BIG problems syncing music to ipod...help please!
Hi
I am having all sorts of trouble with my ipod – a 4 g mini.
The problem is occurring when I try to load music onto it. It is extremely temperamental, and iTunes will suddenly freeze when I am syncing a track – different tracks, not the same track each time. The ipod then freezes and I have to reboot it and start again – usually losing all the songs on it.
When it happens the screen will say one or all of the following…
“The file or directory \ipod_control\itunes\itunesControl is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the chkdsk utility”
Or, “ITunes cannot read the contents of the Ipod. Click ‘restore’ to restore this ipod to factory settings.” (I did that,didn’t help).
Or, it will the “ipod cannot be updated. The required file cannot be found.”
Or, “Windows was unable to save all the data for the file E:. 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.
I have tried then to sync the tracks one CD at a time (instead of the whole lot together). I normally get some of the way through before it all freezes up again and I have to start over.
I have wiped iTunes off my computer and downloaded it again, but that hasn’t helped
I have Ipod 7 downloaded onto my computer (which doesn’t have broadband). My Ipod software version is 1.4.1
Have I just got a dodgy ipod? Is there anything I can do? This is driving me CRAZY!!!!
thanks
Emma

Problem Syncing music to iPod....PLEASE HELP!!!
When I click on the sync ipod icon a warning message pops up saying that the songs can't sync because all playlists selected to sync no longer exist.
What can I do to fix this problem???This problem arises when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting:

ever since upgrading to itunes 7.1 and 7.1.1, i've had problems syncing music to my ipod. When I use the dock and the firewire connection, it is extremely slow to transfer songs from itunes to ipod, then the ipod eventually just freezes. When I connect the USB 2.0 cable, it transfers songs quickly, but then just automatically shuts itself off and ejects itself from itunes/computer. then I get the message that "the device was not put away properly". please help, thanks!
I am having a similar problem. I have not been able to sync my ipod since updating to 7.1.1

itunes wont sync music onto ipod because the file/disk could not be read or written...help me pleasee i just want my music onto ipod.. all the music is still on my itunes and i have like 300 songs but its wont go onto my ipod!!!!
You can only drag and drop if you have iTunes configured to manually manage music. With the iPod connected to the compute go to the Summary pane for the iPod and check the box under Options that says sync only checked songs and videos.

Im trying to get some purchased songs to sync onto my ipad, but when i try it says they could not be synced as i need to authorise my computer which has been done already but its still not syncing them can someone help please?
Hello there, Gemss.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for the issue you're describing:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
Although all of the scenarios may be applicable, many folks find that the following section helps resolve their issue most often:
Authorize using the correct account name
The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Any help would be appreciated. I can not figure out how to get my new music to sync to my ipod touch. Never had this problem before?
YES Terence! Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop. But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now. Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore? I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option.
I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs. I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly. I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working.
Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?! I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires.
Thank you so much for your help. I really, really appreciate it. -
I have looked all over itunes for help, please help me figure this out. I just want to sync the music from my itunes accout from my old iPod onto my new one that I got off of ebay. I have registered it but it will still not work. Is there anything I can do? Should I call Apple? Can I reregister it? Is there some other way for me to connect it to my account? Please help me:(
The ! sign before the song means that the actual song is no longer on your computer and/or iTunes library.

Problems Syncing Music - iPod data erased
I have a friend who has a 60GB(?) Fifth-Generation iPod that she purchased a few months back, and she's been having some trouble figuring it out.
The most recent (and only, at the moment) problem she is having involves syncing music. Whenever she goes to sync her new music from he library, her iPod wipes itself clean of all files. It was working perfectly fine before.
How can she go about fixing this situation? She has the most recent version of iTunes and her operating system is Windows XP.
Thank you.You cannot auto sync with more than one computer, well yea you can, but you've experienced what happens when you do. You CAN however manually manage your music and get music from multiple computers. Please see this article about doing that:
