABLE with this issue.

    I have almost exactly the same problem. The ical on my macbook has the correct times, but on my ipod touch all events appear one hour earlier. Both devices are set to Geneva time, and the time displayed on them is the same.
    This is really annoying as I am about to set off travelling, and was just going to take my touch for schedule - now I either have to pack my macbook or do everything the good old fashioned pen and paper way.
    Can anyone help?
