160gb Ipod Classic does not sync

Hope someone can help. Purchased a new Ipod classic for my mother two weeks ago and created a new music iTunes library for her. The Ipod charged up but when it came to syncing it just would not work.
It appeared in the iTunes window with the correct Ipod name (although it showed up as a Mass USB storage device on my PC rather than an Apple ipod), the sync started and showed various songs being copied but then suddenly cut out saying that there was an error, that iTunes had stopped working and had to close.
This happened on a couple of occasions and even when I tried it with my own iTunes library that crashed as well. I reset the factory settings on the Ipod - no joy, same fault; however, I tested my own Ipod nano and that was fine.
Spoke to Apple and they went through various steps with me - none of which worked. Asked me to shut off my firewall and PC protection, remove iTunes and all associated software from PC and then reinstall - they would call me back the following day to see if that helped. I did this but exactly the same problem is occuring, no music copies to Ipod and even the few tracks that are shown as being copied.
Phone call from Apple and after a couple of tries at syncing they got me to into the disc menu on the Ipod but it would go no further so whatever the next step would have been I am not surer, it has now stuck on that menu and will not even switch off!
Any ideas?
Thank you.

I have had a similar problem with my iPod not syncing all my Trailer Park Boys episodes. What I did to fix it was in iTunes, if you go to the TV Shows tab, you'll need to make sure you check all TV Shows get synced to the iPod not just unwatched episodes. Once you do that you'll see that all will work nicely.

  • IPod Classic does not sync...

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having some issues with my iPod Classic (60 GB). My iPod was working fine up until this morning; there is now no music on the iPod and it does not let me sync with iTunes.
    I have removed and reinstalled iTunes, changed the drive that the USB cable connects to, and it still doesn't work. I also tried a system restore unsuccessfully
    I'm pretty sure it's an issue with the iPod itself. I have been able to sync an iPhone successfully with the same cable, and windows recognizes the iPod. I even did a diagnostics test and iTunes recognizes that an iPod is connected. The iPod just stays on "do not disconnect" and doesn't do anything when its plugged in.
    Any suggestions for this non-Apple tech savvy user?
    Thanks!

    Activate the disk mode as per these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
    If the problem remains, try an alternative iPod manager http://ipodmanagers.blogspot.com

  • HT1386 My new iPod Classic does not sync correctly

    I replaced an iPod Nano with a new iPod classic. When I sync it from my MacBook Pro's iTunes, many songs and playlists are not synced to the iPod. I never had a problem with the old Nano. All songs are checked (selected). Sometimes syncing changes the contents of a playlist even though all songs are selected in itunes.

  • Ipod Classic does not show up in iTunes and will not sync

    My ipod classic does not show up as a device in iTunes. It was working just a week or so ago, but each time I plug it in the screen says connected, then switches to Ejected, you can now disconnect, then says OK to disconnect and then goes to the home screen. Can someone advise me on what is going on and what I need to do to fix it! Thanks!!!

  • 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.

  • IPod Classic will not sync since installed iTunes 11

    iPod Classic will not sync properly since installed new iTunes. Always stops at or around song 2 and just hangs there, even if left all night. Tried restoring the iPod, made no difference. Tried syncing just some songs, sometimes it will do 20 or so but not more than that - and I have 10,000 songs.
    Saw something about problem with Winsock and reset that but no effect.
    Recently been re-recording CDs in Apple Lossless with 'Convert to AAC' selected for iPod. Maybe the conversion process is causing the block? But it did not before.
    I also tried moving the itunes material from the Synology NAS to the PC as I thought the processing power might be the problem. It synced once after that, now it is blocked again. Tonight I tried selecting only the original AAC files and it seems to have worked for them, my problem therefore seems to be the Apple Lossless - unless the syncing of AAC files is another one-off.
    Not for the first time I wish I had not updated iTunes because it so often leads to problems of some kind. Why do they not care?
    Any

    Update: following successful sync of AAC files, I changed the setting to 'manual' for music & videos, used the View menu to restore the old sidebar, and manually added the Lossless files to the IPod. That actually seems to be working (very slowly). But it would be better if Sync worked as it should.

  • My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support?

    My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support? Useless to say my PC didn't recognize the Ipod anymore either.

    Anton, I wish I could help. I had an old iPod Classic (60 KB) as a gift but it went dead, I dropped it a few times accidentally, and it sat carefully saved until I had sufficient resources, energy and time to get the matter addressed. In my case, I actually took the thing (after making sure it was charged) to an Apple store and one of the geniuses at the genius bar at the back of the store took it and did a few things (unseen and un-noted) with his fingers and handed it to me with a sly smile. Voila, the thing was functional. I got a re-functionalized iTunes account and store access when I bought my iMac. I did lose a few tunes along the way because it didn't recognize my new iMac as the source (my old dead PC laptop), but I have a more functional memory than the iPod and recovered them all in other ways. The whole thing is humming better than ever. At over 11 gb full, I have 4.2 days worth of portable listening. Be patient; it took me four years to get musical nirvana in a pocket, but you'll get there faster. Call support.

  • Ipod classic will not sync with tv shows

    except for only one but none of the other shows are syncing, Ipod classic will not sync with tv shows except for only one but none of the other shows are syncing. I have them checked but they still wont sync.

    Are you getting any error messages during the sync process? If not, reset warnings on the iPod by right->clicking on it from under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes and selecting Reset Warnings.  Then resync the device.

  • My Ipod classic will not sync any of my music.

    My Ipod classic will not sync any of my music, or show up in my itunes library. When it pops up on the computer it views it as a hard drive. I have restored it mutiple times and nothing works. Help please!

    Hello bardwell,
    Try rebooting your computer to see if that makes a difference.  Otherwise, use the Get Info window for these games to determine where they should be located on your PC.  Then navigate out to that location to see if they are actually still there.

    Make sure you are entering the events on your iPod in the iCloud calendar and not something else such as On My iPod.  Check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) to be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default.

    If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. 
    The iPod should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Select it there.  To the right, its Summary screen is shown.  Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons starting with Summary.  Click on Music next to Summary.  This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs ot the iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  This is the switch to enable automatic syncing.  If your iTunes music library fits on the iPod, you can choose to sync Entire music library.  Otherwise, you can choose to sync Select playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Then select what you want on the iPod from the lists below. 
    Click Apply to intiate automatic syncing between that iTunes library and your iPod (based on how the iPod's Music screen is set up in iTunes).
