Bought refurbished ipod classic, recognized by macbook, however will not sync.

-i created a new itunes library seperate from old ipod (so the 2 can both sync)
-i reinstalled itunes (however, was already at latest version)
-i factory reset ipod as i initially plugged it in
-after computer synced ipod, i ejected it and it did not contain any music
-plugged back in, have restored ipod at least 20 times in the past couple of days- nothing works
-the ipod screen when plugged in, is "connected" however rarely says "syncing" (when it does say "synching", it is only for a few seconds)
any help is greatly appreciated!!

This is a problem caused by 10.10.2, only way to fix it at the moment is to revert to 10.10.1.
Quite a few threads on it on other sites and only that one solution. Make sure you raise a feedback to apple though.

  • IPod Classic songs were wiped out - will not sync with iTunes

    iPod Classic turned on and has zero music - somehow wiped out.  Will not sync to iTunes - iTunes freezes when iPod is connected but works fine when no iPod connected.  iPod was reset to the original date of 2000 and mostly sits with the apple logo.  iTunes has current version - tried resetting the iPod but iTunes still does NOT recognize the iPod. 

    Fixed it after some more fiddling - restored iPod from the frist sync a few days back, and then tried again.

  • IPod classic recognized by iTunes, but does not sync properly...

    When I sync (automatically or manually, I've tried both) my 160gb iPod on iTunes, the iPod says "Syncing" for a few moments before changing to "connected" (as if it were done syncing). My iTunes shows that the iPod is syncing, yet nothing happens.
    I have reset my iPod, and restarted my notebook, but this problem seems to persist. I have not restored my iPod and/or removed iTunes and reloaded it, as both of these take significant time.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I would go the restore route myself. Shouldn't take super long. Ya not quick, but sure beats not being able to sync it at all.
    Cheers,

  • My Mac Mail subfolders on my MacBook Air will not sync in alphabetical order. I am assuming it is a setting that I am not finding since my iMac based at my home office is fine, so is my iPad and iPhone. The core source is Exchange.

    If you have been using the mac.com Apple ID to make iTunes purchases recently, then there should be no issues continuing to use it with the new iPhone. I would abandon the new ID as you will never get Apple to merge the two IDs. I have had a mac.com ID for years and continue to use it with my iPhone 4S.
    Tell us the issues that you encounter trying to set up the iPhone with the mac.com account.

  • My MacBook Pro will not sync address book changes with my IPhone.  Why?  It used to.

    My MacBook Pro will not sync address book changes with my IPhone.  Why?  It used to.

    Then you may have to try manually resetting the syncservices folder by following Julian Write's post (from https://discussions.apple.com/message/9274781#9274781):
    Ok, as you can't reset SyncServices in the "normal" way, you'll have to resort to the "other" way:
    Although it's not advised to do so in normal circumstances, you'll need to manually delete the SyncServices folder.
    Before doing so, you MUST make a backup of both your Contacts and Calendars:
    In Address Book, choose *Export > Address Book Archive...* from the File menu.
    In iCal, choose *Back up iCal...* from the File menu.
    Then, make a backup of the SyncServices folder located at:
    ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    By backing everything up first, you don't risk losing anything.
    Finally delete the aforementioned SyncServices folder and restart the Mac. This will force Mac OS X to recreate the SyncServices folder, and hopefully fix your problem.
    I believe in Snow Leopard you can back up your calendar in File>Export>iCal Archive rather than File>Back up iCal as posted above.

  • MacBook Air will not sync with icloud

    my macbook air will not sync with my icloud account.
    I have tried reseting the i cloud preferences and have trashed the calender caches
    still does not sync.

    If you haven't already done so, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac and go back and sign back in.  This deletes the iCloud account and iCloud data (if any) from your Mac but not from iCloud.  Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.

  • HT1386 selected itunes on macbook pro will not sync to iPad

    selected itunes on macbook pro will not sync to ipad

    Might there be an ownership issue --- such as:
    Might the tunes that do not sync to the iPad have been purchased using a different Apple ID and password than are either used on the iPad or authorized on the computer's iTunes?
    Remember, purchased music is protected.  It cannot be indiscriminately shared.

  • New Macbook iCal will not sync to MobileMe

    I bought a new macbook air and when i turn on syncing, my mobileme account will not sync the calendar saying mobile me needs to be fixed...the dialog box says:
    "You need to replace your calendar information on MobileMe." If this computer has the most current information, click replace. If the most current information is on another computer, click Fix Later and replace your information from that computer...
    Thanks for any ideas...

    Sounds like exactly the same problem I have. Have Black MacBook and iPhone 3Gs synced to MobileMe and everything works. I set up a White MacBook (both MacBooks are 10.5.8) with new HD, formatted, new install of Leopard, new application installs, ran software update until all are current, then ran Repair Permissions.
    Then turned on MobileMe sync. Safari bookmarks, Mail, Contacts, etc all sync fine and near real time for changes. iCal on computer is completely blank--didn't even update the 4 named calendars. I reset iSync history and tried replacing data on computer with MobileMe content. Nothing. Then reset iSync history again and tried merging all data. This time it said there was over 3,000 calendar events to add. Sounded good. But nothing happened.
    Looks like I can create a new event in iCal and it syncs to MobileMe, then delete in MM and it updates on MacBook. But zero existing events in MM show in iCal on MacBook, even when I edit one and resave it.
    Update: I sent a message to Apple at www.apple.com/feedback.

  • HT1386 After restoring iPod to its original settings, iTunes will not sync with iPod

    I restored my iPod Nano 4th generation to original settings and now when I try to sync it with iTunes, only a few songs will transfer and I get a message saying file could not be found. Some of the songs in my iTunes library were transferrred from another computer and the files somehow did not transfer. However, even the songs I purchased recently will not sync. I have tried downloading the latest version of iTunes and restarting my iPod. Help!

  • I found an old iPod classic of mine.  It's not synced to my new MacBook Pro.  How can I get the music and photos off of it and on to my new computer?  When I plug it in to my new computer it wants to erase what is on it and transfer from my new computer.

    I found an old iPod classic of mine that is synced to a computer that is long gone.  I want to get the music and photos from this old iPod onto my new computer.  Every time I hook the iPod up to my new computer it wants to delete what is on the iPod and replace with the contents of the iTunes that is currently on the new computer.  I don't want to do that.  I want to keep what is on the old iPod and transfer it to iTunes.  Any help?  Thanks!

  • IPod Classic recognized by iTunes, but won't sync? (Windows 8)

    iTunes recognizes it and I can go to the menu that displays the filled memory, options (enables disk use, sync only checked songs, etc.), and "sync" button. The iPod screen says that it is connected and charging, and it does not freeze. The computer doesn't have any issues; iTunes (11.0.0.163) doesn't crash or anything.
    Everything seems fine, but when I click the "sync" button, nothing happens. I tried changing some settings and hitting "apply" instead to sync it, but that doesn't work either.
    My computer is running Windows 8, and I've heard that some people have been having problems with using iTunes on this operating system. The only solution I've found is to make sure disk use is enabled, but that hasn't worked for me (it seems to only apply to newer models of iPod, not my Classic). I honestly don't know what I'll do if Windows 8 is incompatible with Classics because I just spent a lot of money on the iPod and this is the only computer I can use!
    I'd love some help with this. Solutions are preferable of course, but even if you can just identify whether this is a problem with me/my computer or with Apple vs Windows, it'd be much appreciated! Thanks

    What seems to have worked is checking "manually manage music and videos" and dragging all my music onto my iPod, instead of just letting the normal iTunes sync work.
    I'm still upset about this, but as long as I can SOMEHOW get music on my iPod, I can wait until Apple fixes this problem. Which they better do.
