20 GB Ipod will not upload

I have a 20BG Ipod I bought from a pawn shop for my daughter. I upgraded the software and reset it and it will not hold more than 29 songs. It is suppose to hold 3000 songs right? I am so fustrated I am about to return it. Unless someone has had this problem and can help me.

hi Brittany!
Attempt to copy to the disk "BRITTANY" failed. The disk could not be read or written to.
okay, the best place to start with that error message is this document:
"Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod

Help Please: My Ipod Will Not Upload My Itunes Library

When I place my Ipod in the cradle (w/ Itunes open) - the computer recognizes the Ipod ("Updating", "Do Not Disconnect", then "Ipod Updates: Ok To Disconnect" comes up) but my library will not import. I restored the settings (and updated software). One thing - I did move my Itunes to an external drive ("F")a while back. Any suggestions anyone? Thanks,

Brian, Monty, & Janet:
If you moved the iTunes music files to another location without using iTunes to manage the move, you will cause iTunes to lose track of the music and possibly the entire Library.
Personally, I find it best to keep the iTunes
i program files
installed on the C: drive. While not completely necessary, it does make sense to manage all program files under the Windows default directory, if for no other reason than ease of locating the program.
Where the actual music
i files
are kept is not critical, as long as iTunes is aware of their location.
Let iTunes keep its
i music database
file (the 'iTunes Library.itl' meta-data file) wherever it wants and
b do not move it,
as this will completely confuse iTunes resulting in a loss of your music
i information
See these posts for some additional information and possible solutions. Read all the links provided within those posts as well. Post back if you have more questions before you attempt to fix this situation, unless you are completely sure of what you are doing and why. Chances are, we can get your Library back to normal and then move it to where you want it to be.

IPod will not upload files

My 80 GB iPod crashed and prompted me to restore the settings. I did that and lost my music library. When I tried to upload it, I received two error messages: the first-- ERROR WINDOWS DELAY WRITE Windows was unable to save all the data for the file E:\iPodControlArtworkF10281.ithmb. The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere.
and the second-- iTunes error: The iPod cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to.
I tried deleting iTunes and downloading version 7.0 a few ties and restoring the iPod, but I had no success.
Please advise me on how to proceed. Thanks.

Well, iPod let's me upload iTunes purchases. Wonder why? With the rest of the library it gets to about 500 of 2700 songs and the error message shows up. It all started when I downloaded a free video from the store. I had my whole library on the iPod, but when I tried to play the free video, then the iPod froze. After restarting it, everything was erased. I don't know if it's a glitch in iTunes 7 or what. In any case, I want to exchange this **** thing because I have spent to many hours deleting, downloading, restoring... You get the picture. If anybody hears of a solution, then I'd love to know. Once again, the troubleshooting guide did not work.

Ipod will not upload songs from pc

Cannot upload music to ipod shuffle. I get an error message "error -36" What is going on? My computer recently crashed and now has been rebuilt and updated. All ipod updates are included. What do I do?

If you are having the same issues with another device you may be using the wrong or outdate drivers for the USB controller.
If it was happening with one device only, I would think it was that device. Given it is happening with more than one...
Also have your tried both the USB ports on the front and the back of the computer. Never forget the physical layers, and a loose wire between the front port and the motherboard could do it. Usually the back ports are soldered onto the motherboard and less prone to problems.
Is this a work computer on a network? What drive letters are assigned in My Computer?

Ipod will not upload tunes purchased thru ITMS

IPOD 5th generation will not upload new games

I purchased a new game and it will not upload it on my IPOD. It says it needs the 1.2 version which it has.
I installed Itunes 7 and when the ipod is sync it says it's syncing software is version 1.2. I restored my IPOD and it still did not eliminate the problem.
I can not find a way to contact support. It keeps looping me to articles and will not give me an email address or phone number.
Someone please help.
PC Windows XP none

I finally got the answer in the Itunes discussion section.
You must "authorize" your PC to use games / music purchased from the Store.
Click on the "Store icon"
Go in "Store" -> "Authorize PC" It will authorize your IPOD to be able to load games. Otherwise, double-clic the image of the game between the Library column and the game description: a pop-up window will be prompted and you can authorize your pc.

My songs on itunes will not upload on to my new 5th generation touch ipod

The songs I got off from youtube and converted on to itunes will not upload on to my new 5th generation i-pod? The message says that itunes can't find the songs. I have 387 songs from youtube and I don't want to have to convert them again.

The message means what it says. iTunes can't find the actual music files. You can confirm that by trying to play the songs in iTunes on the computer.
- Try:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
- Next reimport them

Video podcast will not upload onto iPod. Dimension changed!problem!

I usually subscribe to a specific vid podcast but lately i have noticed that my ipod will not sync the new vid podcasts. it's very frustrating! i have had a closer look and realised that the vids that don't sync into my iPod have a larger dimension 852x480 compared to the old 480x270. This is an MPEG-4 file. What is the problem? What should i do? Can i adjust the dimension? if yes how? I'm not sure if this is the problem but if there are any suggestions i'd appreciate them.

When the Sync finishes, do you see a message saying something like "video xxxx has not been transferred to your iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod"? If so, you could try highlighting the video in question and clicking on *Advanced/Create iPod or iPhone version* (it will be different wording if you are using iTunes 7 or earlier!).
However, unless iTunes 8 has "improved" this feature, it takes along time to convert and it does not always work. I gave up with the conversions.
The "problem" is probably caused by the Podcast producer changing the format of their Podcasts, possibly for a good reason. Check first in iTunes or even on the Podcast producer's web site, do they have a different Podcast (of the same programme) especially for the iPod and you are downloading the wrong one?
(Out of interest, what is the vid Podcast you are referring to, did you subscribe to it in iTunes?)
After that, you could try contacting the Podcast's producers to let them know what has happened. Bear in mind though, that Podcasts are produced independently of Apple/iTunes and are intended for all makes of MP3, not just iPods. So they may not care that only iPod users cannot watch it.
Good luck.

My replacement iPod will not sync. I've purchase new songs and albums and can see them on my PC. but they will not sync. When I select the devises from the menu the Sync is greyed out..

I just had to replace my classic iPod, lost all my music (except previously purchased). New (refurbished) iPod will not sync the new music I've just purchased or the CD's I've uploaded. When selecting the Devises in the menu, Sync is greyed out. I need help. When I plug my iPod into the PC and is shows it is syncing it only picks up my previous music,

See this article how to transfer your data? How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
As mentioned by vazandrew, music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Index.htm will NOT upload . . . desperate : /

This is my own site which I've run for 3 years. Same
computer, same program, didn't touch site set up, firewalls or
anything. This morning I make a few quick text changes to the
homepage and the file will not upload. It has in fact wiped out my
entire homepage because once it did kind of upload but some "files
were skipped during the operation". Yeah. Some files. Like, all of
them. (
http://www.ExchangeHJ.com)
The error is "no response from server" However, I created
this file:
http://www.exchangehj.com/test.html
and it uploaded just fine.
I can also connect to other sites on different servers and
upload fine.
It appears to be just index.htm. I have tried to change the
name to default.html, still will not upload
(Made switch to CS3 last year so all newer files are html and
old files are htm, has never caused a problem as long as the links
are right everywhere)
Please, any ideas? This is a online company web site, a blank
homepage is not okay. And it's killing my saturday . . . I just
wanted to post a quick note to the site :(
The rest of the site is still there:
http://www.exchangehj.com/equineMarketing.htm
If you try to go to home page from there you get Page Not
Found (it calls specifically for index.htm)
If you just type site url it come up blank.
help. thank you.

An Album (CD) I have imported in my iTunes, and is on my iPod, will not sync over to my iPad. Why not?

An Album (CD) that I have successfully imported into iTunes, and synced with my iPod, will NOT sync with my iPad, even though I have done everything I know how to do so. When viewing the music in "On This iPad" mode, I can actually see the album there, but it is grayed out, and in the left hand column there is a circle with dotted lines, as if it is an incomplete download--which in essence it is. But I have the album (CD) in my iTunes and on my iPod, just like hundreds of other CD's--what's up with this one?
Another characteristic is that since trying to import this CD into my iPad, I cannot get a successful sync of the iPad now; the syncing process hangs up in "Waiting for changes to be applied" for 3 or 4 minutes, and then it just stops. No message that "The syncing process is complete. Please eject before disconnecting." The sync just quits on its own, so I take it that the syncing process was unsuccessful.
Now what?

Make sure that your music is in the format supported by the iPhone. I use either MP3 or AAC.
A friend had the same problem a while back. All his music was in the WMA format and is therefore not playable on the iPhone and would not copy. Once he converted his songs to MP3 they copied to his iPhone without problem.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable usin ghte same wall plug in the same wall socket?

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?

Hi there Apples or Pears,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the articles below.
