IPod connects and is recognized, but will not sync (error message)

I just connected my iPod to my macbook and got this message: "The iPod cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to." I've never had this problem before. Anyone know what's going on?

  • Question: i upgraded to Lion and now itune upgrade will not install (error message appears)

    i upgraded to Lion and now itune upgrade will not install (error message appears)

    iPhoto needs to be upgraded in order to work with Mavericks. You can do that via Software Update or the App Store.
    The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.
    Upgrading iPhoto does not involve your iPhoto Library. Your photos will still be there. But it never hurts to make a backup first.

  • Ipod is recognized but will not sync ....

    Ipod classic 6th generation
    itunes latest version
    windows 8.1
    at first the ipod started copying songs that were already on there. then the ipod started to stop showing some songs, then more and more songs were not showing up on the ipod. then most of the music was gone.
    i ended up restoring the ipod back to original settings.
    now i have the ipod with nothing on it. itunes and windows both recognize it no problem.
    when i hit the sync button in itunes it says "determining what to sync" or something like that. then it does nothing and ejects the ipod from itunes.
    any idea what is going on and what i can do to fix it?
    thanks
    John

    You may just need to set up automatic syncing again after the Restore.  If you do not set it up, it will still "sync" but it will sync nothing.
    In iTunes, select the iPod so that you see its Summary settings screen (click the "device button" on horizontal bar).  In the iPod's sidebar, under Settings, click Music.  To the right is the iPod's Music settings screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync your iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  This enables automatic syncing for songs.  Below that, if your entire iTunes music library fits on your iPod, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library.
    Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Then, select what you want to sync from the lists below.  One convenient way to set this up is to create one or more playlists in your iTunes library with songs for the iPod.  Or you can use existing playlists.  On the iPod's Music settings screen, find and select (checkmark) those playlists under Playlists.
    When you click Apply, iTunes syncs your iPod with your selection(s) on the iPod's Music settings screen, and keeps it "in sync" automatically going forward.

  • My ipod connects to the computer but will not charge, can you help?

    My ipod will not charge. I have tried charging via the mains and via the computer. The computer recognises it but it still won't charge. Any ideas as to what the problem might be?

    See the not-charging topic of:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    Another charging source?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.

  • IPod touch will not sync error message 13019 even with newest version of itunes

    hello yesterday I was having trouble with syncing and the error message 13019 popped up. I was told that by updating itunes to the newest version would solve the problem. My itunes has been updated but when I try to drag any music to "iPod touch" under devices the error messege pops up again. I have an older version of the ipod touch and it asks me to update it to 4.2? I believe thats the newest version. When I try to update that it says there are things on my iPod that will be lost if I don't sync it but it doesn't allow me to sync my ipod! Thank you for any help.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connect the iPOd to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • My ipod touch is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed

    My ipod touch (model A1213) is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed.

    2.2.1 is not the latest available for any ipod touch.

    I have an Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3 GHz/6GB RAM/500GB HDD/Superdrive PowerPC Desktop and just bought an Airport Extreme card for it.  The card is recognized but will not see the in-house network.  This is a pre-intel computer.  Do I need an additional antennae?   If so, which one because my research is confusing me about what is supposed to work with this computer.

    Have latest version of iTunes installed and running. Also make sure you have internet access working and can access Apple websites. Also, make sure you don't have any entries in your hosts file referring to gs.apple.com....If your not sure about how to do that, go ahead and do the rest first. You can come back to that later.....Plug in phone. Put phone in DFU mode.(google put iphone in DFU mode for instructions) Then restore the phone in iTunes by highliting your device in the left column and click on the Restore button. The latest iOS version is 4.3.3. That's what iTunes will restore it to. When it's done restoring, iTunes will ask if you want to restore from a backup or setup as a new phone. I would use the Setup as a New Phone option. Once it's done, you should have a clean install of the iOS and an operating phone, as long as there are no hardware issues with it.

  • My iphone will not sync to itunes. It will connect to the computer but will not show up anywhere in itunes. PLEASE HELP!!

    My iphone will not sync to itunes. It will connect to the computer but will not show up anywhere in itunes. PLEASE HELP!!

    Hey there Kellee,
    It sounds like the device drivers for your iPhone are working in Windows, but the phone is not showing in iTunes. You should be able to get that showing again with the steps in this article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    Start with these three steps, and there are more in the article if you need them.
    1. Update iTunes
    Check that you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. In iTunes, select "Check for updates" in the Help menu.
    2. Check the USB cable
    Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
    USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might support only charging those products (and not transmitting data) or they might work only with the product with which they were sold. Using one of these cables to sync could cause issues. If you are using a third-party case, such as an extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
    3. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    iOS devices require Apple Mobile Device Support, which should be automatically installed with iTunes. To verify whether it is installed, follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
    Windows XP: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Open the "Add or Remove Programs" control panel and verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Start and choose Control Panel. Click "Uninstall a program" (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click "Programs and Features"). Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type Control Panel,and press Return. Click "Uninstall a program". Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is visible in the list of currently installed programs.
    If Apple Mobile Device Support is not listed, remove iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Software Update, Apple Application Support, and then reinstall iTunes. Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below:
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows XP
    Reinstall iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    If after reinstalling iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support is still not installed, follow steps in Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling
