Ipod classic won't sync, lost music DESEPERATE!!!

Downloading new music that i had just bought from the Itunes store, my Ipod classic (30 gb) forze up and now it won't sync any music file. At first it stated a 48 error, then something about artwork error and now it posted that
there's a corrup file and should run Chkdsk utility (which I have no idea what it is), and lost all the music I had in the Ipod but didn't lose any photos. This happened in both machines I work on. What can I do about this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Although this document says Mac users, it has worked for windows users also. *[Error 48|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1478]*

I have synced my Iphone and everything is on there but when I activated my daughter's iphone it recognized it as mine and now it won't sync any music because it thinks it already did it. How do I go in and change it to my daughter's name?

I have synced my IPhone4 and it has everything on it, including all of my music. When I activated my daughter's IPhone4, the computer recognized it as mine and it won't sync the music because I guess it thinks it has already done it. I think if I restore it to factory settings, it will mess up my phone. How do I go back in to restart the whole process under my daughter's name?

As amy_lou said, iTunes will recognize both phones as different devices. If they have the same name, rename one of them so it is easier to recognize which is which. This explains how to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3965.

160gb ipod classic won't sync since update to 11.2.2, system wants to wipeout all current info on device

160gb ipod classic won't sync since update to 11.2.2, system wants to wipeout all current info on device

same has happened to me, on and off, for the last 6 months. Its an issue with the Mavericks system and ipod classics. works great for a while - then one day for no reason - erases the entire iPod. some days the copmputer will not recognize the iPod and you have to start over. Apple will tell you that "you" may have a disc problem in the device. that is all the help I have received.

My iPod classic won't sync at all. I've synced it on the same macbook for many years.

IPod Classic won't sync to PC

My iPod Classic won't sync with iTunes on my PC. An error message is received stating that there is not enough memory available to sync, but I have 101 GB free on the iPod. I'm using iTunes Version 10.6.3.25 on a PC with the Vista operating system.The iPod operating system is 2.0.1 PC.

It sounds like your PC may be too low on memory (RAM) or Hard Drive in for the iPod to sync properly with iTunes. Try rebooting your PC to see if that helps. Then run only iTunes and try to resync your iPod.

iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
Authorizing a computer does not cause media to magically appear.
Media is only where the user puts it.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

My iPod classic won't synch from iTunes. This is a recent problem. The error message reads "The iPod cannot be synched. An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that the music will sync but photos will not sync. I am running current versions of software on the iPod and the iMac / iTunes. HELP! J

First try to resolve #2 by:
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
If you can resolve #1 and still get same message for #1 then you have to restore the iPod like the message says.

IPod classic won't sync

Two iTunes updates ago my iPod classic stopped being recognized by iTunes and I can not longer sync my music. I tried uninstalling and installing an older version of iTunes but that didn't solve anything. My laptop recognizes my ipod though. and my ipod with start to sync but nothing happens. The ipod icon in iTunes also pops up for a less than a second and then my classic only says "connected". so yea I am a little sad about this.

Beware! I tried this and my iPod Classic said it was syncing but all that happened is that it erased most of the content on my and now NOTHING WILL SYNC. The thing is now basically a paperweight...

IPod Classic doesn't sync all music in my library

My iPod Classic doesn't sync all my music. When I view my music files, the files that do not sync re not bold like the ones that sync correctly. All files play on my computer.

The iPod can only Sync with one Library.
Your best option would be to add all the songs to one Library and then Sync with that.

Ipod Classic won't sync to my Itunes on an external hard drive

So before I could sync my Ipod classic to my Itunes just fine. Then I downloaded episodes of Avatar and suddenly my Ipod won't connect with itunes. I tried connecting it but it didn't work and now all the stuff I had on my ipod is now erased yet somehow its saying I have 2 gb left. I can open my itunes on my computer and play music and t.v shows fine but when I connect my ipod it dosen't open my itunes anymore and seems to only connect the computer like when it connects windows is just like oh hey matts ipod is connected and will open a window with my stuff etc. I have reset my ipod still nothing and I'm scared to reinstall itunes because I will lose my data. Now my external hard drive is disk E and my ipod is disk F if that helps any. Again I just want my t.v shows and music back on my ipod.

by the way when I tried to sync my ipod for the second time it deleted all my music, movies and songs everything I had on there but it still says it has 2 gb left

Ipod classic won't sync with itunes 11 anymore

My ipod 160gb classic died from a low battery, so i connect it to my computer, and then a strange white screen with a exclamation mark pop up saying 'do not disconnect', and then itunes suggested me to restore it, taking precaution, i went ahead and did that, but now itunes won't sync music to my ipod anymore, i think it has something to do with enable disk use being checked, but it won't let me uncheck it, i don't know what to do, someone please help!

Unclick Manually Manage Music and Videos, which is right above Enable Disk Use. You can then click on Enable Disk Use. I had the same problem as you and that fixed it.

IPod Classic won't sync properly?????

I have a 160gb iPod Classic and I'm using a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 Macbook Pro, Early 2011, running on Yosemite.
So I was using my iPod the other day and it hanged so I reset it like how I normally would by holding the center and menu button but the next thing I knew, all my music was gone. I plug it into my computer and it tells me the iPod is corrupted so I have to restore and stuff, which I do, and then I try syncing all my music again (only about 4,000 songs, 30gb) and the same thing happens, my iPod tells me there are no music.
I've tried resetting, restoring, and resyncing countless of times and I figured it was broken so I brought it to the Apple store, only to have the personnel tell me there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, and they even managed to sync the store's playlist into my iPod.
So I bring it home again and try and try and try and it just doesn't work. It's frustrating because it takes forever to sync all my music in and then nothing shows up and it freezes a lot and I've to reset it and it takes forever to reset because it gets frozen at the Apple logo. And it doesn't always show up on my iTunes, even when I put it in Disk Mode. Ugh not sure what I'm doing wrong, there might be something wrong with my iTunes but I've managed to sync the same content into my iPhone so I'm not so sure. Plus I don't know how to troubleshoot my iTunes since there's no way for me to uninstall it on my mac. I'm using the most current iTunes.

Hello Stevie A B,
The article linked below provides details about this error and steps to help resolve the issue.
