Can't Sync ipod 80G Classic

I just burned several cds that I purchased new that, after importing, only show up in my iTunes in the Recently Added folder in Playlists. They do not, however, show up in Albums or Artists. As well, they do not sync to my iPod at all. Also, the playlist sidebars in iTunes and my iPod no longer match (apart from the recently burned cds that don't show up, other playlist folders that still show on my iPod no longer show on my computer--not sure how long that has been a problem). I have not tried importing cds into iTunes for awhile, but it was definitely before I installed the most recent update to iTunes (as of 11.13.13). I tried uninstalling the most recent update and installing a version from a couple updates ago to see if thast would help but I was unable to install an older version for some reason. Any ideas?

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,
Matt M.

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't sync ipod, there is no disk in drive F

wat does that mean? does anyone know what kind of disk they are talking about? is it just a probmlem with my computer? does anyone know what i should do?
also, i was able to sync my music, but then i tried to sync some movies and videos and "can't sync ipod. There is no disk in drive F" popped up

i think i am having the same problem as well. i plugged my ipod in to my computer last night and it said something about scanning for problems...then it popped up my F drive saying that i needed to insert something into the F drive....
i have tried three different cords to hook up my iPod to my pc...I tried another usb port...so i am assuming that it is either my computer, the iTunes or the iPod...regardless of what it is, my iPod wont update. and when it says it is updating it's not.
Does ANYONE know what to do??

Can't sync ipod classic to new library

Hi, I have two ipods, an older 30gb and a newer 160gb. I only had one library, which I have synced my 160gb ipod to. I created another library because the original is too big for the 30gb ipod. When I go into this new library it, for some unknown reason, has about 3gb of my music in it. Anyway, if I try to sync the 30gb ipod with it nothing happens. The ipod is recognised, it seems like it is syncing for a few seconds then it tells me it is synced. However, there is nothing on it. The 30gb ipod is empty having restored it. It tells me the ipod software is up to date. Any ideas?

You can try another usb port, 30-pin cord, or restart computer. you can also sync seleted music using your other library.

How can i sync ipod to external hard drive ?

Help needed please, brief history,i have an ipod classic and using windows, friend came to tidy up itunes said he would delete doubles and he lost 3/4 of itunes in the process (not good) so ipod still had 150gig of songs on, but itunes was down 70gig with lots of tracks missing,after that i didnt not connect pod to itunes incase it removed tracks from ipod.
Now another friend (better) has transfers all contents of ipod to an external hard drive, and i have wiped itunes completly, thought it best to start a fresh, my question is when i turn my external hard drive(J Drive) on with all the music files how can i sync it to itunes to get everything back into itunes from the external ? i have gone into preferances and advance and changed the sorce to J Drive but it isnt finding anything...... please help

Do you want to keep your tunes on the external drive of have them back on your computer?
If you want them on your external drive, do this:
Go to preferences > advanced in iTunes. Ensure that 'Copy Files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library' is NOT ticked. Now, in windows file manager, navigate to the folder where all your music is stored on your external drive. Drag this to itunes. It should import of the your music's data, but keep the files on the external drive
If you want them on your computer: Do the same but tick 'Copy Files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library'
You should now be good.

IPOD 80g Classic & docking station help!

Hi everyone, hope someone can help. Bought a friend slimline TEAC cdx60i for Christmas to use with her IPOD 80g. When she puts the IPOD into the dock, it freezes and won't play, she has had to reset everytime. Any suggestions before we return the unit to the store, its nice but won't work half the time & frustrating. I saw an earlier post from 2009 that said this was happening after updating Itunes to a newer version? thanks!

A bit more info........this is a CD/IPOD charging unit that attached to the tv to play music/videos from your IPOD (maybe that explanation is not necessary). It plays videos fine when choosing the function from the IPOD menu, but when trying to just play music it freezes on the docking station. My friend is worried about resetting it all the time and just plain doesn't want to deal with the hassle, maybe its not compatible with the classic model? Thanks again all.

Pls help- iTunes can't find my songs on NAS, can't sync iPod (error -50)

Hi-
I’m having serious trouble with my iTunes. FYI I have Windows XP and iTunes ver 8.1 and Ipod 80GB classic. Last month I attached a Buffalo NAS device to my machine and exported my songs to the device. It worked without a hitch for a few weeks, until recently (maybe it has something to do with my importing videos from my Tivo, since the problem happened shortly after that). Yes I went to “preferences > advanced” and used the proper drive letter/location.
Suddenly, several weeks later, my itunes had trouble finding the songs, and beside each one I got a little exclamation point next to the song title with the following error message: “could not be used because the original file cannot be found.” I went to the thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7158063 and did what was recommended, to no avail. I also tried recreating the itunes library as follows: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451 but it did not work. I’m not sure what else to do.
Also, I tried to sync the iPod and I got error message that it could not be synced “an unknown error occurred (-50). I already restored the iPod, to no avail.
Please help.
Thanks
Bill

Yeah, I had the same problem. Just follow the instructions on this page:
http://www.mp3.com/news/stories/1828.html
definitely better than linking it song by song.
peace.

Thin white line at top of ipod 80G classic screen

Would like to know if there is a way to get rid of this line, which is located across the top of the screen, in the area where the battery icon is located. The screen was fine then I downloaded the latest version of software for the 80G Classic and synced it. Next thing I knew I had this white line across the top of the screen. Is there a way to get rid of the line, or do I have to send the unit in and have Apple repair it? Only had the unit since December 2007.

Oh - you are good!

How can I sync iPod 3rd generation to iPad air

How can I sync my iPod 3rd generation to my ipad air?
I have a cable to connect the two devices but, unlike my PC (which I am hoping to put away in the loft forever!) there does not seem to be a sync option in iTunes

The Sync Process is via iTunes.

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!!

Can't sync iPod Touch 4th Gen after updating to IOS 6.0

I've updated my 64GB iPod Touch 4th Gen to IOS 6.0, but now I can’t sync it with iTunes.
It connects OK, but iTunes isn’t detecting what is already there - it thinks it is full of 48MB of “Other” (rather than music, apps, photos, etc.). In other words iTunes isn’t detecting what is already on the iPod properly (it just knows it’s nearly full of something).
So if I try to sync, iTunes thinks it needs to add all my music, etc. again, and therefore says it’s way over capacity (i.e. 48MB of “other” + 48 MB of all my music, etc.).
Help! Any suggestions?

- Try resetting the car system if you can.
Sometimes this works
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
However. sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility. In that case you will have to wait for a firmware update to either the care system or the iPod.

Can I sync iPod on another computer

I have an iPod nano that I had synced to another computer that crashed. I would like to sync my iPod to another computer without losing all my songs that are existing on iPod. Is this possible?

You can't do an iPod to computer transfer of song files using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can do an iPod to computer transfer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your new computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library. You can then sync your iPod nano to that computer's iTunes library.

Can't sync iPod classic 160GB

I recently purchased an iPod classic 160GB. I am running Windows XP with SP2,
iTunes 7.4.3.1, QuickTime 7.2 (I am hesitant to install iTunes 7.5 due to known problems with QuickTime 7.3). I had to go to my local Apple Store to get the latest iPod Software Update installed (56.6 MB is pretty huge; this Update for my iPod video was only 6.2 MB).
Problem Number 1: iTunes cannot successfully download an iPod Software Update (1.0.2) if the download has been Paused and then Resumed; iTunes loses track of the size of the module it was working on. (If there are buttons in the application to pause and resume the download, they should work correctly.) (This happens with both the iPod classic and the iPod Video.)
Problem Number 2: I cannot successfully sync my Music Library (40GB) with my iPod classic. I actually got to listen to a song after 4 days of trying to perform this download (only 800 MB of my music made it into the iPod successfully.) iTunes froze up when the iPod was first attached and also while trying to perform the sync. (I also have and iPod Video (30GB) and it works fine although a little slow.) The Genius at my Apple Store was able to load the iPod successfully using one of their BootCamp machines since my Music Library resides on an external hard disk. (And it only took 4 hours of work to get this far.)
Device Manager in Windows also shows an additional driver (iPod Driver) in the USB section with the iPod classic attached (it is not shown when using the iPod video). Both iPods show as Drive J: in the My Computer window.
Note to Apple Management: When a customer pays $250 to $350 for and iPod, the customer has heightened expectation levels, especially if he/she has had success with prior successful products. Especially since the classic is the 6th generation machine. Please get on this Apple!!!!!

I solved my problem!! I just loaded my iPod classic 160GB with 40GB of music and one video file.
I upgraded to iTune 7.5.0.20 and iPod Software 1.0.2 with no major ill effects. (I had to install iTunes 7.5 a second time because it told me to.) Windows XP is at SP 2 level and appears to be fine.
I tried using msconfig to stop initally loading anything except iTunesHelper and qttask. Nothing major broken yet. This is good news.
I tried loading over one album at a time (Using the Manual button in the options) and iTunes started freezing up at weird places (but it usually came back after a while.)
So I set the iPod into Disk Mode and I went to the Summary screen and only checked the "Enable Disk Use" box. (The top box was already checked.)
I Clicked on the Music tab and chose Sync Music and All songs and playlists (I would suggest you try something less to test this; my whole list took almost 12 hours to copy over. But I'm running with 1.1 USB ports). It ran very smoothly and iTunes only got fussy when I asked it to eject the iPod, but it eventually did it.
After it said I could disconnect, I got the iPod out of Disk Mode by using Menu/Center buttons and presto, it was up and working. All my playlist present and accounted for.
It'll take me a couple of days to find any problems (I have 31 days of music to listen to), but it's looking good.
Thank you to all who have listened to my problems and provided help!!
Apple has managed to keep this customer.
