Can't Sync all with iPod

Upgraded to a new iTunes today,
Now when I import my music to library I'm getting:
"Song ... can not be used because the orignal file cannot be found"
It's happening to Random songs I think if I relocate it, then add another Album, another gets ,
If I restart iTunes there is no .. But when I try to Sync, it happens again
Any ideas?
Frank.

What you will want to do to update is close iTunes then go to www.apple.com/itunes/download and download iTunes.
For your iPod make sure it's connected directly to the back of the computer and try disconnecting your usb devices. On the screen of the iPod it should show 'Connected. Eject before disconnecting' and that will tell you that it is at least talking to the computer.
If that doesn't work try resetting the iPod by holding the Menu and the Center button at the same time until the Apple Logo appears and then release and wait for it to boot up.
Let me know if that helps, if not I have more steps to try.

With 7.0.2 can't sync library with iPod

Upgraded to 7.0.2 and during installation got a message that a corrupted Ipod had been detected. Can't figure that--all was well until upgrade. I can transfer to my library but I can't sync library to my iPod (it's all white). I've reinstalled 7.2 and restored several times but no luck. The restoration transfers new stuff but I can't do it by click & drag. Seems 7.2 is causing problems for many....any help?

I figured it out. If you've been on manual management on the previous version, when you download 7.2 you have to reactivate your manual management on the options list or your Ipod does not connect with iTunes. As simple as that.

Can't Sync Contacts with iPod on iTunes 12

Hello, It seems as if i can't sync my contacts and calendars to my iPod nano in iTunes 12. However, If i go to my iPhone, it shows the contacts & calendars are being synced to iCloud (under info). Why can't i sync them to my iPod???

Thanks.
Unfortunately there is no change. Here is what I did:
1) I synched one selected group only of the addressbook. The sync was successful.
2) A few days later when I reconnected iTouch to my Mac the iTouch appeared in iTunes and its software was automatically updated.
3) Later on, in the info tag, I unclicked the group that was initially selected (and addresses transferred) and changed the sync to "sync all". But during the transfer suddenly the iPod disconnects in the middle of the transfer. The iTouch is plugged in the Mac, but disconnected. Ans so says the warning message.
Note that the folder "sync all" as well as the initially selected group are both visible in iTouch contact groups.
any other suggestion?
Thaks again

I cannot sync songs and it doesn't show that I am connected to the cloud on my desktop. Just downloaded a bunch of songs and have no way to sync them to my ipod eventhough the ipod is connected and syncing.

OK, I finally got it - do the following:
1. Connect Pre to your computer in USB mode.
2. Open search feature and search for "ipod controls" file in the Pre drive (on my computer this is drive E
3. On the search feature, go to advanced tab and tell it to search for hidden files.
4. It should find ipod controls.
5. DELETE, DELETE, DELETE
Keep in mind that this will delete all previously uploaded music installed by using *ughhh* itunes. I love it. Now I just drag and drop all music to my Pre drive. Hope this helps. It is nice to have a fresh start without having to wipe the entire phone. Good luck out there.
This worked brilliantly!!! Thank you so much!! Pre is set......only issue now is that fact that half my music in iTunes is in a Protected AAC file format that the Pre can't play

Can't sync photos with iPod

I'm trying to load some photos in albums from iPhoto onto my iPod and it just isn't working. I click the Photos tab on the iPod screen; choose "Sync photos from iPhoto"; choose "Selected albums"; check the boxes of the albums I want uploaded onto the iPod; then press Sync. The swirling arrows come up next to the iPod name under Devices in the left column for maybe two seconds, then disappear. When I check, there are no photos on my iPod.
I've tried creating a new folder on my desktop, moving the photos into it and syncing from there - it doesn't work.
I'm doing everything right here and it just ain't happening. Can anyone help me?

I've got the same problem. Any help?

You should copy your iTunes library from the older computer to your new laptop using one of the methods described in this Apple support document.

Or if you would like you can use your iPod to move your iTunes library as well, assuming it's a model that supports Disk Mode (meaning it's not an iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad).

If I buy a new iPod touch to replace the one that burned out, can I sync all my music and apps from the old to the new? I typically didn't sync with my PC, just ordered apps a music via wi-fi, will all of that be on iTunes when I sync the new one?

My iPod Shuffle can't sync all the music in my playlist at once!

I have a two year old iPod shuffle and starting now, it can't sync all the content at once! It can only sync one song every time I press autofill. I don't want to restore it; it would take a long period of time. Please give me some tips on how to resolve this issue. Thank you!

Make sure that autosync is disabled in iTunes, connect to your new iTunes, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" This will copy all apps and bought media to your computer.
After that, right click again, this time choose "backup" to save your app data and other settings.
Make sure to have at least one contact and event set up on your computer before your sync for the first time.
Your ipod will be erased, but you can restore it from the manual backup you made before.

Can't sync playlists from ipod touch to new computer

Can't Sync Playlists from iPod Touch to New Library
I just upgraded from an old Pentium computer to a new Dell XPS 18 running Windows 8.1. Downloaded latest version of iTunes to the new computer, then successfully transferred library content from the old computer to the new one via the external hard drive method. All material -- iTunes purchases, music ripped from CDs, a movie, even MP3 files purchased long ago from another source -- transferred successfully; everything plays on the new computer just fine.
My problem is that the "old" playlists didn't transfer over. After connecting my iPod Touch to the new computer, I verified that the iPod has the latest version of iOS, and its content (including the old/original playlists) displays in the window on the left-hand side of the iTunes screen. The really frustrating thing is that I can find no way to transfer the old playlists to my new iTunes library. I've tried dragging and dropping, selecting and pasting, and exploration of all the options menus, but no luck. Creating a new playlist in the new library and then clicking on the "Add To" button opens up a window into which to drop dragged songs/folders from the new library listing, but simultaneously closes the left-hand display window with all of my iPod's current playlists depicted.
I appear successfully to have backed up my iPod to the new computer, but all the sync menu options are grayed out. When I tried clicking on the Sync button, I got a warning that syncing to the new library would erase everything from the old library -- presumably obliterating my playlists with it. I have about a dozen different playlists, some of them with several hundred songs, drawn from a library of a few thousand individual items. Is there some means of importing/transferring the old playlists to the new computer/library, so that I don't manually have to drag and drop hundreds and hundreds of songs into a new set of playlists? Am I overlooking something really obvious or simple? Can I safely turn on Home Sharing and then import or paste the old playlists into the new computer's library. I don't think I'm too much of a Luddite, but given the size of my library I'm very leery of turning on Home Sharing (to the old Pentium computer) after I've successfully transferred over many GBs of content from the old machine to the new.
Thanks very much --

Not true...you can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit.
A device is an iPhone, iPad, iPod, Mac or windows PC
Again, false...devices are NOT computers.
You might want to educate yourself before posting wrong information.

How can i sync all my music and playlists from my iphone to my new computer

how can i sync all my music and playlists from my iphone to my new computer

Yes. You can sync everything that is currently on your iPod Touch to your newer one. Just plug it in and sync it like you did with the old one.
If you want to retain your App data, see this article for information on backing up your current iPod Touch and restoring the backup onto a new one.

If you purchase the iPad, keep in mind that some Apps may not be compatible with it.
