I'M THROUGH WITH ALL THE APPLE STUFFS! i'm frustrated and i'm about to cry! i ca'nt stand apple anymore! anything i buy works!!!! ANYTHING!!!! please help me! i don't know what to say i'm soooo frustrated and sad... :'(

Whoa. Relax, take your finger off the Caps Lock... 
Some items don't sync well with all devices so perhaps for the first sync just set the iPod to sync with a single iTunes playlist, then build from there.
Now try working through the following steps. Do them all in order even if you think you've done them before:

Let us know how you get on (preferably with calm descriptions of symptoms! )

  • HT2688 can i sync my iPod to my home computer through home sharing or do I have to sync it every time to the home computer?

    can i sync my iPod to my home computer through home sharing or do I have to sync it every time to the home computer?

    There is no such thing  as "home sharing sync".
    iOS devices can be synced via the cable or if running iOS5 or later via Wi-Fi.
    iPods (nano's, classics) must be synced via the cable.

  • I can't sync my iPod to iTunes on my mac or iPod.

    I have a ipod touch 5th gen and i have enver had problems with it until now, I can't update any apps nor can i sync my ipod to my mac. I don't think its my apple id because I can sign into itunes on my mac but not on my ipod. When I plug my ipod into  my mac it shows that my ipod is conencted but when i press sync it says " This ipod cannot be synced because the sync session failed to start". When I try updating apps on my ipod it says "cannot connect to itunes store". My ipod is up to date and so is itunes on my mac, I have 16 gb of free space left and have reseted my wifi 3 times but I don't think thats the problem.

  • HT1386 How many different computers can I sync my iPod with?  My laptop crashed and was completely wiped clean and this was the machine that my iPod synced with so I don't know if it will be counted as a "new" computer.

    How many different computers can I sync my iPod with?  My laptop crashed and was completely wiped clean and this was the machine that my iPod synced with so I don't know if it will be counted as a "new" computer when I sync my iPod.

    You can sync with onee at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

    Question: I have a computer at home and one at work. Can I update my iPod music collection from more than one computer?
    Answer: Yes. When you first connect iPod to your computer, iPod recognizes that computer as its "home" computer. Each time you connect, iPod automatically downloads the music library stored on it. When you connect iPod to a different computer, iTunes will inform you that iPod is linked to a different iTunes library and will ask whether you wish to erase iPod's contents and sync with the new computer's library. If you will be connecting to multiple computers frequently, configure your iPod to manually manage music. This will allow you to selectively drag songs, albums, or playlists from the second computer to your iPod without compromising the existing music.
    Synchronization generally occurs only in one direction, from your computer to your iPod. This means you typically cannot transfer music, automatically or manually, from your iPod to a computer, and you cannot use iPod to copy a music library from one computer to another. An exception to this is the transfer purchases feature which allows you to restore purchased iTunes content to your computer from your iPod. Additionally, if you legally are allowed to copy music or other media files, you can configure your iPod as a storage drive to move media files.

  • How can I sync the ipod touch with windows 7 64 bit

    How can I sync the ipod touch with Outlook on windows 7 64 bit?

    I'm having the same problem with Windows 7, iTunes has been spotty about recognizing my iPod Touch. Now that I've updates Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (June 2011), It won't complete a sync or a restore at all on either of my Windows 7 computers.
    I have gone through every troubleshooter action recommended by Apple Support, and have not been able to improve the situation at all.
    I took my Touch to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store after trying and failing to complete a restore while troubleshooting, and it restored just fine from a Mac.  Unfortunately, it now gives me an error meesage (Incompatible device) half way through an attempted sync, or iTunes simply freezes.
    I even tried removing the Windows SP1, but that was a mess, as my display went all whacky and iTunes crashed immediately upon startup.
    The Windows 7 OS ***** in general, particularly with compatibility issues, and not just for Apple products.
    Does anyone know how to remedy this situation?
    I'm so frustrated and have wasted so much time on this issue that I'm going to throw it all out the window!
    HELP!!!!!!

  • I have an Ipod classic sync'd to a PC. The PC is no longer working. I purchased a new MacBook pro. How can I sync the Ipod to the new Macbook pro

    I have an Ipod classic sync'd to a PC. The PC is no longer working. I purchased a new MacBook pro. How can I sync the Ipod to the new Macbook pro

    Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the Mac as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your Mac first.

  • How do I get my music from my IPod back in the library of my new computer, it tells me I can only Sync my IPod with one library but I don't have my old PC anymore?

    How can I Sync my IPod in ITune on a new PC and get the music from the IPod in the library and avoid this msg:
    You can only Sync one library with your IPod?

    Use the backup of the media and other important files from the old computer to put them on the new computer.
    iTunes only syncs with one computer/library at a time.
    If you have failed to maintain a backup or no longer have the old computer, you may be out of luck.
    iTunes purchases can be transfered from the iDevice.  Connect the device, do NOT sync.  Select File > Transfer Purchases.
    This will only transfer iTunes purchases.  All other media will not transfer and will be wiped from the device when it is synced with a new computer/library.

  • I recently restored my computer and now I can not sync my ipod to my computer - the error says "my ipod is synced with anothers itunes libary"

    I can not sync my ipod to my computer - the error message says " my ipod is synced with another itnes libary"

    Re-installing the OS on your PC has caused your iPod to think it is now syncing with a new/different iTunes library. An iPod can only be synced with one computer/iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync the iPod with a different/new iTunes library it will erase the contents the iPod and replace them with what is in the new library.

  • I can't sync my iPod anymore

    Hey,
    I can't sync my iPod anymore. When I go to sync is says
    *'The iPod "Loz's iPod" cannot be synced. The required file is in use'.*
    I don't understand what file is in use, can someone shed some light on to this problem?
    Thanks

    If you no longer have, or access to, the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
    Log in to iTunes,  go to "view your account info" on the itunes store,  deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)  and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

    Yes. Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time, meaning that when you try to sync it with a new library, it will erase everything that is currently on the iPod and replace it with what is in the new library.

  • How can I sync my iPod Touch to a new computer?

    My Laptop's hard drive died: that's bad enough, but my data was backed up onto my iPod Touch, including some very rare tunes that I can't ever get again. I then installed iTunes onto my wife's desktop, but now I'm told that if I want to sync the iPod, I have to delete everything that's on it as the iPod is already synced to another computer - which now doesn't exist.
    I thought that backing up my rare music to my iPod made it safe; it was on my hard drive and my iPod. Now I'm told that if I want to sync my iPod to another computer I have to delete its contents. I can't afford to lose the music, because I can't replace it. Surely this can't be right?
    Incidentally, because I can't sync my iPod I have missed at least 2 appointments because my calendar isn't updated.
    I understand that Apple are worried about data being copied from one computer to another, but surely there must be a way to register a new computer as one to which I should sync?.

    This program can rescue your rare music for only US$25:  http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
