Can't sync iPod! Please help!

I just went on iTunes today to sync some songs on my iPod. I plugged my iPod in like I always do, and for some reason, It wont sync. There is no error message, and I know that the cord is OK since it says my iPod is charging.
I am horrible with computers, so please help me out
Edit: I don't know if this is important or not, but iTunes makes me log in almost every time I play a purchased song, buy a song, or try to look at my account.

Can't sync photos please help

Set up folder under My Pictures entitled photos for iphone. Only want to sync those photos. When I plug in my iphone to sync, under photos I can see a button for 'selected folder' but it won't let me select that button. AND it only wants to let me sync photos from photoshop elements, which is irrelevant to my wanting to sync from a folder....
had no problems syncing to my ipod from this same folder. Yes, I read the previous post about photo syncing and I deleted the ipod cache subfolder already. still can't sync....
the manual says you can sync just one folder within your documents on your PC, but I can't figure out how to make it happen. Am on a bit of a deadline, since 'need' these photos before October 13, when I leave for a college reunion.
help!!!!

Okay. I figured out how to sync photos. This time, I tried the radio button both before the sync (no luck) but again after the sync was finished - when ITunes said I could disconnect my iphone...NOW, but only when the sync was finished, was I able to get the toggle to work next to Sync Photos from - to select a particular folder on my computer. Synced the 14 photos that I wanted to sync.
Next question: how do I reorder the photos in the album? They aren't even in the same order as in the folder on my PC.

Syncing iPod - please help

When syncing my iPod I get the following message ..... Songs on the iPod "User's iPod" cannot be synced because all of the playlistst selected for syncing no longer exist.
I've reset my iPod & reinstalled iTunes, but I still get the message. I guess I've deleted something by accident - but what do I do to rectify it???
Thanks

You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting:

Can't sync music please help me I'm dumb

why won't my music sync with my blackberry? I had previously had it working and whenever I would get new music I would just connect and re-sync but now it's saying there is no space. I deleted some of the music on my blackberry in order to make more room and deleted more than 50% of my music and it still says the same thing. I then uninstalled the blackberry desktop program and reinstalled it hoping it would solve the problem and it almosd did except then it began to start the process and then say there is an error and it is shutting down. I am stuck. Please help me!

Can't update iPod, please help!!!

Normally when you click on "file" in iTunes, one option is "update iPod" but it is pale (can't select it). I can't update it so please reply if you can help!!
Also, yesterday it wouldn't let me disconnect/eject the iPod, and also every now and again a message saying something about a "corrupt file" comes up.
If you can help me with any of these things. PARTICULARLY the updating one then please reply ASAP!!
thanks!

Try this link put. It has some good basic information on how to update your ipod. Try to manually update your ipod, the instructions for it are in there. When you are talking about the smart list i think you are refering to the smart playlist. What you can do is set a playlist that has different options that will automatically update the playlist. Say for instance everything that you rate as five stars you can make a playlist that will take all of the songs that have five stars and put it on that playlist without you having to do anything.
Now about the issue of the do not disconnect. I had the same issue with mine when I had first got my ipod. If you look in itunes at the very top in the little dropdown menus there will be one called preferences. Now with your ipod connected click on the ipod tab. There should be an option in there that will let you listen to music etc while it is charging on the computer. The default setting for when it is hooked up to a computer is to not play music or anything until it is unplugged.
I hope that will take care of your questions, if not let me know and i'll see what i can find for you and if it did work if you don't mind let me know.

Recover music from synced ipod (please help)

Hey everybody,
I hope someone can help me. I have a 160gb ipod classic. I'm currently in Japan. I connected my ipod to the hotel computer in order to charge it. However, since it has a Japanese language itunes, I accidently pressed the wrong button. My ipod synced with the hotel itunes, and I lost all my music- 9000 songs! however, i haven't added anything else to my ipod, so the music should still be on my hard drive, shouldn't it? if anyone knows a way to recover my music i would greatly appreciate it. peace!

The use of some data recovery software would be your only hope. Check out the post in the link.

Is the iPod still singed into the account isn Settings>iTunes and App Stores and SettingsZ>iCloudl? If it is then I would not be concerned.
Also see:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
since you may have started the 90 day window.
For the other "problem", go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPod....automatically syncing.

TS1702 My iPod Touch 4th generation just won't download apps. I have tried everything I can think of. Please help!

My iPod Touch 4th generation just won't download apps. I have tried everything I can think of. Please help!

Hi, when you say you have tried everything... I presume you have gone into Settings > Store and logged out and back in with your account details?
You could try purchasing an app via iTunes to see if its an issue with the device or the account you're using.
Hope this helps.

Apple Senior tech lady deleted all my external drive data while sorting out other problem. How can I restore all my photos , music etc back to my Mac Pro?(I am so scared, I haven't connected iPhone to sync! Please help)

It was tele tech. I couldn't open my Page Numbers etc. Frist tech chat idiot - following dumping few things in bin, asked me yo upgrade to Yosemite. But the problem still persists. This morning I was asked to do it via telephone and like yesterday, after wasting 20 min, I was put to this apparent Tech Queen ( my foot!). She eventually decided to reinstall Yosemite asked me to connect my external drive while I connected to her. She was moving cursor asking me to move files and delete and I followed her like a dummy. It took 3/4 hours and she called me 3 times once the lengthy process was completed. I suspected from the beginng for the fact that why should be asking me to click all my backup from the very beginning! Eventually she said I deleted... Or someone else or may be my children ! It was a blatant lie. I run my small business from home and I was simply staying in front of the Mac whole day! Children were at school. Then she said I must have used another computer! I only have laptop and the iPad. I will talk to their manager first thing in the morning. In the mean time please let me know as to how can I transfer photos, music etc back to my laptop from my Iphone and IPad .? I am will connect to laptop as I am worried the new BLANK iPhoto may supersede iphone/iPad stuff? Will it? Please let me know. I am not a very tech savvy person. My son who could help me, is in Manchester Uni and Inam in London.

Hi, I have just bought another ipod, I have now a 60GB video ipod and a new 8GB ipod. Does it pose any problem when synchronising ? Can they have different names ? Thks

You can name your iPod whatever you like. If you are connecting a second iPod for your own use, just connect it to your computer and it will update from your existing library. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have it update the whole library, selected playlists or you can manage it manually.
When using a small capacity iPod like the Nano with a large library, you can choose the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" (called Sync Music - All songs and Playlists in iTunes 7). This would allow you to create a playlist specifically for your Nano and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod Nano (around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB). You can read more about playlists at these links:

settings - general - usuage - music - delete. Then do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Then sync the music back via iTunes.

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.
