First, make sure that all your devices are using the same Apple ID in iMessages including your Mac. Second, your messages that you've already started on your devices will not show up on your Mac - only ones that you start from now on will show up. Third, if you're still not syncing accross all devices, make sure you read the directions on the first page of this thread. It should work after performing those steps. Good luck!

HT1386 When I try to sync, my iPod classic goes immediately into 'do not disconnect' (normally), but it is perpetual (hours) and does not transfer the iPod files to the iTunes library. It remains locked into this 'do not disconnect' until I shut down my M

Hi out there... this problem began when I uninstalled Lion and reinstalled Snow Leopard on my older MacBook. If you have some advice for me, thanks! John

Try restoring the iPod via iTunes.
BTW, you posted in the iPod touch forum.

M ipod is daisabled and requires a connect to itune, but when i plug it in to the computer a pop up appears that says itunes cannot access this ipod because it has a passcode Type in the pascode and try again. I cant type in the pascode so any suggestions

Can anyone help? This was a birthday present for me and it's only about a year old.

Connect it in recovery mode using the instructions in the Apple support document below. This will allow you to bypass the passcode.

Hello, PWSample.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would suggest a reset to see if you are able to dismiss this message and process a sync. Here is the article on how to process a reset.

How to get back music lost while syncing to itunes?

how to get back music lost while syncing to itunes?

If the music you lost during the sync process is no longer on the iPod, in your iTunes library, or in a backup elsewhere, I'm afraid you are out of luck.
You may be able to redownload any lost purchases via iCloud (pending you live in a country where iCloud has gone live).

What are you wanting to do exactly? Are you trying to sync this older iPod with a new/different iTunes library from the one you originally set it up with?

Not good
Error (-1)
Try on another computer
Also see:
iOS: If you can't back up or restore from a backup in iTunes
Then see:
-1 error
-1 error too
If still problem that means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can sync your music and apps from iTunes. However since you are moving from an iPod to an iPad, many of the apps will have iPad versions which you will need to redownload.

Before you restore the iPod from the backup that Dave had you make yu have to transfer stuff from the iPod to the computer since the backup does not contain the apps themselfes, music, synced phots and some other stuff. To see what a backup contains see:

Where can I download iTunes 10.1 so I can sync my old iPod touch with my G4 running 10.5.8

Where can I download iTunes 10.1 so I can sync my old iPod touch (4.2.1) with my G4 running 10.5.8 ?
I have not found a link on the Apple support site. although there do seem to be links to download many older versions of iTunes.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi varjack,
Thank you for your suggestion. For a number of reasons I choose not to upgrade to iTunes 6.3. As this G4 is running slow (it's over eleven years old) I have made a decision to avoid any software upgrades on my 'legacy' applications.Not only will any new software strain the resources of the G4, but I do not think it a good idea to put a lot of features into my machine that it is not capable of utilizing. The iPod touch (I have been prompted by iTunes) will communicate with my G4 if I have iTunes 10.1. That is the solution I continue to seek.
As far as the iTunes Store goes, I do not use it. One reason is that my iPod touch cannot run many of the new Apps (I'm also unable to find legacy Apps, though I haven't tried lately) and I'm not going to run out and buy a new device from Apple so I can. I just don't care enough.
Thanks

HT1351 I have an IPOD that has not been synced to Itunes for several years. I no longer have the same computer or e-mail address. How can I sync my old IPOD material to my new itunes account?

I have an older IPOD that has not been synced to Itunes for seceral yeras. I no longer have the same computer or e-mail address. How can I sync my old IPOD material to my new Itunes account?

Your email address (used as your Apple ID) does not matter, because iPods are not directly linked to a particular Apple ID.
NOTE: You can still use your old Apple ID, even if your that email address is no longer valid. As long as you remember your Apple ID password. Go here and click on Manage your Apple ID.
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
You can change the primary email address used by Apple, although the Apple ID remains the same.
Back to the iPod. iTunes syncing is generally in one direction only, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod. You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library. After confirming everything is there, sync your iPod to that library. If there is any content purchased from the iTunes Store that uses DRM (copy protection), such as audiobooks, videos, and very old song purchases, iTunes may prompt you to authorize your computer with your Apple ID (the one you used to make the purchases).

How do I sync my old ipod and save my ipad songs which are different?

Like a lot of folks, I have 4 devices that I sync with Itunes. I have diffent songs on my ipod than on my ipad (or shuffle for that matter) and I do not want to sync the songs that are in the itunes library when it pops up (they are the songs on my ipad) but want to transfer and sync the songs currently on my ipod to the library (without erasing the others of course)
When I tried to do this, I got the message to either "erase and sync" which would have erased the songs on my ipod and transferred the songs in the library to the ipod, which I didn't want to do. I forgot what the other option was but it was not the correct one either.
Bottom line: I need to know how to sync multiple devices and each keep their own unique specific library of songs and videos.
Thank you very much,
Ben McCurdy

forgot to tell everyone I have a new laptop computer I am trying to sync to.
