Cannot sync ipod, no music show up

I'm want to sync my ipod with itunes and after a success sync, the ipod show me no music, and after i plugin the ipod, itunes say's that it cannot read content and that I have to restore it.

Read the stuff on reallocated sectors via the links in the earlier post. When modern hard drives get a patch of data they can't read back properly they attempt to silently self-heal by using a different area of the drive for that block in future. There is a limit however to how much space has been put to one side for that process. As the number of unreadable sectors escalates it becomes likely that just using the drive is causing futher damage. I think you're about maxed out on the sectors available for remapping. A DFU restore might release those 216 pending sectors, and putting data back on in small chunks might work for a bit, but it would only be a temporary fix at best.

Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up new computer with newest version of itunes

Cannot sync ipod with itunes after setting up on new computer, only songs which tansferred were songs bought on new computer after set up, tried to sync songs and it deleted old songs from ipod. How can I get them back on ipod?? They are showing in music library on itunes still.

If the iPod database gets corrupted, it will add files to "Other" instead of where they really belong.
Restoring the iPod will erase this database and recreate it.
And if I do this, won't I just have the same issue when my iPod is re-updated to the most recent version again?
No, it shouldn't. This is why you Restore the iPod. It erases the corrupt database.

I cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase "" by a computer or device not prev assoc

i cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, which died. Ive managed to save the hard drive and transfer stuff across. I ended up smashing my phone and could update all other stuff on restore but cant sync any music. It is all grey at the top of the screen. Ive re installed itunes and cleared all phone data. Now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase (a song ) by a computer that had not been previously associated with that apple id. So do i have to tell apple now somehow i am using itunes on this pc, and if so how? Because i authorised it and it said this pc was one of 5 aujthorised. if anyone can be of assistance then great!

I'm having a similar problem. I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law & Order. Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy. When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too. No money was removed from my iTunes account & theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop. I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't. I went to the Apple store & they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help. I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response. Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".

Cannot sync iPod after hard drive crash

Hard drive crashed last week so reinstalled new from Dell. Data all backed up. Since new drive in cannot sync iPod. USB cable OK, iTunes "sees" iPod name and can download to iTunes but no sync. Do not get any kind of error msg that iPod registered on "another" computer (which it was). Still under warranty.

Try restoring the iPod in itunes. This should assure that it sync with the current computer it's hooked up to.

Hi Mike,
I have Iphones since they cam out buy IO7 on my iphone 4 is slow and frustrating. I sync itunes with sync window. I tried cable and wireless. I have enough space. If I have a playlist say with 200 songs it will say on itunes sync window syncing 200 songs however I only get 150 songs on my iphone. I have restored iphone twice, I have tried playlists and smart play lists. It seems not to sync the same songs all the time. Prior to IO7 in sinced all my songs. I see on the chats that this is a big problem. Do you have any solutions. the songs that dont sync are the same format as those that do.

Cannot Sync Ipod Classic with Itunes 11

After installing Itunes 11, I cannot sync my Ipod Classic. It has worked perfectly up until this version. Here are the options I like:
Open Itunes when... -- ON
Sync only checked... -- OFF
Convert higher... ON (128) (I have a LOT of music I like to fit on this little ipod)
Manually manage... -- OFF
Enable Disk Use... -- OFF
I have tried restoring the ipod and resyncing everything, but that doesn't work eiter.
I also got some errors about not being able to copy some podcasts (like 100 of them) when I tried syncing after restoring, but I have seen that before and just ignored it and it still gets stuck.
It gets stuck around song 5, I've left it running for two days and still no progress. Even checking "On this iPod" shows me that no songs have sync'd.
Help?
Robb

Update: More information and how I've temporarily solved this problem. I installed the new iTunes 11 on two computers when it came out both of which have the same specs. One was an upgrade from most previous version of itunes, the other was a new install. My idea was to move my library to my other laptop as the old one was running out of space.
I copied my iTunes library over to my other laptop, installed iTunes and started making adjustments like deleting smart playlists and turning off genius. My thinking was to see if i could get itunes to run faster on my other laptop. It did run alot faster with all the genius playlists btw.
I now have my music in two different locations; same everything minus some smart playlists. Long story short, my identical playlists that where not syncing did sync from my original laptop. so there is something different between my two laptops that is causing the sync not to work, again my guess is converting tracks to acc. Maybe the upgraded itunes has files that my new install itunes does not which allow conversion of songs to ACC.
Good news is iTunes now allows you to have multiple locations without deleting your iPod so I can retransfer all my music on my old laptop and keep the library on my new laptop. At least until Apple comes up with a fix.
Good luck, I'll drop more info if anything changes.

Cannot sync iPod nano 6th gen

I created playlists on my computer, dropped them onto my iPod nano 6th generation, and they appear on the left side of my computer screen. When I disconnect the nano, the playlists are not on it. Problem seems reklated to not being able to sync. I get "unknown error"-cannot sync.

What is the full wording of the error message you are receviving?
Is the playlist configured to sync to your iPod from under its Music configuration tab in iTunes or do you manually manage the iPod's contents?

Welcome to the discussions,
did you already try to remove and reinstall iTunes and all Apple related software? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Is your computer authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?

Cannot sync iPod with click wheel to iTunes...

I cannot sync my iPod with click wheel to my iTunes on Windows. I have already attempted the five R's, multiple times, including restoring my iPod three times, and updating my iTunes software. But when I plug my iPod in, it takes forever to be recognized by iTunes, and just sits there, whizzing and clicking, with the "Do Not Disconnect" message blinking. After awhile, iTunes will download a song or two from my library, then quit. I often get a message that says my iPod is "corrupted." Help! How can I get my iTunes library back on to my iPod?

I am having similar issues. I have received lots of advice, none of which work so far but there is lots to try here. Good luck!

Error (-50) CANNOT SYNC IPOD!

Hello, I have a 4 GB iPod mini. Everything was working fine BEFORE I upgraded to iTunes 7.1. Right after I did this, all of a sudden I cannot sync my mini. I get this message:
"The iPod cannot be synced. An unknown error has occured. (-50).
I am suprised, because I genereally don't have any problems with iTunes. I hope this is something that can be solved. Thanks.

Oh My~lanta! I am just about at my wit's end w/ this too!!! I'm experiencing the same problems although it seems like everyday I get a new error message!!!! My computer crashed back in December and ever since, my IPOD has not been the same. I thought it had something to do w/ the computer crashing but from what I read here, it seems it may be something w/ the latest version of ITunes and if so, why on earth has it not been fixed yet??!!! Today I have just about had it! My Ipod, even after rebooting, restoring, reinstalling won't even work at all and I get a message today that says there was a problem downloading the software and the requested resource was not found. All of this started when I tried to plug in my Ipod Mini to sync it to ITunes. It said IPOD cannot be synced, unknown error occurred (-48). I tried to restore it at that point and then I got the message that it could not be synced, Requested File could not be found. After a few days and trying this again, I got another message that said Disk could not be read from or written to, Corrupted & Not readable; IPOD connection status failed. Last night when I completely uninstalled and then reinstalled, it started to sync and appeared to be downloading most of my songs, well it got to 200 and then stopped, said it could not be synced and completely erased everything again. Today tried all over again as well and got a message on my computer saying Delayed Write Failed, unable to save data on file F. So then I reinstalled and rebooted and all that again and now I have a "coruppted Ipod" and can't even do anything with it! I'm at a loss and pretty upset that there is not a 1-800# that I can find to call and talk to somebody about this over the phone! Any help???!!! Please, I'm really freaking out about this!
