Plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes, click on it from under Devices in the left hand pane. This brings you to the Summary tab. Locate and click on the Music tab. What configurations do you have made from under this tab? Is your iPod configured to sync those playlists?

Just downloaded an app on my pc cant seem to sync it to my iphone

Just downloaded an app on my pc cant seem to sync it to my iphone

It's the WhatsApp Messenger that i'm trying to download.
It says it's compatible with iOS 3.1 or later.
I used to have this downloaded on my phone before it got deleted from my phone and iTunes and now that I downloaded it again, it's not letting me transfer it to the iphone.

Here goes. My iPod touch has all my songs on it. I have changed computers several times and iTunes has a library of similar but not as many songs as iPod. When I plug iPod in ans go to sync it says that iTunes library will replace iPod songs.

That really does not work since music is not included in the backup. See:
iTunes: About iOS backups

Hey harley4550,
It sounds like you're trying to restore your shuffle to factory settings. You can actually use iTunes to do so, the following article goes over how:

Cant seem to sync my Iphone how I want it to be. Please help...

I've tried to sync my phone and cant seem to get this right. I had an old Iphone which I had to change. I used to sync before with Entouarage. I'm using know ical and Address book.
When I first coneceted my new iphone, I was prompet to new iphone or restore with old phone, I did a restore.
The problem is that I cant seem to be able to sync my phone with address book, I erased all of my contacts in Entouarage, clicked in the itunes all contacts, synced and all my contacts in my iphone were erased. I imported back all of my contacts to Entouarage, synced and have all my contacts bac.
What I'm I supposed to do, to sync all my contacs from address book since all of my updated info is there?
Ive deleted sync history, I sync and get duplicated contact in my iphone then.
This is frustrating for me. Please help!!

Hi Beatriz, by restoring your new iPhone from backup and using Address Book instead of Entourage, you may be confusing the sync process, as the backed up restore data is probably thinking it is from Entourage and not Address Book. Then you change ships and sync to Address Book, so even though the ultimate data of your contacts is the same, the iphone and Address Book think they are different, as they weren't yet synced with each other.
What I would try is to import all your Contacts into Address Book from Entourage. When you are satisfied with that data, I would quit the applications and log out. Log back in.
I would then restore your iPhone, to the point of deleting all data on it, and starting fresh.
I would next sync your iphone, selecting the replace all Contacts on iPhone option.

I cant seem to get ALL songs from my library to sync to my new ipod touch, my old ipod has all of them...???

cant sync all of my library to new ipod touch, but my old ipod(not touch) has all songs..????help

The ipod is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Have you failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer?

How can I sync both Music files and Podcasts to my Ipod shuffle 4th gen?

I have been trying to do this for a very long time. I own an Ipod shuffle 4th generation and I want to be able to listen to music, podcasts, etc without having to switch between the different formats using Itunes. Everytime I try to sync music and podcasts to my Ipod, it will only play one of the two types but not both. I have plenty of space on my Ipod but it just won't sync music and podcasts together. I have tried using Smart playlists but whenever I try to add the different types of media, it shows nothing in the playlist. Any help with this would be appreciated.

If you are using automatic syncing, you need to set up syncing on the shuffle's Music tab and Podcasts tab in iTunes...
Select your shuffle in iTunes. There is a bar of "tabs" (starting with Summary).
Click on Music there. This Music tab is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle. Sync Music is checkmarked, if you use automatic syncing. Your entire iTunes Music library (plus podcasts) probably will not fit, so you can select to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, make a selection of songs to sync by checkmarking playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres. For example, if you want to keep it simple, create a new playlist in iTunes and put ALL songs you want on the shuffle on that playlist. Back on the Music tab, find and checkmark only that one playlist under Playlists as your selection of songs.
Click on the Podcasts tab next. This is where you tell iTunes how to sync podcasts to the shuffle. Sync Podcasts is checkmarked. Make you selection of podcast episodes below.
When you click Apply, your selection of songs and podcasts sync to the shuffle. Going forward, all changes to your iTunes library that relate to your selection on the two tabs sync automatically when you connect the shuffle, or when you click Sync.
When you use the shuffle, podcasts do not play from the default All Songs list. To play podcast episodes, you use the VoiceOver feature to select the podcast from the playlist menu.
This document has information about setting up and using VoiceOver on a shuffle

You can also play podcast episodes from a playlist. If you put podcast episodes on a playlist, that playlist needs to be checkmarked on the Podcasts tab, where is says Include Episodes from Playlists. You can then use VoiceOver to select that playlist from the playlist menu. To play podcast episodes from a playlist, the shuffle's power switch must be in the play-in-order (middle) position. The podcast episodes will then play in playlist order (as you organized them in iTunes before syncing).

What is the audio quality on an iPod Shuffle?

I have just received a free iPod shuffle. I would like to know whether the sound quality is different on all different models/varieties of iPods. I am an audiophile and quality is 1st priority. If one has music files as AAC format with highest bit rate possible, will it sound exactly the same on a Shuffle as on an iPod classic, or what about an iPod touch? Where can I find a description of the different audio quality of playback on these different size devices?
Thanks

Apple does not publish audio specs on the various iPods and this information is tough to come by. They all sound pretty similar, some will have slight differences from others due to the difference in chipsets used.
Personally I think my 1st Generation iPod Shuffle has slighter better bass than the 2nd Generation Shuffle, 3rd Generation is on a par with the 1st Gen, my fifth generation iPod sound cleaner than my 160GB iPod Classic and I prefer the 2nd Generation Nano sound to all of them.

I cant seem to sync phone to tranfer music to iphone?

how come i cant download my music to iphone?

I'm having the same trouble. Sometimes restarting both the mac and the iDevice will help, but not always.
I restarted in OS X Recovery System mode and rand the Disk Utility and dozens of permissions problems were discovered! THe trouble is Disk Utility can not seem to fix them and when I reinstalled iTunes 11.1.1 from the Apple site there was no improvement.
My music library is close to 400gb and I get VERY nervous updating or working on iTunes for fear of losing something. Most is on CD somewhere though there is not time enough in this life to to re-rip everything.
What is worse is I just bought Capo 3 and when I drag my songs from iTunes to Capo 3 it says all my files are bad. It does work if I move the songs directly from the iTunes folder under Music.

My iphone 4 cant seem to sync my contacts with outlook 2010

I just purchased an iphone 4 and I cant sync my contacts with my outlook. Any ideas how to resolve this issue?

I think you have to choose which program you want to sync with, when your phone is pluged in and iTunes is up, go to contacts, calendars, and a drop down menu should pop up. you should be able to select outlook fom the list.

I cant seem to sync my iphone to my new computer, old one died.

I cant sync my phone to itunes on my new computer. it only recognizes my old computer

What happens when you try? Are you seeing a warning about deleting your iTunes library? Did you copy your iTunes library from the old computer? Did you have a backup of the old computer that contained the iTunes folder/library?

I have a generation 1 Appletv with the hard drive. I have just bought a new mac, but cant seem, to sync photos back to appletv hard drive anymore, i know the Imac is syncing with it because i purchased a movie from Apple TV and it loaded it reg on iMac

Can anyone help me with a generation1 appletv compatability with new Imac question?

Hi louchad,
The article below should help you sync the photos from your iMac to your Apple TV:
Apple TV (1st generation): Syncing photos via iTunes
The article explains this in more detail with screen shots, but the key points are summarized below for you:
To sync photos from a Mac or Windows PC to Apple TV (1st generation) using photo applications
Make sure you have iTunes 9.0.2 or later.
In iTunes, select the Apple TV icon in the Devices list.
Click the Photos tab.
Select "Sync photos from: ..."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Note: Some versions of Photoshop Album and Photoshop Elements don't support collections. You can still use them to sync all your photos.
If you want to sync all your photos, select "All photos, albums, events, and faces." If you want to sync photos from only some albums, events, faces, or collections, choose "Selected albums, events, and faces…" and select the albums or collections you want.
To sync photos from a folder on your hard disk to Apple TV (1st generation)
Drag the images you want into a folder on your computer. If you want images to appear in separate photo albums on Apple TV (1st generation), create folders inside the main image folder, and drag images into the new folders.
In iTunes, select the Apple TV icon in the Devices list.
Choose "Sync photos from: ..."
Select "Choose Folder" from the pop-up menu and select your image folder.
I hope this information helps ...

I paired my iphone with my new Hyundai Sonata but i cant seem to sync the contact list

i paired my iphone with my new Hyundai sonata but the contact list will not stay there

I contacted Hyundai and they are aware of this issue with 2011, 2012 and 2013 Sonatas. The problem is caused by the new IOS from Apple not working with the Bluetooth in these vehicles. A new system update from Sonata which will fix this issue is expected by September or October of this year (2013). They suggest you contact your dealer around that time and make arrangements to install the new version into your Sonata.

Help. I have an iPod touch 3 which will no longer sync properly with my iTunes library. The iPod will sync a small proportion of the music in my library but not all of the checked songs. Also the capacity keeps going from half full to completely full.

I have an iPod touch which no longer syncs normally. It will let me have a small proportion of my music library even though I have 2000 songs checked. Says its syncing but doesn't add the rest of my music. It lets me have my podcasts but only let's me have one movie, I appear to have only used half the capacity but if I check even one movie the capacity suddenly shoots up to full. I have tried restoring, resetting and have checked all my settings. I'm hoping someone out there has some ideas.

Yes I've done a reset but it made no difference.

I cant seem to sync what is in my library to my ipod shuffle
