Can't select podcasts to sync to iPod nano in iTunes 12.1
I cannot always select the podcasts to sync by checking the boxes next to the podcasts, They won't check, or sometimes the item above the one I'm pointing at checks. This problem started with iTunes 12.01 and is still there in 12.1. The only fix I've found is to go to the podcast in my library and manually "Add to" my IPod nano, although everything in the list is checked like it should already be sync-ing. Very cumbersome! (iTunes 12.1, iPod Nano, 16 GB, Windows 7)
I sync almost everything automatically, but have been having this problem with the TED Talks video podcasts, which I do sync manually. (iTunes 12.0.1; Windows 7; iPod Touch)

Can't select podcasts to sync with iPod Nano
I am running iTunes 12.1.0.71 (64-bit) on a Windows 8 computer. When I have my iPod Nano connected to the computer and try to manually check the podcasts I want to sync, the checkboxes don't work as they should. When I click on the check box of a podcast, it sometimes selects the podcast above it, sometimes it selects nothing -- what it never does is select the podcast next to the check box (ie the one I want to sync). Any ideas??
Kiwi if you're still following this, I have a workaround. Instead of going to the iPod sync screen, instead just start on your normal iTunes Podcasts screen. You can manually drag individual episodes to the left side of the screen, and your iPod should show up right above your playlists. Very cumbersome if you have non-sequential episodes you want to add, but it works. You can also ctrl-click to select or deselect all podcasts in the normal syncing screen.
Back in the good old days, these sorts of workarounds were much easier to discover since there were always a dozen different methods to do the same task. Unfortunately I've found that is becoming harder and harder with iTunes. -
Selecting media to sync to iPod Nano causes iTunes to become sluggish and freeze.
For the past few months I've noticed that when I update the content on my 6th Gen iPod Nano iTunes will freeze after I switch from music to audiobooks, or anything for that matter. The same issue happens when I try to select specific artists, or an audiobook.
Hello Jeremy Sample,

How can I select podcasts to sync
It looks like new iTunes software doesn't let me select (checkboxes) which podcasts I want to sync only let me sync new or all but not selected from all.
Did I miss some options or what?
Thanks for any help.There is a bug on the new version of itunes (itunes 12), which prevents you from selecting individual podcasts for syncing correctly to older ipods. When you check one box another selects and then you can't uncheck it.
Syncing a whole series works but not individual episodes. This bug did not exist on itunes 11.
There doesn't appear to be anything being done about it. -
Problems syncing my ipod nano to iTunes
I have a ipod nano and pc-Windows Vista. Tried to sync my ipod to iTunes for some recent songs, but when I go to file and then to where it states "sync ipod" it is not in bold letters to where I can click it to sync. My ipod was hooked up to the computer and it use to automatically sync, but not this time, I have had no previous problems in the past. Suggestions as to what might be wrong or what I might be over looking?
Why not? What happens when you try? Any error messages? If so, what is the exact wording of these error messages?

HT1386 Unable to sync my ipod nano with itunes
I have added some new music to my itunes, attempted to syn my ipod nano and instead of adding the music it has completely emptied ALL of the music off my ipod! I have made several attempts - doing what I have always done to add music, but to no avail?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

My ipod is recognized in Windows but itunes won't synch thwe ipod nano. An error message says "The ipod "name of my ipod" cannot be synched. The required folder cannot found. The first time I downloaded itunes 11 it didn't install but it completely uninstalled the previous itunes. I've reinstalled and removed itunes 11 several times but nothing changes. Waht do I do?
You don't.
Itunes 11 is a program for your computer, not your iphone -
I get the feeling some has asked a question "like" this but not exactly that question which makes it really hard for find answers fast to the above question. Therefore, I decided to ask it anyway. Hopefully someone has a good solution that will work.
Background on the question:
- I had to erase and reupload song on my ipod 1st gen to my new computer. Apparently the ipod could not be read by the iTunes in my new computer because the playlist cannot be opened in more than one iTunes or in another computer or something like that (this makes no sense). All this was to try and charge my ipod that does not seem to want to charge. It connects perfectly to the computer and I can see the initial blinking yellow lights on the back and front, but won't charge. I am currently working on this problem from other community discussion topics.Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer. -

HT1386 I can't sync my podcasts on my new ipod nano 6th gen
I can't sync my podcasts on my new ipod nano 6th Gen. Music syncs just fine.
In iTunes, when your iPod nano (Hhhmmm! This is the iPod Touch forum, but never mind) is showing in iTunes, look on the Device/Podcasts pane and choose the Sync Podcasts options that you want.

My podcasts will no longer sync with my ipod classic. Also when I tried to sync in itunes, the category "podcast" disappeared under my ipod listed in itunes.
Are you sure your iPod Classic is configured to sync podcasts to your device? You'll want to double check by taking a quick look at your iPod's Podcast configuration tab in iTunes.
To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes when it appears to bring yourself to the iPod's Summary tab. Now locate the Podcasts tab and select it. Under this tab you can configure how and what podcasts are synced to your device. If you make any changes, be sure to click theApply button in the lower right hand corner.

Just purchased Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows. But a few of the cuts did not download properly and can't be played or synced with ipod. Any help?
Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

my computer got all messed up so now i am using a different user on the computer to use it. iTunes isn't letting me sync my ipod touch 4g. It keeps on saying "This ipod is synced with another iTunes library. An iPOd can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time." I don't think i want to try the erase and sync method because i think it will delete everything. Is there anyway that i can sync my ipod into this iTunes and not have everything deleted?
No.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back. -
When I connect my iPod Touch to a new laptop (Macbook Air) the "Info" tab won't appear and therefore I cannot sync it with my new iTunes. How can I sync this iPod with the iTunes on my new laptop?
There is no Info tab in Mavericks
if you use OS X v.10.8.5 or earlier. If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.
