IPod shuffle doesn't sync with iTunes??

iPod shuffle doesn't sync with iTunes??

After connecting it, the light should continue to flash (if you use the Manually manage music or Enable disk use setting), or it should become a solid (not flashing) color (if you use automatic syncing). The light going OFF may indicate that the shuffle is not able to charge. You are using the original USB cable that came with the shuffle (it has a mini-dock), correct?
That problem could be caused by the shuffle itself. Since a 2nd gen shuffle is at least five or six years old at this point, it may be the battery becoming worn out. It may also be a problem on the USB port. As a test, try shutting down (powering off) the Mac and disconnect all USB devices (including any hub), except for standard keyboard and mouse (if used). Do this to reset the shuffle

Start up the Mac, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the Mac. Is there any difference?

I forgot passcode on my iphone5 and tried to restore it through itunes on my PC. However it gave me an error message saying that that my phone could't be restored due to an unknown error. Now my phone does't turn off and it doesn't sync with itunes.

My iphone 5 doesn't sync with itunes on my pc. it says this computer has previously been synced to another io6 device or iphone? please help what to do?

The error message you're seeing is likely the other way around -- i.e. something like "This iPhone has previously been synced with a different computer". There's no problem syncing multiple iOS devices to the same computer.
However, the reverse is not true for the iPhone -- you cannot connect an iPhone to another computer without it being erased, even if you manually manage music and video. So, it sounds like you've been syncing your iPhone to a different computer?
Also, 5.1 (not 5.0.1) is the latest iOS.

My ipod charges, but doesn't sync to itunes

This is the Mac OS X Technologies > iSync forum - you are a Windows user.
iSync is a Mac-only application for syncing Contacts and Calendars to mobile phones and PDAs. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Windows, iPods or iTunes.

Iphone 4 doesn't sync w/itunes

Hej there.. I've a problem with iphone4 that doesn't sync with itunes or aperture.. doesn't appear!
Mac OS X 10.7.3
itunes 10.6.1
I've checked if there is any software update and I resarted both, computer and iphone.. still nothing. In the iphone settings, general, iTunes Wi-fi Sync, "Sync Now is not available....
I don't know what to do..

"About iTunes" says I have v7.3 (54). I'm pretty sure that's the latest version. It includes a tab in Preferences for "iPhone." My phone just doesn't show up.
I've tried resetting all data on my iPhone, in the hopes that iTunes would recognize it as a "new" phone and offer to sync to it. But nothing happened, and now I have an empty iPhone.

IPod doesn't sync with iTunes anymore!! HELP!!

I am in complete despair - my iPod doesn't sync with iTunes anymore. It all started a couple of days ago, after installing the latest updates of both, iTunes and iPod. After that, I noticed that the iPod wasn't synching the changes and new additions I had made in iTunes.
I tried everything so far with no success. I did reset the iPOd, reinstalled the iPod updater, than did a RESTORE and now my iPod is completely empty, but refuses to download my music from iTunes.
When connected, it shows up, start "updating iPod" and several seconds later shows "update complete". In the iPod window I can all the songs (in grey) from my library, but they are not being transferred to my iPod!!!
Please, help!!

I think I know the problem and it's solution. The iPod "thinks" it's linked to a different library and therefore does not synchronize. No idea what happens in the background there, but here is what I did:
First, I went back to the previous update on the iPod (not sure if that's necessary at all, but I just wanted to go to where I started from.
The UNinstalled iTunes (to be safe I backed up my tunes) and reinstalled it. Then pasted backed up tunes into new iTunes music folder and overwrote newly created iTunes library files.
Then I connected the iPod, which now told me that I had an old version and needed to update, which I did.
Then a window popped up and told me that my iPod was connected to a different library and if I want to connect to this one, overwriting everything on the iPod, which I said yes to (it didn't matter anyway, since it was now empty after the RESTORE I had done).
iPod then downloaded all the songs from my library again and we are as happy together as we've been before
I think what happened was that after installing the latest update, that window with the "different library connection" had popped up as well and I must have clicked NO because of the "overwrite" comment which scared me. Unfortunately, even with "reset warnings" it then never popped up again and until I reinstalled iTunes.
Hope this helps!

Apple TV wishlist doesn't sync with iTunes

Hi!
I've recently discovered that movies I had added to my wishlist on last gen's Apple TV don't show up in wishlist neither on my Mac's iTunes, nor in any of the iOS devices. And vice versa – anything I add to my wishlist on my other devices just don't show up in Apple TV's wishlist. Mac and iOS wishlists seem to be syncing fine, but Apple TV refuses to sync properly.
Is this the way Apple TV is supposed to work, or something is broken and needs to be fixed?
I have the last generation Apple TV, updated to the latest OS version just today. Can't say if this worked fine with the previous OS since I never tested wishlists before.
I would be glad for any help.

Or even
https://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
or the iTunes Store variant
This is an odd omission I agree.
I also find it odd there is no wishlist in the Mac App Store.

You cannot update iTunes on an iPad. The lastest version of iTunes on the iPad is updated when you update it's iOS
You can update iTunes to the latest version 11.1.2 on your Mac if it supports the following:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store

IPod doesn't sync with iTunes on Windows Vista

Hi there!
I'm experiencing the following problem:
the iPod charges when connected to my pc, but doesn't display within iTunes (and Windows Explorer). The 'round load' icon displays for 2 seconds in my iPod when I connect it via my USB 2.0, then disappears.
A few times it has appeared, but then I got a message that the iPod isn't functioning properly anymore (with iTunes) and that the iPod needs to be reset.
When I'm chosing the option to restore, I see a window with a downloading bar but it seems to keep hanging. I tried to restore my iPod several times via this procedure, but even if I waited some hours it is still loading, so it seems to keep hanging within this process.
In order to see wheter this problem has already been known and solved, I've read through the knowledgebase.
I have read the following article:
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61711
Unfortunately, proceeding through these steps didn't help me further. Also, I read through the following threads:

iPod, when plugged in charges, but doesn't show up on windows, or itunes.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=736748&tstart=0
The action steps provided within these threads also didn't help me further.
Could you please help me to resolve this issue?
Thank you for your time reading this post, any help is appreciated.

I wonder wheter there is a possibility to add files like screenshots and process dumps in order to give the ability for further analysis.

Apple TV (2) Not Syncing with iTunes 10 on MacBook Pro OSX 10.6.8

My Macbook Pro was recently updated to OSX 10.6.8 and iTunes 10. I cannot get my Apple TV (2) to sync with it. It is connected to the internet and I can watch trailers on the Apple TV as well as see/listen to my pics and songs from before the sync. In wireless settings, everything is set up properly.
The TV does not appear on the left menu bar in iTunes. Halp!

ATV2 does not show up in iTunes nor does it have syncing abilities. You have to enable home sharing in iTunes and ATV2 (in settings) and it you library will show up on the computers tab on the ATV

Apple TV music purchase synced with itunes..... now can not find original

Recently purchased a CD via Apple tv. iTunes completed the sync and the album appeared in my library. After another re-sync the next day and error in itunes appears. "original file cant be found. would you like to locate"
yes i would...... does anyone know where it is?

Jerry Hillard wrote:
apple tv has been synced numerous times and still has the original files.
Yes it may be simply stuck on there after being downloaded and didn't properly transfer, but if it has been downloaded, transferred to itunes, removed from the tv and then synced back again from the copy (that's now missing) from itunes, then if you remove the listing in itunes (the one that reports the original as missing) then the next sync might remove it from the tv.
