Can not sync ipod with window 8

In attempting to sync my iPod using Windows 8 I get stuck in a loop.  "Computer no longer authorized for purchased items".  And, "Computer already authorized".  Which takes me back to the first message.  How do I get out of this loop and sync my iPod?

  • I can not sync ipod due to 6gb of 'other', how do I get rid of this?

    I can not sync ipod due to 6gb of 'other', how do i get rid of this?

    Hello drumsdonkey,
    Thanks for the question. The following article outlines issues with free space, capacity, and a large amount of "other" space. While it refers to iOS devices, most steps are applicable for your situation as well:
    iOS: 'Not enough free space' alert when trying to sync
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1503
    One symptom of this issue will be displayed in iTunes where the Capacity indicator for the iOS device will report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the device. To resolve this issue:
    - Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
    - Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    - Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
    - Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
    Thanks,

  • Can't sync iPod on Windows "Can't find file" message

    This is my umpteenth problem with iTunes since getting Vista. Can't resist sharing that.
    Problem: I sync my iPod (bought it two years ago; audio and video, it downloads some of my music, shows the progress on the "bar", then it gets stuck on one song, will sit there for five minutes trying to download and then gives me the error message "Can't sync iPod. Can't find the necessary file" or words to that effect. I try ejecting my iPod and while my iTunes goes back to normal, my I have to wait for my iPod to run out of power before it returns to normal.
    I uninstalled iTunes and downloaded it again and got the same result. However, the newly downloaded iTunes still kept my old play lists so maybe it was not completely downloaded even though it disappeared from my computer.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Can not sync itunes with 4S

    My wife had a 3GS, and now has a 4S. I can not sync her iphone with her itunes account. I have made her administrator on my laptop, uninstalled itunes, reinstalled itunes to no avail. Sometimes itunes locks up when I plug her phone in and I have to start windows task manager to close it out. It shows itunes is not responding. Then sometimes it will show her phone listed in itunes but I keep getting the blue circle like it's downloading and nothing. Again I have to start windows task manager to close it out. Shows itunes not responding. Any suggestions? I have 5 different accounts for 5 different people on the laptop. Each one of us has an itunes account. 3 for iphones, and 2 with itouches. My wifes itunes is the only one I'm having a problem with. 

    I am having the same issue except mine was Floater-4. Anyone knows the answer, please reply. Thanks!

  • Ipod touch will not sync fully with windows 7

    i recently installed windows 7 on my laptop and ever since i have had trouble with my ipod touch. everytime i try to sync it to my itunes library it starts to sync and then my ipod dissapars from itunes, as if it's not even connected anymore, then it reappears and says that "the ipod can not be synced, the disk can not be read from or written to". when i look check my music on my ipod only hlf of my songs, videos, and album artwork is on it. does anyone else have this problem or a solution?

    Hello iTouch,
    Try a hard reset of your iPod. Hold down the home and sleep/wake buttons until a red slider appears at the top of the lock screen. Sliding it will power off your iPod. Turn it back on and then try connecting it to iTunes.
    That's actually a soft reset.
    A hard reset requires you to hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
    Keep up the good work though.

  • Can't sync iPod with iTunes 11.05 (5)

    Ever since the upgrade to 11.05 I can't sync my iPods and I have to force quit iTunes every time as the application is not responding. Before the upgrade everything was fine. I've tried plugging in the iPods and launching iTunes and opening iTunes and plugging in the iPods all with the same result... Application Not Responding. Also iTunes doesn't see my iPad now over wifi which it did before I have to plug it into the cable!!
    Great update guys... NOT!!

  • Syncing iPod with Windows

    I am wondering if I am able to connect my configured MAC ipod with the windows itunes?

    If your iPod is formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive. If the iPod is going to be used permanently on a PC or on both Windows and OS X then it would be best to restore and reformat the iPod in iTunes for Windows. Macs can read Windows drives so you can reload the songs from your Mac and use it on both platforms. Once it's restored for Windows any future software updates will have to be done on the PC to maintain the formatting. Alternatively there are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows, this is one for instance gets good reviews: XPlay 2iPod on Mac and Windows

  • Can not sync centro with MSI Wind

    I just purchased a new netbook (MSI Wind) and I want to use my Centro for internet (via PdaNet).  I have done this in the past with my MacBook Pro (running Windows XP Pro in boot camp) and with my Latitude D630 (also Windows XP Pro).  For some reason, however, I can't even get hotsync to work with the MSI Wind (running Windows XP home). 
    I started out by installing the latest version of PalmDesktop (downloaded from Palm.com).  During the point in time where the installation calls for syncing, I tried to sync and it would not work.  There was no error on the PC.  No hotsync window opened.  Eventually the centro just gave me a generic "can not connect" message: 
    "The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established.  Please check your setup and try again." 
    Of course I tried the online support first: http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=PalmSupportKB,ts=Palm_External2001,Case=obj(2630)
    I did everything I could: disconnect Plam device, soft reset, clean the connector, check the ports, etc.  I used the developer's back door.  I tried rebooting the MSI Wind and trying again.  (Yes, the Palm Desktop application is running.)  I tried plugging my Centro into the Dell Latitude I have laying around.  It synced.  I plugged it back into the MSI Wind.  No die.  I tried multiple ports on the MSI Wind.  The only thing I didn't do is check the HotSync configuration because the link from the KB article is broken: http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=PalmSupportKB,ts=Palm_External2001,Case=obj(28536), but I did check all the settings that I could see from the PalmDesktop installation on the Dell (where it works) and the MSI (where it doesn't) and everything looked identical to me.  I also haven't re-installed the PalmDesktop softare (yet) because it doesn't make sense that there would be left-over files from a previous installation given that this is a fresh installation of Windows and the first time I've installed PalmDesktop.
    I don't know what the problem is.  Any further suggestions?  It's really a bummer.  The MSI Wind is pretty much useless to me if I can't get internet to it via the cell phone, and I can't do that if I can't even get hotsync to work.
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    I managed to get the hotsync to work eventually.  I had tried the USB port on the right and the one on the left closest to the battery.  Neither worked.  I figured if 2 didn't work, the third wouldn't either, but when I plugged it into the USB port on the left farthest from the battery it suddenly started working.
    I have no explanation for this.
    Now if only I could figure out the darn Bluetooth...

  • Sync iPod with Windows Live Mail Calender

    I know that it is possible to sync a calender with Outlook however I was wondering whether it is possible to do it with Windows Live Mail as it simply does not give me the option.

    Hi Cnoc,
    Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Just to clarify, how did you synchronize your Windows Live Contacts with your BlackBerry?
    Windows Live is not a supported organizer to sync with using the Blackberry Desktop Software. This is why its not appearing as an option when you're setting up synchronization. http://bbry.lv/lZWDzG

  • Can not sync ipod shuffle says : The Ipod SYS  cannot be used with itunes  because it is not formatted properly. But i have restore it several times and still not working

    Hi, I'm trying to sync my new Ipod to get the new album I got but when I connected it the meesage: The Ipod SYS  cannot be used with itunes  because it is not formatted properly. appears in itunes. I have restored several times now but it is not working I already downloaded music to it, it is brand new..just 2 weeks old. Somebody can help me? Do I need to return it to the store I bought it from?

    The last Restore completed without any error message, or do you get the "ipod SYS" error message?
    I'm thinking this is a case of iTunes and Windows confusing the iPod's storage disk with another drive, described here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1493
    So, iTunes/Windows thinks another drive is the iPod, and errors out because that drive is not formatted as expected (for an iPod).  The solution, in the document linked above, is to change the iPod's assigned drive letter.

  • How can I sync IPod, with lots of music, to ITunes empty library?

    I lost my entire ITunes library when I had to format the hard drive. Now I want to sync all the info in my iPod into this new library. I wory that the sync may go the other way and empty my IPod. When I connect the IPod to the computer it tells me that it is synced with a different library. (This must be the one that was deleted when I formatted the disk).
    Please help

    1). Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
