Can no longer sync Ipod.

I was syncing my ipod after adding some new things to my library and it told me that there wasn't enough space on my ipod, should it create a playlist and just sync that instead.
I clicked yes not really playing much attention, and then after looking at the playlist it was syncing realised that I didn't want it to do tat as some of my favourtie songs might not have ended up on my ipod, so I deleted the playlist. Now I can no longer sync my ipod at all as a message comes up saying something about it not being able to sync as not all playlists are present.
How can I fix this? I go on holiday on Friday with my dad I need my ipod!!

as a message comes up saying something about it not being able to sync as not all playlists are present.
Here's one way around that. First, in itunes, work out what plylists you want to synch to the iPod and/or create additional playlists containg the material you want to sync to the iPod.
Now plug in the iPod. When it connects, in iTunes click on the Music tab for the iPod. Under "Sync Music" you will currently have "selected playlists" selected.
In the list of playlists beneath that, deselect the playlists that you deleted earlier, and select the playlists that you do want to sync to the iPod. Then click the "Apply" button.

After updating to iTunes 7.1, I can no longer sync iPod from iPhoto

After updating iTunes to 7.1, my iPod started crashing. I used Restore to resync music, but Restore or any subsequent sync in iTunes will not sync any photos from iPhoto 5.0.4.
The error message I receive is:
"The iPod "My iPod" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
iPhoto appears to work correctly, but no longer syncs. Any advice to get iPhoto working with iTunes would be welcome.
iBook G4 1Ghz/iMac G5 iSight Mac OS X (10.4.8) iPod Photo 40GB

When iTunes attempts to sync photos from iPhoto, it shows the amount of the iPod drive taken up with photos, BUT NO usage on the drive graph itself.
When Sync Photos from iPhoto is deselected and another sync attempted, iTunes asks if photos should be removed from iPod, despite the previous sync being unsuccessful. When I choose to remove the photos, the amount shown taken up by photos disappears.
Does anyone know what the error message quoted in my question above means?

IPod not recognized by PC or iTunes - can no longer sync iPod

I had to shut down my PC due to a storm and I didn't realize that my iPod was still connected with the message "do not disconnet". Now my PC does not recognize my iPod. I've tried resetting it, uninstalling/reinstalling the driver and the iTunes application, as well as a new USB cable. Nothing works. Any thoughts? Help...please...thanks~

I have similar problems with my ipod classic (I sync my ipod with my macbook). Every so often it will give me an error saying I disconnected my ipod before unmounting it (even though I did not disconnect it or tried to unmount it). This also happend on my PC running Win 7.
This error message appears to happen randomly when the ipod is syncing with iTunes. I just bought my ipod probably about a month ago and this happend about four times so far. In fact, it just happend a few minutes ago and I am reloading all of my data on it right now. My old ipod (which was stolen a few weeks back) never had this much of a problem.
The first time this happend (and after a few days of trial and error) I reformatted my ipod in FAT32, enable disk mode, then reformat again in HFS+ using itunes and syncing all of my data (the order of operations is important).
Sometimes I just had to restore the factory settings using iTunes without reformatting. Other times I had to enable disk mode and reformat HFS+ filesystem, skipping the FAT32 format.

I don't think this caused your problem because Windows unmounts (or ejects) all disks (including your ipod) from the computer before turning off. I am assuming you are turning off your computer using the start menu in Windows.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
A possible solution is to put the ipod in disk mode (this is sort of like a safe mode for the ipod), connect it to your computer and let iTunes reformat. You will lose all of your data and settings but you can always change the settings back and resync.
The apple website has directions on how to enable disk mode then reformatting your ipod.
link: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
Once you put it in disk mode, then you can let iTunes reformat and sync your data.
You might have to reformat your ipod in disk mode more than once (I usually have to do it at least twice before I can start syncing with iTunes.
I hope this helps.

I have an old Ipod 5th gen that I have been using for downloading music from my library. Upon purchasing an Ipod touch and registering it in Itunes, I can no longer sync tunes to my old ipod. How can I get that option back on my old ipod?

TS4062 After installing the lastest update to my ipod touch I can no longer sync my ipodto my computer no matter what I do. I believe it has to do with the password for my ipod and the possibly the password for my itune account. If anybody has any sugge

After installing the latest update to itunes, and my ipod, I can no longer sync my computer and my ipod nomatter what I do. I have tried everything I know and can read. I am beginning to think it has something to do with the password that I changed, but I tried to change it back and nothing happens. Does anybody have any suggestions. I have been working on this for three hours and I can't figure it out? Apple is no help and it was their updates that messed the whole thing up.

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

So I have a gen2 8gig iPod touch and just the other day updated to 4.3 and now my pod wont show up in iTunes. Is it not compatible? Does this mean I can no longer sync my iPod??

I can no longer sync my iPod as it does not show up in my iTunes anymore, is this because I upgraded my Itunes??

You should still be able to sync you iPod. Your iPod just can be updated past iOS 4.2.1.
Assuming you have a PC, start her to get your computer to see the iPod.

If you have not taken the iPod apart, Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99. You can do it an an Apple store
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Or sent it to Apple

I can no longer sync music to any of my ipods. It shows that it is syncing,but it is stuck and won't go past the "syncing to ipod' state

I can no longer sync music to any of my ipods. It shows that it is syncing, but it doesn't. It worked fine a few weeks ago. Any suggestions?

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Can no longer sync photos to my iPod Photo

Without any change in hardware, but AFTER installing iTunes 7 via Software Update, I can no longer sync photos to my iPod. (I have had no problems syncing music, pictures, contacts and calendars since purchasing an iMac G5 "iSight" 15 months ago.)
Music appears to sync correctly, as do calendars and contacts. But after trying to sync photos, iTunes stops with the following message: "The iPod 'my iPod' could not be synced. The required file cannot be found."
I have Restored my iPod and attempted to sync, but receive the same message.
I REPLACED my iPod's hard drive! Upon syncing, I receive the same message.
I deleted iPhoto Library/iPod photo cache folder and was then able to sync photos to iPod, BUT upon reopening iPhoto, and a forced reindex (?) of pictures resulted in about 1/3 missing.
After restoring the iPhoto Library from a backup, syncing the iPod results in the same original error. Deselecting syncing photos in iTunes removes photos from iPod, but upon syncing, same error message.
Restoring iPod again, results in same error message.
Does anyone have a solution? What required file is missing?

I too had a problem. iTunes wouldn't sync any photos nor list my iPhoto Albums.
I created a second iPhoto library and then added some photos and created several albums to see if iTunes could see the new iPhoto library. It did see the new library. I then started to add photos to it. I finally found the offending files - 4 .avi files - that for some reason when added to the library caused iTunes to balk. I removed the files and all is well. I even have other .avi files in the original library and iTunes responds normally - just those 4 caused the problem.
