Can't sync ipod video

i recently bought an ipod video. i immediatley added music to it. it synced and works fine. i can listen to all of the music on it, but when i connect it to my macbook, it isn't reconized. it doesn't even charge. i have a car charger and that works fine. i just need some help figuring out how get my mac to reconize my ipod. help please

I'm suspecting the cable. The car charger uses the Firewire 12V pins while USB is 5V. If you can borrow a replacement, give it a shot.

  • 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.

    . when i plugged my ipod shuffle g1 in a few days ago itunes said the i had to restore my ipod. i did not want to but i had no choice cauz it already deleted my songs. after 5 trys it said "cant restore ipod"ipod". unknown error occurred (1418))(itunes did it by it self, i just put it in one very fateful afternoon. i spent 5 hrs on the computer and i still cant fix it) well i went to this web site to see if they could help me. i found something. it was a program for my ipod but by the time i downloaded it, it was too late. after a while plugging in my ipod "my computer" no longer reconized it as removable disk. a pop up comes up and says this device malfunctioned then my ipod disappears off the face of the earth. i would send it to the apple store but my warranty expired. bummer what should i do?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!umm i dont think anything can work towards our problem

  • 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??

  • HT1454 Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play

    Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic.  I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod.   It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

    Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod?  Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

  • 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.

  • Approximately how many full length movies can a 30g ipod video hold?

    Approximately how many full length movies can a 30g ipod video hold?

    Most of the movies I have are around 450 mb. So for a 30 gig iPod you should get around 60 movies. I use Handbrake to rip movies for the iPod on my mac and Cucusoft to rip them on my XP machine. The size is user selectable and averages around 400 to 500 mb.

    I went on the photos tab into the iPod device into iTunes, I clicked on sync photos from : custom folders named iPod... choosen options are : All the folders and Include the videos...
    When I'm done, I do apply and the the syncing is begining...
    When it is almost finish, I got an error message
    Visual Studio Just-in-time debugger
    An unhandled win32 exception occured in iTunes.exe [4740]. JIT debugging this exception failed with the following error : No installed debugger has JIT debugging enabled. In Visual Studio, JIT debugging can be enabled from Tools/Options/Debugging/Just-In-Time.
    Check the documention index for 'JIT debugging, errors' for more information...

    Can someone help please?

    I would try uninstalling and reinstalling Visual Studio.

  • Can't sync music, videos, apps with homeshare?

    We have a simple PC computer. My father has the IPhone 3g, I recently got the IPhone 4 for my birthday in august. Both my mom and my sister has the IPod touch (3rd and 4th generation i think). And whenever I try to put a new song or movie or a app from the main computer, it will not sync to my phone due to homeshare. Itunes says that I have to "deauthorize" my account in order to put a new song/video/etc on my phone due to having 5 computers on homeshare. But the thing is we're confused because My father and I don't think we have 5 computers on homeshare. If I try to authorize my phone to a different computer, it erases all my apps and my songs on my phone. My father is thinking about deauthorizing one of the accounts on our computers, but he is afraid that all of our music, apps, videos, etc in our libary would be erased. Does other people have this kind of problem or a solution towards this problem?

    Hi Jim,
    Yes, I guess that's the only option I have. That or manage the music without Match. What I on Earth can't understand is that I'm not able to sync the videos manually, as long as Match is turned on. It seems a tad too locked up in my opinion…
    Cheers,
    Massimo

  • Syncing iPod Video with Firewire

    I was wondering why we're unable to sync our music onto our iPod video's via Firewire? I recently needed to erase my iPod and reinstall my library. I had over 9400+ songs, which took over 24 hours to sync. Why can't music be added via Firewire? Thanks
    Ted

    The 5th Gen iPod does not have the necessary firewire controller hardware in it, which makes firewire data transfer impossible.

  • 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.

  • Sync iPod Video- iTunes

    When I connect my iPod Video, iTunes, after trying to sync, says that the iPod can't be found, however the computer still detects it. What's wrong?

    When itunes states that it cannot detect the ipod, is the Do Not Disconnect still on the ipod screen?
    If not, how long does it take itunes to throw this error once the ipod is connected.

  • Sync iPod Video to MacBook & Desktop

    A question for those more experienced iPod aficionados if I may. I have a 60 gig iPod Video and wish to be able to sync music and video from a desktop computer connected to my network (I can use either an iMac or PC running XP Pro) but sync Podcasts from my Macbook. I travel on business and religiously listen to Podcasts while away on business. It would seem that this is not possible due to “Digital Rights Management” or am I mistaken? I don’t wish to load 20 gigs of music files and another 20 gigs of video on my “limited in size” MacBook hard drive. It seems senseless to have all that overhead on a laptop when one carries an iPod. Help would be appreciated.

  • 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.
